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
Programas Ideológicos a través de la Imagem: algunos ejemplos de la Edad Media
No full textThe iconography of Jacques the Conqueror is the result of ideological programs
originated by official institutions or by the monarchy itself. It implies a positive
judgement of the king�s profile, that short after his mourned death, was given a
legendary aura. This nevertheless did not always count with the Church�s support. Some
examples of the attributions to the king are: epical crussader against the infidel
sarracins, epitomy of a hero, root of a glorious dinasty in Valencia and Mallorca, etc.
And those were mere samples of the different meanings that the recorded effigies
express. Meanings that offer an extraordinary vision of king Jacques I, although not
always close to reality.Sob a iconografia de Jaime Conquistador desenvolvem-se, de forma mais ou menos
aberta, programas ideológicos realizados por organismos oficiais ou pela própria
monarquia. Estes programas denotam um claro favorecimento da sua figura que, pouco
a pouco, e depois da sua chorada morte, foi envolta numa áurea legendária ainda que, é
certo, não tivesse tido o apoio da instituição eclesiástica. Acérrimo foralista, épico
cruzado contra os infiéis sarracenos, protótipo de herói, a raiz duma gloriosa dinastia de
Maiorca e Valença... É apenas uma pequena amostra dos diversos significados que as
imagens compiladas sugerem, oferecendo uma visão extraordinária, ainda que nem
sempre ajustada à realidade, do rei Jaime
El desenvolupament cognitiu en situacions de maltractament infantil
Get PDF[cat] Aquest treball de fi de grau (TFG), versa sobre el desenvolupament cognitiu dels
menors que han sofrit maltractament infantil. Al llarg del TFG es plantegen com a objectius
l’esbrinament de com afecten les diverses situacions de maltractament al desenvolupament
cognitiu de l’infant així com els resultats que les dites situacions provoquen en la vida
quotidiana dels menors. Aquest TFG ha estat dut a terme mitjançant la metodologia de
recerca d’informació tant des d'una perspectiva descriptiva, com des d'una revisió de la
literatura de les diverses fonts d’informació empleades al llarg del treball. Finalment, i a
manera de resum, els principals resultats que s’han obtingut mitjançant el TFG
d’investigació i a partir dels objectius plantejats són, en primer lloc, la certesa que el
maltractament si afecta determinades estructures cerebrals dels menors, i, en segon lloc, que
són, generalment, nou les àrees, del desenvolupament cognitiu de l’infant, que es veuran
afectades amb un major impacte a causa d'haver estat víctima d'una situació de maltractament
infantil. Per tant, es pot concloure establint que, el fet de sofrir situacions de violència o
intimidació a edats primerenques provoca un major risc que el desenvolupament cognitiu dels
menors no segueixi un curs natural i en conseqüència es vegi afectat. A més, no es pot oblidar
que és necessari fer especial importància en el fet que la societat, com entitat de constant
canvi tant en la seva conducta com en els seus ideals, necessita una major educació respecte
de la violència comesa contra els infants.[eng] This final degree project (TFG) focuses on the cognitive development of minors who
have suffered child abuse. Throughout the TFG, the aim is to determine how the various
situations of abuse affect the cognitive development of the child, as well as the results that
these situations cause in the daily life of minors. This TFG has been carried out using the
information research methodology, both from a descriptive perspective and from a literature
review of the various sources of information used throughout the work. Finally, and by way
of summary, the main results that have been obtained through this research TFG and from the
objectives set out are, firstly, the certainty that abuse does affect certain brain structures in
minors, and, secondly, that there are generally nine areas of the cognitive development of the
child that will be affected with a greater impact due to having been the victim of a child abuse
situation. Therefore, we can conclude that, experiencing situations of violence or intimidation at an early age creates a greater risk that the cognitive development of minors does not follow
a natural course and is consequently affected. In addition, we cannot forget that it is necessary
to place particular importance on the fact that society, as an entity of constant change both in
its conduct and in its ideals, needs greater education regarding violence committed against
children
