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
O ato de dizer por escrito na esfera acadêmica: implicações conceituais de base histórico-cultural
Get PDFO ato de dizer, por meio da escrita, na universidade parece constituir desafio substantivo para muitos estudantes; vivências empíricas na docência no ensino superior têm sinalizado para isso, tanto quanto pesquisas que vêm ocupando espaços em eventos educacionais da área da linguagem. Em atenção a esses ‘sinais’, este artigo teórico tem como objetivo identificar conceitos no campo dos estudos do letramento, em interface com o ideário bakhtiniano, tomados como potenciais contributos a novas compreensões acerca de implicações histórico-culturais desse mesmo ato de dizer, por escrito, na universidade. A proposta é de que a escrita acadêmica seja compreendida como constitutiva de eventos de letramento para cuja participação são requeridas dos acadêmicos práticas de letramento que ancorem essa mesma participação, processo que demanda familiarização com os modos de dizer e os modos de fazer na universidade, do que decorre maior ou menor inserção nessa esfera da atividade humana.</jats:p
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
Anáforas indiretas e sua ancoragem a antecedentes implícitos
Get PDFOrientador : Iara Bemquerer CostaDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal do Paraná. Setor de Ciências Humanas, Letras e Artes. Curso de Pós-Graduação em Letras. Defesa: Curitiba, 17/10/2003Inclui referênciasResumo: A anáfora indireta é uma estratégia de progressão referencial caracterizada pela ausência de ligação explícita entre uma expressão nominal ou um pronome anafórico e um antecedente na superfície textual. Esta pesquisa trata da observação das atividades ou processos envolvidos no estabelecimento da relação entre essas anáforas e os elementos textuais denominados âncoras, os quais servem de suporte para a emergência de sentidos, permitindo a ligação textual implícita. A referenciação é concebida como uma construção colaborativa de objetos do discurso, objetos cuja existência é estabelecida no discurso, emergindo das práticas simbólicas e intersubjetivas, evoluindo de uma forma flexível. O sentido das palavras e expressões pode sofrer alterações dada a variação contextual ou do interlocutor, apresentando-se as descrições do mundo como incompletas. Tomamos como base o trabalho de MARCUSCHI (2001a) sobre as anáforas indiretas para a análise de textos produzidos por estudantes de graduação da Universidade da Região de Joinville - Campus São Bento do Sul, dos cursos de Ciências Contábeis, Ciências Econômicas, Pedagogia e Letras.Abstract: The indirect anaphor is a strategy of reference progression characterized by absence of explicit connection between nominal expressions or anaphoric pronouns and an antecedent on textual surface. This research talks about the observation of the activities or processes involved in relation establishment between anaphors and textual elements called anchors, which serves as support to sense emergence, making possible an implicit textual connection. The referenciation is conceived as a colaborative construction of objects of discourse, objects whose existence is established in the discourse, emerging in the symbolic and intersubjective practices, evaluating in flexible form. The sense of the words and expressions can suffer some changes, given the contextual variation or interspeaker variations, the world descriptions showing uncompleted. To elaborate the analyses in graduation students texts, we took as a start point MARCUSCHI (2001a), who does an approach about indirect anaphors. We collected graduating students texts, students of the Universidade da Região de Joinville - São Bento do Sul Camp, from Counts, Economics, Letters and Education Courses
