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
Sexualität als Thema von pädagogischen Fachkräften. Schlaglichter aus englischsprachigen Fachdiskursen
Get PDFIn diesem Vortrag, der beim Bundeskongress Soziale Arbeit 2018 in Bielefeld gehalten wurde, werden internationale Forschungsergebnisse zum Umgang mit Sexualität in pädagogischen Kontexten vorgestellt. Der Hauptschwerpunkt liegt dabei auf den Erfahrungen der pädagogischen Fachkräfte und wie ihr Verständnis von Sexualität in den untersuchten englischsprachigen Fachzeitschriften dargestellt wird. Daraus ergeben sich wichtige Anknüpüfungspunkte für Forschung und Praxis der Pädagogik und Sozialen Arbeit in Deutschland, auf die in diesem Vortrag ebenfalls eingegangen wird.
Die verwandte Literatur wurde im Rahmen eines Monitoring des englischsprachigen Forschungsstandes zu sexueller Gewalt in pädagogischen Kontexten gesammelt und aufbereitet (siehe: Forschungsnetzwerk gegen sexualisierte Gewalt).Diese Arbeit wurde finanziert durch das Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung als Teil des Forschungsprojekts ProPEM - "Profilbildung, Praxistransfer, Ethik und Monitoring in der Förderlinie 'Sexuelle Gewalt in pädagogischen Kontexten'"
„Ich habe da, glaube ich, ganz wenig’ Tabuthemen. Außer es geht halt um mich persönlich.“: Professionelle Beziehungsarbeit in der stationären Jugendhilfe beim Umgang mit Sexualität aus Sicht der pädagogischen Fachkräfte
Get PDFIn dieser qualitativen Forschungsarbeit geht es um die professionelle Beziehungsarbeit von pädagogischen Fachkräften in der stationären Jugendhilfe bei der Begleitung der psychosexuellen Entwicklung der Adressat*innen. Das Erkenntnisinteresse der Arbeit zielt dabei auf die sexuelle Integrität der Bewohner*innen und der pädagogischen Fachkräfte und wie diese gewahrt und durch die Art der Beziehungsarbeit unterstützt wird. Die zentrale Forschungsfrage lautet deswegen: Wie gestalten pädagogische Fachkräfte die Beziehungen zu den Adressat*innen in Einrichtungen der stationären Jugendhilfe beim Umgang mit Sexualität? Die Studie basiert auf 18 problemzentrierten Einzelinterviews mit pädagogischen Fachkräften aus insgesamt 13 Einrichtungen der stationären Jugendhilfe bei elf unterschiedlichen Trägern. Die Interviews werden mithilfe der Situationsanalyse nach Adele E. Clarke und der Thematischen Analyse nach Virginia Braun und Victoria Clarke ausgewertet. Aus den Interviews lassen sich fünf grundlegende Handlungsstrategien herausarbeiten, wie Fachkräfte (Jugend-)Sexualitätsthemen bearbeiten. In einer aufsteigenden Skala des Grades der nach außen sicht- baren Einflussnahme sind das: (1) geschehen lassen; (2) begleiten; (3) erziehen; (4) eingreifen. Außerhalb dieser Skala einzuordnen ist eine Kategorie (5) ausgliedern. Mit Rückgriff auf das Modell des professionellen Habitus nach Roland Becker-Lenz und Silke Müller-Hermann wird festgestellt: Der Selbstschutz der pädagogischen Fachkraft ist Voraussetzung für einen professionellen Umgang mit den Bedarfen der Jugendlichen. Es gilt somit aus berufsethischer Sicht, die sexuelle Integrität der Jugendlichen und der Fachkräfte zu wahren und zu fördern
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
'Suddenly you are told that you are leaders.' The framing of leadership among members of feminist NGOs in New Delhi
Get PDFLeadership is often proposed as a key solution for social change, although the actual meaning remains unclear. By studying leadership in the context of Indian feminist NGOs’ hybridity, situated in-between Western structures and the values of the Indian Women’s Movement, I intended to deepen our understanding of the lived meaning of leadership and followership, beyond its buzzword character. Through an embedded single-case study of the feminist NGO circle in New Delhi, using semi-structured interviews, I explored how leadership is framed by their members, and what this implies for their everyday leadership experiences. In a cross-case analysis, I found that the members’ leadership frames were mostly positive, yet contradictory. Their frames, influenced by feminist thought, emphasised agency by seeing everyone as a leader of their own life. However, they also applied more conventional understandings of leadership that acknowledge their group context and ascribe more power to the leader. The members highlighted their feminist identity by speaking about feminist leadership. I argued that the accelerating process of NGOisation hinders this aspirational concept to flourish. By strengthening feminist leadership in theory and practice, especially examining followers’ roles in the process, I hope that we will inspire others to lead and follow like feminists.This thesis was written as part of the LUMID International Master programme in applied International Development and Management at Lund University (Sweden)
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
