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
Leçons apprises sur la recherche collaborative et les services de support à l'innovation dans le cadre du projet SERVInnov
No full textCette vidéo présente les leçons apprises dans le cadre du projet LEAP-AGRI SERVInnov (2018-2022) qui a été coordonné par le Centre de coopération internationale en recherche agronomique pour le développement (CIRAD) et a impliqué 09 partenaires et 01 partenaire associé, issus de 5 pays (France, Allemagne, Burkina-Faso, Cameroun et Madagascar). Ce partenariat a inclus à la fois des chercheurs et des praticiens de l'accompagnement de l'innovation agricole issus de l'Union Européen et de l'Union Africaine. Il a permis de poser les bases d'une recherche collaborative et a généré des apprentissages tant internes qu'externes au projet. Le projet SERVInnov (SERVices de support à l'Innovation pour le développement des innovations favorables à la production alimentaire durable, l'amélioration du bien-être des populations rurales et la réduction des dégradations de l'environnement et de ces ressources) avait pour objectif de fournir des preuves qu'une combinaison efficace de services support à l'innovation (SSI) renforce les innovations agricoles et agroalimentaires responsables et inclusives. Ce projet a été financé par l'Agence française de Développement (AFD), l'Agence de gestion de projet du Centre aérospatial allemand (DLR-PT), Le Fonds National de la Recherche et de l'Innovation pour le Développement Burkinabé (FONRID) et le Ministère de la Recherche Scientifique et de l'Innovation camerounais. En se basant sur les perspectives structurelles, fonctionnelles et processuelles du cadre des systèmes d'innovation agricole, SERVInnov a posé les bases d'une recherche innovante sur le rôle des services de support à l'innovation (parmi lesquels le partage des connaissances, le soutien marketing, la mise en réseau, le soutien institutionnel) dans l'accompagnement des processus d'innovation agricole sur le continent Africain
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
L’évaluation de la gouvernance territoriale: enjeux et propositions méthodologiques
No full textNational audienceFace à l’importance croissante des dispositifs de gouvernance multi-acteurs et multi-niveaux, cette contribution se propose de rendre compte des types et des conditions d’évaluation de ces dispositifs. Les auteurs proposent une revue des recherches récentes sur les modalités d’évaluation de la gouvernance, qui témoigne de la faiblesse des travaux sur les effets de la gouvernance territoriale tant en termes d’efficacité que d’impact sur la démocratie et « l’empowerment » des participants. Il s’agit ensuite de s’interroger sur la construction d’un cadre d’évaluation approprié aux dispositifs de gouvernance territoriale en montrant que par ses propriétés d’apprentissage, l’évaluation participative constitue non seulement un outil d’évaluation mais qu’elle joue aussi un rôle important pour le renforcement des effets démocratiques des systèmes de gouvernance territoriale
