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
Genusperspektiv på gröna jobb i Norden : Samlade resultat från NIKK 2020-2022
No full textNordiska ministerrådet har antagit visionen att Norden till 2030 ska vara världens mest hållbara och integrerade region. Detta kunskapsunderlag belyser en rad rapporter som med hjälp av genusanalyser bidrar till att förstå utmaningarna med den gröna omställningen. Underlaget presenterar fem tematiska ingångar till gröna jobb och avslutas med en sammanfattning samt nyckelbudskap. Syftet med underlaget är att påvisa kopplingar mellan frågor som rör könsuppdelade utbildningsval och könssegregering på arbetsmarknaden, normer kring kompetens och fördelningen av omsorgsarbete, i förhållande till omställningen till gröna jobb. Förhoppningen är att det ska bidra till fördjupade nordiska perspektiv på aktuella frågeställningar, samt i förlängningen till hållbara lösningar för samhällsutvecklingen i Norden.
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
Klimat, kön och konsumtion : En forskningsöversikt med genusperspektiv på hållbara livsstilar
No full textHållbar produktion och konsumtion, mål 12 i Agenda 2030, har identifierats som ett område där de nordiska länderna har störst utmaningar i arbetet för hållbar utveckling. Det internationella forskningsläget kring klimatpåverkan av individers konsumtionsmönster visar att faktorer som kön, inkomst och etnicitet har ett stort förklaringsvärde, liksom att ojämlikhet i sig leder till ökade utsläpp från konsumtion. I projektet Hållbarhet, livsstil och konsumtion med genusperspektiv, inom programmet för hållbara livsstilar i Norden, har NIKK tagit fram en forskningsöversikt som synliggör och utmanar könsstereotyper i förhållande till konsumtion och livsstil i förhållande till: 1) livsmedel, 2) bostad och energi, 3) kläder och konsumtionsvaror, 4) transporter, 5) arbete och tidsanvändning, 6) kultur och turism, 7) aktivism och påverkan
Climate, Youth and Gender : Inclusion strategies for Nordic youth movements
No full textYoung people are vital agents for a just green transition, but participation varies across social identities and backgrounds. Men and boys tend to be less interested in both sustainability and gender equality. How can organisations strengthen the conscious and committed, while also bringing underrepresented voices to the table? This report analyses experiences of young people in Nordic nonprofit organisations from a gender and climate perspective. It identifies clear patterns and obstacles and considers key approaches to enabling more inclusive youth movements.
