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
Contribuições da análise da atividade e do modelo social para a inclusão no trabalho de pessoas com deficiência
No full textIn this study, we meant to analyze disable people s inclusion policies and actions regarding to Brazilian work market. The Law 8213/91 and the Decree 3298/99 have been based on the biomedical model and have directed the actions in Brazil. The Legislation determines reservation of market for the people with disabilities. However, it does not present any sort of methodological actions concerning inclusion. The biomedical model understands disability in a way that it does not empower effective inclusion. Therefore, this view points towards assisting actions that do not guarantee education, knowledge or professional development. It historically maintains some persons excluded from work. The social model considers the preparation of people with disabilities and the society strengthening the concept of inclusion. The methodological assumptions concerning both the social model of disability and the analysis of the work activity directed the assessment of the practices based on the biomedical model.
Exploratory research methods were employed in order to analyze practices adopted by public and private institutions in Brazil as well as to the bibliographical research. Among 39 proposals of action examined, we had chosen three because they were the more significant and thus interviews were done in loco. Action research was used in a pilot study developed in a textile industry. This pilot study involved five people with
disabilities, partnerships among institution of instruction, research and local governmental organizations. This study aimed both to analyze empirically techniques and methods of inclusion based on work activity and to assess whether inclusion of people with disabilities is tightly related to analyzis and adaptation concerning the work activities. Conclusions present the relevance of the social model of disability as basement for inclusion actions and the analyzis of work activity which shall comprise adaptations on the local of work and its work contents and processes for the people.
Some factors may explain the low number of employed persons in relation to the market demanding: although the Law 8213/91 has been in operation for 17 years, its regulation
took a long time; the inspection has still not have necessary structure; the public and private investment in professional qualification and in adaptation of work activities has still been insufficient. The lack of information on the work activities by employers as well as by the institutions for people with disabilities, the lack of accessibility in companies and the social stigma related to functional capacities and abilities of people with disabilities are the most difficulties in direction to inclusion. This study proposes a program under municipal ownership whereas it permits to know the local demanding of
people with disabilities and companies. This program also might consider actions that provide working qualification for the people with disabilities, remove environment obstacles and aide the companies to useful adjustments for inclusion.Universidade Federal de Sao CarlosNeste estudo são analisas as políticas e práticas de inclusão de pessoas com deficiência no mercado de trabalho no Brasil partindo do pressuposto de que a Lei 8213/91 e o decreto 3298/99 são baseados no modelo biomédico e orientam estas
práticas no país. A legislação estipula a reserva de mercado para as pessoas com deficiência, mas, não apresenta metodologia de ações para a inclusão. No modelo biomédico, a maneira como é conceituada a deficiência e as ações decorrentes não são suficientes para a realização de efetiva inclusão. Tal visão aponta para ações assistencialistas que não garantem a educação, a habilitação e desenvolvimento
profissional mantendo as pessoas com deficiência excluídas historicamente do trabalho. O modelo social permite a preparação das pessoas com deficiência e da sociedade e corrobora com o conceito da inclusão. Foram utilizados pressupostos metodológicos do modelo social da deficiência e da análise da atividade de trabalho para avaliar as práticas de inclusão baseadas no modelo biomédico e para o desenvolvimento do trabalho foram utilizados métodos de pesquisa exploratória na revisão bibliográfica sobre os temas centrais da pesquisa e das práticas adotadas no Brasil por instituições públicas e privadas. Foram consultados 39 propostas de ações para a inclusão de pessoas com deficiência no mercado de trabalho, das quais foram selecionadas três por serem mais significativas e para essas foram feitas entrevistas in loco. Utilizou-se a pesquisa-ação na realização de um estudo piloto em uma empresa do setor têxtil, com a participação de 5 pessoas com deficiência e com a parceria de instituições de ensino, pesquisa e órgãos governamentais locais. O objetivo do estudo piloto foi analisar empiricamente métodos e técnicas de inclusão baseados na atividade real de trabalho e avaliar na prática a hipótese de que a inclusão de pessoas com deficiência está intimamente relacionada com a análise e adaptação das atividades de
trabalho. As conclusões destacam a importância do modelo social da deficiência no embasamento das ações para a inclusão e da análise da atividade de trabalho,
compreendendo adaptações dos meios físicos de trabalho, seus conteúdos e processos às pessoas. Verificou-se que a demora na regulamentação da lei de cotas que está em vigor há 17 anos, a fiscalização sem a necessária estrutura e o baixo investimento público e privado na qualificação profissional e nas adaptações das atividades de trabalho se traduzem em números de contratações incompatíveis com a
demanda de mercado. Constatou-se que a maior barreira apresentada para a inclusão é a falta de conhecimento das atividades de trabalho por parte dos empregadores e das instituições para pessoas com deficiência, além da falta de acessibilidade das empresas e do estigma presente na sociedade quanto às capacidades funcionais e habilidades das pessoas com deficiência. Para finalizar, foi proposto um programa municipalizado, descentralizado, capaz de entender a demanda local das pessoas com deficiência e das empresas, para propor ações que propiciem capacitação das pessoas
para o trabalho, elimine barreiras ambientais e auxiliem as empresas nas adequações necessárias à inclusão

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
