    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    Research Objective: the main objective in this article is to identify new variables that can improve a Proposed Integrative Model (PIM) for ChatGPT adoption. PIM, in turn, is based on three consolidated theories: TAM (Technology Acceptance Model), DIT (Diffusion of Innovation Theory) and TCMD (Theory of Cognitive Moral Development). Methodology/Approach: the approach in this study is qualitative, with interviews from experts who use ChatGPT in their areas, including three journalists, two technology professionals and three teachers. The interview guide involved the three theories. Textual data is analyzed with AtlasTi. software. Originality/Relevance: the research address doubts and fears about ChatGPT, an emerging technology highlighted in several fields, including Education. The results describe and interpret several influences (for example: psychological, social and technological) on the use of ChatGPT, in a nation (Brazil) with one of the largest populations in the world. Main Results: we identified 16 new variables potentially influential in the use of ChatGPT: accessibility, access to connectivity, trust in technology, creativity, entertainment, expectations, previous experience, feedback and continuous improvement, perceived innovation, integration with existing systems, time saving, customization, reduction workload, perceived risk, satisfaction and safety. Three aspects emerged around morality: intrinsic relationship between morality and ChatGPT: (i) attributing responsibility to the company OpenAI; (ii) intimate nature, intrinsic and individual characteristic of morality as an independent element of any technology; (iii) practice of reproducing content, historically considered illegal, which does not represent anything new from a legal point of view, regardless the technological era. Theoretical/Methodological Contributions: the identified variables not only broaden but also improve the general understanding of ChatGPT adoption.Objetivo de la Investigación: identificar nuevas variables que puedan mejorar un Modelo Integrativo Propuesto (PIM) para la adopción del Chat GPT. El PIM, a su vez, se basa en tres teorías consolidadas: TAM, DIT y TCMD.

Los resultados describen e interpretan diversas influencias (psicológicas, sociales y tecnológicas) en el uso del ChatGPT, en una nación (Brasil) con una de las mayores poblaciones del mundo. Principales Resultados: se identificaron 16 nuevas variables potencialmente influyentes en el uso del ChatGPT: accesibilidad, acceso a la conectividad, confianza en la tecnología, creatividad, entretenimiento, expectativas, experiencia previa, retroalimentación y mejora continua, percepción de innovación, integración con sistemas existentes, optimización del tiempo, personalización, reducción de la carga de trabajo, percepción de riesgo, satisfacción y seguridad. Surgieron tres aspectos en torno a la moralidad: la relación intrínseca de la moralidad con el ChatGPT, asignando responsabilidad a la empresa OpenAI; la naturaleza íntima, característica intrínseca e individual de la moralidad como un elemento independiente de cualquier tecnología; la práctica de la reproducción de contenido, históricamente considerada ilegal, que no representa una novedad desde el punto de vista legal, independientemente de la era tecnológica. Contribuciones Teóricas/Metodológicas: las variables identificadas no solo amplían, sino que también mejoran la comprensión de la adopción del ChatGPT.Objetivo da pesquisa: identificar novas variáveis que possam aprimorar um Modelo Integrativo Proposto (MIP) de adoção do Chat GPT.

Principais resultados: identificadas 16 novas variáveis potencialmente influentes no uso do ChatGPT: acessibilidade, acesso à conectividade, confiança na tecnologia, criatividade, entretenimento, expectativas, experiência prévia, feedback e melhoria contínua, inovação percebida, integração com sistemas existentes, otimização do tempo, personalização, redução da carga de trabalho, risco percebido, satisfação e segurança.

    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 link
    We 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 link
    We 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

    We 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
