Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
„Sie ist nicht gestorben, er hat sie getötet" : der Einfluss des Framings von Femiziden auf die emotionale Reaktion und Opferbeschuldigung in Österreich
No full textFemizide stehen an der Spitze des Kontinuums geschlechtsspezifischer Gewalt und stellen ein gesellschaftspolitisch hochrelevantes Thema dar. Insbesondere im österreichischen Kontext zeigen sich hinsichtlich der Häufigkeit und der medialen Darstellung von Femiziden bedenkliche Entwicklungen. Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht, welchen Einfluss das Framing von Femiziden in der medialen Berichterstattung auf die emotionale Reaktion und die Tendenz zur Opferbeschuldigung der Leser*innen in Österreich ausübt. Es wurde angenommen, dass verharmlosende Frames („Beziehungsdrama“) die emotionale Reaktion im Vergleich zu adäquaten Frames („Mord“ bzw. „Femizid“) abschwächen, während die Tendenz zur Opferbeschuldigung zunimmt. Geschlecht und individuelle Ausprägungen von Sexismus wurden als Moderatorvariablen betrachtet. Im Rahmen einer Online- Vignettenstudie mit drei unterschiedlich geframten Zeitungsartikeln wurde eine empirische Untersuchung mit N = 263 Teilnehmenden durchgeführt. Die Ergebnisse zeigten, dass die unterschiedlichen Framing-Bedingungen keine signifikanten Effekte auf die emotionale Reaktion und die Tendenz zur Opferbeschuldigung der Rezipient*innen hatten. Es konnten jedoch signifikante Zusammenhänge zwischen dem Geschlecht und der emotionalen Reaktion sowie zwischen den Ausprägungen im hostilen Sexismus und der emotionalen Reaktion festgestellt werden. Die Ergebnisse werden im Hinblick auf praktische Implikationen sowie methodische Limitationen diskutiert. Darüber hinaus wird ein Ausblick auf zukünftige Forschungsansätze gegeben.Femicide represents the most extreme form on the continuum of gender-based violence and poses a highly relevant socio-political issue. Particularly in the Austrian context, concerning developments can be observed regarding both the prevalence and the media representation of femicides. This thesis investigates the influence of the framing of femicides in media reporting on the readers’ emotional reaction and their tendency towards victim blaming in Austria. It was hypothesized that downplaying frames (“relationship drama”) would lead to a weaker emotional reaction compared to accurate frames (“murder” or “femicide”), whereas the tendency to blame the victim would increase. An empirical online vignette study was conducted, in which three differently framed newspaper articles were presented to N = 263 participants. The results revealed no significant effects of the different framing conditions on the participants’ emotional reaction or their tendency to blame the victim. However, significant associations were found between the participants’ gender and their emotional reactions, as well as between their level of hostile sexism and their emotional reactions. The findings are discussed in terms of practical implications and methodological limitations. Furthermore, potential directions for future research are outlined.eingereicht von Elisabeth Linzner, BScMasterarbeit Johannes Kepler Universität Linz 202

Variations on the Author
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
Full text linkWe 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
