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
The vacillating racialist: Nina Rodrigues under your light studies on crowds, religiosity and anthropology (1880-1906)
No full textEsta tese se concentra nos trabalhos científicos escritos por Nina Rodrigues, muitos dos quais ignorados ou esquecidos pela academia ao longo do século XX, que viveu em um tempo de incertezas, de caos administrativo, no momento de transição da Monarquia para a República. Membro da prestigiada Faculdade de Medicina da Bahia, Nina tornou-se voz ativa entre os seus pares exigindo reformas em diversas áreas da Medicina Pública. Exibiu seu desejo por uma centralização da máquina estatal, por uma ação intervencionista entre a população negra e mestiça, muito embora seu objetivo último fosse a construção de uma sociedade liberal e civilizada. Nina construiu sua trajetória profissional a partir, sobretudo, das áreas da medicina-legal e da etnografia afro-brasileira. Contudo, ele também foi o primeiro a investigar, no Brasil, manifestações coletivas complexas que desafiaram o conhecimento científico tradicional de meados dos oitocentos. A tese tenta desvendar o seu intricado pensamento, no qual por um lado, o racismo científico mantém-se como matriz de reflexão, mas por outro, é relativizado em diversos momentos, quando o autor entrevê na população híbrida brasileira não motivo para fatalismo, mas uma possibilidade para o progresso do país. Ao deparar-se com o fenômeno das multidões, para poder decifra-lo, o médico recorreu a uma bibliografia em quase sua totalidade estrangeira. Apelou a autores como o sociólogo Gabriel Tarde e o criminologista Scipio Sighele, que ofereciam explicações para a formação das coletividades sem recorrer a pressupostos do racialismo, tão valorizados por Nina. As coletividades anormais eram formadas, em sua maioria, por gentes de cor , uma população que precisava, na visão de Nina, ser resgatada dos níveis mais rudimentares de desenvolvimento, como o selvagerismo e o barbarismo, e alçada ao mais avançado, ocivilizatório.This thesis focuses on scientific papers written by Nina Rodrigues, many of whom ignored or 'forgotten' by the Academy throughout the twentieth century. The maranhense doctor lived in a time of uncertainty, administrative chãos, at the time of transition from Monarchy to Republic. Member of the prestigious Faculty of Medicine of Bahia, Nina
became an active voice among his peers demanding reforms in various areas of Public Medicine. He showed his desire for centralization of the state machine, by an interventionist action between the black and mestizo population, although its ultimate goal was to build a liberal and civilized society. Nina has built his career from the areas of legal medicine and african-brazilian ethnography, especially. However, he was also
the first to investigate, in Brazil, complex collective manifestations - as the movement of Canudos (1893-1897) or the Itapagipe epidemic of hysteria (1882) - which challenged the traditional scientific knowledge in the mid-eight hundred. Taking as a reflection axis these works of Nina Rodrigues, the thesis attempts to unravel its intricate thought, in which on
the one hand, scientific racism remains as a reflection matrix, but on the other, is relativized at various times when the author glimpsed in the brazilian hybrid population no reason for fatalism, but a chance for the country's progress. When confronted with the phenomenon of crowds, to decipher it power, the maranhense doctor used a bibliography
in almost its entire foreign. He appealed to authors such as the sociologist Gabriel Tarde and the criminologist Scipio Sighele, which offered explanations for the formation of collectives without resorting to racialism assumptions, so valued by Nina. However, the idea-synthesis of inferiority of black and mestizo remained in his work, set, however, in a new evolutionary-social framework, results of Nina readings of the works of the
anthropologist Edward B. Tylor. Abnormal collectives were formed, mostly, by "colored people", a population that needed, in Nina's view, to be rescued of the most rudimentary levels of development, such as the savagery and barbarism, and reased to the most advanced, civilizing

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
Messianismo, Milenarismo e Catolicismo (Popular) no Discurso Intelectual das Ciências Humanas e Sociais: Apontamentos Preliminares para uma Questão Conceitual
Get PDFA proposta do artigo é analisar a natureza e o percurso evolutivo de três conceitos essenciais para o campo da História das Religiões e das Religiosidades: Messianismo, Milenarismo e Catolicismo Popular. A investigação será concentrada no discurso intelectual das Ciências Humanas e Sociais, entre os anos 30 do século XX e a primeira década do XXI, direcionada a partir de uma abordagem na linha da História dos Conceitos (Begriffsgeschichte), corrente teórico-metodológica que possibilita o exame da tradição interpretativa formada ao redor desses termos, a forma como foram alterados semanticamente, a partir de reflexões teóricas ou com base em sua aplicação a casos concretos
