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

De la división sexual del trabajo hacia la redefinición de las prácticas de cuidado: una experiencia de Economía Solidaria en Cataluña
Get PDFEl presente artículo surge de la investigación realizada en una cooperativa de la red de Economía Solidaria en
Cataluña, en el cual analizamos los cambios y repeticiones en la construcción de significados de los roles de
género asociados a la división sexual del trabajo, enfatizando los aspectos relativos a las prácticas de cuidado.
Para ello, realizamos una serie de entrevistas a informantes calificados/as del grupo, poniendo énfasis en sus
trayectorias laborales. En los resultados se destaca la flexibilización de los roles de género mediante la diversificación
de tareas en la cooperativa; ello no limita la reiteración de dinámicas tradicionales de atribuciones de
género en lo relativo a tareas reproductivas, aspecto no considerado ni asumido por el colectivo. Sin embargo, la
cooperativa se aprecia como un espacio multiplicador de experiencias de cuidado, que promueven la circulación
del afecto como un rasgo que se instala y cualifica las relaciones, facilitando la redefinición de las atribuciones
de género en el despliegue de tareas.This article emerges from a research conducted in a cooperative of Solidarity Economy network in Catalonia,
in which we analyze the changes and repetitions in the construction of meanings of gender roles associated
with the sexual division of labor, emphasizing aspects of care practices. We perform a series of interviews with
qualified informants of the group, emphasizing their working careers. The results highlight the flexibilization
of gender roles through diversification in the cooperative tasks; this does not limit the dynamic reiteration of
traditional gender attributions regarding reproductive tasks, something not considered or assumed by the group.
However, the cooperative is seen as a space that serves to multiply care experiences that promote the circulation
of affect as a feature that is installed and which qualifies relationships, facilitating the redefinition of gender
attributions in deployment of tasks
Economía(s) solidaria(s) y sostenibilidad de la vida: o cómo construir modos de vida vivibles. La experiencia en la base, Barcelona
Get PDFIn recent times socio- economic alternative modalities are being established, which are ever-increasing its adherents worldwide. Beyond the debates and different forms of expression in each context, Solidarity Economy (SE) can be identified as a heterogeneous set of socio-economic enterprises, which are built based on horizontal relationships among its members. Its principles are solidarity and mutual support, considering as well the environmental and community contexts as central elements of their actions. Finally, they seek for partnerships through collaborative networking.
The proposal of those experiences seems to agree with the feminist movement in relation to the need for other forms of social organization that contribute to create egalitarian ways of life. However, the SE has been questioned by feminisms (Nobre 2003; Guerin 2004; Matthaei 2010) because of some androcentric biases in the looks on the economy. In particular the lack of visibility on the tasks that sustain life and the need for upgrading and redistributing them within the groups. Similarly, and despite criticism, it has been recognized in its practices the possibility of creating other kind of social relations and the need to build bridges and dialogue between the two proposals.
In this article we share the thoughts that arise from an activist-research process in the Ateneu Cooperativo La Base in Barcelona. And we take the proposal of Sustainability of life developed by feminist economists (Carrasco 2001; Pérez-Orozco 2014) as the political and theoretical tool to analyze it. This approach allowed us to deepen the dialogue with the experiences in the SE in relation to two axes: i) to visualize the interdependence and to value the different tasks and jobs that sustain life of the collective; ii) revaluing the affective-relational component in the links and its significance for social transformation. This dialogue with feminist economy can: visualize and strengthen the practices that already exist within the SE with a perspective of the sustainability of life, an inspiration for the change of mindset to put life in the centre, and to pull for a radical policy of affectionEn el último tiempo se están constituyendo modalidades socio-económicas alternativas, que cada vez suman más adhesiones a nivel mundial. Más allá de los debates y las diferentes formas de expresión en cada contexto, con Economía Solidaria (ES) se identifica a un heterogéneo conjunto de emprendimientos socio-económicos, que se construyen basados en relaciones horizontales entre sus integrantes. Tienen como principios la solidaridad y el apoyo mutuo, considerando también el entorno ambiental y comunitario como elementos centrales de su accionar. Por último, buscan alianzas a través del establecimiento de redes de colaboración. Las propuestas de estas experiencias parecen coincidir en sus planteos con las del movimiento feminista, en relación a la necesidad de otras formas de organización social que aporten en la constitución de modos de vida igualitarios. Sin embargo, la ES ha sido cuestionada desde los feminismos (Nobre 2003; Guerin 2004; Matthaei 2010) por cierta reproducción de sesgos androcéntricos en la miradas sobre la economía. En particular, se cuestiona la falta de visibilidad sobre las tareas que sostienen la vida y la necesidad de una revalorización y redistribución de las mismas dentro de los colectivos que la componen. Del mismo modo, y a pesar de las críticas, reconocen en sus prácticas una posibilidad para la conformación de otro tipo de relaciones sociales y la necesidad de establecer puentes y diálogos entre ambas propuestas. En este artículo compartimos las reflexiones que surgen de un proceso de investigación-activista en el Ateneu Cooperativo La Base en Barcelona. Tomamos para este trabajo como herramienta teórico-política la propuesta de la Sostenibilidad de la vida desarrollada por economistas feministas (Carrasco 2001; Pérez-Orozco 2014). Este enfoque nos ha permitido profundizar en el diálogo con las experiencias en la ES en relación a dos ejes: i) visibilizar la interdependencia y valorizar las distintas tareas y trabajos que sostienen la vida del colectivo; ii) revalorizar el componente afectivo-relacional en los vínculos y su trascendencia para la transformación social. Este diálogo con la economía feminista permite: visibilizar y potenciar las prácticas que ya existen dentro de la ES desde una perspectiva de la sostenibilidad de la vida, una inspiración para el cambio de agenda que potencie poner la vida en el centro, y una apuesta radical por una política de los afecto
