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
La renuncia temporal de los silos del saber, hacia la permeabilidad pluridisciplinar
Get PDFEsta obra didáctica es el resultado del trabajo conjunto entre profesores y estudiantes como resultado de dos estrategias didácticas que se propusieron, las cuales están explicadas en la obra pero que básicamente consisten en trabajos grupales (5 estudiantes por grupo de diversas disciplinas).
A) Diseñar una taxonomía (gráfico, herramienta visual) que enmarque aspectos relacionados al lenguaje, método y modelos de estudio de sus disciplinas. Dicha taxonomía constituye el punto de partida para resaltar, dentro del mismo ejercicio, puntos de encuentro entre áreas y demás información de interés.
B) Pasar de ensayos individuales a colectivos como resultado de la construcción con el profesorado sobre el tema vida y muerte a través de los lentes de el arte, la ciencia y las revelaciones partiendo de las interrogantes ¿Cómo podemos trabajar juntos aún pensando diferente, respetando las otras formas de pensar, con historias de vida diferentes, con construcciones de pensamiento diferentes y creencias diferentes?
Ambas estrategias trabajan de manera muy exhaustiva el tema de la interdisciplinariedad y permitieron al estudiantado: desarrollar micro combinaciones de modelos o esquemas globales que unifican enfoques dispares, insumos coordinados y colaborativos y marcos organizativos grupales, formación de una nueva comunidad de conocedores con un Inter lenguaje híbrido, una comprensión más amplia del problema o pregunta central y perspectivas modificadas e hipótesis revisadas.Esta obra didáctica enmarca dos estrategias didácticas que realicé en el curso B-0821, Biología y sus plasticidad impartido en la escuela de Biología de la Universidad de Costa Rica. El programa semestral, brindó herramientas a los estudiantes para potenciar el trabajo interdisciplinario y también permitió conocer diversos marcos teórico-prácticos, investigaciones e historias de vida que muestran a la biología como una disciplina flexible y dinámica en sus alcances y relacionada con otras áreas del conocimiento y la sociedad. Algo interesante y peculiar del curso es que se creó para estudiantes de cualquier carrera. Durante el semestre, se presentaron temáticas relacionadas con la biología que permiten analizar dicha disciplina dentro de un espacio interdisciplinario. Se avanzó hacia nuevas formas de organización mediante una audiencia y profesorado pluridisciplinario, con la intención de producir impacto en el estudiantado y comunicarles diversas formas en que nuestra especie percibe el entorno. Por un lado, se fijó la meta de trascender los límites formales de las disciplinas. Por otro lado, se quisieron formar colectivos estables para intercambiar saberes a largo plazo, en dos ejercicios o estrategias didácticas fuera de las fronteras de cada una de las disciplinas involucradas. Al mismo tiempo, se fomentó desplegar una mirada global, así como un conocimiento científico que considere el mundo como una unidad diversa.UCR::Vicerrectoría de Docencia::Ciencias Básicas::Facultad de Ciencias::Escuela de Biologí
