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
O movimento estudantil como espaço dialógico de formação
Get PDFMonografia (graduação)—Universidade de Brasília, Faculdade de Educação, 2008.Este Trabalho Final de Curso de graduação do curso de Pedagogia da Faculdade de Educação na Universidade de Brasília trata de pesquisar o movimento estudantil como um espaço de formação. Para isso, foi baseado na concepção de educação libertadora, a partir principalmente das idéias do educador Paulo Freire, com contribuições de outros autores, destacando Juan Diaz Bordenave. A pesquisa desenvolvida foi a partir de uma perspectiva qualitativa, em que se analisaram as idéias de um grupo pequeno de sujeitos-colaboradores (11 estudantes) que participaram de forma intensa dentro do movimento estudantil. Essa pesquisa foi elaborada com estudantes da Universidade de Brasília, que fizeram seus cursos no período entre 2002 e 2008. Com esse estudo conseguimos sistematizar várias experiências, demonstrando que o movimento estudantil é um espaço efetivo de formação no domínio e construção de saberes, no desenvolvimento de habilidades e competências de expressão e comunicação, de construção coletiva e democrática, de formação política e de cidadania, enfim, de formação humana libertadora.This is a Pedagogy undergraduate conclusion work from Universidade de Brasília, which investigates the educational development inside student activism. This study is based on the free and dialogical concept of education, which has in Paulo Freire its main author. This is a qualitative research and the necessary information to support the theme was gathered from answers from a small group of students that spent a great amount of time in student activism. They are students from Universidade de Brasília and course their undergraduation between 2002 and 2008. This work organized the student’s experiences showing that student movement is an important space to build knowledge, develop communication skills, live a real democracy, educate in politics and citizenship, that is, to create free human beings
Vivências de uma família em contexto de adoção : uma nova leitura do mundo e de apropriação do universo da palavra e dos afetos
Get PDFTrabalho de conclusão de curso (graduação)—Universidade de Brasília, Faculdade de Educação, 2015.Este trabalho é um ensaio que apresenta uma narrativa autobiográfica de uma família que vivencia a adoção. A família é composta pela mãe e autora deste trabalho, o pai e as seis crianças adotadas. O trabalho visa também compreender aspectos do abandono, da institucionalização e da adoção tardia; narrar apontamentos de fatos, sensações e desafios presentes na trajetória de acolhimento e estruturação familiar; analisar as mudanças de perspectiva na leitura de mundo e na escrita da vida da família em contexto de adoção; e refletir sobre as mudanças percebidas na vida escolar das crianças após a adoção. A teoria da subjetividade de González Rey (2003), que valoriza a capacidade humana de produzir sentidos subjetivos; o conceito de vivência conforme Nietzche (Viesenteiner, 2013); e a abordagem sistêmica da psicologia familiar de Maldonado (2001) e Bucher (1986) atravessam o cenário conceitual deste trabalho, além dos autores diretamente relacionados às temáticas aprofundadas. O ensaio está organizado em três temas: Abandono, Institucionalização e Adoção. Cada tema é desenvolvido em três momentos: o primeiro trata do relato do processo vivenciado pelas crianças e pelos pais adotantes; o segundo traz a experiência subjetiva da autora e mãe; e no terceiro apresenta-se contribuições de ordem teórica que ajudam a compreender a narrativa acerca do processo de adoção vivenciado. Uma leitura do mundo e de apropriação do universo da palavra e dos afetos pela nova família é tecido no decurso da narrativa. Nela se ressalta o direito à infância, construído e conquistado historicamente.This paper is an essay that presents an autobiographical narrative of a family that experiences the adoption. The family consists of the mother and author of this work, father and six adopted children. The work also aims to understand aspects of abandonment, institutionalization and the late adoption; notes narrate facts, feelings and challenges present in the trajectory of reception and family structure; analyze the prospect of changes in the world of reading and family life written in adoption of context; and reflect on the changes perceived in the school life of children after adoption. The theory of subjectivity González Rey (2003), which values the human capacity to produce subjective senses; the idea of living as conceptualized by Nietzsche (Viesenteiner, 2013); and systemic approach of family psychology Maldonado (2001) and Bucher (1986) cross the conceptual approach of this work, other than the authors directly related to depth issues. The test is organized into three themes: abandonment, institutionalization and adoption. Each theme is developed in three stages: the first deals with the story of the process experienced by children and adopting parents; the second brings the subjective experience of the author and mother; and the third presents contributions of theoretical order to help you understand the narrative about the experienced adoption process. A reading of the world and word universe of ownership and affects the new family is woven into the narrative course. It is emphasized the right to childhood, built and achieved historically
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
