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
Mapping the Hamas-Israel controversy: Natural language processing and actor networks from YouTube comments
No full textEl presente artículo media entre el mapeo de controversias realizado por las ciencias sociales y el análisis de controversias en red realizado desde las ciencias computacionales y estadísticas. Se aborda el conflicto Hamás-Israel desde una perspectiva crítica, analizando comentarios en español realizados en vídeos de principalmente de medios informativos en YouTube. Para su análisis, se estructuran siete categorías que definen el contenido de dichos comentarios. La categorización fue realizada automáticamente a través de un método de clasificación supervisado con “Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers” (BERT) programado en Python. Los 253.925 comentarios clasificados fueron analizados en su contexto y dispuesto como red de entidades en Gephi a partir de un mapeo de actores. Este artículo se propone como una investigación exploratoria de la controversia Hamás e Israel de comentarios en español entre octubre de 2023 y enero del 2024, además de una nueva apuesta metodológica en estudios de ciencia y tecnología.Pontificia Universidad JaverianaThis article mediates between the mapping of controversies carried out by the social sciences and the analysis of controversies in network carried out from the computational and statistical sciences. It addresses the Hamas-Israel conflict from a critical perspective, analyzing comments in Spanish made in videos of mainly media on YouTube. For its analysis, seven categories are structured that define the content of these comments. The categorization was done automatically through a classification method supervised with "Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers" (BERT) programmed in Python. The 253,925 classified comments were analyzed in context and arranged as a network of entities in Gephi from a mapping of actors. This article is proposed as an exploratory investigation of the Hamas and Israel controversy of comments in Spanish between October 2023 and January 2024, in addition to a new methodological commitment in science and technology studies
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
Ethnomedicinal plants of Sarıgöl district (Manisa), Turkey
No full textSelvi, Selami/0000-0002-9959-6945; Lopez, Victor/0000-0001-6969-1055; Lopez, Victor/0000-0001-6969-1055Ethnopharmacological relevance: This paper provides new and significant ethnopharmacological information on medicinal plants used by native people who live in Sarigol and its surroundings in Turkey. Aim of the study: To compile herbal remedies from the area of Sarigol with their traditional uses, parts of the plant used and form of administration as well as to calculate ethnobotanical indices and validate its therapeutic use. Materials and methods: Plant samples that have been collected by herbalists or informants from Sarigol and its surroundings for medical purposes were studied by visiting the villages during the study period, and then brought to the laboratory to identify the species. The relative frequency citation (RFC), use value (UV), informant consensus factor (ICF) and fidelity level (FL) were computed for the plants included in the study as well as a pharmacological validation from International Official sources by using WHO, ESCOP and EMA monographs. Results: In this research conducted between 2010 and 2013,141 taxa affiliated with 55 families, including 3 Gymnosperms, were determined as they used for medical purposes. The study was carried out by visiting 15 villages and 4 herbalist shops identified in Sarigol and its surroundings. Asteraceae, Lamiaceae, Fabaceae, Rosaceae and Apiaceae have been detected as the most consumed families for medical purposes. The research showed that most of the informants agreed on the use of Vitis vinifera fruits to cure gastrointestinal diseases that demonstrated the highest fidelity level (0.62). Only 31, out of 141, of the species recorded in this study, currently have a monograph with a validated use. Conclusion: During the survey, it was observed that local people consumed plants in the form of the infusion, whereas when using hard organs such as bark or branches, decoctions were preferred. It was identified that most of the medicinal plants have been used for gastrointestinal and respiratory disorders, and they are mainly utilized in the form of infusion or decoction. Vitis vinifera has a different traditional use compared to therapeutic indication proposed by monographs from Official sources like ESCOP or EMA. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved
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
