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
An infrastructure-based planning as a model for addressing complexity and uncertainty
Get PDFBook of proceedings: Annual AESOP Congress, Spaces of Dialog for Places of Dignity, Lisbon, 11-14th July, 2017The conception of the Territory, or in other case of the city or the urban as a part of the previous one, as a Complex Evolutionary System, full of diversity and uncertainty due to its continuous transformation, it is clear that it has important implications for Planning. So, if Planning is considered as a way of thinking and future-oriented action based on decisions of a spatial nature taken in the present on a complex and constantly changing system. The main consequence is the impossibility of formulating an allencompassing and finalist Planning, since it is not possible to intervene on all the elements of the system, which are also in continuous evolution and transformation. Then, in a spatial context of strong uncertainty, due to the non-linear combination of different coevolutionary changes, it is not feasible to formulate a finalist image of the territory, or city, for a future time horizon. Therefore, Planning has to change its traditional budgets and accept that in a complex, diverse, evolutionary and uncertain environment its role will be very different. For that reason, Planning must accept that its fundamental objective will be the formulation of alternative solutions for each spatial problem posed, evaluating different evolutionary trajectories of the territory, in order to facilitate and improve collective decision making.Published versio
Las infraestructuras y el planeamiento territorial: escenarios para el debate y aplicación a las regiones urbanas gallegas
Get PDF[Resumo]
A relación entre Infraestruturas do Transporte e desenvolvemento urbano é unha
cuestión central nos procesos de Planeamento Territorial. Por diversas razóns, aínda que
existen experiencias *paradigmáticas, non sempre a Planeamento Territorial foi capaz
de considerar *adecuadamente o papel xogado polas Infraestruturas do Transporte
na construción do territorio e no establecemento da súa estrutura espacial. É por iso
que no marco do territorio - rede actual, no cal as *Infraestruturas do Transporte son
as principais responsables das novas concepcións non *euclidianas do espazo e da
contración espazo - temporal do territorio, é precisa unha nova consideración destas
na elaboración da Planeamento Territorial. Un novo modelo relacional e coevolutivo
co desenvolvemento urbano, que lles outorgue ás Infraestruturas a relevancia debida
na defi nición e *canalización das estratexias territoriais e económicas propostas
na Planeamento Territorial. Neste sentido, unha concepción das Infraestruturas
do Transporte baseada nos diferentes papeis e efectos territoriais (*articulación,
centralidade, linealidade, límite) que xeran pode colaborar na *adopción dunha
maior e integrada consideración das mesmas na Planeamento Territorial a nivel global e, en particular, na súa aplicación ás Rexións Urbanas galegas.[Resumen]

The relation between infrastructures of the Transport and urban development is a
central question in the processes of Territorial Planning. For diverse reasons, though
paradigmatic experiences exist, not always the Territorial Planning has been capable
of considering adequately the paper played by the Infrastructures of the Transport in
the construction of the territory and in the establishment of his spatial structure. It is for
it that in the frame of the territory - current network, in which the Infrastructures of the
Transport are the principal persons in charge of the new not Euclidean conceptions of
the space and of the contraction I spread - temporarily of the territory. A new relational
and co-evolutionary model with the urban development, which grants them to the
Infrastructures the relevancy owed in the defi nition and channeling of the territorial
strategies and economic offers of the Transport based on the different papers and
territorial effects (joint, centrality, linearity, limit) that they generate can collaborate in
the adoption of a major and integrated consideration of the same ones in the Territorial
Planning worldwide and, especially, in his application to the Urban Galician Regions

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
