Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis

“From the generalization where all false ideas come from”: criminals, scientists and the medical/juridical discourse about delinquency and punishment in the transition from the 19th to the 20th century
Get PDFEste artigo aborda alguns dos diferentes aspectos que deram significado às discussões médico/jurídicas no Brasil, no período que corresponde à transição do século XIX para o século XX, momento em que elementos teórico-práticos de um movimento de caráter científico com bases na Escola Positiva de Direito Criminal italiana se contrapõem ao Direito Clássico até então praticado no país. Para tanto, partimos de uma análise cultural que visa identificar no processo de modernização e urbanização por que passou a cidade de Porto Alegre/RS o ambiente propício à difusão da ciência médico-legal que, sob diferentes enfoques, buscou identificar, sistematizar e agir sobre a delinquência e os seus agentes. São utilizadas diferentes fontes, entre elas os processos criminais, conside- rados neste trabalho como sendo o principal local em que se busca a articulação entre práticas discursivas e não discursivas, a fim de constatarmos que, através do processo de institucionalização da ciência criminológica de caráter positivo, foi implementado um amplo esquema de perscrutação sobre o corpo físico e social no espaço urbano.This article addresses some of the different aspects that gave meaning to the medical/ juridical discussions in Brazil, in the period corresponding to the transition from the 19th to the 20th century, the moment when the theoretical-practical elements of a movement with scientific elements based on the Italian Positive School of Criminal Law contrasted with Classical Law that had been practiced until then in the country. For this purpose, we start from a cultural analysis that aims to identify in the process of modernization and urbanization that the city of Porto Alegre, RS went through the favorable environment for the diffusion of the medical-legal science that, under different approaches, sought to identify, systematize, and act upon delinquency and its agents. Different sources are used, among them the criminal cases, considered in this article as the main place in which the articulation between discursive and non-discursive practices is sought, in order to verify that that, through the process of institutionalization of the criminological science of positive character, a wide scheme of scrutiny of the physical and social body in the urban space was implemented
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
