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
Hungry in Three Languages : (Un)Conscious Youth Efforts at Crossing Ethnonational Divisions in Post-Dayton Bosnia and Herzegovina
Get PDFAfter the Dayton Accords ended the war in Bosnia in 1995, painful ethnic divisions remained-and remain-across the country. Separation of the populace along ethnic lines was deemed by Dayton\u27s architects to be the most effective way to keep the peace, and the traumatic memory of violence and ethnic cleansing legitimized such separation to many citizens at the time. Twenty five years later however, the divisions in Bosnian society that contributed to the outbreak of war in 1992 have only been further legitimized by the Dayton constitution, resulting in social stagnation and an inability to reconcile with the past. Bosnia remains a quasi-protectorate of the UN. Economic malaise, in large part a product of corruption and an unsuccessful attempt at rebuilding a war torn economy (under the clumsy management of the international community) has created widespread unemployment and discontent, which culminated in the violent protests in 2014. In this paper, I explore the way in which young Bosnians-Croats and Muslims alike- appear to be crossing the ethnonational divides drawn by traumatic memory and damaging political rhetoric, as well as confronting the deep rooted economic and political stagnation that has plagued the country since 1992
Myth and Guilt in the Other Europe: David Binder\u27s Dissident Reporting on the Collapse of Yugoslavia
Get PDFAs one of the most knowledgeable reporters in the region, David Binder’s career with New York Times lasted more than fifty years, defined by reports on European events from the construction of the Berlin Wall in 1961 to the end of the Cold War and its aftermath. Having a personal and intellectual affinity for Yugoslavia, Binder returned to the region at the end of the 1980’s to report on the growing ethnic friction that followed Tito’s death and the re-emergence of nationalism in the federation’s constituent republics. When Yugoslavia began its slow and violent collapse in 1991, Binder reported on the fighting that broke out between Croatia and Serbia, as well as the war in Bosnia and conflict in Kosovo that followed. What is remarkable about Binder’s reporting in the context of Yugoslavia is his decidedly dissident stance. While international opinion turned against the Serbs and Yugoslav federal government, Binder insisted that the Yugoslav wars were a series of civil wars based on the region’s complex history, ethnic identities and relations, and politics, rather than a war of “Serbian aggression.” Taking such a controversial stance, Binder was forced to turn from the New York Times to other publications such as The Nation, Foreign Policy, and Mediterranean Quarterly to publish his work. Despite the polarization of Binder’s view, his reporting remained remarkably objective throughout his career. Given the complexity of Yugoslavia’s demise, Binder’s reporting is an example of the importance of dissidence
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
