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
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
Construindo resistência: Um centro social autogerido em Lisboa
Get PDFO Covil é um centro social autogerido em Lisboa. Centro anarquista e ligado à cena punk lisboeta, é
um espaço singular, situado numa zona da cidade ainda pouco estudada e com características
particulares e dinâmicas de resistência coletiva. É uma outra Lisboa - geograficamente no centro, mas
ao mesmo tempo nas margens. Uma Lisboa suja e contra-hegemónica, em contraste com a Lisboa da
gentrificação e da estética asséptica. Através de pesquisa etnográfica, será desvendado o que é o Covil
e o que ele representa na cidade e para as pessoas que o constroem e lhe dão vida quotidianamente.
A análise teórica terá um duplo foco nas vertentes urbana e cultural, procurando enquadrar as
dinâmicas de resistência que se manifestam no Covil e sobre as quais a pesquisa incide. Na vertente
urbana, olhar-se-á para a gentrificação e as suas complexidades e para alguns conceitos relevantes
relativos à resistência e às culturas urbanas. Na vertente cultural, propondo um olhar crítico e
construindo também sobre o conhecimento existente acerca das subculturas de forma mais geral,
importa olhar para o punk e a sua ligação com o anarquismo e movimentos sociais. O Covil serve como
um excelente espaço para compreender e problematizar diferentes fenómenos urbanos, culturais e
políticos que nele se entrecruzam. Pólo de resistência, ainda que com obstáculos, é um espaço de
desenvolvimento e emancipação coletiva e pessoal de grande importância e vitalidade.Covil is a self-managed social centre in Lisbon. An anarchist centre and connected to Lisbon's punk
scene, it is a singular space, located in a still understudied area of the city, one with particular
characteristics and dynamics of collective resistance. It is another Lisbon - geographically in the centre,
but at the same time in the margins. A dirty and counter-hegemonic Lisbon, in contrast with the Lisbon
of gentrification and aseptic aesthetics. Through ethnographic research, we will unveil what Covil is
and what it represents in the city and to the people who build it and make it come to life on a daily
basis. The theoretical analysis will have a double focus on the urban and cultural strands, seeking to
frame the dynamics of resistance which manifest themselves at Covil and on which the research
focuses. In the urban strand, we will look at gentrification and its complexities and at some relevant
concepts related to urban resistance and cultures. In the cultural strand, proposing a critical outlook
and building upon the existing knowledge on subcultures in a more general way, it is important to look
at punk and its connection with anarchism and social movements. Covil serves as an excellent space
to understand and problematize different urban, cultural and political phenomena which intertwine in
it. An epicentre of resistance, albeit with obstacles, it is a space of collective and personal development
and emancipation of great importance and vitality
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
