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
Application of the best-worst scaling methodology to evaluate the road and storm drainage subsystems in the city center of Paulo Ramos - MA
No full textThis paper presents an approach on the application of the Best-Worst Scaling methodology to
evaluate the road and storm drainage subsystems in the city's downtown of Paulo Ramos -
MA. Despite the various types of subsystems present in the urban infrastructure, the road and
storm drainage subsystems were the focus of this research, as they have a great influence in
the municipality of Paulo Ramos - MA, since there are several poorly maintained roads, lack
of signage and infrastructure for parking management, soil impermeability, flooding and
waterlogging in the city's downtown and poor maintenance of drainage elements. The
objective of this study is to identify and analyze the main factors that prevent the proper
functioning of the road and storm urban drainage subsystems in the city's downtown of Paulo
Ramos - MA, examining the inefficient factors of these subsystems in the city's downtown
and relating their impacts to the quality of life of the population. To this end, a virtual
questionnaire was applied and made available via a link to the residents of Paulo Ramos, MA,
and some photographs were taken regarding the scope of the factors. The Best-Worst Scaling
methodology was used to analyze the data obtained, which classifies the attributes as “best”,
“worst” or neither, according to the perceptions of the residents of Paulo Ramos. The results
revealed that the profile of the interviewees can influence how they are perceived, in addition
to that, the indicators “General condition of the roads” and “Accessibility for pedestrians”
were perceived as the most important in the road subsystem; “Rainwater drainage capacity”
and “Presence of garbage on the streets” in the storm drainage subsystem; and, regarding the
quality of life in the city's downtown, the most influential indicators were “Traffic signs” and
“Urban waste collection”. Given the results, we can conclude that all indicators have some
relevance, of greater or lesser influence, for the efficiency of the road and storm drainage
subsystems, as well as for the quality of life of the population. It is also worth noting that the
methodology applied is easy to use and can be beneficial for several other situations.CNPQEste trabalho apresenta uma abordagem sobre a aplicação da metodologia Best-Worst Scalling
para avaliação dos subsistemas viário e de drenagem pluvial no centro da cidade de Paulo
Ramos – MA. Apesar dos vários tipos de subsistemas presentes na infraestrutura urbana, os
subsistemas viário e de drenagem pluvial foram o foco desta pesquisa, pois possuem grandes
influência no município de Paulo Ramos – MA, uma vez que há várias vias mal conservadas,
falta de sinalização e de infraestrutura para gestão de estacionamentos, impermeabilização do
solo, inundações e alagamentos no centro da cidade e manutenção escassa dos elementos de
drenagem. O objetivo deste estudo é identificar e analisar os principais fatores que
impossibilitam o bom funcionamento dos subsistemas viário e de drenagem urbana no centro
da cidade de Paulo Ramos – MA, examinando os fatores ineficientes destes subsistemas no
centro da cidade e relacionando seus impactos à qualidade de vida da população. Para tanto,
houve a aplicação de um questionário virtual disponibilizado via link aos moradores de Paulo
Ramos – MA e foi realizado alguns registros fotográficos relacionados à abrangência dos
fatores. Para a análise dos dados obtidos foi utilizado a metodologia Best-Worst Scalling, que
classifica os atributos como “melhor”, “pior” ou nenhum dos dois, conforme as percepções do
moradores Pauloramenses. Os resultados revelaram que o perfil dos respondentes pode
influenciar em suas percepções, além disso, os indicadores “Estado geral das vias” e a
“Acessibilidade para pedestres” foram percebidos como os mais importantes no subsistema
viário; a “Capacidade de escoamento de águas pluviais” e a “Presença de sujeira nas ruas” no
subsistema de drenagem pluvial; e, tratando-se da qualidade de vida no centro da cidade, os
indicadores mais influentes foram “Sinalização de trânsito” e “Coleta de resíduos urbanos”.
Diante dos resultados, podemos concluir que todos os indicadores têm certa relevância, de
maior ou menor influência, para a eficiência dos subsistemas viário e de drenagem pluvial
assim como para a qualidade de vida da população. Vale destacar ainda que a metodologia
aplicada é de fácil utilização e pode ser benéfica para várias outras situações
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
