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
Xarxes polítiques de governança digital en educació
Full text linkTreballs Finals de Grau de Pedagogia, Facultat d'Educació, Universitat de Barcelona, Curs: 2023-2024, Tutor: Geo Saura[cat] La transformació digital de l’educació és un fenomen global que està a l’alça des de finals del segle XX i principis d’aquest segle i que ha experimentat un fort procés d’acceleració després de la pandèmia mundial de la Covid-19. Aquests processos de transformació digital de l’educació comporten un seguit de canvis educatius i polítics, com ara la incorporació d’agents privats en la política educativa dels estats o canvis en les formes de governança educativa. La participació d’aquests agents privats representa una nova forma de privatització educativa: la privatització digital. L’objectiu d’aquesta investigació és comprovar com la transformació digital del sistema educatiu espanyol està comportant importants canvis en les formes de governar i de dissenyar l’educació, és a dir, analitzar les xarxes de governança digital educativa de l’estat espanyol. La metodologia d’aquesta investigació es basa en la recerca bibliogràfica i web i en l’anàlisi etnogràfica de xarxes. Els resultats posen de manifest les aliances publicoprivades que operen en el marc de la digitalització de l’educació i que tenen influència en les polítiques de transformació digital del sistema educatiu.[spa] La transformación digital de la educación es un fenómeno global que está en alza desde finales del siglo XX y principios de este siglo y que ha experimentado un fuerte proceso de aceleración después de la pandemia mundial de la Covid-19.

El objetivo de esta investigación es comprobar cómo la transformación digital del sistema educativo español está comportando importantes cambios en las formas de gobernar y diseñar la educación, es decir, analizar las redes de gobernanza digital educativa del estado español. La metodología de esta investigación se basa en la búsqueda bibliográfica y web y en el análisis etnográfico de redes. Los resultados ponen de manifiesto las alianzas público-privadas que operan en el marco de la digitalización de la educación y que tienen influencia en las políticas de transformación digital del sistema educativo.[eng] The digital transformation of education is a global phenomenon that has been on the rise since the end of the 20th century and the beginning of this century and has experienced a strong acceleration process after the global Covid-19 pandemic. These processes of digital transformation of education entail a series of educational and political changes, such as the incorporation of private agents into the educational policy of states or changes in the forms of educational governance. The participation of these private agents represents a new form of educational privatization: digital privatization. The objective of this research is to verify how the digital transformation of the Spanish educational system is leading to important changes in the ways of governing and designing education, in other words, to analyze the educational digital governance networks of the Spanish state. The methodology of this research is based on bibliographic and web search and ethnographic network analysis. The results reveal the public-private alliances that operate within the framework of the digitalization of education and that have influence on the digital transformation policies of the educational system
Neoliberalización filantrópica y nuevas formas de privatización educativa: La red global Teach For All en España
Full text linkThis paper explores the emergence of philanthropic neoliberalization in the Spanish education policy through the case of “Empieza por Educar” (ExE), subsidiary of “Teach For All” (TFA). I examine some aspects of the “new philanthropy”, “philanthrocapitalism” and the concept of neoliberalism from Foucauldian and neo-Marxist perspectives. The research is based on the “Network Ethnography” (Howard, 2002). Under this methodological framework I built the “ExE policy network” constituted between governments, businesses and philanthropy, to examine new forms of governance and “network capital” and explain discourses of ExE in order to demonstrate how the “policy network” aspires to change teachers into leaders. Este artículo explora la emergencia de procesos de neoliberalización filantrópica en la política educativa española a través del caso de “Empieza por Educar” (ExE), filial de Teach For All (TFA). Examino algunos aspectos sobre la “nueva filantropía”,el “filantrocapitalismo”,y el concepto de neoliberalismo desde perspectivas neomarxistas y foucaultianas. La investigación se fundamenta en la “Network Ethnogra- phy” (Howard, 2002). Bajo este marco metodológico construyo la “red política ExE” constituida entre gobiernos, empresas y filántropos, para analizar formas de gobernanza y de “capital red”, y expongo los discursos de ExE para demostrar cómo la red política aspira a modificar a los docentes en líderes.
Neoliberalismo como discurso: La evaluación en educación entre tecnologías políticas neoliberales y la nueva filantropia
Full text linkEl texto explora cómo el discurso de la evaluación en educación se utiliza para introducir tecnologías políticas neoliberales y nuevos roles que la nueva filantropía está ocupando en la arena política educativa española. Examino cómo el neoliberalismo ha sido analizado desde una óptica foucaultiana y desde una perspectiva neomarxista para defender que analizar el neoliberalismo como discurso es un medio para reconciliar ambas interpretaciones. Analizo cómo en las evaluaciones estandarizadas coexisten mecanismos disciplinares, de gestión poblacional y de la conducción de las conductas para extender la «gubernamentalidad neoliberal» y reformar los sistemas educativos mediante tecnologías políticas neoliberales. Exploro discursos extraídos de normativas, webs, artículos de investigación y vídeos donde gobiernos y nuevas fundaciones filantrópicas argumentan sobre la evaluación y diferentes tecnologías políticas para defender el neoliberalismo. Ránquines, ferias de colegios, sistemas incentivos, gestión empresarial y rendición de cuentas son las tecnologías políticas neoliberales que defienden los gobiernos. La fundación filantrópica «Empieza por Educar» es un nuevo actor relevante en la arena política educativa española que construye neoliberalismo y crea nuevos procesos de formación docente propios del ámbito empresarial
