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
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
Applying systems thinking concepts in the analysis of knowledge sharing on WeChat.
No full textThis research is intended to theoretically investigate and analyse the characteristics of
WeChat and its effect on knowledge sharing through a systems thinking approach. As one
of the most popular mobile social application in China, WeChat has social attributes and
the functions of multimedia interaction platform and has been gradually used in
knowledge management practice. On one hand, comparing with virtual communities of
practice, WeChat provides a more open and individual environment which break free the
shackles of workplace relations. On the other hand, as a user-operated media and instant
messaging software, WeChat has dramatically different structure with academic social
network sites, such as ResearchGate and academia.edu and so on. It is found that these
new emerging tools could be useful in sharing explicit and tacit knowledge through
providing interactive and collaborative technologies. Meanwhile, these user-operated
media are bringing new challenges for knowledge sharing. For example, they provide a
high level of convenience for the diffusion of “false knowledge”. But there is still a
poverty of literature to understand how and what might be the contributions and effects of
social media on sharing different knowledge dynamically.
Therefore, the purpose of this research is to analyze the effects of social media on
knowledge sharing towards a systems thinking approach in order to provide a better
understanding of social media users’ knowledge sharing behavior and important practical
implications for the scientific and reasonable management of knowledge sharing. By
conducting a study of the characteristics of knowledge sharing on WeChat, the subject,
object, content, channel, and effect of knowledge sharing were analysed. The results show
that WeChat present knowledge sharing opportunity that augment personal and
organizational knowledge management in terms of tacit knowledge sharing, explicit
knowledge sharing and false knowledge sharing
