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
The Neoliberal Underpinnings of Prevention Through Deterrence and the United States Government\u27s Case Against Geographer Scott Warren
No full textScott Warren is a political geographer currently facing federal charges in the United States for his work with the Arizona humanitarian organization No More Deaths. On January 17, 2018 Warren was arrested in Ajo, Arizona, along with Kristian Perez-Villanueva and José Sacaria-Goday, two Central American migrants to whom he was providing care. The United States has since charged Warren with two counts of felony harboring under 18 USC § 1324(a) and one count of conspiracy related to harboring. This essay places the Scott Warren case in context. First, it situates the charges against Warren within a longer genealogy of Prevention Through Deterrence (PTD), since 1994 the overarching enforcement strategy pursued by the United States along its border with Mexico. Next, I discuss how the charges against Warren reflect a doubling-down on PTD and its underlying logic. This involves a policy agenda designed to forcibly dismantle long-existing networks of community, care and solidarity across difference in the transnational U.S. / Mexico border region. I then argue that at stake in this policy agenda is an aggressive neoliberal worldview that would reduce all human relationships to pure competition, dividing the world into rigid categories of winners and losers. For this agenda to succeed, it must first rend the social fabric that holds us all together. I conclude by discussing several cases where the tactics of the Trump administration appear, thankfully, to be having precisely the opposite effect.
Scott Warren es un geógrafo político que actualmente enfrenta cargos federales en los Estados Unidos por su trabajo con la organización humanitaria de Arizona No More Deaths. El 17 de enero de 2018 Warren fue arrestado en Ajo, Arizona, junto con Kristian Pérez-Villanueva y José Sacaria-Goday, dos migrantes centroamericanos a quienes estaba brindando atención. Desde entonces, los Estados Unidos ha acusado a Warren de dos cargos de delito grave de “albergar” bajo de 18 USC § 1324(a), y un cargo de conspiración relacionada al albergar. Este ensayo coloca el caso de Scott Warren en contexto. Primero, sitúa los cargos contra Warren dentro de una genealogía más larga de Prevención a Través de la Disuasión (PTD), desde 1994 la estrategia general aplicada por los Estados Unidos en su frontera con México. A continuación, analizo cómo los cargos contra Warren reflejan una duplicación del PTD y su lógica subyacente. Esto implica una agenda política diseñada para desmantelar por la fuerza las redes de comunidad, atención y solidaridad existentes a través de la diferencia desde hace mucho tiempo en la región fronteriza transnacional de Estados Unidos / México. Luego sostengo que lo que está en juego en esta agenda política es una cosmovisión neoliberal agresiva que reduciría todas las relaciones humanas a pura competencia, dividiendo el mundo en categorías rígidas de ganadores y perdedores. Para que esta agenda tenga éxito, primero tiene que desgarrar el tejido social que nos mantiene unidos. Concluyo discutiendo varios casos en los que las tácticas de la administración Trump parecen, afortunadamente, a tener precisamente el efecto contrario
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
