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
The UNHCR in 2021: Refugee Resettlement as a Challenge of Underfunding, Power Imbalance and Impartiality
No full textAustrian Law Journal / Afghan Mass Displacement: The American Response in Light of International Human Rights and Refugee Law, and the Need for International Cooperation to achieve a Satisfactory Solution
No full textThis contribution addresses issues relevant to the legal status and treatment of evacuees from Afghanistan, many of whom are destined to the United States (US), but temporarily hosted in third countries. This concerns third countries having agreed on temporary hosting arrangements with the US, and lily pad countries in Europe and the Middle East, where evacuees are located in US military bases. Beyond, the future residence status of evacuees paroled in the US remains uncertain. Against that backdrop, the contribution’s overall aim is to map out the pertinent international legal framework and apply it in the context of the US response to Afghan mass displacement, which also provides lessons for the broader subject of resettlement and humanitarian admission, and underscores the essential role of international cooperation for the protection of refugees and other vulnerable individuals on the move
The legal framework for refugee resettlement to the European Union with lessons from the American model
No full textDie Dissertation befasst sich mit dem EU-Rechtsrahmen für die Neuansiedelung von Flüchtlingen und liefert eine umfassende Analyse, welche völkerrechtlichen Verpflichtungen dabei zu beachten sind. Im Zuge der über das EU-Recht hinausgehenden ganzheitlichen völkerrechtlichen Analyse und der Berücksichtigung der langjährigen Erfahrungen mit Refugee Resettlement in den USA werden neue Erkenntnisse für einen zukünftigen europäischen Rechtsrahmen und dessen praktische Umsetzung geschaffen.The doctoral thesis elaborates on the EU legal framework for refugee resettlement and provides an extensive analysis which international legal obligations must be respected in the course of resettlement. It, thus, complements EU law with a holistic international law perspective and also considers the long-standing resettlement experience of the US. The doctoral thesis reveals new perspectives for a future European legal framework and its practical implementation.Doctoral candidate Mag.ᵃ Janine Prantl, B.A.Dissertation University of Innsbruck 202
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
