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
Creación de una bolsa de empleo para mujeres lactantes en la ciudad de Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia
Get PDFThis research arises from the need to create a safe and reliable platform where women who are breastfeeding and need to work can find a space (institution or company) that is committed to providing them with an adequate and beneficial environment according to their condition; this with the promoting aim efficiency at work and compliance with the role of mothers. Currently, many lactating women face various obstacles that greatly reduce their chances of successfully breastfeeding in the workplace. Returning to work is one of the main reasons mothers stop breastfeeding. Therefore, it is urgent to make all the actors who directly or indirectly affect this process aware of the importance of breastfeeding. Supporting and promoting breastfeeding in the workplace has been found to increase work efficiency and productivity, which in turn reduces absenteeism since, among other things, women who breastfeed tend to miss less work because their babies are less sick. Through several surveys carried out on a group of women in the breastfeeding stage, it was possible to determine that they believed they were physically and mentally capable of doing their job while breastfeeding. However, the institutions or companies, many of them, do not respect the rights that breastfeeding women have when offering work. To achieve the stated objective, various traditional research methods are developed, which help to find a feasible way to solve the identified problem since, in reality, the laws and regulations are beneficial; breastfeeding does exist, but what is missing is its achievement and application.Esta investigación surge de la necesidad de crear una plataforma segura y confiable, donde las mujeres que se encuentran en etapa de lactancia y tengan necesidad de trabajar, puedan encontrar un espacio (institución o empresa) que se comprometa a brindarles un ambiente adecuado y beneficioso acorde a su condición, esto con el objetivo de promover la eficiencia en el trabajo y el cumplimiento con el rol de madres. Actualmente, muchas mujeres en etapa de lactancia enfrentan varios obstáculos que reducen en gran medida sus posibilidades de amamantar con éxito en el lugar de trabajo, es decir, el retorno al trabajo es una de las principales razones por las que las madres dejan de amamantar. Mediante varias encuestas realizadas a un grupo de mujeres en etapa de lactancia materna, se pudo determinar que, creían estar física y mentalmente capacitadas para realizar su trabajo mientras daban de lactar. Sin embargo, las instituciones o empresas, muchas de ellas, no respetan los derechos que tienen las mujeres en etapa de lactancia al momento de ofrecer trabajo. Para lograr el objetivo planteado, se realizó un estudio descriptivo con propuesta de factibilidad para solucionar el problema identificado, basado en las leyes y reglamentos que demuestran que falta su consecución y aplicación en cuanto a la lactancia materna
