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
Enabling participatory planning for edible nature-based solutions
No full textDie partizipative Planung und damit die Einbeziehung verschiedener Interessengruppen hat in den letzten Jahrzehnten im städtischen Kontext an Bedeutung gewonnen. Die Teilhabe von Interessensgruppen birgt das Potenzial Machverhältnisse umzustrukturieren und Entscheidungsbefugnisse auf die lokale Bevölkerung zu übertragen. In der (Stadt-)Planung bietet die Partizipation einen Weg, um Projektergebnisse in einem oft sehr verwaltungsintensiven und komplexen Kontext zu verankern. Diese Forschungsarbeit geht der Frage nach, welche Strukturen, Maßnahmen und externe Faktoren eine partizipative Stadtplanung ermöglichen und wie die Bevölkerung zu ‘City Makers’ wird. Als Fallstudie dient der Planungsprozess von Essbaren Stadtlösungen, welche lebensmittelbezogene, Nature-based Solutions verwenden, um gesellschaftlichen Herausforderungen, im Zusammenhang mit Klimawandel und Bevölkerungswachstum, zu begegnen. Nach einer Analyse dieser Strukturen und Maßnahmen im Rahmen des Edible Cities Network Projekts zeigt diese Forschung, wie Projektstrukturen das Engagement beeinflussen und ‘weiche’ Aspekte der Beteiligung – wie Vertrauen und Beziehungen – vernachlässigt werden. Die COVID-19-Pandemie hat darüber hinaus das Vorhaben Partizipation stark beeinträchtigt. Diese Arbeit erörtert, wie eine solche Krise die partizipative Planung beeinflusst und welche Herausforderungen und Lösungen beim Übergang von analogen zu digitalen Alternativen auftreten können. Die Ergebnisse umfassen die Identifizierung neuer Fähigkeiten, aber auch neuer marginalisierter Gruppen. Die Beteiligung an Planungsprojekten wird reflektiert und kritisch hinterfragt, wer sich an partizipativen Planungsprozessen beteiligen kann. Diese Forschung schließt mit Anmerkungen zur Forschung in Projekten und reflektiert über die Unabhängigkeit und Transparenz von Forschung an sich. Die Ergebnisse sollen Anregungen für künftige partizipative Forschungsprojekte bereitstellen, und das Bewusstsein für Inklusivität erhöhen.In the last decades, participatory planning has gained momentum, particularly in urban areas integrating diverse stakeholders in decision-making processes. Moreover, stakeholder input in projects offers the po- tential for restructuring power relations by transferring decision-making power to local communities. In (urban) planning, participation provides a pathway for sustaining project outcomes in an often highly administrative and complex context. This research questions what enabling structures and measures for participatory urban planning are and how citizens – as key elements in changing and self-replicating urban systems – can become ‘city makers’. Edible City Solutions’ planning process, using food-related, nature-based solutions to address societal challenges related to climate change and population growth, serves as a case study. After reviewing the structures and measures in the Edible City Network project, this research shows how closed project structures influence ownership and how crucial ‘soft’ aspects of participation – such as trust and relationships – are often neglected. Furthermore, in the Edible Cities Networks project, participatory processes, often vulnerable to crises, were tremendously affected during the COVID-19 pandemic. This work offers insight into how such a crisis influences participatory planning and which challenges and solutions can occur when transitioning to digital alternatives. Findings include identifying new skills for participation as marginalized groups arise. Also reflected upon are unpublished results regarding engagement in planning projects, critically asking who can engage in participatory planning processes. This work closes with thoughts on conducting research in a project and the independence and transparency of research as such. The findings enrich future research projects, including stakeholder participation in urban planning, and hope to raise awareness about inclusiveness in participatory processes.submitted by Maximilian ManderscheidDissertation Universität für Bodenkultur Wien 2023Mit deutscher Zusammenfassun
