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
Piękno architektury sakralnej
No full textThe author attempts to answer questions, what is beauty in architecture and how to define beauty in relation to sacrum, bearing in mind the subjective and social perception and a need for beauty, especially in the sphere of sacrum. He analyses the workshop of the designer, struggling with form, structure and environment and his vision of beauty. The author analyzes several examples defining relations between beauty and sacrum.Autor podejmuje próbę odpowiedzi na pytania, czym jest piękno w architekturze i jaką pełni rolę w architekturze sakralnej, mając na uwadze subiektywne i społeczne odczuwanie cech piękna i zapotrzebowanie na piękno, zwłaszcza w sferze sacrum. Analizuje warsztat architekta-twórcy zmagającego się z formą, konstrukcją, substancją i otocze-niem oraz jego wizję piękna. Autor analizuje kilka wybranych przykładów określających relację piękna i sacrum
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
Coast of the Sun - the intensive development of the coastal zone of the Costa Del Sol in Spain. An attempted appraisal
No full textWybrzeże Słońca to obecnie intensywnie zagospodarowany odcinek pasa nad Morzem Śródziemnym w Andaluzji. Doskonały klimat, warunki naturalne i bogate dziedzictwo architektury i kultury regionu powoduje, że Costa del Sol cieszy się dużą popularnością wśród osób spędzających wakacje w Hiszpanii. Jest to też obszar silnej antropopresji i rozwoju budownictwa komercyjnego. Oceny wartości tego obszaru, a zwłaszcza intensywności jego urbanizacji są jednak zróżnicowane. Autor, mimo rozpowszechnionej krytycznej oceny współczesnego rozwoju regionu Costa del Sol, poszukuje w transformacji i zagospodarowaniu tego obszaru aspektów pozytywnych.The Coast of Sun (Costa del Sol) is nowadays intensive developed strip of coastal zone on the Mediterranean Sea in Andalucía. The perfect climate, natural conditions and the rich architectural and cultural heritage of the region, are the reason for big interest of all person willing to spend holidays in Spain. It is also the region of high antropopression and development of commercial architecture. The evaluation outputs of the development in this area, especially of its urbanization are different. Author, despite of the disseminated critical assessment of the contemporary urban development of Costa del Sol, searches in the transformation and development processes some positive issues
State of art of the scientific discipline: architecture and urban planning in Poland
No full textArtykuł opracowany został na podstawie wypowiedzi autora na posiedzeniu Plenarnym Komitetu Architektury i Urbanistyki PAN w Warszawie w dniu 25.09.2010 roku i stanowi próbę określenia zakresu dyscypliny naukowej: architektura i urbanistyka, jej stanu w porównaniu z poziomem światowym oraz jej silnych i słabych stron. Autor stwierdza, że dyscyplina ta ma duże szanse rozwojowe w Polsce i za granica. Barierami jej rozwoju są ograniczenia formalno-prawne i niski budżet na rozwój naukowy.The paper was prepared on hand of the author's presentation at the Plenary Meeting of the Architecture and Urban Planning Committee of Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw, held on 25-th of September 2010 and is a trial to define the range of the scientific discipline of architecture and urban planning in Poland, it's state of art in comparison to the world level and it's strong and weak features. Author concludes, that this discipline has big development chances in Poland and abroad. The development barriers consist of formal and legal prescriptions and Iow budget for financing the scientific development
