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
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
Sulla misura della consonanza nella simulazione degli approcci sistemici vitali
No full textIl tema della valutazione della consonanza, intesa quale tendenza di due entità ad armonizzare i propri profili (espressi in termini di categorie, schemi e dotazione informativa) nonché i propri giudizi, è approfondito in questo lavoro, il cui contributo si rinviene nell’efficace individuazione di una metodologia di misura della consonanza in rapporto ai diversi elementi caratterizzanti i sistemi vitali e i loro sovrasistemi.
La possibilità di misurare l’effetto dei processi decisionali di impresa apre nuovi ed interessanti scenari. Nel lavoro si presenta una metrica per la misurazione della distanza tra la varietà posseduta dagli organi di governo di uno specifico sovrasistema preso a riferimento ed il soggetto principale utilizzatore del modello di supporto.
Le dinamiche che si presentano nel corso dei processi decisionali aziendali non possono essere studiate in maniera indipendente da quelle economiche, psicologiche e culturali degli individui e dei gruppi sociali che sono attori della decisione. Una possibilità e quella di approfondire gli studi che tendono ad esaminare le imprese in un'ottica sistemica e che ne analizzano gli organi di governo. In questo caso, in ogni processo decisionale che coinvolge più di una persona, le scelte fatte da ciascuno influenzano quelle degli altri. Avere a disposizione uno strumento di supporto alle decisioni che permette di valutare come una scelta si ripercuota e influenzi gli altri assume un ruolo determinante in molteplici ambiti. All'uopo e fondamentale introdurre il concetto di consonanza, come compatibilità tra sistemi, atta a consentire che essi possano rapportarsi.
Per tali motivi, il problema che ci si pone e di individuare una metrica per la misurazione della consonanza tra la varietà posseduta dagli organi di governo di uno specifico sovrasistema preso a riferimento ed il soggetto principale utilizzatore del modello di supporto. La soluzione che si propone, basata su un’analogia con le metodologie di analisi impiegate nello studio di molteplici sistemi dinamici di tipo hamiltoniano [Timoshenko, 1974], ha il vantaggio di fornire uno strumento di indagine indipendente dal modello prescelto per l'analisi delle interazioni tra i decisori. Essa fornisce uno strumento che permette grande flessibilità dal punto di vista della capacità di descrivere le entità e i pesi che sono utilizzati dal modello sottostante.The issue of evaluation of consonance, understood as the tendency of the two entities to harmonize their own profiles (expressed in terms of categories, patterns, and supplied information) as well as its judgment, is detailed in this work, whose contribution is found in the effective detection of a methodology to measure the consonance in relation to different elements characterizing the oversystem. The viable systems approach and their ability to measure the effect of the decision-making processes of enterprise opens up new and interesting scenery. In the paper, we present a metric for measuring the distance between the varieties owned by the governing bodies of a specific oversystem taken as a reference and the subject main user of the model support. The dynamics that arise in the course of corporate decision-making can not be studied independently from the economic, psychological and cultural rights of individuals and social groups that are actors in the decision. And a chance to further his studies tend to examine in a systematic and companies that analyze government bodies. In this case, in any decision-making process that involves more than one person, each influencing the choices made by those of others. Be prepared to provide a tool for decision support that allows the assessment is passed as a choice and influence others plays a key role in many areas. Purpose and essential to introduce the concept of consonance, as compatibility between systems, adapted to allow that they can relate. Per these reasons, the problem that arises, and to identify a metric for measuring the consonance between the variety owned by the organs government of a specific oversystem taken as a reference and the subject of the main user support model. The solution that is proposed, based on an analogy with the methods of analysis used in the study of many dynamical systems of type Hamiltonian [Timoshenko, 1974], has the advantage of providing an investigative tool independent of the model chosen for the analysis of interactions between decision makers. It provides a tool that allows great flexibility from the point of view of the ability to describe the entity and the weights that are used by the underlying model
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
