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
O futuro das democracias?: diagnósticos e prognósticos pós-2016 em uma perspectiva comparada
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Sociologia e Ciência Política, Florianópolis, 2022.A ascensão de líderes e discursos antidemocráticos dentro de regimes considerados democracias estáveis tornou-se tema central nas discussões de diferentes áreas da ciência, em especial, após 2016, com a eleição de Donald Trump nos Estados Unidos da América e do referendo pelo Brexit no Reino Unido. Nesse sentido, esta pesquisa debruça-se, em primeiro lugar, sobre algumas obras consolidadas no circuito acadêmico que abordaram o tema nos últimos anos, articulando-as com as variáveis disponíveis pelos dados sobre consolidação democrática do instituto V-Dem. Nesse sentido, os livros selecionados foram de autores que possuem tal tema como eixo central em suas publicações, sendo eles: Pippa Norris, Ronald Inglehart, David Runciman, Manuel Castells, Steven Levitsky, Daniel Ziblatt, Yascha Mounk e Adam Przeworski. Em segundo lugar, conjugadas às argumentações realizadas por tais autores, dezesseis variáveis do debate sobre erosão democrática foram observadas em três países (Brasil, Estados Unidos e Reino Unido) e duas regiões de novas democracias (América do Sul e Leste europeu). O que se observou no levantamento foi notável oscilação dos dados para os Estados Unidos, uma estabilidade no Reino Unido e variações dignas de nota para o Brasil. Em especial, na comparação das regiões de novas democracias, observou-se maior dissipação do apoio democrático para regiões rurais. No geral, as variáveis que mais sofreram alterações no período analisado foram as que demonstram um aumento na mobilização pela democracia e autocracia, assim como um aumento na violência e na polarização políticas. No entanto, tais mudanças não foram suficientes para que se constatasse a fragilidade institucional dos Estados analisados, o que vai de encontro, principalmente, às obras de autores que atestam a ruína de regimes democráticos.Abstract: The rise of autocratic leaders and their ideas within regimes considered well established has become a leading topic in different scientific areas, especially after Donald Trump?s election and the Brexit referendum, both in 2016. In this regard, this research first analyses six selected books that have discussed the topic in the recent years and then contrasts them with data from the V-dem institute. These six books were intentionally selected based on the authors? long contact with the theme of democratic backslides, them being: Pippa Norris, Ronald Inglehart, David Runciman, Manuel Castells, Steven Levitsky, Daniel Ziblatt, Yascha Mounk and Adam Przeworski. Secondly, sixteen variables were observed in three different countries (Brazil, The United States and The United Kingdom) as well as in two regions known for their young democracies (South America and East-central Europe). We observed a continuation of the turbulence in the United States, stability in the United Kingdom and some important changes in Brazil. When comparing the regions with young democracies we noted an increasing dissipation of democratic support to urban areas. Overall, the variables which changed the most from 2016 to 2020 were the ones that showed a growth in mobilization for democracy along with a rise in political violence and polarization. Nonetheless, these changes were not strong enough to contrast the institutional fragility of the selected countries and regions, going against books that testify for the imminent end of democracies
O conceito de banalidade do mal de Hannah Arendt e modernidade de Zygmunt Bauman nos filmes sobre o Holocausto: um estudo a partir dos filmes "Triunfo da vontade" e "A lista de Schindler"
No full textThis paper analyzes Hannah Arendt’s Banality of Evil along with Zygmunt Bauman’s Modernity and apply them in recognized movies around the world and through history. Besides the different movies addressed, two of them will be deeper featured in the subject. They are the featured American movie “Schindler’s List” and the infamous nazi propaganda documentary “Triumph des Willens”. When the theories are put to test, it is remarkable the importance to recognize the ideologies and interests behind every great launch in cinema that tries to recount a historical event. Picking as an example the way that the jew Holocaust is treated in most of the movies, it becomes clear where lies the real threats and dangers that Hannah Arendt and Zygmunt Bauman told on their works.A presente pesquisa analisa o conceito de Banalidade do Mal de Hannah Arendt em conjunto com a Modernidade de Zygmunt Bauman aplicados em trabalhos cinematográficos ao redor do globo e da história. Além dos diferentes filmes abordados, dois recebem destaque para um maior aprofundamento da questão, sendo eles o reconhecido “A Lista de Schindler”, longa-metragem norte-americano e o polêmico “O Triunfo da Vontade”, documentário de propaganda nazista. Ao analisar as teorias dentro dos filmes abordados, percebe-se a importância em reconhecer as ideologias e interesses presentes por trás de cada grande lançamento do cinema que tenta recontar um evento histórico. Utilizando como exemplo a forma com que o Holocausto judeu é retratado dentro de grande parte do cinema internacional, consegue-se salientar os reais perigos informados por Hannah Arendt e Zygmunt Bauman em suas contribuições
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
