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
Intervención sindical en la conformación de partidos políticos: reconstrucción del estándar para acreditar su injerencia
No full textThe Mexican Electoral Court of the Federal Judiciary issued three sentences in which it analyzed whether or not there was intervention by unions in the formation of political organizations that aspired to become political parties. Without developing a tool to elucidate such issue, the Electoral Court issued three sentences in which it analyzed whether or not there was intervention by the unions in the formation of political organizations that aspired to become political parties. Without developing a tool to clarify this issue, the court specialized in electoral matters used contradictory criteria to demonstrate in one case that there was interference by a union, while in the other two cases such action wasn’t proven.
For this reason, this study proposes the study of the constitutional prohibition that union organizations form political parties, as well as the legal right that is protected, such as the right of association in electoral political matters. Developed this, we propose the reconstruction of a norm that allows to protect the protected legal right and that accredits the union intervention in the conformation of the political forces.El Tribunal Electoral del Poder Judicial de la Federación emitió tres sentencias en las cuales analizó si existía o no intervención de sindicatos en la conformación de las organizaciones políticas que aspiraban a convertirse en partidos políticos. Sin desarrollar una herramienta para dilucidar tal cuestión, utilizó criterios diferenciados para demostrar, en un caso, que sí hubo injerencia de un sindicato, mientras que en los otros dos asuntos no tuvo por acreditada tal acción.
Por ende, en este análisis se plantea el estudio de la prohibición constitucional a las organizaciones gremiales de constituir partidos políticos, así como del bien jurídico que se protege: el derecho de asociación en materia político-electoral. Una vez desarrollado lo anterior, se propone la reconstrucción de un estándar que permita proteger el bien jurídico tutelado y acredite la intervención gremial en la conformación de fuerzas políticas
¿La independencia de iure y su relación con el derecho humano de acceso a la justicia y el principio de división de poderes es suficiente para alcanzar la independencia de facto?
Get PDFAbstract: This work explores the content of de iure independence, which implies analyzing the relationship that judicial independence has with the human right of access to justice and the principle of division of powers, as well as the defense role that judicial guarantees come into play. However, de iure independence is not enough to guarantee its real existence and exercise, since to achieve de facto independence we need other empirical variables and the participation of both the media and civil society that allow it to be defended for its own sake for healthy functioning.El presente trabajo explora el contenido de la independencia de iure, lo cual, implica analizar la relación que tiene la independencia judicial frente al derecho humano de acceso a la justicia y al principio de división de poderes, así como el papel de defensa que juegan las garantías judiciales. Sin embargo, la independencia de iure no es suficiente para garantizar su real existencia y ejercicio, pues para lograr una independencia de facto necesitamos de otras variables empíricas y de la participación tanto de los medios de comunicación como de la sociedad civil que permitan defenderla para su sano funcionamiento
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
