Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
Mapeamento de tecnologias informacionais sobre dados abertos em saúde pública: destino de repasses financeiros federais
No full textThe Brazilian public health is hightlighted in the media. The discourse wich covers various social actors, the quality of public health services provided to citizens, raises questions such as the destination of the application of financial transfers from the Federal Government. The construction of mechanisms, via the Information and Communication Technologies, allow to these actors relate the governmental resources with their respective destinations, leads to an expansion of the public on monitoring the State's actions in this sector and so increases the possibilities of citizen participation in the mechanisms of control over the state as the monitoring of activities and processes of government. In this scenario, it is also important to ensure that access to such informations be open to any public and that data on this topic meet the principles of open data, which ensures the building, outside the public administration and their official websites, graphics and views and crossing these data with other information sources. The goal of this study is to identify, on the official sites of the Federal Government, existing technological resources to the process of providing data of government financial transfers destiny intended for public health and proposal of a prototype as a reference for the construction of technological resources for locating sources of data on allocation of financial resources for public health. The established methodology is exploratory analysis of the four official Federal Government sites, found through searches on search engine: the National Treasury Secretariat (Treasure Ministry), the National Health Fund (Health Ministry), the portal transparency of the Federal Government (Union Comptroller General)...

A discussão, que abarca diversos atores sociais, da qualidade dos serviços de saúde pública prestados aos cidadãos, levanta questionamentos tais como o destino da aplicação dos repasses de recursos financeiros oriundos do Governo Federal. A construção de mecanismos, via Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação, que permitam a esses atores relacionar recursos financeiros governamentais com o seus respectivos destinos, leva a ampliação do acompanhamento público sobre as ações do Estado neste setor e aumenta tanto as possibilidades de participação do cidadão nos mecanismos de controle sobre o Estado quanto o acompanhamento das atividades e processos da administração pública.

O objetivo geral deste estudo é identificar, em sítios oficiais do Governo Federal, recursos tecnológicos existentes com a finalidade de tornar acessíveis os dados governamentais sobre o encaminhamento dos repasses financeiros destinados a área da saúde pública e a apresentação de protótipo como elemento de referência para construção de recursos tecnológicos que permitam a localização de fontes de dados sobre destino de recursos financeiros destinados à saúde pública.

Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe 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
Full text linkWe 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
