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
‘VEM SA ATT POLITIK INTE KAN VARA KUL?’ En kvantitativ innehållsanalys om frekvensen av politainment hos politiska ungdomsförbund på TikTok år 2023 respektive år 2024
No full textThe political landscape is constantly changing and influenced by outside forces. The strong
connection to the traditional media has evolved to include a new important part, social media.
A good way for the politics to utilize social media is through their youth associations, whose
main purpose is to engage young people and spark their interest in politics.
Due to the increasing influence of social media, the politicians, parties and various actors
have to adapt to its demands, to be able to gain visibility on these platforms. One way to
adapt is to become more entertainment driven, because these platforms are a safespace where
people find time to relax and have a good time. With a growing emphasis on simplified,
engaging and more fun political massages, political communication has changed its form.
This phenomenon is referred to as “politainment” and encapsulates the merging of politics
and entertainment.
The purpose of this study is to examine and measure the frequency of politainment in
Swedish political youth associations political communications. This is achieved by measuring
entertaining content in the publications on the social media app TikTok, from the two largest
political parties youth associations, Sveriges Socialdemokratiska Ungdomsförbund (SSU)
and Moderata ungdomsförbundet (MUF).
By analyzing publications from two different years, the EU election year 2024 and the non
EU election year 2023, this study intends to measure and compare the occurrence of
politainment. To detect if the entertaining elements in the youth associations political
communication increase or decrease depending on social circumstances, as an election. Our
three research questions are following;
1. How often do youth associations use entertainment in their publications in connection
with the non EU election year 2023 versus the EU election year 2024?
2. How often do youth associations use political messages in their publications in
connection with a non EU election year 2023 versus the EU election year 2024?
3. How often do youth associations use entertainment in their political messages in
connection with the non EU election 2023 versus the EU election year 2024?
To measure the frequency of politainment, a quantitative content analysis has been
conducted. The TikToks, that refers to a publication on the platform, has been analysed by
coding occurrences of various entertainment aspects based on TikToks affordances. These
aspects include music, sound, dance, mockery, challenge, filter, visual effects and vlog. The
TikToks were also coded to determine if they were political content. The analysis units that
were coded amounted to a total of 484 units.
The results of the study concludes that there is indeed a frequent use of the combination of
entertainment and politics. When the parties communicate political messages, they also often
use an entertaining aspect, such as music or a visual effect. However not to the extent we
thought, since it turned out that the youth parties did not take advantage of all the entertaining
possibilities available on the platform. Of the eight variables that could be coded, the average affordance used was around 1.5 in both years, with a slight increase observed in the
non-election year 2023.
The results also show that the youth associations show a more serious side of themselves and
publish more political based content, during the election year. More entertaining content,
without political messages occured to a greater extent during the non EU election year 2023.
However, as social media continuously grows in power we do believe the phenomenon of
politainment has only just begun to develop and it will be interesting to follow the evolution
in future studies

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
