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
Determinantes do sucesso em processo eleitoral: um estudo empírico nas eleições de 2002 nas regiões nordeste e sul do brasil
Get PDFEste trabalho tem como propósito verificar se as diferenças regionais causam distintos resultados sobre o sucesso eleitoral. A hipótese levantada mostra que a composição do eleitorado é diferente em relação aos percentuais de eleitores que seguem convicções políticas, pessoais ou decidem seu voto esporadicamente, isso devido às características regionais. Assim, ao ser estimada a probabilidade de se eleger através do modelo econométrico Logit, evidenciou-se que o impacto do gasto em campanha eleitoral sobre a probabilidade de sucesso é maior para a região Nordeste, devido ao fato de terem uma maior parcela de eleitores voláteis. As variáveis explicativas utilizadas foram: doações declaradas junto ao TSE; Reeleição; Índice de concentração espacial do voto e Índice de Dispersão de Voto. Conclui-se também que, caso o financiamento de campanhas no Brasil venha a ser público, como se discute na Reforma Política, a forma de distribuição dos recursos deverá levar em consideração estas diferenças regionais, pois o impacto dos recursos de campanha sobre o eleitorado será completamente diferente de região para região.The purpose of this study is to verify if the regional differences cause distinct results through the electoral sucess. The raised hypothesis shows that the electorate composition is different when compared with percentual of voters who follow politics and personal convinctions or even sporadically decide their vote, this because of regional characteristics. After estimate the probability of being elect using the Econometric Logit Model, the results show the impact of spending on election campaign on the likelihood of success is greater for the Northeast region, owing to the fact they have more volatile electors. The explicative variables used were: donations declared together to the TSE; Reelection; index of Space concentration of the vote and index of vote dispersion. Finally, if the campaign finance became public as has been suggested by the Public Reform , the resourses distribution should be done considering these regional differences, because the campaign resourses impact on the electors will be completelly different from region to region
O processo de industrialização do Cariri Cearense na Década de 60: um relato sobre o projeto Asimow / The industrialization process of Cariri (Ceará-Brazil) in the 60's: a report on the Asimow project
Get PDFEste artigo trata-se de um relato do professor da Faculdade de Economia da Universidade Federal do Ceará, José Orcetti Azevedo de Castro Monteiro, que no início da sua carreira profissional, na década de 60, integrou a equipe do Projeto Morris Asimow. O projeto Asimow foi desenvolvido através de cooperação internacional no âmbito da Aliança para o Progresso entre Brasil e Estados Unidos. O artigo tem por objetivo fazer um levantamento bibliográfico sobre o tema e realizar uma entrevista narrativa com o referido professor, no intuito de cruzar informações da entrevista com a literatura, além de colher informações adicionais
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
