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
Rota D. Dinis: à descoberta de um novo mundo: estratégia de Marketing Digital para atração de turistas ao Pinhal do Rei
Full text linkNo âmbito do Projeto de Dissertação de Mestrado pretendo criar uma estratégia de Marketing
Digital para o Pinhal do Rei, situado na região de Leiria, com o objetivo de colocar esta região no
mapa como um destino de turismo de natureza. Daqui nasce a marca “Rota D. Dinis – À descoberta
de um novo mundo”.
A Rota D. Dinis é uma marca que já se encontra registada por mim e que tem como objetivo
a criação e distribuição de rotas dedicadas ao pedestrianismo, cicloturismo e veículos motorizados a
todos os turistas e habitantes locais.
O mercado turístico português está em constante evolução e este projeto pretende ser
estruturado de forma a atrair investimento nacional para a região do Pinhal Litoral, na medida em que
este se encontra pouco desenvolvido a nível turístico, embora detenha um forte potencial de
crescimento.
Após inquirir alguns autarcas e habitantes locais, é possível comprovar o interesse regional
deste projeto. Se por um lado possibilita um serviço de utilidade pública, por outro, dinamizam-se
diversos sectores de atividade desta região.
As ideias que existem para este projeto podem revitalizar o turismo da região e criar vários
negócios paralelos. Adaptada às exigências económicas que o país exerce, a Rota D. Dinis é um
projeto com futuro e pretende fixar-se como uma referência no mercado nacional e europeu das rotas
turísticas.
Preparada para chegar aos públicos mais exigentes e adeptos das novas tecnologias, a Rota D.
Dinis espera passar, no futuro, pelos dispositivos móveis de todos os adeptos de desporto de natureza,
tanto em Portugal como no resto do mundo.In the scope of the Master Dissertation Project, I intend to create a Digital Marketing strategy
for Pinhal do Rei, located in the region of Leiria, with the objective of placing this region on the map
as a nature tourism destination.
From this is born the brand "Rota D. Dinis - Discovering a new world". Rota D. Dinis is a
brand that is already registered by me and which aims to create and distribute routes dedicated to
walking, cycling and motorized vehicles to all tourists and locals.
The Portuguese tourism market is constantly evolving and this project aims to be structured
in such a way as to attract national investment to the region of Pinhal Litoral, as it is poorly developed
in tourism, although it has a strong potential for growth.
After inquiring some local councilors and local inhabitants, it is possible to prove the regional
interest of this project. If on the one hand it makes possible a public utility service, on the other,
various sectors of activity of this region are boosted. The ideas that exist for this project can revitalize
the tourism of the region and create several parallel businesses.
Adapted to the economic requirements that the country exercises, Rota D. Dinis is a project
with a future and aims to establish itself as a reference in the national and European market of tourist
routes. Prepared to reach the most demanding audiences and followers of new technologies, Rota D.
Dinis expects to pass, in the future, by the mobile devices of all nature sports fans, both in Portugal
and in the rest of the world
