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
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
Extensions of ourselves: toward liberatory practices with digital technologies in literacy classrooms
Get PDFSecondary English Language Arts teachers face classrooms with increasing linguistic and cultural diversity, yet privilege an approach to literacy associated with monolingual forms of English. Adherence to this ideological approach to teaching English reinforces conditions of White Supremacy. Simultaneously, the increasing presence of digital technologies has changed our communication from print-only to communication through and across multiple modes. However, educational technology (EdTech) products teachers are required to use to teach the Common Core reinforce the same monolingual, print-based approach that has been traditionally used in teaching. Culturally and linguistically diverse students whose communicative repertoires include use of multimodal practices could be served through the use of digital tools that have the potential to serve as a conduit for those practices; however, ELA teachers' pedagogy leaves no space for these practices to bloom. Examined through a conceptual framework that positions critical digital literacies (Ávila Pandya, 2013) as a form of culturally sustaining pedagogies (Paris Alim, 2017), this study aims to investigate how secondary ELA teachers can honor the communicative repertoires of culturally and linguistically diverse students through the use of digital, multimodal compositions. For this study, I used PAR methodology to partner with an eighth grade English Language Arts teacher to develop and implement a 4-week unit of instruction. Data includes transcripts of Zoom-recorded planning and debrief meetings, class sessions, three semi-structured interviews with teacher and 3 focal students, and focal student work from the unit. The major findings are that use of a critical, culturally sustaining approach to digital multimodal compositions 1) required crafting a pedagogy that involved translating research-based concepts, negotiating meaning, weaving curricular components, and using digital platforms grafted to the conceptual work of the curriculum 2) enabled students to agentically represent their lives and provided opportunities for empowerment 3) allowed us as teachers to address traditional English Language Arts skills while providing an opportunity to engage in transformative learning experiences using digital tools 4) unearthed and reinforced the complexity and dynamism of language, culture and identity. This study illustrates the importance of collaborative, dialogic professional learning spaces for teachers to rehearse culturally sustaining and digital pedagogies. Additionally, the study illustrates how use of digital multimodal compositions offer opportunities for teachers to center communicative expression, move within and beyond traditional focal areas in ELA classes, and open up communicative pathways for students
