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
PRODUÇÃO TEXTUAL EM CONTEXTO DE ENSINO SUPERIOR: REDISCUTINDO PERSPECTIVAS E PROCEDIMENTOS DE ENSINO-APRENDIZAGEM
No full textRESUMO O artigo tem como objetivo apresentar e discutir resultados de uma investigação de base qualitativo-interpretativista dos procedimentos de ensino-aprendizagem utilizados em uma disciplina voltada exclusivamente para leitura e produção de textos acadêmicos do Programa de Formação Interdisciplinar Superior (Profis) da Universidade Estadual de Campinas (Unicamp), no período de 2013 a 2016. Como aporte teórico, este estudo toma como base a perspectiva sociocultural de Vygotsky (2000, 2003) e, particularmente, seu conceito de Zona de Desenvolvimento Proximal (ZDP), aliado aos conceitos de Mastery Learning (BLOOM, 1971), feedback recursivo (COPE; KALANTZIS, 2016) e Scaffolding (BRUNER; ROSS; WOOD, 1976). Os resultados mostram que se a produção textual for trabalhada por meio de um processo de avaliação formativa, de caráter prospectivo e construtivo, fornecendo um contínuo feedback para os aprendizes, é possível levá-los a novas formas de conhecimento, em que os andaimes necessários, construídos tanto com a ajuda de pessoas mais experientes, quanto por meio de seus próprios pares, podem, então, transformar seu desenvolvimento potencial, que se relaciona às capacidades e conquistas a serem obtidas pelos discentes, em desenvolvimento real, concernente às àquelas que já foram por eles atingidas
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
TEXT PRODUCTION IN HIGHER EDUCATION: REDISCUSSING TEACHING-LEARNING PERSPECTIVES AND PROCEDURES
No full textABSTRACT This study aims to present and discuss the results of an interpretive qualitative study of the teaching-learning procedures used in a discipline exclusively focused on reading and production of academic texts under the Programa de Formação Interdisciplinar Superior (Profis) of State University of Campinas (Unicamp), from 2013 to 2016. As its theoretical basis, this study uses Vygotsky’s sociocultural perspective (2000, 2003) and, particularly, his concept of Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD), together with the concepts of Mastery Learning (BLOOM, 1971), recursive feedback (COPE; KALANTZIS, 2016) and Scaffolding (BRUNER; ROSS; WOOD, 1976). The results show that if text production is submitted to a formative evaluation process of prospective and constructive character, with continuous feedback to students, there may be new ways to build knowledge which, developed with the help of more experienced people or through their own peers, can transform their potential development level, the one related to the abilities and achievements to be obtained by the students, into an actual development level, which concerns the achievements they have already accomplished.</p
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
