Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Armenians from Mohylów Podolski in the light of the documents from the fifth revision of 1795
No full textThe article contains an edit and analysis of two documents that describe the Armenian community in Mohylów Podolski (Mohyliv-Podilskyi) on the Dniester after the Third Partition of Poland. They were created following the 1795 census of the population of Russia which was used to levy a poll tax (the so-called fifth revision). The documents contain a list of Armenian families and data on their social and professional status, age and territorial origin. They constitute an important source of information for genealogical, demographic, and historical research
1917: the “Polish” year in Ukraine
Full text linkArtykuł jest próbą kompleksowej analizy sytuacji Polaków na terytorium ukraińskich prowincji byłego imperium
rosyjskiego pomiędzy marcem 1917 roku a kwietniem 1918 roku (czas Centralnej Rady). Podkreślono główne aspekty ich
życia politycznego, gospodarczego i kulturalnego. Przeanalizowano przede wszystkim względy, które miały decydujący
wpływ na rozwój stosunków między władzami ukraińskimi a środowiskiem społecznym. Zwracano uwagę na pozytywne
doświadczenia współpracy ukraińsko-polskiej na przykładzie ukraińskiego Ministerstwa Spraw Polskich Ukraińskiej
Republiki Ludowej. Podsumowując, znaczenie stosunków ukraińsko-polskich we wspomnianym okresie jako konflikt
antagonistyczny jest kwestionowane.The article is an attempt to analyse in all its complexity Poles’ situation in the Ukrainian provinces’ territory of
the former Russian empire, between March 1917 and April 1918 (the time of the Central Council). The key aspects of
their political, economical and cultural lives are analyzed. Primarily, the aspects which had a decisive influence
on the development of relations between Ukrainian authorities and social environment are analyzed. What is more,
attention is paid to the positive experience of Ukrainian-Polish cooperation and the example of the Ukrainian
National Republic’s Ministry of Polish Affairs is given. In the conclusion, framing the Ukrainian-Polish relations
during the mentioned period as an antagonistic conflict is called into question
Variations on the Author
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
Full text linkWe 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
