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
Sistema de gestión de datos urbanos para los planeamientos urbanísticos
Get PDFThis document presents the conceptual framework of a methodology for the development of an urban data management system (UDAMS). The system in this document has the aim to present some elements related to establish competitive advantages for urban planners in the elaboration of urban planning. Ithas been carried out in the old area in the District of Sant Andreu del Palomar, Barcelona. We determine the situation of the urban data in this study area, to subsequently propose a methodology that integrates the following elements: urban data collection and storage, UDAMS' design and implementation, analysis of the information collected from the UDAMS and, finally, its validation.
The UDAMS consists of tools used in knowledge management, collaborative urban planning, as well as in calculating urban parameters.The extraction of the necessary knowledge for the elaboration of plans and projects at a district scale or for the improvement of the old area is a combination of tools and some of them are a mixture of design techniques of the knowledge based system, such as the acquisition strategies of structured knowledge by experts in the field. The process is made up of the elaboration of the inventory of knowledge, the elaboration of the knowledge plan and the analysis of the social network.
The collection of the inhabitants' perception is performed on proximity, diversity, autonomy, vitality, representativeness through a generating urban indicators system.This system is based on the areas for social interaction, facilities, pedestrian-friendly streets and the use of retail shops located in the study area.
The methodology employed to analyze the urban parameters is based on the methods and procedures that were useful to calculate the differences in the distribution of the socio-residential characteristics in cities.They were used in studies from different fields like urban geography, sociology, urban economy, demography, urban physics, urban planning, urban morphology, etc.
The results obtained point out that the planners/operators are provided with the basic information online from computer software.However, some of them lack social perception. The results also highlight that time factor of agents becomes an obstacle for the execution process. We found out that, during the process of elaboration of the planning, the execution time does not coincide between inhabitants and planners in some cases. We also found out that the major part of the flow of knowledge in the key processes for the plan or project preparation flows by the technical team of the Department of Urbanism, and the technical team in turn work along with external agents involved in the process.Finally, the Department does not carry out rehabilitation in the field of study, only urban improvement.
Moreover, according to the method of exploration of the perception of citizens in the field of study, the inhabitants mention that car park places are insufficient. In all the field of study, there is a total of 205 green area car park places and 61 blue area ones. We have also found out that, during the process of elaboration of the planning, it is possible to reach an agreement.However, the main problem resides in its execution.When the process of approval of the planning finishes, the conditions or interests in the district have changed, or the institution that carries out the execution of the plan presents economic problems.
Finally, to calculate the urban parameters, we conclude that calleVerdet has narrow or short features for the large number of population that contain the blocks with which adjoins, located between calle Malalts and calle Matagalls. This street is 2.5 meters wide and the adjoining blockshave an estimated population of 189 inhabitants.Este documento presenta el marco conceptual de una metodología para el desarrollo de un sistema de gestión de datos urbanos (SGDU).El sistema que se presenta, con el fin de presentar algunos elementos relacionados a establecer ventajas competitivas para los urbanistas en la elaboración de planeamientos urbanísticos, se lleva a cabo en el Casco Antiguo del Distrito de Sant Andreu del Palomar, Barcelona, donde, se determina la situación de los datos urbanos del área en estudio, para posteriormente se proponer una metodología conformada por los siguientes elementos: recogida de Datos Urbanos, almacenamiento de datos, diseño del SGDU, implementación del SGDU, análisis de la información obtenida del SGDU y finalmente, la validación del SGDU. El SGDU, está compuesto por herramientas utilizadas en gestión de conocimiento, planeación urbanística colaborativa, así como también, cálculo de parámetros urbanísticos.La extracción del conocimiento necesario para la elaboración de los planes y proyectos a escala de barrio o mejora de centro histórico es una combinación de herramientas y algunas mezcla de técnicas de diseño del sistema basado en el conocimiento, tales como las estrategias de adquisición de conocimiento estructurado por expertos en la materia, el proceso consta de elaboración del inventario de conocimiento, la elaboración del mapa del conocimiento y el análisis de la red social. La obtención de la percepción de los habitantes se realiza mediante un sistema de generación indicadores urbanos, en temas de proximidad, diversidad, autonomía, vitalidad, representatividad, y en base a los espacios de relación, equipamientos,red cotidiana y la utilización del comercio localizados en el ámbito de estudio. La metodología empleada para el análisis de parámetros urbanísticos, se basa en los métodos y procedimientos que han servido para medir las diferencias en la distribución de las características socioresidenciales de las ciudades en los estudios de geografía urbana, sociología, económicos urbanas, demográficas, físicos urbanísticos, morfología urbana, etc. Los resultados obtenidos señalan que los planificadores/gestores disponen de información básica en línea desde software informático, pero que algunos de ellos, carecen de la percepción social,también destaca, que el factor tiempo de los agentes es impedimento para el proceso de la ejecución, se ha encontrado que durante el proceso de elaboración de planeamiento, en algunos casos, los tiempos de ejecución del mismo, no coinciden entre los habitantes y los planificadores, también, se ha encontrado que la mayor parte del flujo de conocimiento en los procesos claves para la elaboraciones de los planes o proyectos, fluye por el equipo técnico del Departamento de Urbanismo, y que estos a su vez trabajan junto con los agentes externos involucrados en el proceso, finalmente, el Departamento, no realiza rehabilitación del ámbito de estudio, solo, mejoras urbanas. Además, según el método de exploración para la percepción de los ciudadanos del ámbito de estudio, mencionan que en cuanto al tema de parking, los habitantes perciben que no son suficientes, en todo el ámbito de estudio existen un total de 205 parking zona verde y 61 zona azul, también, se ha encontrado, que durante todo el proceso de elaboración de planeamiento es posible llegar a un acuerdo, pero, el principal problema radica en la ejecución del mismo, por lo que, al terminar el proceso de aprobación del planeamiento, las condiciones o los intereses del barrio han cambiado, o la institución que realiza la ejecución del plan presenta problemas económicos. Y finalmente, para el cálculo de los parámetros urbanísticos, se concluye que la calle Verdet, tiene características estrechas o cortas, para la gran cantidad de población que contienen las parcelas con las que colinda ubicadas entre las calles Malats y Matagalls, esta calle mide 2.5 metros de ancho, y las parcelas colindantes tienen una población estimada de 189 habitantes.DOCTORAT EN GESTIÓ I VALORACIÓ URBANA I ARQUITECTÒNICA (Pla 2012

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
