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
La Evaluación continua y la autoevaluación en el marco de la enseñanza de la programación orientada a objetos
La implantación del crédito ECTS nos lleva a adoptar
un enfoque de evaluación orientado al proceso
basado, fundamentalmente, en la evaluación continua.
En dicho proceso los estudiantes reciben refuerzo
constante sobre la corrección de las tareas que
llevan a cabo. Como acompañamiento a esta técnica
se plantea el desarrollo de técnicas de autoevaluación,
que permiten a los alumnos participar o conocer
de antemano la evaluación de sus trabajos. En
este trabajo se comentan las experiencias sobre autoevaluación
y evaluación continua llevadas a cabo
en la asignatura de Programación Orientada a Objetos,
tanto en el ámbito de la evaluación de la teoría
(a través de tests o talleres de autoevaluación) como
en el de la práctica (a través del uso de foros o la autocorrección
de prácticas a través de tests de unidad
y herramientas de cobertura).Peer Reviewe
SHIVA : un sistema heurístico e integrado para la validación de sistemas inteligentes
[Resumen] En esta tesis se aborda la construcción de una herramienta
de validación de sistemas expertos. Tras unos primeros
capítulos en los que se introducen las nociones necesarias
de verificación y validación de sistemas expertos, se hace
una revisión de muchos métodos estadísticos aplicables a
tal fin. Como consecuencia de todo ello se presenta la
metodología propuesta para la validación de sistemas expertos.
Fruto de esta metodología surge la herramienta SHIVA
cuyas características y funcionamiento práctico se exponen en
dos de los últimos capítulos. La tesis finaliza con un capítulo
de discusión, un apéndice con las reglas de aprendizaje de SHIVA
y otro con los artículos publicados por el doctorando en relación
con la Tesis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
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
