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
Analysis of copyright comics and novelties in contemporary comic art
Get PDFThe thesis presents innovations in the modern comics industry and Japanese comics or manga is at its forefront. In it, I present the historical background of the manga and how it differs from Western culture and its comic book practices.
In my thesis I also present an author's work based on the tradition of Japanese comics, analyze it and present the new technology that enabled me to craft it
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
Art teachers\u27 perspectives on the rise of artificial intelligence in art
No full textV magistrskem delu sem obravnaval nov fenomen vzpona umetnosti umetne inteligence ter odziva učiteljev likovnega pouka nanj. Fenomen se je oblikoval v zadnjih šestih letih predvsem z razvojem t. i. »Text to image« programov umetne inteligence. Ker gre za »umetnine«, ki jih ustvarijo programi, s tem ko uporabnik le natipka poziv, je prišlo do velikih polemik glede avtorstva in ustvarjalnosti. Fenomen se je v tujini – v nasprotju z nami – že precej obravnaval na različnih področjih. Le na pedagoškem področju je ostal popolnoma neobdelan, tako da sta moja naloga in raziskovalno delo lahko odskočna deska v to novo tematiko. V teoretičnem delu sem opisoval ta novi fenomen umetnosti umetne inteligence na podlagi že opravljenih raziskav. Raziskovalni del pa je temeljil na pridobljenem mnenju učiteljev likovnega pouka. Ker gre za preučevanje fenomena, sem uporabljal predvsem kvalitativni način zbiranja in analiziranja podatkov. Temu sem potem dodal kvantitativni spletni vprašalnik za potrebe triangulacije in posploševanja rezultatov na širšo množico. Raziskovalna vprašanja so temeljila na teoriji in so se predvsem nanašala na mnenje učiteljev o tem novem fenomenu umetnosti umetne inteligence, kakšno mnenje imajo o njem kot likovniki, kot pedagogi, kot člani družbe ter kako ga osebno doživljajo in kaj si mislijo o problemih v zvezi z avtorskimi pravicami. Rezultati so pokazali precejšno ambivalentnost in negotovost. Nekateri so se bolj poistovetili s strahovi, ki jih povzroča vpeljava umetne inteligence na področje likovne umetnosti, nekateri manj. Večina pa se je strinjala, da bo ključno vlogo pri pravilni obravnavi tega fenomena imela ustrezna vzgoja.In my master\u27s thesis, I discussed the new phenomenon of the rise of artificial intelligence art and the response of art teachers to it. The phenomenon has taken shape in the last six years, primarily through the development of so-called "Text to image" artificial intelligence programs. Since there are "artworks" that are created by programs by a user simply typing a prompt, there have been major controversies regarding authorship and creativity. The phenomenon has already been discussed extensively abroad - in contrast to us - in various fields. Only in the pedagogical field has it remained completely unexplored, so my assignment and research work can be a springboard into this new topic. In the theoretical part, I described this new phenomenon of artificial intelligence art based on previously conducted research. The research part, however, was based on the opinions of art teachers. Since this is a study of the phenomenon, I mainly used a qualitative method of collecting and analyzing data. I then added a quantitative online questionnaire to this for the purposes of triangulation and generalization of the results to a wider audience. The research questions were based on theory and mainly concerned teachers\u27 opinions about this new phenomenon of artificial intelligence art, what their opinion is about it as artists, as educators, as members of society, how they personally experience it and what they think about copyright issues. The results showed considerable ambivalence and uncertainty. Some identified more with the fears caused by the introduction of artificial intelligence into the field of art, some less so. However, most agreed that appropriate education will play a key role in properly addressing this phenomenon
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
