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
Educação e participação social na APA de Guaraqueçaba : a capacitação como possibilidade na mediação de conflitos ambientais
Get PDFOrientadora: Prof. Dra. Cristina Frutuoso TeixeiraDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal do Paraná, Setor de Educação, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação. Defesa: Curitiba, 03/08/2009Inclui bibliografiaResumo : Os conflitos ambientais constituem uma realidade que, cada vez mais, tende a ocupar espaço nas discussões sobre os processos de transformação econômica e social dos territórios. No processo de mediação desses conflitos a participação da sociedade é considerada estruturante. Entretanto, normatizar processos de gestão ambiental pública que consideram e valorizam a dimensão da participação em sua estrutura, não garante sua efetividade, uma vez que a nossa sociedade é marcada por desigualdades de condições de participação, entendidas aqui como assimetrias. Nas unidades de conservação, os conselhos gestores que, historicamente, configuram uma dimensão da chamada esfera pública, são os espaços que viabilizam a participação e o controle social sobre o uso e a apropriação dos recursos naturais protegidos. Entre os esforços para garantir a efetividade desses espaços, a educação surge enquanto possibilidade. Assim, esta pesquisa busca identificar, através de um estudo de caso, os aspectos e as influências da educação nos processos participativos de gestão ambiental pública em unidades de conservação. Para tanto, será analisado o processo educativo que norteou a formação do conselho gestor da Área de Proteção Ambiental de Guaraqueçaba.Abstract : The environmental conflicts are a reality that, increasingly, tends to occupy space in the discussions on the processes of economic and social transformation of the territories. In the process of mediation of conflicts in society's participation is considered structuring. However, standardize environmental public management processes that consider the size and value of participation in its structure, does not guarantee its effectiveness, since our society is marked by inequality of conditions for participation, understood here as asymmetries. In conservation units, the management councils that historically, call up a dimension of public sphere, are the spaces that enable the participation and social control over the use and ow nership of natural resources protected. Among efforts to ensure the effectiveness of these spaces, education emerges as a possibility. Thus, this research seeks to identify, through a case study, the aspects and influences of education in participatory processes of environmental public management on conservation units. It is considered the educational process that guided the formation of the management council the Environmental Protection Area of Guaraqueçaba
O papel da Rede Gestora no planejamento do Corredor da Biodiversidade do Rio Paraná
Get PDFOrientador: Prof. Dr. Carlos Alberto Cioce SampaioCo-orientadora: Profª Drª Cristina Frutuoso TeixeiraTese (doutorado) - Universidade de Federal do Paraná, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Meio Ambiente e Desenvolvimento. Defesa: Brasilia, 06/05/2014Inclui referênciasResumo: A tensão entre as questões ambientais e de desenvolvimento, figurada pelas
relações históricas de uso e conservação dos recursos naturais é referência
interdisciplinar da presente pesquisa, caracterizada como aplicada e relatada
como estudo de caso. A porção sul do Bioma Mata Atlântica e sua transição
com o Cerrado brasileiro sustenta uma complexidade de relações sociais e
características ambientais singulares que referendam a escolha desse território
como base da análise empírica. O processo de planejamento do Corredor de
Biodiversidade do Rio Paraná a partir dessa referência territorial foi conduzido
pela sua Rede Gestora, a qual buscou diminuir o distanciamento entre Estado
e sociedade civil organizada. Analisar a atuação desse arranjo institucional sob
a perspectiva da governança territorial foi o objetivo da pesquisa. Os resultados
mostram limites e possibilidades que, na medida em que são observados pelos
tomadores de decisão, podem qualificar ações de intervenção no sentido de
conciliar conservação da diversidade biológica com desenvolvimento social e
econômico. Buscar a conectividade de habitas sem alinhamento a estratégias
político-institucionais é um desses limites, o qual compromete sua sustentação.
Da mesma forma, o aparato administrativo que temos hoje não possui as
prerrogativas dialógicas e estruturais para tratar uma política pública de forma
transversal e integrada em todas as etapas. Nesse sentido, a Rede Gestora se
mostra um instrumento eficaz em promover diálogo e articulação institucional.
Seu arranjo criou momentos de reflexão sobre a construção social do território,
destacando seu aprendizado sobre a governança. Portanto, o planejamento
territorial deve ser encarado de forma processual, sendo capaz de transpor a
fragmentação das políticas públicas e as barreiras institucionais que acabam
por comprometer a construção de agendas compartilhadas.

governança.Abstract: The tension between environmental and development issues, figured by the
historical relations of use and conservation of natural resources is
interdisciplinary reference to this research, characterized as applied and
reported as a case study. The southern portion of the Atlantic Forest biome and
its transition to the Brazilian Savannah holds a complexity of social relations
and unique environmental characteristics that endorse the choice of this
territory as a base of empirical analysis. The planning process of the
Biodiversity Corridor of the Paraná River from that territorial reference was led
by its Management Network, which sought to reduce the distance between the
state and civil society organization. Analyze the performance of this institutional
arrangement from the perspective of territorial governance was the objective of
the research. The results show limits and possibilities, as they are observed by
decision makers, may qualify intervention actions to reconcile conservation of
biological diversity with social and economic development. Search the
connectivity of habitats without aligning the political-institutional strategies is
one of these limits, which committed their support. Similarly, the administrative
apparatus we have today does not have the dialogic and structural prerogatives
to address a public policy in a transversal or integrated manner at all stages. In
this sense, the Management Network proves an effective tool to promote
dialogue and institutional integration. Your arrangement created moments of
reflection on the social construction of the territory, highlighting their learning on
governance. Therefore, territorial planning should be seen procedurally, being
able to overcome the fragmentation of public policies and institutional barriers
that end up compromising the construction of shared agendas.

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
