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
O efeito da pandemia na inclusão laboral de trabalhadores de baixa renda: uma investigação empírica: The Effect of the Pandemic on Labor Inclusion of Low-Income Workers: An Empirical Investigation
Full text linkO mercado de trabalho sofreu um forte impacto em 2020 devido à pandemia da Covid-19, resultando em interrupções nas cadeias de suprimentos e no fechamento temporário de empresas, o que levou ao aumento do desemprego, especialmente entre os trabalhadores de menor renda. Dado esse contexto, o presente estudo teve por objetivo analisar o impacto da pandemia no mercado de trabalho brasileiro, em termos de acesso a formalidade, focando nos trabalhadores de menor renda. Utilizando dados da PNAD Covid-19 de novembro de 2020 e aplicando o modelo logit com efeitos marginais, constatou-se que, de fato, esses trabalhadores foram os mais afetados em termos de acesso ao mercado de trabalho formal. A contaminação foi mais prevalente entre os trabalhadores de baixa renda, enquanto os sintomas da doença afetaram de forma geral, com maior incidência entre aqueles com renda inferior a um salário mínimo
Transparência e participação popular como ferramentas de contenção da corrupção, da ineficiência administrativa e da crise de legitimidade democrática do estado brasileiro
Full text link[POR] O objetivo geral desta investigação é atestar como a corrupção institucionalizada e a ineficiência administrativa contribuem de forma decisiva para o fortalecimento da crise de representatividade democrática do Estado brasileiro. Faz-se necessário compreender, em harmonia com a ordem constitucional de que todo o poder emana do povo, que o respeito aos princípios regentes da Administração Pública é essencial à superação desse inegável hiato que historicamente se formou entre representantes e representados. A adoção de escolhas responsáveis vinculadas ao direito fundamental à boa administração se mostra igualmente indispensável nessa trajetória de mudanças. E para que o Estado justifique sua razão de existir e cumpra o dever da satisfação das necessidades coletivas e das prestações elencadas pelo constituinte, verificou-se que prevenir e combater a corrupção é um caminho sem volta. Para tanto, como forma de buscar uma Administração Pública ética e eficiente, a transparência e a participação popular, conceitos indissociáveis, se apresentam como ferramentas indeclináveis em favor da sociedade. Neste particular, denota-se que as tecnologias da informação e da comunicação representam relevantes instrumentos em favor da massificação e otimização dos canais democráticos de participação do povo.
[EN] The main purpose of this analysis is to show how the underlying corruption and the administrative inefficiency are key to strengthening the crisis of Brazilian democracy. It is necessary to understand, in harmony with the constitutional order, that all power emanates from the people, and that compliance with the basic principles of the Public Administration are essential to overcome this undeniable gap that has historically been shaped between representatives and the people represented by them. The adoption of responsible choices arising out of the fundamental right of providing a reasonable Public Administration is equally fundamental for this flow of change. Moreover, for the State to justify its own existence and to fulfill its duty to satisfy collective needs and the benefits listed by the Constitution, preventing and fighting corruption is a path of no return. Therefore, aiming at seeking an ethical and efficient Public Administration, the inseparable concepts of transparency and popular participation are indisputable tools sheltering the society. In this regard, information tools and communication technologies represent relevant mechanisms towards the boost and optimization of democratic channels for the full participation of the people.
[ES] El objetivo general de esta investigación es atestiguar cómo la corrupción institucionalizada y la ineficiencia administrativa contribuyen decisivamente a fortalecer la crisis de representación democrática en el Estado brasileño. Es necesario entender, en armonía con el orden constitucional de que todo poder emana del pueblo, que el respeto a los principios rectores de la Administración Pública es fundamental para superar esta innegable brecha que históricamente se ha formado entre representantes y representados. La adopción de opciones responsables vinculadas al derecho fundamental a la buena administración es igualmente indispensable en esta trayectoria de cambio. Y para que el Estado justifique su razón de existir y cumpla con su deber de satisfacer las necesidades colectivas y los beneficios enumerados por la constituyente, se constató que prevenir y combatir la corrupción es un camino de no retorno. Por ello, como forma de buscar una Administración Pública ética y eficiente, la transparencia y la participación popular, conceptos inseparables, se presentan como herramientas indeclinables a favor de la sociedad. En este particular, se advierte que las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación representan instrumentos relevantes a favor de la masificación y optimización de los cauces democráticos para la participación del pueblo
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
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
