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
Strukturiranje resničnosti v Hodniku in Igri s pari Matjaža Zupančiča s pomočjo postopka igre v igri
Full text linkV diplomskem delu podrobneje obravnavamo drami Hodnik in Igro s pari Matjaža Zupančiča, v katerih nas zanima predvsem način strukturiranja resničnosti. Slednja je grajena s pomočjo postopka igre v igri ali njej podobnimi postopki. Igra v igri je na začetku podrobno definirana skozi poglede Joachima Voigta, teoretika, ki je postopek natančno opredelil in razdelal, ter Barbare Orel, ki nekatere njegove domneve zavrača in jih nadgradi glede na potrebe sodobne dramatike. V nadaljevanju nas zanimata drami. V Hodniku je izpostavljena problematika resničnostnih šovov, pomen hodnika, ki se odraža kot simbol in dejanski prostor ene izmed ravni resničnosti, ter jezik, ki nekatere like ločuje od večine. Nato nas zanimata odraz postopka igre v igri ter pomen manipulacije, ki sam postopek soustvarja. Primerjava teorij Joachima Voigta in Barbare Orel pokaže, da je slednja ustreznejša, saj igro v igri definira tudi kot intermedialni pojav. Igra s pari opozarja zlasti na krizo vrednot, ki jo je mogoče s pomočjo člankov Janeka Muska utemeljiti na primerih drame. Izpostavljene vrednote, na katere se liki največkrat sklicujejo, namigujejo na globlji pomen, ki se skriva v teh navedbah. Ob poskusu utemeljitve postopka igre v igri se izkaže, da je slednjo nemogoče dokazati zaradi pomanjkanja prvega in drugega fiktivnega nivoja. Igra s pari je namreč analitična drama, kjer se pretvarjanje dveh izmed likov lahko v nekaterih elementih približa postopku igre v igri oz. spominja nanj.In the thesis we discuss in detail the two dramas Hodnik and Igra s pari, written by Matjaž Zupančič. We are interested in the way of structuring the reality. The latter is built with the procedure of the "play within the play" or its similar procedures. "Play within the play" is defined by Joachim Voigt, the theoretician, who explained and elaborated on it, and also Barbara Orel, who rejects some of his claims and builds on them according to the needs of the contemporary dramatics. In the continuation we are interested in the two dramas. In Hodnik, there is an issue of the reality shows, the meaning of the hall, which is the symbol and the actual area one of the levels of the reality, and the language, which separates some of the characters from the rest of them. We are also interested in the reflection of the procedure of "play within the play" and the importance of manipulation, which co-creates the procedure itself. The comparison of the two theories of Joachim Voigt and Barbara Orel shows that the latter is more suitable, because it defines the "play within the play" as the intermedium phenomenon. Igra s pari warns us about the crisis of the values, which can be explained with the help of the articles written by Janek Musek and can be found in the examples in the drama. The exposed values, which can be applied to the characters, allude to the deeper value, which can be found in these examples. When we try to explain the procedure of the play, it seems that it is impossible to prove it due to the lack of the first and the second fictional level. Igra s pari is an analytical drama, where the pretence of the two characters can come close to the procedure of the play in some elements or at least it resembles it
