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
L'usage du droit comparé dans le raisonnement du juge : analyse en matière de droits fondamentaux au Canada et en Afrique du Sud
Get PDFL’établissement de textes de droits fondamentaux dans de nombreux pays du
monde offre un terrain élargi d’observation pour le juge constitutionnel national interprétant
ces droits. Pour donner vie à ces textes, il arrive que les juges nationaux s’intéressent à leur
mise en application dans d’autres États.
Cette étude portera dans un premier temps sur la façon dont ces juges recourent à la technique
comparative. Ainsi, l’utilisation de cette méthode dans le raisonnement du juge est souvent
utile afin de s’inspirer du travail que d’autres ont effectué avant lui.
Deux États qui se distinguent par le recours à la technique comparative dans l’interprétation
de leurs textes fondamentaux sont le Canada et l’Afrique du Sud. Les juges des hautes
juridictions de ces pays recourent de façon régulière au droit comparé, offrant ainsi un terreau
fertile d’analyse de l’utilité, mais aussi, des limites de cette technique.
L’utilisation du droit comparé dans le raisonnement du juge est donc souvent justifiée, mais
est-elle toujours légitime ? Au cours de cette étude, nous nous intéresserons plus en
profondeur aux différents aspects concernant l’utilisation de la technique comparative par le
juge. Ainsi, nous observerons quelle est l’utilité du recours à cette méthode, mais aussi les
dangers que peut susciter l’utilisation du droit étranger dans l’interprétation des textes
fondamentaux nationaux.Establishing fundamental rights texts over a broad diversity of countries offers the
national constitutional judge a full field of study to interpret these rights. To give life to the
text itself, it is common that national judges focus a lot on the methods applied in other states.
This study will primarily be centered around how these judges use the comparative technique.
Therefore, the use of this method in the judge's reasoning can often be seen as useful in order
to be inspired by the work of others that came before him.
Two states that stand out by the way they use the comparative method in their fundamental
rights interpretation are Canada and South Africa. These two countries higher courts judges
are using this method in a recurrent way, and thus providing a fertile ground for the analysis
of the pros and cons, utilities and limits of this technique as a whole.
The use of comparative law in the judge's reasoning is thus often useful, but is it always
legitimate? Over the course of this study, we will dig deeper to take a closer look at the way
judges are using the comparative method. Thus, we will note the utility as well as the dangers
of resorting to foreign law in the practice of interpretating national fundamental texts
