Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
Thermal-energetic behavior of a house executed with light earth constructive technique under the PRO.CRE.AR
No full textEl Programa de Crédito Argentino (Pro.Cre.Ar), se caracteriza por permitir la resolución constructiva elegida por el beneficiario para construir su vivienda, posibilitando la adecuación a sus condicionamientos. En este trabajo se evaluará el comportamiento térmico-energético de la Casa García Villar ejecutada con la técnica constructiva tierra alivianada encofrada, pues el usuario reconoce las propiedades respecto a la sustentabilidad que caracteriza a la tierra. Se utilizó la observación para su reconocimiento, y el monitoreo higro-térmico en invierno y el etiquetado energético como instrumentos para su análisis y valoración. Se concluyó que el Pro.Cre.Ar permitió la ejecución de una vivienda que contribuye a la sustentabilidad. Se establecen también recomendaciones de diseño para futuras intervenciones al respecto.The A rgentine Credit Program (Pro.CreAr), is characterized by alloveing the
constructive resolution chosen by the beneficia ry to build bis home, enabling adap-
tation to its conditions. In this work, the therm al-energetic behavior of the García
Villar House executed with the light earth constructive technique w ill be evaluated,
since the user recognizes the properties regarding the sustainability that characterizes the earth. Observation was used for its recognition, and the hygro-therm al monitoring in winter and energy labeling in instruments for its analysis and assessment. It was concluded that the Pro. CreAr allowed the execution of a house that contributes to sustainability. Design recommendations are also established forfuture interventions in this regard.Fil: Ortega, Matías Eduardo.

Construction with Earth and Sustainability: Analysis in the Light of Public Housing Policies
No full textSocial housing public policies are the main tools that Latin American States have to reduce high housing deficit. This problem requires to be considered along with global warming, since thinking in the construction industry as energy-efficient it is imperative in the contemporary world. Earth construction is among the most interesting alternatives from this angle. This paper examines the experiences of public policies that allow the construction of homes made with earth in the province of Tucumán, in north-west of Argentina, with the purpose of approaching this reality and to examine the relation between these state programs of design and production of social habitat with the non-conventional technologies that incorporate the ground as an input for the construction. At the same time, this work aim to know the potentials for the development of these policies on a larger scale. The methodology used is research with participatory action (IAP), and the correlational study and of case is presented. The developed activities were analysed taking into consideration the history and documentation of the institutions involved, observation and analysis of sites, community and institutional approach, survey of housing and their contexts, data registration and its systematization to achieve results and conclusions. The results suggest that there are existing potentials for the development of public policies that implement the earthen construction on a larger scale, since the institutional, technological and socio-cultural identity precedents show it.Fil: Ortega, Matías Eduardo.

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe 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
