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
Violência doméstica e familiar : representações sociais de mulheres, agressores e implementadores de políticas públicas e serviços de enfrentamento em Rondônia.
Get PDFA violência doméstica e familiar contra a mulher é um problema social recorrente, que passou a ter maior visibilidade a partir da década de 80, século XX, por influência do Movimento Feminista. É considerada atualmente como uma das formas de violação de Direitos Humanos. Com a aprovação da Lei nº 11.340/2006, a violência doméstica contra a mulher deixa de ser tratada como um crime de menor potencial ofensivo, aumentando o rigor das punições, das agressões e tipificando as situações de violência doméstica. Partindo do pressuposto de que a compreensão do fenômeno da violência doméstica e familiar pode contribuir para a formulação e implementação de políticas púbicas e, que as representações sociais auxiliam nessa compreensão, bem como a escassez de estudos no estado de Rondônia, esta tese tem como objetivo geral apreender as representações sociais de mulheres em situação de violência doméstica e familiar, de agressores e de implementadores de políticas públicas sobre a violência doméstica e familiar e, as percepções sobre os serviços de atendimento. Para a realização deste estudo, utilizou-se a abordagem qualitativa, optando pela entrevista semiestruturada, que foi realizada com mulheres em situação de violência doméstica e familiar, agressores e implementadores de políticas públicas e serviços de atendimento, totalizando 24 entrevistados. A análise da pesquisa foi realizada pelo processo de categorização e agrupamento de conteúdos semelhantes. Utilizando-se da análise de conteúdo foram elencadas as seguintes categorias de análises: representações sociais do significado da violência; os tipos de violência, fatores motivacionais e os motivos para continuar na relação violenta; a culpabilização da mulher pela violência e; percepções sobre os serviços de atendimento. Evidenciou-se que o significado da violência é distinto para cada pessoa. A maioria das mulheres em situação de violência e os agressores expressaram as formas de violência como significado. Os tipos de violência mais citados foram a física e a psicológica. O uso abusivo de álcool e outras drogas foram os fatores representados como desencadeadores da violência. Já no grupo dos implementadores aparece também o machismo, a questão cultural e a sociedade patriarcal como causas da violência. O medo da solidão, a depressão, a dependência financeira da mulher, os filhos, a esperança de mudança no comportamento do agressor, a falta de empoderamento da mulher, a religião, dentre outros, são os motivos apontados nas representações sociais para as mulheres permanecerem na relação violenta. A culpabilização da mulher pelo seu comportamento aparece em vários relatos dos agressores, como justificativa das agressões. Muitas mulheres entrevistadas também expressaram sentimentos de culpa pela violência sofrida. As mulheres percebem os serviços de atendimento como sendo insuficientes e fragmentados, não tiveram acesso a atendimento psicossocial. Os agressores que participam de um grupo de reabilitação expressaram que as reuniões lhes proporcionaram mudança no comportamento. A maioria dos implementadores aponta os serviços aos quais fazem parte, como efetivos, como o projeto que trabalha com a reabilitação dos agressores, contudo, ao falar da rede de atendimento, as percepções são negativas.Domestic and family violence against women is a recurring social problem, which became more visible in the 1980s, influenced by the Feminist Movement. It is currently considered as one of the forms of violation of Human Rights. With the approval of Law 11.340/2006, domestic violence against women is no longer treated as a crime of less offensive potential, increasing the punishment of aggressions and typifying situations of domestic violence. Based on the assumption that the understanding of the phenomenon of domestic and family violence can contribute to the formulation and implementation of public policies and, that social representations help in this understanding, as well as the scarcity of studies in the state of Rondônia, this thesis has as general objective to understand the social representations of women domestic and family violence situations, aggressors and implementers of public policies on the domestic and family violence and, perceptions about care services. In order to carry out this study, the qualitative approach was used, opting for the semi-structured interview, which was performed with women in situations of domestic and family violence, aggressors and implementers of public policies and services, totaling 24 interviewed. The analysis of the research was carried out by the process of categorization and grouping of similar contents, using content analysis. Using the content analysis the following categories of analysis were listed: social representations of the meaning of violence; the types of violence, motivational factors and reasons to continue in the violent relationship; the blame of women for violence; perceptions about care services. It has been shown that the meaning of violence is distinct for each person. Most women in situations of violence and the aggressors expressed the forms of violence as meaning. The types of violence that were most cited were physical and psychological. The abusive use of alcohol and other drugs were the factors represented as the triggering of violence. Already in the group of implementers also appears the machismo, the cultural question and the patriarchal society as causes of the violence. The fear of loneliness, the depression, the financial dependence on women, the children, the hope for of change in the aggressor's behavior, the lack of women's empowerment, the religion, among others, are the motives pointed out in the social representations for women to remain in the violent relationship. The blame of the woman for her behavior appears in several reports of the aggressors, as justification of the aggressions. Many women interviewed also expressed guilty feelings for the violence suffered. The women perceive the services of attendance as insufficient and fragmented, they did not have access to psychosocial care. Aggressors who participate in a rehabilitation group, expressed that the meetings provided them with a change in behavior. Most implementers point out the services to which they are part, as effective, such as the project that works with the rehabilitation of the aggressors, however, when talking about the service network, the perceptions are negative
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
