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

Full text linkEste trabalho acadêmico de monografia objetivou a análise da regulamentação do teletrabalho pela “Reforma trabalhista”, observando as ocorrências e impactos nas condições ambientais laborais, e as consequências na saúde física e psíquica do trabalhador. Com isso avaliou os pontos positivos e negativos do teletrabalho, bem como abordou o contexto de surgimento do instituto do teletrabalho. Ademais, trouxe alguns conceitos conexos ao tele-emprego, e a caracterização e os requisitos desta modalidade laboral. Para tanto, a presente monografia perpassou pela seara dos direitos fundamentais, e da sua respectiva eficácia e concepções, bem como que abarcou as normas internacionais sobre os assuntos tratados neste trabalho acadêmico (meio ambiente laboral e o teletrabalho em si), especificamente as normas portuguesas e francesas, e também a perspectiva da OIT. Com isso, este trabalho científico abordou a questão da vedação ao retrocesso social, a fim de embasar a responsabilidade do empregador, nos acidentes e doenças laborais, ocorridos no âmbito do teletrabalho, independente da existência de “termo de responsabilidade” assinado pelo empregadoThis academic work of monograph aimed the analysis of the regulation of the telework by the “Labor Reform”, observing the occurrences and impacts in the environmental conditions of the work, and the consequences in the worker's physical and psychic health. By this, evaluated the positive and negative points of the telework, as well as it approached the context of appearance of the institute of Telework. Besides, it brought some related concepts of the Telework, and the characterization and the requirements of this work modality. For this purpose, the presente monograph passed by the field of fundamental rights, and the respective effectiveness and conceptions, as well as it embraced the internacional norms about the subjects treated in this academic work (work enviroment and the tekework itself), specifically the Portuguese and French standards, and the perspective of the ILO.With that, this scientific work approached the matter of the prohibition of the social retreat, in order to base the responsability of the employer, in the acidents and diseases of work, happened in the extend of the telework, independent of the existence of a “term of responsability” signed by the employe

Use of Artificial Intelligence in patents: analysis of the legal consequences
No full textThis research sought to analyze the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the development of patents. The research problem refers to the question
of whether AI technology can be considered as an Inventor in itself, and hold a patent: what are the main considerations and arguments for
refusing this idea in the present scenario? Consequently, to achieve this multidisciplinary undertaking to study the interface between AI and patents, it was necessary to apply a perspective also centered on data
analysis, IOT (internet of things), machine learning, Big data and new technologies in the age of the digital revolution, evaluating the algorithmic characteristic of black boxing. In addition, the studies
necessarily covered the contextualization and criteria of legal responsibility, personality rights and contractual relations as fundamental factors to support the thesis discussed here. The studies
briefly addressed the regulatory aspects and legislative policies of AI in the international context, providing a perspective of comparative law.
The work tried to address some of the issues of transparency and ethics involved in this problematic topic, bringing the concept of cui bono to
justify the impossibility of granting a patent to AI. Therefore, this research work encompassed the advantages and disadvantages involved in the AI scenario, demonstrating improved performance and results of its use in the industrial property area, according to business
practices and techniques, and the ethical parameters that must be pursued by society, to develop a transparent and reliable use of AI, as a tool, especially related to the patent system. The conclusions refer to
the legal impossibility of AI to be currently considered as the inventor of a patentable creation.A atual pesquisa objetivou analisar o uso da Inteligência Artificial (IA)
no desenvolvimento de patentes. O problema de pesquisa refere-se ao
questionamento se a tecnologia de IA pode ser considerada como uma
inventora de si mesma, e detentora de uma patente: quais são as
principais considerações e argumentos para recusar essa ideia no
cenário presente? Consequentemente, para alcançar esse
empreendimento multidisciplinar de estudo da interface entre a IA e
patentes, foi necessário aplicar uma perspectiva também centrada na
análise de dados (data mining), na IOT (Internet das coisas), machine
learning (aprendizagem de máquina), Big data e nas novas tecnologias
na era da revolução digital, avaliando-se a característica algorítimica do
black boxing. Além disso, os estudos abarcaram necessariamente a
contextualização e critérios da responsabilidade jurídica, dos direitos de
personalidade e das relações contratuais enquanto fatores
fundamentais para embasar a tese aqui discutida. Os estudos
abordaram sumariamente os aspectos regulatórios e as políticas
legislativas da IA no contexto internacional e comunitário, fornecendo
uma pespectiva de direito comparado; O trabalho tentou abordar
algumas das questões de transparência e éticas envolvidas nesse
problemático tema, trazendo-se o conceito de cui bono para justificar a
impossibilidade de concessão de uma patente à IA. Portanto, este
trabalho de pesquisa contemplou as vantagens e desvantagens
envolvidas no cenário de IA, demonstrando o desempenho e os
resultados aprimorados de seu uso na área de propriedade industrial,
de acordo com práticas e técnicas de negócios, e os parâmetros éticos
que devem ser perseguidos pela sociedade, para desenvolver um uso
transparente e confiável da IA como uma ferramenta especialmente relativa ao sistema de patentes. As conclusões referem-se à impossibilidade jurídica da IA em ser atualmente considerada como inventora de uma criação patenteável
