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

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

Get PDFA Thesis for applying for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Landscape ArchitectureThe goal of the case studies was to identify a semiosphere in landscape, the properties characteristic of memory and reminiscences, in order to identify the universal functioning mechanisms of the object and to comprehend the inner logics of the functioning of landscape.
Several traits characteristic of semiospheres are present in landscapes, such as delimitation, unevenness, homogeneity, individuality, wholeness. The semiospheric border of landscape determines the structural and functional nature of landscape as semiosphere, which enables objects with similar structure or function to be separated from the rest without defining the location of the physical border. Dispersion is typical of a landscape’s semiospheric border and the border may be both spatial and temporal. The unevenness, homogeneity and individuality of the landscape impacts the speed of the changes, the landscape’s stage of development and location in the general structure. The integrity of the landscape is expressed in the principle of the hermeneutical circle, in which the understanding of the whole ensure the understanding of the parts and vice-versa, the comprehension of the parts helps to under the whole.
The process occurring in the landscape is comprised of three parts: recording information, storing information and using information. Writing a text in the landscape (recording information) can occur in the following ways: between, besides, on top of and over. The means of writing has a direct impact on the durability of the landscape. The preservation of the landscape (storage of information) is dependent on the speed of changes. In the case of sudden changes that occur over a short period of time the landscape can actually survive quite well. The appearance of the opposite tendency can be observed in the case of constant and long-term changes.
In order for memories to be evoked, they must first be stored, and thereafter, their sign must be recognised. Memories can be stored with the help of both personal and collective memory, but recognition depends on personal experience. Lefebvre’s spatial triad divides the landscape into spaces that are distinguished from each other by characteristic words: lived, perceived, and conceived. If conceived space is a two-dimensional plan, then perceiv ed space is comprised of the surrounding space that lacks memories. Lived space does not develop before it is filled with personal memories. Space does not become lived space until the subject (person) and object (landscape) have made contact, when the contact that actives the memory occurs.Euroopa maastikukonventsiooni definitsiooni kohaselt on maastik inimeste poolt tajutav ("Landscape" means an area, as perceived by people, whose character is the result of the action and interaction of natural and/or human factors). Tajutavat maastiku vaadeldi semiosfääri, mälu ja mälestuste kaudu, mida mõjutavad erinevad dünaamilised protsessid nagu gentrifikatsiooni, maastiku muutused, sotsiaalsete representatsioonide ja sotsiaalse kapitali avaldume jms.
Leiti, et maastikus avalduvad mitmed semiosfäärile iseloomulikud omadused. Maastiku semiosfääriline piir määrab maastiku kui semiosfääri strukturaalse ja funktsionaalse olemuse, mis võimaldab eraldada sarnase struktuuri või funktsiooniga objektid ülejäänutest, ilma füüsilise piiri asukohta määramata. Maastiku semiosfäärilisele piirile on omane hajuvus ning piir võib olla nii ruumiline kui ajaline. Ebaühtsust, homogeensust ja individuaalsust mõjutab muutuste kiirus, maastiku arenguaste ja paiknemine üldise struktuuri suhtes. Maastiku terviklikkus avaldub hermeneutilise ringi printsiibis, kus tervikust arusaamine tagab osadest arusaamise ja vastupidi, osade mõistmine aitab mõista tervikut.
Maastikus toimuv protsess koosneb kolmest osast: info salvestamine, info talletamine, info kasutamine. Maastikku teksti kirjutamine (info salvestamine) võib toimuda: vahele, kõrvale, peale või üle. Kirjutamise viis avaldab otsest mõju maastiku säilivusele. Maastiku säilivus (info talletamine) on sõltuvuses muutuste kiirusega. Järsku ja lühikese aja jooksul toimunud muutuste puhul, võib maastik hästi säilida, vastupidise tendentsi avaldumist võib täheldada pidevate ja pikaajaliste muutuste puhul.
Mälestuse esilekerkimiseks on vaja esmalt mälestus talletada ja seejärel see ära tunda. Mälestuse talletamine võib toimuda nii isikliku kui kollektiivse mälu abil, kuid äratundmine sõltub isiklikust kogemusest. Lefebvre ruumitriaad jagab maastiku ruumideks, mida eristab üksteisest iseloomustavate sõnadega: elatud, tajutav, kujutatav. Kui kujutatav on kahemõõtmeline plaan (planeeringu joonis), siis tajutava ruumi moodustab ümbritsev ruum, milles puuduvad mälestused, elatud ruum tekib alles siis, kui see on täidetud isiklike mälestustega. Elatud ruum saab ruumiks alles peale subjekti (inimese) ja objekti (maastiku) kokkupuudet, mis käivitab mälestuse
