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
Trânsitos entre a linguagem do cinema e a linguagem do teatro de animação contemporâneo
Get PDFDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Literatura, Florianópolis, 2010Este estudo trata de alguns dos trânsitos entre as linguagens do cinema e do teatro de animação. Partindo da idéia de que o teatro de animação contemporâneo é uma linguagem híbrida, cujas fronteiras se encontram borradas, e no interior da qual podem se agregar diversas influências vindas de outras linguagens artísticas como literatura, artes plásticas, quadrinhos e cinema, buscou-se destacar algumas destas influências a as características que tornam tal fenômeno possível. O Capítulo Primeiro trata da influência do teatro de sombras para os pré-cinemas e para a obra de dois cineastas de animação: Lotte Reininger e Michel Ocelot. O Capítulo Segundo trata das características do teatro de animação contemporâneo e de sua dramaturgia e da influência do boneco para as Vanguardas Artísticas através da importância do boneco para o trabalho de três encenadores/teóricos: Alfred Jarry, Edward Gordon Craig e Vsevolod Meyerhold. E o Capítulo Terceiro trata de dois espetáculos da Cia. PeQuod que utilizam temáticas e elementos da gramática cinematográfica em sua construção: Sangue Bom e Filme Noir.This study treats of some of the transit between the languages of cinema and puppetry. From the idea that the in puppetry nowadays there is a hybrid language, which bounds are found mingled, and in whose interior can be added a variety of influences from other artistic languages as literature, sculpture, painting, comics and cinema, it tried to point out some of this influences and the characteristics that make that event possible. The first chapter treats of the influence of Shadow Theater for the early cinemas and for the work of two animation filmmaker: Lotte Reiniger and Michel Ocelot. The second chapter treats of characteristics of contemporary puppetry and its dramaturgy and about the influence of the puppet for the Artistic Vanguard through the importance of the puppet for the work of three directors/theoretical: Alfred Jarry, Edward Gordon Craig and Vsevolod Meyerhold. And the third chapter treats of two performances from the Cia. PeQuod which utilize thematic and elements from the cinematographic grammar in its construction: Sangue Bom and Filme Noir
