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
Pensamiento estratégico y gestión del talento humano en gerentes corporativos
No full textThis study was aimed to determine the relationship between strategic thinking
and management of human resources in corporate managers of service
companies in the oil sector in Zulia state, according to the theories discussed
by Ohmae (2004), Nonaka and Takeuchi (2003), Mitzberg and Walters
(2001), Morin (2001), Maurik (2001), Chiavenato (2000) among others. The
research was descriptive and field assuming as non-experimental research
design and transactional. The study population was forty-two (42) managers belonging to several oil companies in the industry. Two instruments were
designed Likert type scale questionnaire, the first of which version PEGC-
2005 with fifty-six items and the latest version GTHEGC-2005 with forty-one.
Its validation was obtained through expert opinion (10) in the area and
reliability by the Cronbach Alpha method. The findings showed that firms
under study were located in a moderately efficient category related to the
presence of strategic thinking regarding the characterization of the processes
for managing human talent is determined moderately efficient, while the
relationship between both variables are placed based on the formula of
Pearson 0.195, which indicates a negligible relationship between them.El presente estudio tuvo como propósito determinar la relación entre
pensamiento estratégico y gestión del talento humano en los gerentes
corporativos de las empresas de servicio del sector petrolero del estado
Zulia, según las teorías expuestas por Ohmae (2004), Nonaka y Takeuchi
(2003), Mitzberg y Walters (2001), Morín (2001), Maurik (2001), Chiavenato
(2000) entre otros. El tipo de investigación fue descriptiva y de campo
asumiendo como diseño de investigación no experimental y transaccional. La
población objeto de estudio fue de cuarenta y dos (42) gerentes
pertenecientes a diversas empresas petroleras en el ramo. Se diseñaron dos
instrumentos tipo cuestionarios escala Lickert, el primero de ellos versión
PEGC-2005 con cincuenta y seis ítems y la última versión GTHEGC-2005
con cuarenta y uno. Su validación se obtuvo a través del juicio de expertos
(10) en el área y la confiabilidad por el método de Alfa Cronbach. Las
conclusiones del estudio demostraron que las empresas objeto de estudio se
ubicaron en una categoría moderadamente eficiente en relación con la
presencia del pensamiento estratégico; en cuanto a la caracterización de los
procesos para la gestión del talento humano se determino moderadamente
eficiente, mientras la relación entre ambas variables se ubico según la
formula de Pearson en 0,195; lo cual indico una relación casi nula entre las
mismas
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
ARTERITIS VIRAL EQUINA: UNA REVISIÓN
No full textLa arteritis viral equina (AVE) es una enfermedad viral contagiosa de los equinos causada por un arterivirus (virus arteritis equina) que ha sido frecuentemente confundida con enfermedades que presentan una clínica similar, especialmente con aquellas enfermedades causadas por herpesvirus tipo 1 y 4 o con la influenza viral equina. Esta patología ha demostrado causar grandes pérdidas económicas en la industria equina mundial, al reportarse abortos epidémicos y muerte de ejemplares, generalmente asociado con la movilización de caballos, observándose una rápida propagación del virus, la cual puede ocurrir en hipódromos, clubes ecuestres, exposiciones, subastas o haras. Esta patología debe su nombre a las características y lesiones constantes a nivel de las arteriolas y vasos de mediano calibre en los caballos infectados. La AVE es muy parecida a otras enfermedades equinas, que al final del siglo XIX y al inicio del siglo XX, fueron referidas por una variedad de términos clínicos que describen la enfermedad, como por ejemplo infección celulolítica, ojo rojo, etc. No es sino hasta 1953, después del seguimiento de un síndrome respiratorio reproductivo en yeguas, de la raza Standardbred, cerca de Bucyrus (Ohio, EUA), que el virus de la AVE fue identificado etiológicamente diferente de la Rinopneumonitis Equina producida por los herpesvirus tipo 1 y 4 y el virus de la Influenza Equina. Debido a la importancia de esta patología para la industria equina la presente revisión tiene como fin dar a conocer las características del agente causal, la distribución, el modo de transmisión, signología e inmunidad, así como los aspectos referentes al diagnóstico, control y prevención de la enfermedad.Equine Viral Arteritis: A ReviewABSTRACTEquine viral arteritis (EVA) is a contagious viral disease of the equine caused by arterivirus (equine arteritis virus) that had frequently been overviewed with other diseases that have clinical representation particulary caused by herpesvirus type 1 and 4 or equine viral influenza. This pathology has demonstrated that causes important economical losses worldwide, in the equine industry by causing abortion outbreaks and animals death often associated with horse congregation and mobilizations. Also, this pathology has a fast dissemination of the virus that may happen at racetrack, jockey clubs, auctions and farms. Lesions and characteristics in the arteriolas in infected horses originated the named in the past. The EVA is very similar to older equine diseases, like those refered at the end of XIX and the beginning of XX centuries due to the variety of clinical terms that describes the disease, as cellulite infection and pink eye, etc. In 1953, the virus was identified as differed from etiological entity different to the Equine Rinopheumonitis caused Influenza. This new identification took place after a reproductive syndrome outbreak in Standardbred mares, near to Bucyrus (Ohio, USA). Because of the importance of this pathology for equine industry worldwide, the objective of this review was to illustrate the characteristics of the virus, distribution of the disease, transmition, clinical signs, immunity, and features such as diagnosis, control and prevention of the disease
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
