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
Intersection of spirituality/religion on the adolescents’ sexual behavior
Get PDFEste artículo revela los hallazgos de un estudio exploratorio con un diseño no experimental de tipo transversal correlacional que examina la influencia de la espiritualidad y la religión en las conductas sexuales de los/as adolescentes puertorriqueños/as. Se desarrolló el Instrumento para Evaluar la Influencia de la Religiosidad en las Conductas Sexuales: Versión Lourdes Morales Alejandro (IEIRCS: VLMA), cuyo contenido fue evaluado por nueve expertos en trabajo social, religión/espiritualidad y construcción de pruebas. Los análisis cuantitativos se efectuaron utilizando un nivel alfa de.05. El análisis psicométrico fue conducido con rotación Varimax, resultando un instrumento con 21 reactivos y cinco componentes. La validez de contenido alcanzó un Alfa Cronbach de.848. Fue administrado a 251 participantes, de 15 a 18 años, en siete escuelas públicas puertorriqueñas de la Región Metropolitana de San Juan. Todos seleccionados por disponibilidad, con el consentimiento de sus padres. Los hallazgos respaldan el rol de la religión como factor proscriptor e inhibidor de las relaciones sexuales premaritales. Se encontraron diferencias estadísticamente significativas (p<.05) entre católicos y protestantes/evangélicos en cuanto a la influencia de la religión en sus conductas sexuales. Los/as protestantes parecen ser más conservadores respecto a involucrarse en relaciones sexuales prematrimoniales. Se observó que, a pesar del compromiso de ambos grupos con sus creencias religiosas, este es insuficiente para impedirles involucrarse en algún tipo de actividad sexual. Este estudio contribuye a la producción de conocimiento sobre el tema a través de un instrumento validado y fomenta su integración en la práctica profesional del trabajo social.This article reveals the findings of an exploratory study with a correlational non-experimental cross-sectional design to examine the influence of spirituality and religion on the sexual behaviors of Puerto Rican adolescents. An instrument was developed to assess the Influence of Religiosity on Sexual Behaviors; Version Lourdes Morales Alejandro (IEIRCS: VLMA). Nine experts in social work, religion/spirituality and test construction, assessed the content. All quantitative analysis of the instrument was done using an alpha of 0.05. Psychometric analysis with Varimax rotation was performed, leaving the instrument with 21 items and five components. The content validity reached a Cronbach Alpha of.848. The instrument was administered to 251 participants, 15 to 18 years old, in seven public schools in the metropolitan area of San Juan, Puerto Rico. The participants were selected by availability, with the consent of their parents. The results of the study support the role of religion as a proscriptive factor and inhibitor of sexual intercourse before marriage. Statistically significant differences (p <.05) between Catholics and Protestants/Evangelicals, regarding the influence of religion on their sexual behaviors, were found. Protestants seem to be more conservative about engaging in sex before marriage. It was noted that, despite the commitment of both groups to their religious beliefs, this is not enough to prevent them from getting involved in any sexual activity. This study contributes to the production of knowledge on the subject through a validated instrument and promotes its integration into the professional social work practice.La investigadora agradece el apoyo económico del Decanato de Estudios Graduados e Investigación de la Universidad de Puerto Rico en la realización de este estudio
