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
Conhecimentos mobilizados por futuros professores de matemática em um contexto de práticas formativas na perspectiva inclusiva
Get PDFGiven the urgency of rethinking teacher education in relation to the knowledge necessary for
teaching Mathematics from an inclusive perspective, this research sought to investigate what
knowledge is mobilized by undergraduates who experience training practices in an inclusive
perspective. With a qualitative approach, this research is characterized as a training-research,
whose data were produced in the scope of two disciplines with a workload totally dedicated to
practice as a curricular component. These disciplines, developed in two academic semesters,
were planned in collaboration with the instructor/advisor, with the aim of providing training
practices in an inclusive perspective. To enable the analysis of the training process, audio and
video recordings, photographic images and materials produced by the students were used. Data
analysis was based on the concept of knowledge, especially on the Mathematics Teacher
Specialized Knowledge (MTSK) model. The findings indicate that by providing training
practices in an inclusive perspective, especially those that value the presence of the basic
education teacher as a co-trainer and that consider the inclusive school context also as a field
of training, the future teacher mobilizes both Specialized Teacher Knowledge of Mathematics
(MTSK), and Specific Knowledge for the teaching of Mathematics in the Inclusive perspective
(CEMI), predominantly those related to pedagogical content knowledge. The future teachers
understood the importance of including students with Special Educational Needs (SEN) in the
regular classroom, the need for training of education professionals (teachers and school) and
the importance of regent teachers working in partnership with Support Teachers and Interpreters
of Libras, which also require qualification. They were also able to conclude that studying,
experiencing, researching, elaborating, creating and developing new methodologies and
resources can help in the teaching and learning process of Mathematics for students with SEN.
The work developed enabled the undergraduates to mobilize and build knowledge about
teaching, in conjunction with practice. Thus, the two disciplines played an important role in the
for-the-practice knowledge of a teacher who can work with students with SEN. The training
practices and the moments of performance at the school proved to be a favorable context for
the development of specific knowledge of the teaching profession. However, teaching in this
direction requires a lot of dedication from the teacher trainer, as it requires hard work, seeking
links with the school and teachers, in addition to a great willingness to learn. In this context, on
the one hand, the participation of the teacher/advisor made it possible for her to learn about
inclusion and reflect on her practice as a trainer, on the other hand, the participation of the
researcher teacher allowed reflections on her own inclusive practices, in the classrooms where
she acts, in addition to new knowledge about working as a teacher trainer in an inclusive
perspective.Diante da urgência de se repensar a formação de professores em relação aos conhecimentos
necessários para o ensino de Matemática na perspectiva inclusiva, esta pesquisa buscou
investigar que conhecimentos são mobilizados por licenciandos que vivenciam práticas
formativas na perspectiva inclusiva. De abordagem qualitativa, esta pesquisa se caracteriza
como uma pesquisa-formação, cujos dados foram produzidos no âmbito de duas disciplinas
com carga horária totalmente dedicada a prática como componente curricular. Tais disciplinas,
desenvolvidas em dois semestres letivos, foram planejadas em colaboração com a
professora/orientadora, com o intuito de propiciar práticas formativas na perspectiva inclusiva.
Para possibilitar a análise do processo formativo utilizou-se gravações em áudio e vídeo,
imagens fotográficas e materiais produzidos pelos licenciandos. A análise dos dados
fundamenta-se no conceito de conhecimento, em especial no modelo do Conhecimento
Especializado do Professor de Matemática (MTSK). Os resultados indicam que ao propiciar
práticas formativas na perspectiva inclusiva, em especial aquelas que valorizem a presença do
professor da educação básica como co-formador e que considerem o contexto escolar inclusivo
também como campo dessa formação, o futuro professor mobiliza tanto Conhecimentos
Especializados do Professor de Matemática (MTSK), quanto Conhecimentos Específicos para
o ensino de Matemática na perspectiva Inclusiva (CEMI), predominantemente aqueles
relacionados aos conhecimentos pedagógicos de conteúdo. Os licenciandos compreenderam a
relevância de incluir alunos com Necessidades Educacionais Especiais (NEE) na sala de aula
regular, a necessidade da capacitação dos profissionais da educação (professores e escola) e a
importância de os professores regentes trabalharem em parceria com Professores de Apoio e
Intérpretes de Libras, os quais também necessitam de qualificação. Também foram capazes de
concluir que estudar, vivenciar, pesquisar, elaborar, criar e desenvolver novas metodologias e
recursos pode auxiliar no processo de ensino e aprendizagem da Matemática para alunos com
NEE. O trabalho desenvolvido possibilitou aos licenciandos mobilizar e construir
conhecimentos sobre a docência, em articulação com a prática. Desse modo, as duas disciplinas
cumpriram um papel importante no conhecimento para-a-prática de um professor que pode
atuar com alunos com NEE. As práticas formativas e os momentos de atuação na escola se
mostraram um contexto favorável para o desenvolvimento de conhecimentos específicos da
profissão docente. Contudo, ensinar nessa direção requer muita dedicação do professor
formador, pois exige um trabalho árduo, de buscar articulações com a escola e os professores,
além de muita disposição para aprender. Nesse contexto, por um lado, a participação da
professora/orientadora possibilitou que ela aprendesse sobre inclusão e refletisse sobre sua
prática de formadora, por outro lado, a participação da professora pesquisadora possibilitou
reflexões sobre suas próprias práticas inclusivas, nas salas de aula em que atua, além de novos
conhecimentos sobre o trabalho como formadora de professores na perspectiva inclusiva
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.
