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
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
The implantation and implementation process of the National Program for Integration of Professional/Vocational Education with Basic Education in the Modality of Education of Youths and Adults (PROEJA) at the Federal Institute for Education, Science and Technology of Goiás (IFG), Goiânia Campus: contradictions, limits and perspectives.
No full textThis work is linked to the line of research entitled State, Policies and History Education of the Post-Graduation Program in Education of the Faculty Education of the Federal University of Goiás. It is a case study on the implantation and implementation process of the National Program for Integration of Professional/Vocational Education with Basic Education in the Modality of Education of Youths and Adults (PROEJA), from 2006 to 2010, at current Federal Institute of Goiás, Goiânia Campus. This work had as starting point: on one hand, the identification of the structural aspects of the State, of the Brazilian education and of the economic and political conjuncture which contextualized the direction of educational policies at the time of launch of that program and, on the other, the understanding that educational institutions are also constitutive and constituent parts of this structure and conjuncture. Contributions of Karl Marx, Antonio Gramsci, Florestan Fernandes, Octavio Ianni, Francisco de Oliveira, Luiz Filgueiras, Reinaldo Gonçalves, David Maciel, Otaiza Romanelli, José Willington Germano, Gaudencio Frigotto, Maria Ciavatta, Acácia Kuenzer, Domingos Leite Lima Filho, Dante Moura, Jacqueline Moll, Gilda Guimarães, Sonia Rummert, Jane Paiva, Maria Margarida Machado, Miguel Arroyo, Luiz Fernandes Dourado, Vitor Paro, Erasto Mendonca, among others, were sought in this work. In order to carry out the qualitative research, documents relating to educational policy and procedures for the creation of the PROEJA at Goiânia Campus were examined; questionnaires were applied to students and teachers; managers who somehow were involved in the implantation and implementation of the PROEJA at Goiânia Campus were interviewed; statements given by students, teachers and administrators during the meeting named PROEJA Dialogues, held on the Goiânia Campus in August 2010, were analyzed; and the dissertations linked to research groups that are part of the Edict PROEJA-Capes/Setec were also investigated. Findings reveal the contradictions in the process of implantation and implementation of the PROEJA program, thus constituting its limits and also the possibilities that the perspectives signal at Goiânia Campus.O presente trabalho vincula-se à linha de pesquisa intitulada Estado, Políticas e História da Educação do Programa de Pós-graduação da Faculdade de Educação da Universidade Federal de Goiás. É um estudo de caso sobre o processo de implantação e implementação do Programa Nacional de Integração da Educação Profissional com a Educação Básica na modalidade de Educação de Jovens e Adultos (PROEJA), no período de 2006 a 2010, no atual Instituto Federal de Goiás, Campus Goiânia. Este trabalho teve como ponto partida, de um lado, a identificação dos aspectos estruturantes do Estado e da educação brasileira e da conjuntura econômica e política que contextualizaram os rumos das políticas educacionais no momento de instituição do referido Programa; de outro, a compreensão de que as instituições educacionais são partes constitutivas e também constituintes desta estrutura e conjuntura. Buscaram-se as contribuições de Karl Marx, Antônio Gramsci, Florestan Fernandes, Otávio Ianni, Francisco de Oliveira, Luiz Filgueiras, Reinaldo Gonçalves, David Maciel, Otaíza Romanelli, José Willington Germano, Gaudêncio Frigotto, Maria Ciavatta, Acácia Kuenzer, Domingos Leite Lima Filho, Dante Moura, Jaqueline Moll, Gilda Guimarães, Sônia Rummert, Jane Paiva, Maria Margarida Machado, Miguel Arroyo, Luiz Fernandes Dourado, Vitor Paro, Erasto Mendonça, dentre outros. Para a realização da pesquisa, de cunho qualitativo, recorreu-se aos documentos relativos à política educacional e aos procedimentos de montagem do PROEJA no Campus Goiânia, à aplicação de questionários junto aos alunos e professores, à realização de entrevistas com gestores que de alguma forma estiveram envolvidos com a implantação e implementação do PROEJA no Campus Goiânia, à análise dos depoimentos dados por alunos professores e gestores durante o Encontro Diálogos Proeja realizado no Campus Goiânia, em agosto de 2010, e também às dissertações vinculadas aos grupos de pesquisas que fazem parte do edital PROEJA-Capes/Setec. As conclusões mostram as contradições no processo de implantação e implementação do Programa, constituindo assim seus limites e, também, as possibilidades que as perspectivas no Campus Goiânia apontam
The policy of youth and adult and professional education in Goias: gears developed with Proeja
No full textThis research investigates the implementation of the National Programme of Integration of Professional Education with Basic Education in the Mode of Education Youth and Adults (Proeja) in the state of Goiás. Has as goal the classic studies in the context of educational policy: the establishment of a federal program in state schools. Problematizes the tension among continuity and rupture developed from the tracks and illuminates the Proeja quest to unravel the meanings of this program for the state of Goias, especially highlighted by the struggle to ensure access to education as a social right noun. The methodological tools used to biographical and documentary analysis and semi-structured interviews with professionals involved in program implementation. The theoretical support that based the analysis of the object studied was historical and dialectical materialism, identifying the contradictory aspects of the proposition of a public policy in the context of economic materiality, focused on maintaining the lack of access to education for all. The analysis revealed a tension between establishment and implementation of the Programme. The regulatory and legal actions are completed, but the program is not done effectively, the process that engenders this determination, restores the questioning about the functionality of this program as a way of resolving conflicts and social inequalities. This functionality is the limit of the program itself, and outlines its defensive character against the fundamental contradiction of capital, which organizes our current system of social metabolism.Este trabalho investiga a implantação do Programa Nacional de Integração da Educação Profissional com a Educação Básica na Modalidade de Educação de Jovens e Adultos (Proeja) na rede estadual de Goiás. Possui como baliza o enfrentamento clássico no âmbito das políticas educacionais: a implantação de um programa federal na rede estadual de ensino. Problematiza as tensões entre ruptura e continuidade desenvolvidas a partir das trilhas que o Proeja ilumina e busca deslindar os sentidos desse programa para o estado de Goiás, mormente destacado pela luta para garantir o acesso à educação como um direito social substantivo. Utiliza como recursos metodológicos a análise bibliográfica e documental, bem como entrevistas semiestruturadas com profissionais envolvidos na implantação do programa. O suporte teórico que embasa a análise do objeto estudado é o materialismo histórico-dialético, com o esforço de identificar os aspectos contraditórios da proposição de uma política pública no âmbito de uma materialidade econômica, pautada pela manutenção do não acesso à educação para todos. A análise revelou uma tensão entre implantação e realização do programa. As ações normativas e legais são cumpridas, mas o programa não se realiza efetivamente. O processo que essa determinação engendra repõe a problematização sobre a funcionalidade do Proeja como uma das formas de resolução dos conflitos e das desigualdades sociais. Essa funcionalidade é o limite do próprio programa e demarca o seu caráter defensivo ante a contradição fundamental do capital, que organiza o nosso atual sistema de metabolismo social
