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
Mudanças de cenário e impactos na cultura organizacional em uma instituição de ensino superior.
Get PDFThis dissertation had as the main objective to analyze the changes that happened in
the organizational culture of Pró-Reitoria de Gestão de Pessoas - PROGEP - of
Federal University of Paraíba, according to the perception of organizational people,
during the last ten years, after the proposal of a new management model called
Gespública, as well as the renovation of the organizational staff by means of new
signings and terminations of former civil servants. In order to reach this aim, the
following specific objectives were established: a) Identify, through the perception of
the research subject, the profile of the culture in the organizational unit before the
changes; b) Identify, through the perception of the research subject, the profile of the
culture in the organizational unit after the changes; c) Analyze the possible cultural
changes which happened with the changes; d) Analyze if the possible cultural
changes which happened can contribute to attend the new principles proposed by
Gespública. This study was addressed from the perspective of the organizational
based on the Organizational culture architecture model Marco and directed by the
quantitative approach, being that for the data collect it was used the questionnaire as
instrument and for data analysis the descriptive statistic, as well as parametric and
non-parametric tests of media comparison. The results showed that even with the
events of the new management model called Gespública, as well as with the
renovation of the organizational staff that could promote the replacement or the
acculturation of the subjects, no change was detected in the researched Pró-Reitoria.
In the end, some recommendations and implications were presented, aiming to
contribute to the development of researches involving organizational culture in public
institutions.Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPESEsta dissertação teve como objetivo analisar as principais mudanças ocorridas na cultura organizacional da Pró-reitoria de Gestão de Pessoas da Universidade Federal da Paraíba, na percepção dos entes organizacionais, nos últimos dez anos, depois da proposição do novo modelo de gestão o Gespública - como também a renovação do quadro organizacional através de novas contratações e de desligamentos dos antigos servidores. Para se alcançar esse propósito, foram traçados os seguintes objetivos específicos: a) Identificar, através da percepção dos sujeitos da pesquisa, o perfil da cultura na unidade organizacional antes das mudanças; b) O perfil da cultura da unidade organizacional depois das mudanças; c) Analisar as possíveis alterações culturais ocorridas com as mudanças; d) Analisar se as mudanças culturais podem concorrer para o atendimento aos novos princípios propostos pela Gespública. O estudo foi orientado na perspectiva da cultura organizacional, alicerçado pelo Modelo de Arquitetura da Cultura Organizacional MARCO - e norteado pelas abordagens qualitativa e quantitativa. Para a coleta dos dados, foi empregado o questionário, e para analisá-los, a estatística descritiva, bem como testes paramétricos e não paramétricos de comparação de médias. Os resultados revelaram que, mesmo com os eventos do novo modelo de gestão - o Gespública e a renovação do quadro organizacional, que poderiam promover a substituição ou aculturação dos sujeitos, não houve qualquer modificação na Pró-reitoria estudada. Por fim, foram apresentadas algumas recomendações e implicações, objetivando contribuir para o desenvolvimento de pesquisas sobre a cultura organizacional nas organizações públicas
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
