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
RESIDENTS\u27 PERCEPTIONS OF THE IMPACTS OF MAJOR INTERNATIONAL EVENT ON LOCAL COMMUNITY
Get PDFV magistrski nalogi obravnavamo naravnanost domačinov do velikega mednarodne športnega dogodka v severovzhodni Sloveniji – tradicionalnega tekmovanja za svetovno prvenstvo v motokrosu. V teoretičnem delu konceptualiziramo dogodke nasploh, posebej še športne, in pojasnimo njihov pomen za razvoj turizma. Prikažemo teoretične konstrukte za razumevanje naravnanosti domačinov do dogodkov, kjer posebej izpostavimo dva - teorijo socialne izmenjave in teorijo socialnih predstav. V posebnem poglavju se posvetimo lokalni skupnosti in učinkom velikih športnih dogodkov. Podrobneje analiziramo njihove ekonomske, socio-kulturne in okoljske učinke v luči mednarodnih raziskav, objavljenih v znanstvenih revijah.
V empiričnem delu naloge analiziramo rezultate ankete, to je zaznave in stališča domačinov o treh sklopih učinkov velikega mednarodnega športnega dogodka in njihovega vpliva na lokalno skupnost. Statistično analizo zaznav anketirancev izvedemo z vidika štirih spremenljivk: starosti anketirancev, trajanja bivanja v skupnosti in njihovi oddaljenosti od prizorišča dogodka ter glede na njihovo aktivno udeležbo pri organiziranju dogodka. Ugotavljamo, da anketiranci v celoti zelo visoko ocenijo pozitivne socio-kulturne učinke športnega dogodka, imajo pa ambivalenten odnos do njegovih ekonomskih učinkov. Negativne socio-kulturne učinke dogodka zaznavajo kot manj moteče, podobno tudi njegove negativne okoljske učinke (z izjemo ene spremenljivke – vpliva hrupa).
Raziskavo sklenemo s celovitim ovrednotenjem podpore domačinov tradicionalnemu velikemu mednarodnemu športnemu dogodku, ki ga prirejamo v Sloveniji. Analiza pokaže, da pozitivni učinki dogodka prevladujejo nad negativnimi. Anketirani domačini zelo visoko ocenijo pomen športnega dogodka za lokalno skupnost in v celoti podpirajo njegov nadaljnji razvoj.The aim of this master thesis is to evaluate residents’ perceptions and attitudes toward one of the major international sport events in north eastern Slovenia – the traditional Motocross World Championship Competition. The theoretical part of the study deals with a concept of events in general, with an emphasis on sport events, and explains their importance in the development of tourism. Further, the study presents two theoretical constructs for understanding the residents’ attitudes toward events – the social exchange theory and the social representations theory. A separate chapter is devoted to the local community and to the impacts of major sport events. An in-depth research of economic, socio-cultural, and environmental impacts is done on international surveys published in scientific journals.
In the empirical part, the results of the survey are analysednamely residents’ perceptions and attitudes regarding the three sets of impacts from the major international sports event and their influence on the local community. To conduct the statistical analysis of the respondents’ perceptions, four variables are used: age of the respondents, length of residence, and proximity from the place of event, as well as their active involvement in organizing the event. Results of the study indicate that, overall, respondents highly evaluate the positive socio-cultural impacts of the sport event, but they are ambivalent to its economic impacts. Respondents perceive the negative socio-cultural impacts as less annoying, along with the negative environmental impacts (with the exception of one variable, the traffic noise impact).
Furthermore, the study comprehensively evaluates the residents’ support of the major international sporting event annually held in Slovenia. The analysis shows that the events’ positive impacts outweigh its negative impacts. Respondents highly assess the importance of the sport event on the local community and express a high level of support for its further development
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
