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
Kształtowanie tożsamości etnicznej studentów lwowskiego regionu uniwersyteckiego
Get PDFIn the article the concept of “ethnic identity” is considered, its types are described. The perception of ethnic identity depends on the environment (polyethnic or monoethnic) which a person lives in. The conducted research on psychological features of ethnic identity of students of universities of Lviv region showed that the subjects are characterized by low and lower average levels of ethnonigilism, as well as low and middle levels of ethnic isolation. Students with a lower level of ethnonigilism have a higher level of external control than those with a lower level than average. Persons with a low level of ethnic isolation have a higher level of ethnic indifference and a desire for social status when compared to those with an average level of ethnic isolation.W artykule rozważane jest pojęcie „tożsamości etnicznej”, opisano jego typy. Od tego, w jakim polietnicznym lub jednoetnicznym otoczeniu żyje osoba, zależy uświadomienie sobie przynależności etnicznej. Przeprowadzone badania psychologicznych cech tożsamości etnicznej studentów uniwersytetów we Lwowie ukazały, że charakteryzują się oni niskim i średnim poziomem etnonigilizmu, a także niskim i średnim poziomem izolacji etnicznej. Studenci o niższym poziomie etnonigilizmu mają wyższy poziom kontroli zewnętrznej niż osoby o poziomie niższym niż przeciętny. Osoby o niskim poziomie izolacji etnicznej mają wyższy poziom obojętności etnicznej i pragnienie statusu społecznego niż osoby o średnim poziomie izolacji etnicznej
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
Філософсько-педагогічні рефлексії Лесі Українки
No full textThe scientific novelty of this research lies in the analysis of the evolution of of the prominent Ukrainian poetess Lesya Ukrainka’s philosophical and pedagogical opinions, which reflect the change in her worldview as well as moral and spiritual ideals: from a nationally focused to a universal vision, from philanthropic motives to a modernist understanding of reality; and the actualisation of the presented ideas in the context of modern educational challenges. The authors’ scientific research allows stating that her works are dominated by and affirm human dreams about the need for the unity of the beauty of nature and humanity, as well as the harmonization of human relations based on spirituality and freedom. The author of a large number of poetic and prose works is characterized by non-classical thinking in analysing the existence of her native people, a historical and philosophical awareness of their place and role in the universal context. In this sense, Lesya Ukrainka’s reflections acquire a high humanistic meaning, they are shrouded in romanticism, and to a large extent, figurative myth-making. This is especially evident in the dramatic work “Forest Song” and many others. The article also analyses the social and state ideas of the thinker, who argues that national and social liberation is possible only under conditions of decisive actions of the most conscious strata of the people. The author proves that the path of freedom and independence is a very difficult, controversial, and long-term process, but it leads to the establishment of independence, identity, and statehood. Lesya Ukrainka’s philosophical meanings are characterised by spiritual, moral, and aesthetic contexts. It is worth noting that these contexts are primarily embodied in the native word, which the poetess calls ‘fiery’, because it ignites goodness, beauty, and truth in people who are pure in spirit and capable of radiating this light. Lesya Ukrainka’s cultural, educational, scientific and pedagogical reflections are both didactic and educational in nature, based on the ‘philosophy of the heart’, which was founded by the brilliant Ukrainian philosopher and educator Hryhorii Skovoroda. Thus, Lesya Ukrainka’s legacy is of scientific and cultural significance, shaping the philosophical and pedagogical tradition of Ukraine.Наукова новизна цього дослідження полягає в аналізі еволюції філософсько-педагогічних поглядів української поетеси Лесі Українки, що відображають зміну її світоглядних орієнтирів і морально-духовних ідеалів: від національно зосередженого до загальнолюдського бачення, від філантропічних мотивів до модерністського осмислення реальності; та актуалізації представлених ідей у контексті сучасних освітніх викликів. Дослідницькі пошуки авторів дозволяють констатувати, що у її працях домінують й утверджуються людські мрії про необхідність єдності краси природи і людини, гармонізації людських відносин на основі духовності і свободи. Значній кількості поетичних і прозових творів видатної мислительки притаманне некласичне мислення в аналізі буття рідного народу, історико-філософське усвідомлення його місця і ролі у загальнолюдському контексті. У такому розумінні рефлексії Лесі Українки набувають високого гуманістичного смислу, вони оповиті романтикою, значною мірою образною міфотворчістю (особливо яскраво це помітно у драматичному творі «Лісова пісня» та ін.). У дослідженні також презентовано суспільно-державницькі ідеї відомої громадської діячки, яка доводить, що національне і соціальне визволення можливе лише за умов рішучих дій найбільш свідомих верств народу. Обґрунтовано, що шлях свободи, незалежності є надто важким, суперечливим, довготривалим процесом, але саме він веде до утвердження самостійності, самобутності, державності. Зазначено, що філософські смисли Лесі Українки характеризуються душевно-духовними, морально-естетичними контекстами; при цьому ці контексти у своїй основі втілюються передусім у рідному слові, яке поетеса називає «вогнистим», бо воно запалює до добра, краси, істини чистих духом людей, що здатні випромінювати це світло. Доведено, що культурно-освітні, науково-педагогічні рефлексії Лесі Українки носять як дидактичний, так і виховний характер, в основу їх покладено «філософію серця», яку започаткував геніальний український філософ і педагог – Григорій Сковорода. З’ясовано, що спадщина Лесі Українки має наукову та культурну значущість, формуючи філософську та педагогічну традицію України
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
