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
Kimlik ve Laiklik Ekseninde Sol Bir Arayış: Barış Partisi
No full textTürkiye’de 1990'lar, siyasal çalkantılar ve toplumsal dönüşümlerin belirginleştiği, ülke tarihinin dönüm noktalarından biri olmuştur. Bu dönem, katliamlar, faili meçhul cinayetler ve siyasi yapının parçalanması gibi travmatik olaylarla şekillenirken, aynı zamanda siyasal İslam’ın yükselişi ve Kürt sorununun dramatik gelişmeleri de toplumsal dinamikleri derinden etkilemiştir. Alevî kökenli vatandaşlar, bu kaotik siyasi ortamdan büyük ölçüde etkilenmiş, özellikle Gazi Mahallesi olayları ve Sivas katliamı gibi trajik hadiseler, Alevî toplumu üzerinde kalıcı izler bırakmıştır. Bu olaylar, Alevîlerde siyasete karşı bir güvensizlik ve korku duygusunun yanı sıra, kendilerini siyasal yapı içinde koruma ve daha etkili bir biçimde var olma ihtiyacını da tetiklemiştir. Alevîlerin, siyasal alanda varlıklarını pekiştirme çabaları, Barış Partisi’nin ortaya çıkışına zemin hazırlamıştır. Barış Partisi, 1990'ların siyasal ortamında Alevî kimliği ve laiklik anlayışının birleşiminden doğan bir siyasi hareket olarak şekillenmiştir. Parti, dönemin toplumsal ve siyasal koşulları ışığında, Alevîlerin özgürlük, kimlik ve laiklik taleplerinin bir arada dile getirilmesi için bir platform sunmuştur. Bu bağlamda Barış Partisi’nin kuruluşu, yalnızca Alevîlerin siyasal alandaki etkinliklerini artırma amacını taşımamış, aynı zamanda Türkiye’nin 1990’lar siyaseti ve Alevî toplumu açısından önemli bir dönemin izlerini taşıyan bir örnek olmuştur. Bu hareketin gelişimi ve toplumsal etkileri, dönemin siyasal atmosferiyle ilişkili olarak Alevîlerin siyasal katılımının nasıl şekillendiğini anlamak açısından önemli bir inceleme alanı oluşturmaktadır
An Opportunity for Nuri Demirağ the National Development Party the Transition to Multiparty Life in Turkey
No full textThe political life in Turkey during the period of 1923-1945 showed a single-party characteristic. Turkey, which did not enter the Second World War in 1939-1945, faced some negativities brought by the war both during and after the war. These negativities have had a compelling effect on the government to switch to a multi-party system with the effect of external and internal factors. Nuri Demirağ founded the National Development Party while he was preparing to take a step towards a multi-party system in Turkey, forced by both domestic and foreign conditions. Although the party could not show an active presence in our political life, its establishment made an important contribution to the establishment of democracy culture and the Despite all the efforts of Nuri Demirağ as the founder and chairman of the party, the inconsistency in the party and the evaluation of party activities from the wrong points led to the party's indifference in political life. In 1957, the existence of the National Development Party in our political life came to an end quietly due to the fact that the party committee could not convene after the death of the party chairman, Nuri Demirağ.In this sense, our study aims to contribute to the literature by aiming to discuss the political adventure of the National Development Party, which stands at an important point in terms of the democratization process in our political life, and to reveal the role of its founder, Nuri Demirag, in this process. © 2024 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved
