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
La quinta disciplina di Peter Senge nelle scuole. Una revisione della letteratura
Get PDFThe Fifth Discipline (FD) is an advanced leadership and management system ideated in1990’s, it is a widely used system in the management of business companies and it is objectof continuous improvement. The literature about FD is manifold, but in the educationfield it is very poor. This paper aims to provide an overview and to report data of areview carried out on the ERIC search engine. We have found 73 articles, 40 did not talkabout school or higher education; 31 focused only on the 4 disciplines (personal mastery,mental models, shared vision and team learning). But they assume that the fulfillmentof the 4 disciplines transforms an organization into a learning organization. Only 2 paperstook into account the FD in its 7 learning disabilities; 5 Rules and 9 system archetypes.La Quinta Disciplina è un sistema avanzato di management ideato da Senge negli anni ’90.Da allora è diventato un sistema molto diffuso nel settore del business ed è oggetto dicontinue ricerche. Abbiamo fatto una ricerca della letteratura sul motore di ricerca pedagogicoERIC. È emerso che più di 40 articoli su 73 non riguardavano l’ambito della scuolao dell’università; 31 riguardavano le 4 discipline (maestria personale, modelli mentali, visionecondivisa e apprendimento di gruppo) presupponendo che il loro adempimentotrasformi automaticamente la scuola in una learning organization. Solo 2 articoli prendevanoin considerazione gli aspetti più peculiari (7 incapacità di apprendere; 5 Regole, 9 archetipisistemici). 71 articoli si focalizzano sulle applicazioni organizzative mentrepotrebbe essere applicato come un sistema in grado di sviluppare il fattore umano comechiave di crescita organizzativa
Fake news ed educazione per una cittadinanza illuminata
Get PDFThe Fake News’ topic is interesting because it is new and it is old at the same time. If we want to define “fake news” we cannot give it a unique meaning. Someone frames fake news only in the social media area, some others extend the meaning to newspapers, someone else to any kind of mass media (TV, Books, Radio, etc.). But it is sure that our students don’t know how to detect them and how to fight them. The extent of perceived realism of fake news depends also on the extent of hard-news exposure, with the result that individuals exposed to both hard and fake news find fake-news messages less realistic. So we also need to teach our students how become hard-news reader in order to know and detect fake news. In this article we see the “status” of the Fake News problem, how some national and international laws are going on, and some exercises that we can do with our students in order to be “more democratic”.L’argomento Fake News è interessante perché è nuovo e vecchio allo stesso tempo. Potremmo tentare di definire il termine “Fake News” senza però dargli un significato unico. Qualcuno infatti incornicia le Fake News solo nel settore dei social media, altri estendono il significato anche ai giornali, qualcun altro a qualsiasi tipo di mass media (TV, libri, radio, ecc.). È sicuro però che i nostri studenti non sanno né come rilevarle né come combatterle. L’entità del realismo percepito delle Fake News dipende anche dal grado di esposizione dei fruitori alle hard-news, infatti gli individui esposti sia alle Hard che alle Soft news trovano i messaggi delle Fake News meno realistiche. Perciò abbiamo anche bisogno di insegnare ai nostri studenti come diventare lettori critici delle news in generale, al fine di conoscere e rilevare le notizie false. In questo articolo presentiamo lo “status” del problema delle Fake News, come alcune leggi nazionali e internazionali siano in corso, e alcuni esercizi che possiamo fare con i nostri studenti al fine di diventare “più democratici”
