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
Die ostdeutsch-sowjetischen Wirtschaftsbeziehungen 1951-1967. Eine Dokumentation
No full text"Wenn Sie Ihre Wirtschaft auf Vordermann gebracht haben, dann kann man die Mauer wieder aufmachen", erklärte Nikita S. Chruschtschow gegenüber Walter Ulbricht am 26. Februar 1962. Der Mauerbau war letztlich auch eine Absage an den bis dahin offen ausgetragenen Wettstreit zwischen Ost und West über das bessere Wirtschaftssystem. Der Magnettheorie Kurt Schumachers und Konrad Adenauers hatte Otto Grotewohl eine ostdeutsche Variante entgegengesetzt, die von der Überlegenheit der Planwirtschaft in der DDR gegenüber der sozialen Marktwirtschaft in der Bundesrepublik ausging. Doch das auf dem V. Parteitag der SED proklamierte Ziel, die Bundesrepublik konsumpolitisch einzuholen, scheiterte – obwohl sich die Sowjetunion unter Chruschtschow sehr darum bemüht hatte, die DDR zum "Schaufenster" des Sozialismus herauszuputzen. Die wechselvolle und spannungsreiche Geschichte der ostdeutsch-sowjetischen Wirtschaftsbeziehungen in den 1950er und 1960er Jahren wird hier erstmals durch zentrale Dokumente aus Moskauer Archiven anschaulich gemacht
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
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

11/2002: The higher education policy of the SED as an aspect of the relationship between science and politics in the years 1945-1949
No full textIm Rahmen der bislang geführten Untersuchungen zur Hochschulpolitik der SED dominierten Darstellungen, die den seit 1947 bewusst inszenierten Verdrängungsprozess detailliert beschrieben, in dessen Folge zahlreiche Professoren vor allem geisteswissenschaftlicher Fakultäten mit Berufsverbot belegt oder zwangsemeritiert wurden. Es handelte sich dabei überwiegend um Wissenschaftler, die während der in den Jahren von 1945 bis 1947 vollzogenen personellen Entnazifizierung als politisch unbelastet galten, seit 1948 aber einer ideologischen Neuformierung der Geisteswissenschaften im Wege standen. Hinzu kamen diejenigen Professoren, die in einer Atmosphäre ideologischer Gängelung, Denunziation und Repression von sich aus die Konsequenzen zogen und den ostdeutschen Universitäten und Hochschulen den Rücken kehrten. Die weit über die Entnazifizierung und Verdrängung nicht anpassungsbereiter Gelehrter hinausgehenden personellen und institutionellen Brüche sollen als Aspekt des Verhältnisses zwischen Wissenschaft und Politik erörtert werden. Hierbei steht die Frage im Mittelpunkt, auf welche Weise und in welche Richtung in dieser frühen Phase der Wissenschafts- und Lehrbetrieb an den Universitäten und Hochschulen der sowjetischen Besatzungszone auf der personellen und institutionellen Ebene gesteuert, politisiert und ideologisiert wurde.In the course of the investigations carried out to date into the SED's higher education policy, the dominant feature was a detailed description of the process of repression deliberately staged since 1947, as a result of which numerous professors, especially in humanities faculties, were banned from their professions or forced to take a semester off. Most of these were academics who were considered politically unencumbered during the denazification of personnel between 1945 and 1947, but who had stood in the way of an ideological reformation of the humanities since 1948. In addition, there were those professors who, in an atmosphere of ideological coercion, denunciation and repression, drew the consequences of their own accord and turned their backs on East German universities and colleges. The personnel and institutional ruptures, which went far beyond denazification and the displacement of scholars who were not willing to adapt, will be discussed as an aspect of the relationship between science and politics. The central question here is how and in which direction the scientific and teaching activities at the universities and colleges in the Soviet occupation zone were steered, politicized, and ideologized at the personnel and institutional levels in this early phase
