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
Acerca de la doctrina «unos mismos hechos» (y otras cuestiones procesales)
Get PDF[Resumen] A los más elementales criterios de la razón jurídica repugna aceptar la firmeza de distintas resoluciones judiciales en virtud de las cuales resulte que unos mismos hechos ocurrieron y no ocurrieron, o que una misma persona fue su autor y no lo fue (STC 158/1985, de 26 de noviembre). La doctrina constitucional «unos mismos hechos» es aplicada en la sentencia objeto de comentario, y nos servirá de base para algunos comentarios críticos. La sentencia objeto de comentario también aborda otras dos cuestiones procesales de trascendencia: la recurribilidad en suplicación si se alega la vulneración de un derecho fundamental, y la aplicabilidad de oficio de la cosa juzgada.[Abstract]
It is repugnant to the most elementary criteria of legal reason to accept the finality of different judicial resolutions by virtue of which it turns out that the same facts occurred and did not occur, or that the same person was their author and was not (Spanish Constitutional Court, Sentence 158/1985, of November 26). This constitutional doctrine usual named as "the same facts" is applied in the sentence object of comment, and will serve as the basis for some critical comments. The judgment subject to comment also addresses two trascendental procedural issues: the possibility of appealing if the violation of a fundamental right is alleged, and the ex officio applicability of the res judicata exception
Globalización y ciudadanía
Get PDF[Resumen] Los Estados Unidos de América y los Estados miembros de la Unión Europea están sufriendo, desde 2007, una crisis económica determinante de profundas reformas en el derecho del trabajo y en el sistema de seguridad social. El presente estudio echa la vista atrás para analizar de dónde venimos y dónde estamos con la finalidad de desentrañar a dónde vamos. A juicio del autor, la constitucionalización y la internacionalización de los derechos fundamentales del trabajador, que fueron los fundamentos que históricamente determinaron el nacimiento y la consolidación del derecho del trabajo como disciplina autónoma del derecho civil, siguen resultando válidos para afrontar la nueva situación generada por la actual crisis económica.[Abstract] The United States and Member States of the European Union are suffering, since 2007, an economic crisis that have provoked deep reforms in the labor law and the social security system. This study looks back to analyze where we came from and where we are in order to fathom where we’re going. For the author, the constitutionalization and internationalization of workers’ fundamental rights, which were the foundations that historically have determined the birth and consolidation of labor law as an autonomous discipline of civil law, still appear valids to address the new situation created by the current economic crisis
