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
Yoksulluğa ve yoksullara ilişkin değerlendirmelerin sistemin meşrulaştırılması kuramından hareketle incelenmesi
No full textBu çalışmanın amacı toplumumuzda yoksulluğa ve yoksullara ilişkin değerlendirmeler hakkında bilgi edinmektir. Bu amaç doğrultusunda, sosyo-demografik değişkenler, sosyal psikolojik değişkenler (adil dünya inancı, grup-temelli başatlık ve ekonomik sistemin meşrulaştırılması), yoksulluğa ilişkin nedensel atıflar ve yoksullara yardım politikalarıyla ilgili tutumlar arasındaki ilişkiler incelenmiştir. Bu çalışmaya Ege, İzmir Ekonomi ve Dokuz Eylül üniversitelerinde eğitim görmekte olan 592 üniversite öğrencisi katılmıştır. Araştırmanın sonuçlarına göre, toplumumuzda yapısal atıfların, bireyci ve kaderciailesel atıflara göre daha fazla yapıldığı gözlenmiştir. Kadınların; düşük gelirlilerin; sosyal bilimler-güzel sanatlar öğrencilerinin, erkeklerden; yüksek gelirlilerden; fen bilimleri öğrencilerinden daha fazla yapısal atıflar yaptıkları bulunmuştur. Yine, sol politik görüşlü katılımcıların, sağ politik görüşlü katılımcılardan yapısal atıfları daha fazla ve bireyci ve kaderci-ailesel atıfları daha az onayladıkları saptanmıştır. Ayrıca, yapısal eşitlik modellemesi analizleri, yüksek sosyo-ekonomik statünün kişisel adil dünya inancı, grup-temelli başatlık ve ekonomik sistemin meşrulaştırılması değişkenlerini pozitif yönde yordadığını göstermiştir. Kişisel adil dünya inancı ve grup-temelli başatlık yoksulluğa ilişkin bireyci atıfları pozitif yönde yordamaktadır. Ekonomik sistemin meşrulaştırılmasının yapısal atıfları negatif yönde yordadığı saptanmıştır. Bunun yanı sıra kaderci-ailesel atıfların, grup-temeli başatlık tarafından pozitif, algılanan sosyo-ekonomik statü tarafından ise negatif yönde yordandığı görülmüştür. Ayrıca, sosyo-ekonomik statünün yoksulluğa ilişkin bireyci ve yapısal atıflar üzerindeki etkisinin dolaylı olduğu ve söz konusu etkiye sosyal psikolojik değişkenlerin aracılık ettiği bulunmuştur. Yoksullara yardım politikalarıyla ilgili tutumların ise ekonomik sistemin meşrulaştırlması ve bireyci atıflar tarafından negatif yönde yordandığı görülmüştür. Bu araştırmanın en önemli katkıları şunlardır: (1) toplumumuzda yoksulluğa ilişkin atıf boyutlarının neler olduğu araştırılmıştır, (2) bazı önemli sosyo-demografik değişkenlerin yoksulluğa ve yoksullara yönelik değerlendirmelerde anlamlı etkilerinin olup olmadığı incelenmiştir, (3) algılanan sosyo-ekonomik statü, kişisel adil dünya inancı, grup-temeli başatlık, ekonomik sistemin meşrulaştırılması, yoksulluğa ilişkin nedensel atıflar ve yoksullara yardım politikalarıyla ilgili tutumlar arasındaki doğrudan ve dolaylı ilişkiler yapısal eşitlik modellemesi aracılığı ile gösterilmiştir
Sistemi meşrulaştırma sürecinde duygu ve duygu düzenlemenin rolü.
No full textThe studies of emotions and emotion regulation from the social psychological perspective have been dominated by two general approaches, namely, individual and group-based research perspectives (e.g., Frijda, 1986; Gross, 2014; Halperin, 2014; Smith, Seger, & Mackie, 2007). Considering that emotions cannot only be limited to the individual- and the group-level contexts, the system-level dynamics (Stangor & Jost, 1997) should be examined to better understand their impacts on both individual and society. Drawing on system justification theory (Jost, Banaji, & Nosek, 2004), the current study has attempted to provide empirical evidence for the characteristics of system-level emotions (Solak, Jost, Sümer, & Clore, 2012). Moreover, the present study was aimed to examine how system justification affects the regulating ways of emotions evoked by the system-level context. In doing so, in Study 1 and Study 2, system justification motivation was measured as an individual difference variable in the US and Turkish samples, respectively. In Study 3, the study hypotheses were tested during the 2013 Gezi Protests, and in Study 4, system justification motivation was experimentally manipulated. The current study provided empirical evidence for the characteristics of system-level emotions. These are system-based emotions (I) reflect standing in the social order, (II) reflect appraisals of the social order, (III) affect action tendencies and behaviors. Moreover, it was demonstrated that emotion regulation strategies affect the relationship between system justification and system-level emotions.
