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
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
The Right Trousers - Fixperts project one hand operated fly
No full textThe Right Trousers (June 2014) - A working prototype for a one-hand operated trousers for John Cahill, a stroke survivor and wheelchair user developed under the framework of Fixperts (concept and format by Daniel Charny, From Now On). Through a series of meetings in John’s house, a series of prototypes were developed, to allow for the opening and closing of a men’s trousers using only one hand and while seated. All prototypes and final product are self made. The project was initiated and facilitated by the LBHF support worker Michael Hooker. The project was winner of the Helen Hamlyn Fixperts award 2014 output: trousers (image) - The project development was captured in a film by Henry Richards. output: film - online resource (images, link) - 3 lectures about the projects and Fixperts as a models followed: Sheffield Hallam University (Oct 2014) (output: lecture + workshop) Bath Spa University (Nov 2014) (output: lecture) EyeFocus event at Imperial College (Feb 2016) (output: lecture) - The Fixperts model was used as a part of the learning program: Plymouth university (B.Des.

Inflatables - workshop
No full textA series of workshops / events / installations using a technique (learned from Gabriel Klasmer) of quickly creating inflatable objects / spaces with simple materials (Polythene sheets, Mylar blankets and Packing Tape) and an office fan. The workshops and installations were used as part of my work on Journeymen as a teaching module inspired by and complementing personal practice. GID1 Journeymen - March 17 (done as a part of the Journeymen brief) A 2 day workshop with GID1 students learning the technique and exploring it in situ as a method of sketching in 3D and on an architectural scale. location: 1 North Terrace, South Kensington. Facilitated by SKE estate agents providing the space. GID SHOW17 (screening room, sketch space) Self work with some help from Imperial College Design Engineering students (students of Stephen Green). A small screening space for the GID2 graduating students’ project films. The space used for projecting films and also as a sketching board across the film walls. Location: Imperial College Atrium, Exhibition road. RCA+CSM Journeymen - Apr. 17 A 2 day workshop exploring the technique to create interventions on an architectural scale. GIDV students from Pratt School of Art working with students from CSM Richard Reynolds’ Applied Imagination course (MA). DP + GID + CSM Inflatable Cinema workshop (Dec. 17) A 2 day making workshop with students from DP, GID and CSM Applied Imagination learning the technique, designing and making an inflatable cinema for Applied Imagination graduating students films
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
