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
Anglo-Saxon burials from Shrewton, Wiltshire, England, with particular reference to a gold pendant and an openwork girdle-hanger
No full textTwo Anglo-Saxon graves from Shrewton, England, one recorded in 1968 and another published in 1812, are reviewed.The high status of these burials is demonstrated in the recovery of a rare gold pendant and a copper-alloy openworkgirdle-hanger. The iconography of the bracteate pendant, with its unusual anthropomorphic figure holding snakes, isconsidered in the context of similar images. The girdle-hanger is described together with the distribution, dating,function and associations of this class of copper-alloy object. Comparable perforated antler/‘bone’ discs are treatedsimilarly and English parallels for both are presented as a catalogue. The location of the graves and details relating tothe 1812 record are reassessed
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
Neighbours and networks: funerary trends among cremation practicing groups in early medieval England and north-western Europe
No full textOur understanding of the cremation rite in early Anglo-Saxon England (5th-mid 6th century A.D.) has become clearer over recent years owing to detailed osteological and artefact studies of large cemetery sites. Typically, these sites are studied in isolation or on a local or national scale. Through an examination of material culture, the recent publication of the final Spong Hill volume by Hills and Lucy (2013) has shown that there is a clear association in terms of cremation practicing communities in early medieval England and north-western Europe, specifically the areas of Schleswig-Holstein and Elbe-Weser. In the light of new and existing demographic and artefactual data from contemporary cremation cemeteries in eastern England, this paper aims to highlight funerary rites that were shared between cemeteries in England and those on the Continent. Four central themes will be explored throughout the course of this chapter: the demographic profile of cemetery populations, the multiple burial rite, the display of identity through grave provisions and the internal organisation of cemeteries, and the cremation process and post-cremation rites. The purpose of this paper is not to provide an in-depth assessment of shared artefacts found in England and on the Continent (as seen in Hills and Lucy, 2013) but instead aims to explore prevailing cremation traditions and newly established customs upon the migration of Germanic groups to Britain in the fifth century A.D
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
