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
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
An ethnography of design work
No full textIn "Sites of Value: An ethnography of design work" untersucht der Autor die situierte Produktion architektonischer Bewertungen in einem Architekturbüro. Die Studie verbindet die Soziologie der Architektur und des Designs, praxeologische Arbeitsplatzforschung und die neopragmatistische Soziologie der Bewertung. Ziel ist es, die sozialen Praktiken der architektonischen Entwurfsarbeit detailliert zu beschreiben und zu zeigen, dass diese im Kern eine soziale Praxis der Valorisierung ist. Dafür führte der Autor sechs Monate ethnographische Feldforschung bei David Chipperfield Architects Berlin durch, ergänzt durch Videoaufnahmen von Sitzungen. Die Analyse basiert auf situativen methodologischen Prinzipien, die die verteilte und öffentlich beobachtbare Arbeit der Teilnehmenden betonen. Ein zentrales Konzept der Studie ist der "Ort des Wertes" (site of value), der durch Praktiken der Valorisierung konstituiert wird. Die ethnographische Beschreibung beleuchtet diese konstitutive Beziehung. Die Studie untersucht Valorisierung in sieben empirischen Kapiteln und gliedert sie in drei Hauptdimensionen: Erstens, basieren Orte des Wertes auf den Erfahrungen der Teilnehmenden, die diese aktiv gestalten. Zweitens bilden spezifische Werkzeuge und Materialien die Ausrüstung, welche gesucht und genutzt werden, um die Arbeit zu unterstützen. Drittens entwickeln Teilnehmende Ausdrucksformen, die den Wert der Entwürfe vermitteln. Diese Dimensionen – Erfahrung, Ausrüstung und Ausdruck – verweben die sozialen Praktiken der Valorisierung und bilden die Grundlage für eine detaillierte Darstellung architektonischer Entwurfsarbeit.In "Sites of Value: An ethnography of design work," the author examines the situated production of architectural valuations within an architecture firm. The study combines the sociology of architecture and design, praxeological workplace research, and neopragmatist sociology of valuation. Its aim is to provide a detailed description of the social practices that constitute architectural design work and to demonstrate that, at its core, this work is a social practice of valorization. To this end, the author conducted six months of ethnographic fieldwork at David Chipperfield Architects Berlin, supplemented by video recordings of office sessions. The analysis is based on situational methodological principles that emphasize the distributed and publicly observable work of participants. A central concept of the study is the "site of value," which is constituted through practices of valorization. The ethnographic description sheds light on this constitutive relationship. The study examines valorization in seven empirical chapters, structured around three main dimensions: First, sites of value are based on the experiences of participants, who actively shape them. Second, specific tools and materials form the equipment that is sought and used to support the work. Third, participants develop forms of expression that articulate the value of the designs. These dimensions—experience, equipment, and expression—interweave the social practices of valorization and form the foundation for a detailed depiction of architectural design work
