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
Te Reo Ki Rō Whare Rīpene
No full textHe rangahau auaha tēnei mō te reo Māori me ngā ahuatanga Māori ki roto i te whare rīpene. E rua ngā taha o ngā mea katoa, ā, ka pērā anō tēnei rangahau. Ko te matū o te mahi nei, he mahi rīpene, ko ngā waiata e toru kua tāpirihia ki tēnei. Ko tōna hoa haere ko tēnei tuhinga e whai ake nei. Ko te mahi o te tuhinga he āta wetewete ngā mahi i mahia e pā ana ki te mahi hanga rīpene, he āta wetewete hoki i te horopaki e whai pānga ana ki te kaupapa. Ko tana tino mahi he whakarārangi ā-tuhi i ngā māramatanga i puta. Ka whai wāhi aku wheako i roto i te kaupapa Reo Māori Songhubs; ko ētahi whakawhitinga kōrero me ētahi mātanga; he rangahau e pā ana ki ētahi atu kaupapa kei reira te reo Māori e īnaki ana i te ao whare rīpene. Nā runga i te korenga o rangahau e hāngai pū ana ki tēnei kaupapa ka tino whānui te toro atu ki ngā momo kōrero hei tautoko te rangahau nei.
Ka titiro ki te āhua o te mahi rīpene waiata reo māori kia kite ai mēnā ka pūmau ngā tangata nō roto i aua kaupapa ki te reo Māori. Otirā, ka pātaingia te pātai, kei te ora pai te reo ki roto i te whare rīpene? Arā, whakamahia ai te reo e ngā tāngata pēnei i te kaihautū rātou ko ngā kairakuraku ngā kaihopu ki roto i te whare rīpene? Kāore rānei? Hei tāpiri, he aha ngā painga ka puta mai mēnā ka noho ko ngā ahuatanga Māori hei tuapapa?
Ko te mahi rīpene me ngā whakaritenga i taua mahi te tino rākau kei reira te miro hei whainga i te tuhinga nei. Mō te roanga o te mahi rīpene arā i a māua Ko Shane Mclean e mahi ana ki roto i te whare rīpene, ka ū tonu ki te reo Māori hei kaikawe kōrero, kaikawe whakaaro rānei. Ka noho hoki ko ngā ahuatanga Māori, arā, ko te mihimihi, ko te whakawhanaungatanga, ko te taki karakia hei tuapapa, hei pou mō te mahi.
I roto i tēnei rangahau ka kitea ahakoa kua puta mai te reo Māori i te maru o te reo Pākehā hei reo waiata, kei te ārikarika noa te reo hei reo waiata noa iho. Mo te whakawhitinga kōrero i waenganui i te kaihautū rātou ko ngā kaitaonga puoro ko ngā kaiwaiata anō hoki, ko te reo Pākehā te reo matua. Ko tētahi hua nā tēnei mahi rangahau ko tētahi kete kupu e hāngai pū ana ki te horopaki o te whare rīpene. Ko ētahi kupu ka whānau mai i tēnei mahi, ko ētahi atu kua tīkina noa, ko ētahi atu e mōhiotia kētia e te tokomaha.
He waka hou tēnei, arā ko tēnei te orokohanga o tētahi kaupapa whakarauora reo hou. Ko tāku nā whakapae, nā runga i te ngākau whakaiti hoki, ko tēnei te rangahau tuatahi e pēnei tonu te āhua
Prince Tui Teka. The Bridge Across the Ocean
No full text“Prince Tui Teka. The Bridge Across the Ocean” explores my preconceptions on music as they relate to the process of acculturation by engaging in the production of a documentary on legendary Māori performer Prince Tui Teka. I wanted to identify personal and societal connections between my home country and my new home here in Aotearoa, using this documentary as a way of bridging the gap and testing the idea of my adaptation and the universal threads (in this case music) that are crucial factors. A heuristic technique as the primary method of reflecting self-discovery will be tested in this study through the process of creating a documentary film
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
