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
Pierre Bourdieu o sztuce jako praktyce społecznej. Obrona koncepcji autonomicznego pola produkcji kulturowej
No full textCelem artykułu jest namysł nad poststrukturalistyczną konceptualizacją praktyk społecznych i autonomicznych pól produkcji kulturowej w późnej twórczości Pierre'a Bourdieu, zmierzający w kierunku wyodrębnienia specyfiki autonomicznego pola sztuki i uchwycenia nastawienia auto¬ra wobec własnych konstrukcji teoretycznych. Autonomiczne pole sztuki rysuje się w tym kontek¬ście jako jedna z takich trwających wciąż struktur o charakterze historycznym, które umożliwiają produkcję i reprodukcję kultury; jako stosunkowo wolne od zewnętrznych nacisków, autonomicz¬ne pola produkcji kulturowej sprzyjają akumulacji wiedzy i wzmacniają potencjał refleksji. Jako takie – pole sztuki jest diagnozowane u Bourdieu jako współczesna wartość wymagająca obrony. Autorka wydobywając z konceptualizacji Bourdieu tę diagnozę, z którą się zgadza, stara się tak¬że wskazać najważniejsze tradycje humanistyczne, które, według niej, umożliwiły nowoczesne i współczesne ujęcia teorii praktyki oraz rozwój myśli Bourdieu w kierunku emancypacyjnym.The article’s aim is to reflect on the late poststructuralist conceptualisations of social practices and autonomous fields of cultural production by Pierre Bourdieu in order to distin¬guish the specificity of the autonomous field of art and to grasp the author’s attitudes to these theoretical constructions. The autonomous field of art is being drawn in the late thought of the French thinker as one of the still existing structures of historical character enabling cultural production and reproduction that is relatively free from external pressures, favours the accu¬mulation of knowledge and enhances reflection. As such – it is diagnosed as a contemporary value in need of defence. The author of these considerations tries to extract this diagnosis, with which she agrees, form Bourdieu’s thought. She also attempts to point out the most important, according to her, humanistic traditions which enabled some selected approaches to the theory of practice of modernity and late modernity, and thus the development of Bourdieu’s ideas towards emancipation
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
Supporting children’s mental resilience – guidance for parents and carers
Get PDFCel. Zagadnienie odporności psychicznej dzieci i młodzieży jest w ostatnim czasie szeroko analizowane i dyskutowane w różnych gremiach naukowych. Kondycja psychiczna najmłodszego pokolenia jawi się nam w dość ciemnych barwach. Co roku obserwujemy lawinowy wzrost zaburzeń lękowych i zachorowań na depresję. Osoby młode często mówią o doskwierających im: dużym stresie, poczuciu niepewności, braku wiary w siebie. Miniona pandemia Covid-19 znacznie pogorszyła psychospołeczne funkcjonowanie dzieci i młodzieży, doświadczyły przymusowej izolacji, poczucia osamotnienia i pustki, nadmiernego stresu, wielu strat. Badacze i specjaliści – praktycy pracujący na co dzień w gabinetach – intensywnie poszukują nowych rozwiązań, różnych sposobów wsparcia i pomocy młodemu pokoleniu. Metody i materiały. Tematyka prezentowanego artykułu dotyczy wspierania odporności psychicznej dzieci. Analizie teoretycznej poddano następujące zagadnienia: rozumienie odporności psychicznej w różnych koncepcjach naukowych – modele odporności psychicznej, czynniki ochronne i czynniki ryzyka dla zdrowego rozwoju psychicznego dziecka, charakterystyka dziecka odpornego psychicznie, znaczenie sposobu sprawowania nad nim opieki. Wyniki i wnioski. Dużo uwagi poświęcono zaakcentowaniu ogromnej roli rodziców i opiekunów w kształtowaniu i wzmacnianiu odporności psychicznej dzieci, miedzy innymi podkreślając zasadę „odporni rodzice – odporne dzieci”, wskazując na ogromny wpływ zasobów psychicznych rodziny w kształtowaniu odporności psychicznej dziecka. Ostatnią część artykułu stanowią z kolei wskazówki dla rodziców i opiekunów odnośnie do sposobów, w jakie mogą wspierać odporność u swoich dzieci.Aim. The issue of the mental resilience of children and young people has recently been widely analysed and discussed by various scientific bodies. The mental condition of the youngest generation appears to us in rather dark colours. Anxiety disorders and depression are increasing exponentially every year. Young people often speak of experiencing high levels of stress, insecurity, and lack of self-confidence. The relatively recent Covid-19 pandemic significantly worsened the psycho-social functioning of children and adolescents by marking them with forced isolation, feelings of loneliness and emptiness, excessive stress, and the experience of multiple losses. Researchers and specialist practitioners working in therapy practices on a daily basis are intensively looking for new solutions, and different ways to support and help the younger generation. Methods and materials. The topics of the presented article are about supporting children’s mental resilience. The following issues were theoretically analysed: the understanding of mental resilience in different scientific concepts – models of mental resilience, protective factors and risk factors for the healthy mental development of the child, characteristics of the mentally resilient child, and the importance of how the child is cared for. Results and conclusion. Much attention has been paid to emphasising the huge role of parents and carers in shaping and strengthening children’s mental resilience. Therefore, the final section of the article provides tips for parents and carers on how they can support resilience in their children
