    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

    Full text link
    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

    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

    Cilj je diplomskoga rada Pjesma Eurovizije 2023. na društvenim mrežama - osobitosti digitalne komunikacije televizijskog spektakla istražiti ulogu i značaj digitalne komunikacije televizijskoga spektakla Pjesme Eurovizije 2023. na društvenim mrežama. Kroz analizu sadržaja i anketni upitnik, cilj je bio razumjeti kako upravljanje društvenim mrežama Eurovizije doprinosi formiranju stavova gledatelja ovoga popularnoga glazbenoga natjecanja. Rad započinje povijesnim pregledom razvoja televizije te njezinog utjecaja do danas, s naglaskom na glazbene spektakle i specifičnosti Eurovizije. Nadalje, rad analizira kako se Eurovizija kao televizijski spektakl predstavlja na društvenim mrežama i kako ta komunikacija utječe na mišljenje i angažman ciljanih javnosti, odnosno publike. Istraživački dio rada fokusira se na analizu sadržaja službenih profila Pjesme Eurovizije na digitalnim platformama i to profile na društvenim mrežama Facebook, Instagram, Twitter i TikTok. Analizirani su različiti aspekti komunikacije, uključujući vrste i oblik objava, stupanj interaktivnosti publike, te količina multimedijalnih sadržaja. Anketni upitnik je proveden kako bi se dobili uvidi u stavove i mišljenja korisnika društvenih mreža u kontekstu praćenja Eurovizije. Rezultati istraživanja pokazali su da društvene mreže igraju ključnu ulogu u promociji i održavanju interesa za Euroviziju. Publika koristi društvene mreže ne samo za informiranje o događaju, već i za interakciju s drugim gledateljima te izražavanje svojih mišljenja i stavova. Digitalna komunikacija omogućuje dublje uključivanje publike, stvarajući osjećaj zajedništva i zajedničkoga doživljaja događaja. Zaključno, rad ističe važnost digitalne strategije u organizaciji velikih televizijskih događaja poput Eurovizije. Preporučuje se daljnje istraživanje kako bi se razumjeli dublji efekti digitalne komunikacije na televizijske spektakle i kako bi se optimizirala interakcija s publikom u budućnosti.The aim of this thesis, "Eurovision Song Contest 2023 on Social Media - Features of Digital Communication of a Television Spectacle," is to investigate the role and significance of digital communication of the Eurovision Song Contest 2023 television spectacle on social media. Through content analysis and a survey questionnaire, the goal was to understand how Eurovision's social media management contributes to shaping the opinions of viewers of this popular music competition. The thesis begins with an overview of the history and development of television and its impact up to the present day, with an emphasis on music spectacles and the specifics of Eurovision. Furthermore, the paper analyzes how Eurovision, as a television spectacle, is presented on social media and how this communication influences the opinions and engagement of target audiences, specifically viewers. The research part of the paper focuses on content analysis of the official profiles of the Eurovision Song Contest on digital platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok. Various aspects of communication were analyzed, including the types and forms of posts, the level of audience interactivity, and the amount of multimedia content. A survey questionnaire was conducted to gain insights into the attitudes and opinions of social media users in the context of following Eurovision. The research results showed that social media plays a key role in promoting and maintaining interest in Eurovision. The audience uses social media not only to get information about the event but also to interact with other viewers and express their opinions and attitudes. Digital communication enables deeper audience engagement, creating a sense of community and a shared experience of the event. In conclusion, the thesis highlights the importance of a digital strategy in organizing large television events like Eurovision. Further research is recommended to understand the deeper effects of digital communication on television spectacles and to optimize interaction with the audience in the future

    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
