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
Roteiro pedagógico para o projeto integrador interdisciplinar “Nessa rua tem um bosque”
Get PDFThis article presents an educational product developed for the 3rd year of high school, aiming at youth protagonism, directed to the disciplines of Natural Sciences and their Technologies, with a part dedicated to the teacher and another to the student, showing aspects of environmental interpretation in fragments urban forests. Students must be able to identify a guiding question, use research steps, carry out practical activities and present solutions to this question, in an interdisciplinary way. The methods include six steps to be completed in groups, according to the student's profile, inside and outside the school environment, with the production of a collection of activities; digital wall on environmental interpretation and ecosystem services; local agenda of environmental conservation, with emphasis on human health, dossier of photographs of practical classes in biology, chemistry and physics; album of environmental problems with possible solutions; dissemination of results to the school community. The results seek students' understanding of themes related to the conservation of urban forest fragments, the importance of ecosystem services for biodiversity and the consequences of their degradation. The script can guide teachers of Biology, Chemistry and Physics, to develop their contents in practice, in an instigating way for students.Guión pedagógico para el proyecto integrador interdisciplinario “hay un bosque en esta calle”
Resumen
Este artículo presenta un producto educativo desarrollado para el 3° año de la enseñanza media, visando el protagonismo de los jóvenes, dirigido a las asignaturas de Ciencias Naturales y sus Tecnologías, con una parte dedicada al docente y otra al alumno, evidenciando aspectos de interpretación ambiental en fragmentos bosques urbanos. Los estudiantes deben ser capaces de identificar una pregunta orientadora, utilizar pasos de investigación, discutir en grupos, realizar actividades prácticas y presentar soluciones a esta pregunta, de manera interdisciplinaria. Los métodos incluyen 6 pasos a realizar, dentro y fuera del ámbito escolar, con la producción de un conjunto de actividades. Los resultados buscan la comprensión por parte de los estudiantes de temas relacionados con la conservación de fragmentos de bosque urbano, la importancia de los servicios ecosistémicos para la biodiversidad y las consecuencias de su degradación. El proyecto puede orientar a los profesores de Biología, Química y Física a desarrollar sus contenidos en la práctica, de manera estimulante para los estudiantes.

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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
