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

The Role of Instagram Usage and Loneliness in the Relationship Between Digital Stress and Well-Being Among Young People
No full textCilj ovog istraživanja bio je ispitati efekte intenziteta korištenja Instagrama i usamljenosti na odnos digitalnog stresa i psihološke dobrobiti kod mladih osoba. Istraživanje je provedeno na 247 studenata, od kojih je 85.8 % ženskog, a 13.8 % muškog spola. Ispitanici pripadaju dobnoj skupini od 18 do 28 godina (M = 22.07, SD = 2.14). Za potrebe istraživanja korištene su sljedeće mjere: Multidimenzionalna skala digitalnog stresa, Skala usamljenosti, Skala intenziteta korištenja Instagrama i Indeks dobrobiti Svjetske zdravstvene organizacije, te su prikupljeni demografski podaci. Rezultati hijerarhijske regresijske analize pokazali su statistički značajan negativan doprinos usamljenosti i spola, te statistički značajan pozitivan doprinos intenziteta korištenja Instagrama u objašnjenju psihološke dobrobiti. Dobivena je statistički značajna interakcija između intenziteta korištenja Instagrama i preopterećenosti informacijama na psihološku dobrobit, dok moderatorski učinci nisu potvrđeni za ostale dimenzije digitalnog stresa. Konkretno, kod mladih osoba koje iskazuju nizak stres zbog preopterećenosti informacijama, visok intenzitet korištenja Instagrama povezan je s povećanjem psihološke dobrobiti, što nije slučaj kod mladih koji iskazuju visoku razinu preopterećenosti informacijama. Suprotno očekivanjima, usamljenost nije pokazala moderatorsku ulogu u odnosu između digitalnog stresa i psihološke dobrobiti. Doprinos ovog istraživanja je u razumijevanju kompleksnog odnosa između digitalnog stresa i psihološke dobrobiti, te pružanje temelja za razvoj intervencija usmjerenih na specifične potrebe mladih korisnika društvenih mreža.The aim of this study was to examine the effects of Instagram usage intensity and loneliness on the relationship between digital stress and psychological well-being among young people. The research was conducted on 247 students, with 85.8% identifying as female and 13.8% as male. The participants belonged to the age group of 18 to 28 years (M = 22.07, SD = 2.14). The following measures were used for the study: the Multidimensional Digital Stress Scale, the Three-Item Loneliness Scale, the Instagram Intensity Scale, and the WHO-5 Well-being Index, along with demographic data collection. Results of hierarchical regression analysis showed a statistically significant negative contribution of loneliness and gender, as well as a statistically significant positive contribution of Instagram usage intensity in explaining psychological wellbeing. A statistically significant interaction emerged between Instagram usage intensity and connection overload in relation to psychological well-being, while moderating effects were not confirmed for other dimensions of digital stress. Specifically, among young people experiencing low stress due to connection overload, high Instagram usage intensity was associated with increased psychological well-being. However, this was not the case for those experiencing high levels of connection overload. Contrary to the expectations, loneliness did not show a moderating role in the relationship between digital stress and psychological well-being. This study contributes to a better understanding of the complex relationship between digital stress and psychological well-being, layingthe foundation for developing interventions tailored to the specific needs of young social media users
