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
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
Sexuality and asperger's syndrome: reflections for science teaching
No full textThis dissertation presents the research carried out in order to analyze pedagogical possibilities that help the educator to promote the teaching of students with Asperger's Syndrome in the science area. The sexuality theme was selected because it is still considered a taboo in society and even more so when it comes to students with specific needs. In the case of Asperger's Syndrome, its dyad of deficits: communicational, social and linguistic interaction asks the educator some questions about which strategies to approach this topic to students. In this way, one of the strategies that can assist in the development is the theoretical-methodological proposal called teaching by investigation following the steps of Carvalho (2013) associated with a Vigotskian vision, that is, having the concern with the characteristics of the current society and, for on the other hand, the students' own characteristics, in order to collaborate with their development. The investigation, defined as intervening, was carried out with a teacher and high school students from the 1st year of a State School of Professional Education in Dom Pedrito / RS., Sought to understand the educator's perceptions regarding the approach of sexuality to students with Syndrome by Asperger and other members of this class, through a pedagogical practice carried out by the science education teacher. This study aimed to mediate the construction of a pedagogical practice in Science Teaching from a perspective of Sexuality and Asperger's Syndrome and to understand the main difficulties that the educator face in addressing the sexuality theme with a student with Asperger's Syndrome in Science Education.Esta dissertação apresenta a investigação realizada a fim de analisar possibilidades pedagógicas que auxiliem o educador a promover o ensinamento de estudantes com Síndrome de Asperger na área de ciências. O tema sexualidade foi selecionado por ainda ser considerado um tabu na sociedade e mais ainda quando se trata de estudante com necessidades específicas. No caso da Síndrome de Asperger, a sua díade de défices: comunicacional, interação social e linguístico coloca ao educador algumas questões sobre quais as estratégias de abordagem deste tema aos estudantes. Desta forma, uma das estratégias que pode auxiliar no desenvolvimento é a proposta teórico- metodológica denominada ensino por investigação seguindo os passos da Carvalho (2013) associada a uma visão vigotskiana, ou seja, tendo a preocupação com as características da sociedade atual e, por outro lado, as próprias características dos estudantes, a fim de colaborar com seu desenvolvimento. A investigação, definida como de interveção, foi desenvolvida com professora e alunos do Ensino Médio de 1º ano de uma Escola Estadual de Educação Profissional de Dom Pedrito/RS, buscou compreender as percepções da educadora face à abordagem do tema sexualidade ao estudante com Síndrome de Asperger e demais integrantes desta turma, através de uma prática pedagógica realizada pela educadora do ensino de ciências. Este estudo apresentou como objetivos mediar a construção de uma prática pedagógica no Ensino de Ciências numa perspectiva de Sexualidade e Síndrome de Asperger e compreender as principais dificuldades que o educador enfrentam em abordar o tema sexualidade com estudante com Síndrome de Asperger no Ensino de Ciências
