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
DESVENDANDO A MATEMÁTICA E A LÍNGUA PORTUGUESA ATRAVÉS DO FILME ZOOTOPIA
No full textEste presente trabalho, contempla o relato de experiência de uma prática pedagógica que se realizou em uma turma do Programa de Novas Oportunidades de Aprendizado (PENOA), de uma Escola Estadual de Santa Catarina, com alunos do 6° ao 8° ano do Ensino fundamental. Teve como objetivo trabalhar as disciplinas de Matemática e Língua Portuguesa de uma forma mais lúdica e prazerá facilitando assim o processo de ensino aprendizagem entre professor e aluno, através do filme Zootopia. Desenvolveu-se através da construção de maquete explorando conceitos e formas geométricas, jogo online de Matemática baseado no filme que visa a compreensão das quatro operações básicas e a elaboração de Histórias em quadrinho focando as operações. Na Língua portuguesa foram construídos: contos, fábulas e crônicas, sendo que estas foram divididas cada conteúdo em uma turma específica. Podemos concluir então ao termino desta atividade que desta forma o processo de ensino aprendizagem se torna mais lúdico, e atraente para os alunos, pois os menos interagem com as atividades além de tornar as disciplinas mais contextualizadas
Indicadores de aprendizagem de matemática da última década (2015-2025): uma análise da Avaliação SAEB do 5. ° Ano das escolas municipais das capitais da região Sul do Brasil
Get PDFThis article aims to analyze mathematics learning indicators among 5th-grade elementary students who participated in the SAEB assessment in public schools located in the capital cities of Brazil’s Southern region. To this end, data were collected and examined based on information from the platform of the Anísio Teixeira National Institute for Educational Studies and Research (INEP). The analytical process involved both quantitative and qualitative approaches to assess the academic performance of municipal schools in the southern capitals—Porto Alegre, Florianópolis, and Curitiba. Findings indicate that the proportion of students placed at or below proficiency level 5 remains higher than those reaching up to level 10. These disparities intensified during the pandemic period, underscoring the influence of social and cultural factors on learning, as reflected in the socioeconomic questionnaires.O presente artigo tem como objetivo analisar os indicadores de aprendizagem de matemática das turmas dos 5° Anos do Ensino Fundamental que realizaram a avaliação SAEB nas escolas municipais das capitais da região Sul do Brasil. Para alcançar este objetivo, realizou-se levantamento e análise dos dados partindo da plataforma do Instituto Nacional de Estudos e Pesquisas Educacionais Anísio Teixeira (INEP). O processo analítico foi constituído com análise quantitativa e qualitativa do desempenho de aprendizagem das escolas municipais das capitais do Sul do Brasil (Porto Alegre, Florianópolis e Curitiba). Percebeu-se que o número de estudantes incluídos nos níveis de proficiência abaixo ou igual a 5 ainda é maior que os níveis até 10. Esses dados intensificaram-se no período pandêmico, reforçando o impacto dos fatores sociais e culturais da aprendizagem considerados pelos questionários socioeconômicos
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
