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
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

About the punishment and its measurement
No full textO objetivo do presente estudo é fazer um exame da pena e da sua fixação. A escolha do tema deveu-se, em parte, pela sua exploração teórica menos freqüente, também contribuindo o desejo de realçar e oferecer algumas reflexões para a rediscussão de alguns aspectos do modelo existente para a determinação da pena. Utiliza-se o trabalho de uma retrospectiva histórica das espécies punitivas e a forma de sua fixação. A partir dessa digressão, são analisados os princípios que se encontram hoje consagrados em relação à matéria, bem como as finalidades atribuíveis à pena, cuja compreensão tem se mostrado decisiva no momento de interpretar os elementos oferecidos pelo legislador para sua dosimetria pelo juiz. Contudo a meta principal do trabalho seja fazer uma releitura do que já se escreveu a respeito, incidentalmente, a dissertação propõe, de lege ferenda, a rediscussão do critério trifásico, a divisão do processo penal em duas fases uma para a apuração da responsabilidade e outra para a fixação da pena e a supressão do mínimo legal e de outros limites que impedem a fixação de regimes de cumprimento mais brandos, de substituição e de suspensão condicional da pena. Para este fim, realçando a incapacidade do atual sistema de lidar com situações de caráter excepcional, o texto procura demonstrar a compatibilidade dessas proposições com os princípios que regem a fixação da pena, assim como afastar as possíveis objeções para a sua implementação. Ao destacar as vantagens dessas alterações, o estudo propõe que a ampliação do arbítrio judicial seja, por outro lado, acompanhada de uma ampliação dos mecanismos de controle feitos pelas várias instâncias judiciais, valorizando, dessa maneira, o papel da jurisprudência no cumprimento desse tão difícil mister que é individualizar a penaThe purpose of this study is to do an examination of the punishment and its determination. The choice of the subject was due to its less frequent theoretic search, which was reinforced by the desire to highlight and offer some thoughts to review some of the aspects of the current model existent to the determination of the punishment. The work utilizes an historic retrospective of the kinds of punishment and the way of its determination. From that digress there are analyzed the principles that are nowadays considered as fundamental for this subject, as well as the finalities related to the punishment, which comprehension is been shown conclusive in the moment to interpret the elements offered by the legislator to determination of the measure of punishment by the judge. Although the main objective of this work is to do another reading of what was written about before, incidentally, the essay proposes, de lege ferenda, to discuss once again the rule that divides the determination of the punishment into three phases, to divide the criminal procedure into two phases one to verify the criminal responsibility and other to determinate the punishment and the extinguish of the minimum of punishment and of another limits that avoid the determination of accomplish of punishment in more lenient regimes, the substitution of the punishment and the conditional suspension of the punishment. To this purpose, highlighting the incapacity of the current system to deal with exceptional situations, the text tries to demonstrate the compatibility of these propositions with the principles that rule the determination of punishment, and also to withdraw the objections to its implementation. As long as the essay highlights the advantage of these modifications, it also proposes that the enlargement of the judges discretion should be followed by the necessity to increment the mechanisms of controlling that is done by the several jurisdictions, increasing the value, on that manner, the role of jurisprudence in accomplish this though mission which is to individualize the punishmen
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
