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
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
Ecoar a voz de mnemósine ou a comunicação e as instituições culturais
No full textPartindo dos pressupostos que determinado objecto de arte e de cultura encerra em si uma mensagem e que o museu, como qualquer outra instituição cultural, é um espaço comunicacional por excelência; assumindo o papel de emissor face a um público receptor, plural e diversificado, este trabalho analisa a forma como as instituições culturais facultam as informações necessárias para a descodificação e interpretação do bem ou experiência cultural. Com base nas teorias do Marketing e do Marketing das Artes e da Cultura, procede-se à observação das formas e ferramentas usadas, e à apreciação da sua aplicabilidade ao domínio museológico e cultural. O objecto fulcral do estudo é a análise da comunicação entre a instituição cultural e, em particular o museu e os seus públicos, reais e potenciais, de forma a fidelizá-los ou a seduzi-los para os bens e as experiências de que podem usufruir, pelo que a publicidade é a forma de comunicação mais observada.Based on the assumption that a particular object of art and culture carries with it a message and that the museum, as any other cultural institution, is a communication site by excellence; assuming the role of issuer role against a public receiver, plural and diversified, this study analyses the way as the necessary information for decode and interpret the object or cultural experience are provided by the cultural institutions. Based on the theories of Marketing and Marketing of the Arts and Culture, we proceed to the observation of forms and tools used, and in what way they are applied into the museum and cultural domain. The central object of the study is an analysis of the communication between the cultural institution, in particular the museum and its public, having as a goal seizing and gathering the public for the objects and sensations that they can provide

Café Cultural : a recuperação do "vintage" na era da contemporaneidade
Full text linkA pós-modernidade foi um conceito cultural, filosófico e sociológico estabelecido e
datado do último quartel do século XX, que emergiu na chamada sociedade pósindustrial.
Foi um modo de estar e ser que criou novos intermediários sociais e culturais,
de onde emergiu uma sociedade centrada no consumo.
A contemporaneidade, também designada como pós-pós-modernidade, geração milénio
ou era da tecnologia, surgiu no virar do milénio, e corresponde à geração atual centrada
nos benefícios da tecnologia, cada vez mais individualista e com os modelos de
sociabilidade alterados, comparativamente a gerações precedentes.
O objetivo deste projeto é trazer a essência dos cafés culturais, para assim aproximar a
sociedade de atividades culturais, sociedade tecnológica, na qual se torna importante
criar hábitos culturais que causem também um desprendimento tecnológico, ainda que
não total, pois a tecnologia e a interculturalidade podem ser uma combinação exequível
e compatível.
Nesse sentido, o objeto de estudo é a criação de um café cultural, onde através da
combinação da tecnologia, cultura e sociabilidade na contemporaneidade, se possa
recuperar a sociabilidade perdida pela tecnologia e aproveitar a ligação eficaz que se
pode retirar dos binómios arte e tecnologia, indústrias criativas e culturais.Post modernity was a cultural, philosophical and sociological concept established and
dating from the last quarter of the 20th century, which emerged in the so-called postindustrial
society. It was a way of being and be that created new social and cultural
intermediaries, from which emerged a consumer-centric society.
Contemporaneity, also referred to as post-post-modernity, Millennium generation or era
of technology arose at the turn of the Millennium, and corresponds to the present
generation focused on the benefits of technology, more and more individualistic and
with models of sociability changed compared to previous generations.
The goal of this project is to bring the essence of cultural cafes, so as to approach the
society to the cultural activities, technological society, in which becomes important to
create cultural habits that cause also a technological detachment, though not total,
because technology and interculturality can be a feasible and compatible combination.
In this sense, the object of study is the creation of a cultural café, where through the
combination of technology, culture and sociability in contemporary times, you can
recover the lost sociability by technology and take advantage of the effective connection
that we can take from combination of the concepts art and technology, creative and
cultural industries
