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
Fugas e quilombos na Ilha de Santa Catarina, século XIX
Get PDFThis article deals with runaway slaves in the Island of Santa Catarina, in southern Brazil, during the nineteenth century. The study is based on the analysis of newspaper ads reporting runaways, on the correspondence between the president of the Province of Santa Catarina and police and judicial authorities, as well as on judicial processes involving runaway slaves. We can identify an important network among slaves and between slaves and other groups in the population. The decision to run away was based on an analysis of the advantages and difficulties that the slave endured in captivity and those that he/she would find after escaping. Understanding the thought processes that led to these decisions requires a comprehension of interpersonal relations, of the specific conditions of the individual's captivity and of the surrounding society
Escravidão, liberdade e os arranjos de trabalho na Ilha de Santa Catarina nas últimas décadas de escravidão (1850-1888)
Get PDFDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas. Programa de Pós-graduação em HistóriaEsta dissertação trata da economia e do trabalho de escravos e libertos na Ilha de Santa Catarina nas últimas décadas de escravidão (1850-1888). A pesquisa se baseou na análise de inventários post-mortem, mapas de população, livros de receita e despesa da Câmara Municipal, cartas de alforria e contratos de locação de serviço. A análise da economia local, à luz dos novos trabalhos sobre mercado interno e economia de abastecimento do Império demonstrou que o incremento na produção de gêneros e intensificação do comércio com outras províncias apresentado pela economia catarinense nas décadas de 1850 e 1860, foi acompanhado de continuado investimento na compra de escravos por parte dos produtores locais. Esta conclusão contradiz a idéia corrente de que Santa Catarina teria, logo após a proibição definitiva do tráfico atlântico de escravos em 1850, começado a vender escravos para o sudeste. Neste quadro de continuação do aproveitamento de mão de obra escrava, procuramos perceber a diversidade das ocupações e dos arranjos de trabalho envolvendo escravos Nas décadas de 1870 e 1880, acompanhando a aumento no número de libertos, a análise se centrou nas alforrias, contratos de locação de serviço e nas estratégias dos libertos para se manterem no mercado de trabalho em transformação
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
