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

"A Government of Men": Responsible Government and the Rule of Law in the Progressive Era
No full textThe Massachusetts Constitution of 1780 famously declares that the principle of the separation of powers will bind the commonwealth, “to the end it may be a government of laws and not of men.” The idea of “a government of laws” expresses the Enlightenment ideal of an impersonal form of rule that substitutes abstract justice for the capriciousness of personal rule and is associated with two distinguishing features of American constitutionalism: the separation of powers and judicial review of administration and legislation. A century after Adams wrote, however, the ideal of “a government of laws” came under attack by a new trend in political thought. In place of a government of laws, a group of turn-of-the-century thinkers that included Woodrow Wilson, Frank Goodnow, Henry Jones Ford, and Herbert Croly advocated a system of government that, by uniting rather than separating legislative and executive power and by reducing judicial control of government, sought to enable an elected executive to hold real responsibility and, accordingly, to be held responsible by voters—what some of them called “a government of men.” Their vision of government was encapsulated in the idea of responsible government. The archetype of responsible government was British parliamentarism, or responsible cabinet government. As theorized and advocated by the American school of responsible government, a range of reform ideas from presidential representation, the unitary executive, and the executive budget, to weakened judicial review of legislation and even, for some, the popular recall of state governor, properly understood, were part of a project to establish some approximation of parliamentary government within the constraints of the American context—what is here called “parliamentarism with American characteristics.” This dissertation offers the first full account of that project.
It does so in six chapters. Chapter 1 begins the story in the 1880s with the idea of formally parliamentarizing the American constitution by giving cabinet members seats in Congress, famously supported by a young Woodrow Wilson but also less famously by Gamaliel Bradford in a modified form. Chapter 2 follows Wilson in his pivot away from the Cabinet-in-Congress idea towards ways of achieving responsible government within the existing system through transformation of the presidency. It traces the development of this idea of responsible presidential government in the writings of James Bryce, Ford, Wilson, and Croly in the context of the transformation of the presidency by the three “progressive presidents,” Roosevelt, Taft, and Wilson. Chapter 3 considers how the principle of responsible presidential government extended from the executive’s leadership of the legislature to its control over the administration in Frank Goodnow’s pioneering scholarship in public administration and administrative law. Chapter 4 extends the analysis to the judicial power by asking just how far the school of responsible government meant to take its critique of a “government of laws” through an examination of the diversity of their views on judicial review of legislation and administration. Chapter 5 situates the school of responsible government in the context of the progressive-era debate over direct democracy and representative government, exploring their varying assessments of the direct primary, initiative, referendum, and recall. Chapter 6 offers an account of the New York Constitutional Convention of 1915, which under the leadership of Henry Stimson synthesized the main principles of responsible government as developed by the figures studied in chapters 1-5 and applied them in a concrete set of constitutional amendment proposals.Governmen
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
