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

Get PDFDer Donauraum ist ein Schlüsselraum in der Entwicklung Europas. Im Laufe der Geschichte waren die Donauländer durch politische Machtwechsel immer wieder getrennt und vereint. Heute verbindet der Donauraum die unterschiedlichsten Kulturen und Sprachen und ist Heimat für rund 80 Millionen Menschen. Durch die Trennung von West und Ost haben sich beide Teile Europas wirtschaftlich und infrastrukturell gesehen unterschiedlich stark entwickelt. Seit der Erweiterung der Europäischen Union Richtung Osten wird versucht, diese Disparitäten im Donauraum durch die EU-Regionalpolitik sowie die Umsetzung der Donauraumstrategie auszugleichen. Doch nicht immer wird der Gedanke einer gemeinsamen Entwicklung des Donauraums geteilt. Kritiker dieses Ansatzes meinen, dass die Staaten im Donauraum außer dem langen Fluss der sie durchfließt, nicht viel verbindet. Die Donauraumstrategie sei vor allem ein Instrument um EU-Gelder schneller zu lukrieren. Die vorliegende Diplomarbeit zeigt auf, dass der Donauraum nicht nur die Donau an sich als Gemeinsamkeit hervorbringt, sondern dass seine Regionen in ihrer Entwicklung sehr wohl gemeinsamen Themen und Herausforderungen begegnen müssen und dass diese oft nur gemeinschaftlich gelöst werden können. Ziel der Arbeit ist daher die Ermittlung von Potentialen, Herausforderungen und Problemen in der Entwicklung von Regionen entlang der Donau sowie des gesamten Donauraumes und die Erarbeitung von strategischen Ansätzen zur Begegnung dieser.The Danube Region is a key area in the development of Europe. Throughout history, the Danubian countries have been separated and united several times by political changes. Today, the Danube Region connects the most diverse cultures and languages and is home to around 80 million people. As a result of the separation of West and East, both parts of Europe have developed in different ways economically and in terms of infrastructure. Since the enlargement of the European Union to the East, attempts have been made to balance these disparities in the Danube region with EU regional policy and the implementation of the Danube Region Strategy. But the idea of a common development of the Danube region is not shared always. Critics of this approach believe that the countries in the Danube Region do not connect much more except the long river that flows through them. Above all, the Danube Region Strategy is an instrument for obtaining faster access to EU funds. The diploma thesis shows that the Danube region not only brings together the Danube as a common similarity, but that its regions have to face common issues and challenges in their development. These challenges can often only be solved in a collaborative way. The aim of the work is therefore to identify potentials, challenges and problems in the development of regions along the Danube and in the entire Danube region and to elaborate strategic approaches to face them
