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
КОНЦЕПЦІЇ ВИРІШЕННЯ УКРАЇНСЬКОЇ ПРОБЛЕМИ В ПОЛЬСЬКІЙ ПОЛІТИЧНІЙ ДУМЦІ (1939-1945 рр.)
Full text linkThe article is devoted to the study of Polish-Ukrainian relations during the Second World War. In particular, the concepts of solving the Ukrainian question in the Polish political thought of the period 1939-1945 are investigated. It should be noted that the primary attention is paid to the analysis of various kinds of analytical studies, memos, theoretical developments, informational reports carried out by various structural elements of the Polish emigration government, which actively worked on the development of the latest position on the Ukrainian question. In addition, the official declarations adopted by the Polish government in emigration concerning both the problem of national minorities in general and the Ukrainian question, in particular, are studied. An important role is also played by the study of policy documents of the main political parties that were part of the Polish “London group.” This made it possible to highlight the positions of various political forces as well as assess their proposals. The main policy directions of political parties regarding the Ukrainian question are shown. Much attention is dedicated to the study of the program documents of those political parties that cooperated with the Polish government in emigration, and their representatives were included in various structures in its composition, which, in turn, made it possible to directly influence the development of the governmental concepts and its official position. The official statements of such political forces as the National party, the Peasant party, the Democratic party, the LEI (WRN) party (Liberty, Equality, Independence (Wolność, Równość, Niepodległość) – the socialist party) are analyzed. Based on the comparison of the crucial program documents, the party press, various kinds of appeals to citizens, the evolution of Polish political thought regarding the Ukrainian question during the Second World War is shown. The official documents developed in the military representation of the government in the country (Home Army), as well as its civilian exposition in the province (Government Delegation), are analyzed.У статті досліджено концепції вирішення української проблеми в польській політичній думці 1939-1945 рр. Основну увагу приділено аналізу різного роду аналітичних опрацювань, доповідних записок, теоретичних розробок, інформаційних довідок, здійснених різними структурними елементами польського еміграційного уряду, які активно працювали над виробленням позиції щодо українського питання. Охарактеризовано офіційні декларації, прийняті польським урядом в еміграції стосовно національних меншин загалом і українського питання зокрема. Висвітлені програмні документи основних політичних партій, що входили до польського «Лондонського табору». Це дало можливість з’ясувати позиції різних політичних сил та дати оцінку їхнім пропозиціям
