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
A antropologia filosófica no pensamento de Adam Smith
No full textO presente trabalho tem como proposta explicitar a concepção da
natureza humana no pensamento de Adam Smith, isto é, buscar um
entendimento da antropologia filosófica no pensamento do filósofo e
economista moderno. Desse modo, será incorporado à discussão as principais
obras do autor: The Theory of Moral Sentiments, Essays on Philosophical
Subjects, An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations,
Lectures on Jurisprudence e Lectures on Rethoric and Belles Lettres, para
aprofundar a tentativa de resposta do sistema moral de Smith. Entretanto,
destacamos a primeira obra, The Theory of Moral Sentiments, por
entendermos que esta obra estabelece os principais pressupostos da Filosofia
Moderna que se aproximam do entendimento da antropologia filosófica, e
também, por situar a discussão no cenário da "crise moral" dos séculos XVI e
XVII. Outra ressalva a fazer sobre a discussão compreende a leitura que
entendemos do método adotado por Smith, que se vale pela visão de sistema
filosófico do homem e sociedade de mercado. Por isso, momentaneamente
será abordado o tema com elementos que dialogam com outras obras do
pensador. Em outras palavras, entendemos que as relações que imantam a
escola filosófica escocesa do "senso moral", isto é, as condições que são
sinalizadas para a natureza humana sobre os sentimentos morais, são
proposições de um sistema filosófico moderno que se apresentam, mais
adiante, como ciência social e econômica. Para tanto, o alcance que se busca
neste trabalho compreende responder a seguinte questão: qual é o lugar no
pensamento de Smith para a Antropologia Filosófica? Neste sentido, o
método a ser adotado no estudo compreende analisar os pressupostos do
sistema moral do pensador, à luz do tempo lógico e temporal do que pode-se
nomear de "crise moderna moral". O estudo ainda sinaliza que a relação de
intersubjetividade existente na ordem social e econômica estão expressos pelos
sentimentos simpáticos - sentir com - que são sugeridos como resposta pelo
autor para a nova ordem social e econômica moderna, e, ao meu entender,
está situada no solo das regras gerais da moral. Diante deste contexto, nos faz
considerar que a simpatia é explicitada como causa (conveniência social e
econômica) e como efeito (aprovação e desaprovação moral).The present work has the proposal of explaining the conception of the
human nature according to the thought of Adam Smith, that is, to seek an
understanding of the philosophical anthropology in the thinking of a modern
philosopher and economist. In this way, the discussion will be incorporated with
the main works of the author: The Theory of Moral Sentiments, Essays on
Philosophical Subjects, An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of
Nations, Lectures on Jurisprudence and Lectures on Rhetoric and Belles
Letters, to deepen the answering attempts of the moral system of Smith.
However, we emphasize the first work, The Theory of Moral Sentiments, for we
understand that this work establishes the major assumptions of the Modern
Philosophy that approach the understanding of the philosophical anthropology,
and also, by situating the discussion into the scenario of the “moral crisis” that
took place during the centuries of XVII and XVIII. Another observation to make
on the discussion comprises the interpretation that we understand from the
method adopted by Smith, who goes by the vision of man’s philosophical
system and market society. So, for a moment, the theme will be addressed with
elements that dialogue with other works of the thinker. In other words, we
understand that the relations that magnetize the Scottish philosophical school of
the “moral sense”, i.e., the conditions that are signaled to the human nature
about the moral sentiments, are all propositions of a modern philosophical
system that are presented, later, as social and economic science. For such, the
reach searched in this work intends to answer the following question: what is
the place in the thinking of Smith for the Philosophical Anthropology? In this
sense, the method to be adopted in the study intends to examine the
assumptions of the moral system of the thinker, in the light of the logical and
temporal time of what can be called as “modern moral crisis”. The study still
signs that the existing inter-subjectivity relation in the social and economic order
is expressed by the sympathetic feelings – to feel with – that are suggested as
an answer by the author to the new modern social and economic order and, to
my understanding, is situated on the ground of the general rules of moral. With
this said, we consider that sympathy is explicated as cause (social and
economic convenience) and as effect (moral approval and disapproval).Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES
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
Ruy Fausto’s Democratic Socialism
No full textThis article proposes an analysis of the meaning of the project of a democratic socialism as formulated by Ruy Fausto, in a new cycle of publications starting in 2007. Departing from a critical and rigorous analysis of Marx\u27s politics he rejects both adherence to the neoliberal order and traditional revolutionary solutions. The core of his proposal is a combination of a democratic political form with the control over production shared with workers. Despite its radical nature, this project seems to us hostage to a conventional conception of democracy that blocks its realization. It would be necessary not to deny democracy, but to broaden its meaning so that it is up to its power of transformation.O artigo propõe-se a analisar o significado do projeto de um socialismo democrático tal como formulado por Ruy Fausto, em um novo ciclo de publicações posteriores a 2007. A partir de um balanço crítico e rigoroso da política de Marx, ele rejeita tanto o adesismo à ordem neoliberal quanto as soluções revolucionárias tradicionais. O núcleo da sua proposta consiste numa combinação da forma política democrática com o compartilhamento do controle da produção com os trabalhadores. A despeito da sua radicalidade, este projeto parece-nos refém de uma concepção convencional de democracia, que bloqueia a sua realização. Seria preciso não negar a democracia, mas alargar o seu sentido para que ela esteja à altura do seu poder de transformação
