    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

    Variations on the Author

    “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

    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

    O presente relatório expõe a trajetória de projetos realizados por Michelle Fernandes Runge de criação e renovação três sites das empresas do grupo JAZZY para a obtenção do grau de mestre no curso de Design Management na universidade IADE. O trabalho na empresa iniciou-se em Abril de 2019 com o inicio do primeiro projeto em Setembro de 2019 com fim em agosto de 2020. Durante o desenvolvimento do projeto, a aluna teve a oportunidade de trabalhar na prática diversos dos conhecimentos adquiridos durante o mestrado no IADE, estudos em paralelo e informações anteriores adquiridas em cursos externos de Web design, Marketing Digital e graduação universitária em Comunicação Visual. O objetivo destes projetos era de criar novos sites para algumas das empresas e eventos do grupo, que solucionassem os diversos problemas de navegação, informação e marcar maior presença nos mecanismos de busca. Como todo grande projeto, novas complicações e necessidades surgiram fazendo os sites crescerem e, também, surgindo necessidades de criação de site e sistema para evento e uma escola digital, necessidade surgida durante a pandemia COVID-19 em março 2020. No geral, o caminho para chegar aos resultados finais era de encontrar uma conexão entre o design e a Dança e o Fitness, áreas core do grupo, buscar formas de valorizar estas áreas e torná-las capazes de criar laços emocionais fortes entre o público consumidor e o business da empresa. Serão analisados aspectos visuais e de informação, em seguida, traçar estratégias utilizando User Experience, Design Thinking, Emotional Design e User Centered Design para alcançar a fidelidade do cliente pela facilidade de navegação, busca de informações, estabelecer conexões emocionais, agregando valor aos produtos da JAZZY.This report sets out the trajectory of projects carried out by Michelle Fernandes Runge to create and renovate 3 sites of the JAZZY group companies to obtain a master's degree in the Design Management course at IADE University. The work started in April 2019 with the start of the first project in September 2019 and ended in August 2020. During the development of the project, the student had the opportunity to work in practice several of the knowledge acquired during the master's degree at IADE, parallel studies and previous information acquired in external courses in Web Design, Digital Marketing and university degree in Visual Communication. The purpose of these projects was to create new websites for some of the group's companies and events, which would solve the various navigation, information problems and have a greater presence in the search engines. Like any major project, new complications and needs came across making the websites grow and, also, there were needs to create a website and system for an event and a digital school, a need that emerged during the COVID-19 pandemia in March 2020. In general, the way to reach the final results was to find a connection between design and Dance and Fitness, core areas of the group, to seek ways to value these areas and make them capable of creating strong emotional bonds between the consuming public and the company's business. Visual and informational aspects will then be analyzed, and strategies will be developed using User Experience, Design Thinking, Emotional Design and User Centered Design to achieve customer loyalty through ease of navigation, search for information, establishing emotional connections, adding value to the products of JAZZY

    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
