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
Autistic youths’ experiences with emergency remote learning during COVID-19: a perspective on well-being
Get PDFSchool closures due to the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a shift to emergency remote
learning, particularly affecting autistic students who experienced disruptions to school-based
supports and social interactions. This mixed-methods study explored the experiences and
perceptions of autistic youths and their mothers of emergency remote learning during the first
several months of the COVID-19 pandemic (March to June 2020), with a focus on well-being.
Data was gathered from nine autistic youth (ages 10 to 17), alongside their mothers, through
questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. Autistic youths and their mothers reported that
remote schooling came with a spectrum of benefits and challenges. The youths’ experiences of
remote schooling are described through three common themes: (1) social, (2) emotional, and (3)
academic. In considering the interactions between the youth and their context, their challenges of
remote schooling seemed to be influenced by the anxiety levels, severity of social responsiveness
restrictions, and their comfort with technology. Limited social opportunities, teaching supports,
and classroom structure seemed to negatively impact the youths’ well-being and supportive
relationships. The use of technology did not substitute in-person social interactions during
remote schooling, but did offer youths an alternative approach for connecting with others.
Professionals who work with autistic youths may benefit from understanding their remote
schooling experiences using a thriving framework to better support their social, emotional, and
educational needs during the recovery from the pandemic and beyond.This research was supported by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) through a Graduate Scholarship Master’s award
Fostering romantic functioning in autistic adolescents through ToM interventions
Get PDFWhile autistic individuals report desiring romantic relationships, many report high levels of anxiety regarding the initiation of and engagement in romantic relationships, as well as difficulty understanding the characteristics of a healthy romantic relationship and having the skills to be involved in one. While neurotypical adolescents often develop romantic functioning through peer learning, social observation, and information provided by parents, autistic adolescents may not be given similar opportunities. As a type of social skill training, Theory of Mind based interventions may provide the type of social skills training capable of facilitating the development of social cognition, communication, and emotional skills through storytelling, role-play, narrative training, sociodramatic play, and deceptive experiences. This project is an educational resource for practitioners, teachers, and parents, and others who wish to support the development of romantic functioning of autistic individuals
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
