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
People management practices in public institutions of higher education: a proposal to UDESC
No full textThis paper demonstrates the importance of human resource practices to improve the quality of services offered by public universities. For this, we performed a historical review of the literature about public administration, focusing on the concepts and approaches to reforms and administrative changes over the past decades have occurred in the country, how the institutions of higher learning were structured during this period of change and how the evolution of human resource management in these contexts. To this end, we performed a case study at the State University of Santa Catarina, elucidating how human resource practices (aggregation, allocation, compensation, development and monitoring) are operationalized. Subsequently, it was verified that the practices of allocation and development are still constraining factors for an efficient and dynamic performance of the Coordinator of Human Resources UDESC. Thus, in order to contribute to a survey of innovative application and development practices in higher education institutions, performing a review of the activities developed by the Human Resources UDESC, was elaborated the field research involving other public
HEIs through a questionnaire with the purpose of characterize and knowing how these HEIs work processes in the Human Resources sector, aiming at the analysis of the applicability and adherence of innovative practices to reality in the area on UDESC. The study concluded that some of the difficulties faced by UDESC in the implementation of people management was founded in HEIs surveyed. However, it was identified that there are effective practices applied in these HEIs that can be inserted as structured and standardized human resources UDESC activities. For that, we suggest some changes in the organizational, functional and physical structure of CRH UDESC to enable changes in their activities considered essential to reformulate this area at the University.O presente trabalho visa demonstrar a importância de
práticas de recursos humanos para a melhoria da
qualidade dos serviços oferecidos pelas universidades
públicas. Para isso, efetuou-se um levantamento
histórico na literatura sobre administração pública,
focando os conceitos e abordagens acerca das reformas
e mudanças administrativas ocorridas no país ao longo
das últimas décadas, como as instituições de ensino
superior se estruturaram no decorrer deste período de
mudanças, bem como a evolução da gestão de recursos
humanos nestes contextos. Foi realizado um estudo de
caso na Universidade do Estado de Santa Catarina,
elucidando como as práticas de recursos humanos
(agregação, alocação, remuneração, desenvolvimento e
acompanhamento) são operacionalizadas.
Posteriormente, verificou-se que as práticas de alocação
e desenvolvimento ainda são fatores restritivos a uma
atuação eficiente e dinâmica da Coordenadoria de
Recursos Humanos da UDESC. Dessa forma, a fim de
contribuir para um levantamento de práticas inovadoras
de aplicação e desenvolvimento em Instituições de
Ensino Superior, realizou-se uma revisão das atividades desenvolvidas pela área de Recursos Humanos da UDESC, elaborando, na sequência, a pesquisa de campo envolvendo outras IES públicas através da aplicação de questionário com o objetivo de caracterizar e conhecer como essas instituições de ensino superior trabalham seus processos no setor de Recursos Humanos, visando a aplicabilidade e aderência de práticas inovadoras à realidade da área na UDESC. O estudo permitiu concluir que algumas das dificuldades enfrentadas pela UDESC na execução da gestão de pessoas são encontradas nas IES pesquisadas. Porém, foi possível identificar que existem práticas eficazes aplicadas nessas IES que podem ser inseridas como atividades estruturadas e padronizadas nos recursos humanos da UDESC. Para isso, sugere-se algumas alterações na estrutura organizacional, funcional e física da CRH da UDESC com vistas a mudanças em atividades consideradas essenciais para a reformulação desta área na Universidade.Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superio
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
