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
Salk Institute for Biological Studies: monumentality and tectonics after the modern movement
No full textNo período entre guerras, os arquitetos da primeira geração modernistas renegam a utilização da monumentalidade em suas obras e chegam a declarar a morte do monumento. Porém, antes do final da Segunda Guerra, a temática ressurge com a incorporação da vanguarda moderna à linguagem arquitetônica corrente. As discussões sobre a adoção da expressão monumental na arquitetura moderna chegam até mesmo aos CIAMs. Neste contexto, se destaca o texto do arquiteto estadunidense Louis Kahn, Monumentalidade, de 1944. Kahn considera a utilização de técnicas construtivas contemporâneas e o emprego de sistemas estruturais eficientes como pontos fundamentais para obter tal objetivo. Para averiguar se a correlação proposta pelo arquiteto pode ser realizada, selecionamos uma de suas obras, o Instituto Salk para Estudos Biológicos - edifício que o autor teve oportunidade de verificar a monumentalidade in loco - para análise referente às técnicas empregadas e do seu funcionamento estrutural. Para tanto, foram pesquisadas as especificidades das soluções construtivas utilizadas na obra, avaliadas suas inovações e seu processo de amadurecimento no contexto do projeto, dos estudos iniciais até a conclusão da obra. Em relação aos sistemas estruturais, também, será descrita a forma como estes evoluíram no decorrer do projeto até se tornarem a solução final concretizada pela construção. Preliminarmente, serão feitas as análises qualitativas das soluções de estrutura adotadas com base nos projetos originais do engenheiro August Komendant. A configuração final da estrutura será avaliada com a execução de um modelo estrutural feito com recursos computacionais atuais. Desse modo, o comportamento da estrutura será examinado, de acordo com as referências numéricas e quantitativas. Após a análise, será avaliada de que forma a tectônica da obra colabora, ou não, com a sua monumentalidade.In the interwar period, the first generation modernist architects denied the use of monumentality in their works and even declared the death of the monument. However, before the end of the Second World War, the theme reappeared with the incorporation of the modern avant-garde into the current architectural language. Discussions about the adoption of the monumental expression in modern architecture even reach the CIAMs. In this context, the text of the American architect Louis Kahn, Monumentality, from 1944 stands out. Kahn considers the use of contemporary construction techniques and the use of efficient structural systems as fundamental points to achieve this objective. To find out if the correlation proposed by the architect can be carried out, we selected one of his works, the Salk Institute for Biological Studies - a building that the author had the opportunity to verify its monumentality in loco - for analysis regarding the techniques employed and its structural functioning. To this end, the specificities of the constructive solutions used in the work were researched, their innovations and their maturation process evaluated in the context of the project, from the initial studies to the completion of the work. In relation to the structural systems, it will also be described how they evolved during the project until they became the final solution implemented by the construction. Preliminarily, qualitative analyzes will be made of the structural solutions adopted based on the original designs by engineer August Komendant. The final configuration of the structure will be evaluated with the execution of a structural model made with current computational resources. Thus, the behavior of the structure will be examined, according to numerical and quantitative references. After the analysis, it will be evaluated in what way the tectonics of the work collaborates, or not, with its monumentality
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
Between implantation and acclimatization: the cultivation of public gardens in Brazil in the 19th and 20th centuries
No full textEsta tese examina o processo de implantação de jardins públicos no Brasil entre o final do século XIX e início do XX, buscando identificar soluções de aclimatação das matrizes paisagísticas estrangeiras ao contexto cultural, social e geográfico do país. O trabalho toma como objeto de estudo os jardins das cidades do Recife, Fortaleza e João Pessoa e os analisa a partir de quatro variáveis - seus nomes, usos, elementos naturais e equipamentos -, privilegiando fontes documentais, relatos de cronistas e memorialistas e levantamento in loco, em diálogo com a historiografia do paisagismo. Assim, a tese evidencia que o cultivo de jardins públicos no Brasil refletiu ritmos e modos diversos de interpretação dos conceitos e elementos formais dos jardins estrangeiros frente a circunstâncias locais, como preexistências arquitetônicas e urbanísticas; recursos naturais, materiais e tecnológicos; usos; aspectos climáticos e terminológicos.This thesis examines the process of implantation of public gardens in Brazil between the The nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, seeking to identify solutions for acclimatization of Foreign landscape to the cultural, social and geographical context of the country.

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
