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
Staatsvorstellung, Mentalität und ökonomisches Denken des deutschen Wirtschaftsbürgertums im 19. Jahrhundert : am Beispiel des Rheinisch-Westfälischen (Handels- und) Gewerbevereins
No full textDer Rheinisch - Westfälische (Handels- und) Gewerbeverein wurde im Winter
1847/48 gegründet und lässt sich als Interessenverband von Industrieunternehmern
aus den Provinzen Rheinland und Westfalen charakterisieren.
Anhand der Organisationsgeschichte des Vereins und durch das Aufzeigen der
Interessen, die seine Mitglieder in der Öffentlichkeit zu popularisieren und in der
Politik durchzusetzen versuchten, wird seine Rolle in Bezug auf die deutsche
Industrialisierung dargestellt.
Dabei wird das Schlagwort „Schutz der nationalen Arbeit“ analysiert. Es beinhaltet
das Streben der schutzzöllnerischen Industriellen nach Schutz des Binnenmarktes
und Industrialisierung, die ihrer Auffassung nach nur durch einen zollgeschützten
Binnenmarkt erreicht werden konnte. Die soziale Frage sollte dabei durch die
Industrialisierung und die Schaffung eines modernisierten Produktionssystems gelöst
werden. Die Idee des Binnenmarktsschutzes mündete schließlich in einem immer
stärker werdenden Nationalismus. Der „Schutz der nationalen Arbeit“ verdeutlicht
also in besonderer Weise die Zielvorstellung des deutschen Wirtschaftsbürgertums.
Die Ansichten sowie die Art und Weise der organisatorischen Tätigkeiten des
Rheinisch- Westfälischen (Handels- und) Gewerbevereins wandelten sich mit der
jeweiligen wirtschaftlichen Entwicklung. Mit der wirtschaftlichen Notlage nahmen
seine Tätigkeiten und Meinungsäußerungen zu, bei gegenläufigen Entwicklungen
oder guter konjunktureller Lage gingen seine Aktivitäten zurück.
Das Wirtschaftsbürgertum wird hier nicht unter dem normativen Aspekt der
Modernisierung interpretiert, vielmehr wird sein Handeln wird als spezifische
Reaktion auf eine bestimmte historische Situation gedeutet, in der es dem
Wirtschaftsbürgertum weniger um die Durchsetzung der Moderne als um das
wirtschaftliche Überleben und den wirtschaftlichen Erfolg ging
South Korean Nurses to West Germany: Reassessing the Role of the State in Postwar Global Labour Migration
Get PDFBetween the mid-1950s and the mid-1970s, 12,000 South Korean women worked as nurses in West Germany. Focusing on this migration allows for a reassessment of the role of the state in international labour migration prior to the era of globalization post-1980. Although Cold War politics shaped the diplomatic relationships that channeled South Korean nurses to West Germany, and contrary to narratives that celebrate the South Korean state’s central role in exporting female labour as the basis for South Korea’s economic miracle in the decades after the Korean War, the South Korean state played no direct role in the migration of nurses from South Korea to West Germany. South Korean nurses moved largely through the interventions not of the state but of private Catholic actors and not in the interests of South Korea’s economy but out of personal economic motivations.Entre le milieu des années 1950 et le milieu des années 1970, 12 000 Sud-Coréennes ont travaillé comme infirmières en Allemagne de l’Ouest. Attirer l’attention sur cette migration permet de réévaluer le rôle de l’État dans la migration internationale de travailleurs antérieure à la mondialisation d’après 1980. La politique de la guerre froide a certes façonné les relations diplomatiques qui ont conduit des infirmières sud-coréennes en Allemagne de l’Ouest, mais, contrairement au discours qui salue le rôle central de l’État sud-coréen dansl’exportation de main-d’oeuvre féminine et voit là le fondement du miracle économique survenu dans ce pays après la guerre de Corée, l’État sud-coréen n’a joué aucun rôle direct dans la migration de ses infirmières en Allemagne de l’Ouest. C’est surtout l’action d’intervenants catholiques privés et non celle de l’État qui a amené les infirmières sud-coréennes à agir ainsi, poussées par des raisons économiques personnelles et non par l’intérêt économique de leur pays
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
