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

O programa “cidade criativa, cidade feliz” como um microdispositivo comunicacional da cidade de Santa Rita do Sapucaí – MG
Get PDFThis research proposes a study on cities as a communicative structure with levels of investigation that observe the city as a medium, media and mediation. From this perspective, the movement “Creative City, Happy City” of the City of Santa Rita do Sapucaí, state of Minas Gerais, is observed from the premise that the movement acts as a communicational device of the city. The movement announces a division into four axes of action, namely: technology, entrepreneurship, culture and citizenship, which are combined in the pairs “culture and citizenship” and “technology and entrepreneurship”. The composition of “technology and entrepreneurship” is guided by the concept of development, commonly understood by economic aspects, whereas “culture and citizenship” is guided by the city’s dynamics of life. However, under the aegis of technology, the city has been a guideline for transforming cognitive capital retention and technological export. Thus, it is necessary to reflect on what “Creative City, Happy City” is and how it communicates with the city and in what proportions it affects its dynamics and development. For research, an anthropological based methodology is used, with cartographic reference that counts on field research, participant observation, interviews and qualitative analysis. Epistemologically, Michael Foucault, Richard Sennett, Fabio La Rocca and other collaborators supported the research. This is an interdisciplinary study that supports discussions about development, technologies and society.A presente pesquisa propõe-se a realizar um estudo sobre cidades enquanto um microdispositivo de comunicação, com níveis de investigação que observam a cidade enquanto meio, mídia e mediação. Sob essa perspectiva, estuda-se o movimento “Cidade Criativa, Cidade Feliz” da Cidade de Santa Rita do Sapucaí, MG, a partir da premissa de que o movimento atua como um microdispositivo comunicacional da cidade. O movimento anuncia uma divisão em quatro eixos de ação, a saber: tecnologia, empreendedorismo, cultura e cidadania, que se aglutinação nos pares “cultura e cidadania’ e “tecnologia e empreendedorismo”. Observa-se que a composição “tecnologia e empreendedorismo” se guia pelo conceito de desenvolvimento comumente entendido por aspectos econômicos, ao passo que a composição “cultura e cidadania” se orienta pela dinâmica de vida da cidade. No entanto, sob a égide da tecnologia, ao longo dos anos a cidade se compõe numa diretriz de transformação de retenção de capital cognitivo e exportação tecnológica. Dessa maneira, faz-se necessário refletir sobre o que vem a ser o “Cidade Criativa, Cidade Feliz” e de que maneira se comunica com a cidade e em que proporções afeta sua dinâmica e desenvolvimento. Para pesquisa, utiliza-se uma metodologia de base antropológica, com referência cartográfica que conta com pesquisa de campo, observação participante, entrevistas e análise qualitativa. Epistemologicamente, a pesquisa procura suporte em Michael Foucault, Richard Sennett, Fabio La Rocca e outros colaboradores. Trata-se de um estudo interdisciplinar que suporte discussões sobre desenvolvimento, tecnologias e sociedade
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
