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
Unidade de ensino potencialmente significativa norteada por metodologias ativas: uma proposta para o estudo de gases ideais na disciplina de física no ensino médio
Get PDFThe school, as a social space and environment developed for production of systematized knowledge, cannot be aligned with the idea of teaching practices that do not corroborate with the expectations of an increasingly dynamic society. In this sense, is required a new pedagogical approach which reaches the students' aspiration. Faced with this reality, rises the care and desire to carry out this work, where we expose the elaboration, application and evaluation of a didactic sequence for the study of gases with students of the 2nd grade of high school in the state school system. The didactic sequence is under the assumptions of the Significant Learning Theory by the North American David Ausubel as a way to overcome old practices, leading the study of Physics closer to the students' reality. The didactic sequence, called Potentially Significant Teaching Unit, consists of pre and post tests, introductory text, questionnaire, concept maps, video lessons and problem situations (stations) in accordance with the development of competencies and skills brought by the Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais(PCN and PCN +) and the Base NAcional Comum Curricular (BNCC). Active methodologies guide this work by favoring the strengthening of autonomy, the inverted classroom allows the student to realize that the production of knowledge can occur in another bias, when there is an inversion of what is done in the classroom to be done at home. Collaborative activities promote an environment for the negotiation of ideas, meanings and concepts. This work is a qualitative, quantitative and experimental character, as it is a teaching experiment, theoretically based on works and researches by Ausubel (1963, 1968); Moreira (2000, 2002, 2011); Freire (2005); Brazil (1999); Brazil (2002); Reeve (2009); Coelho (2018); Morin (2000); Moran (2015), “Cobb and Steffe (1983) among others. We found that the results of the Potentially Significant Teaching Unit corroborate the theoretical assumptions that underlie this research. The analysis of the results of a qualitative and experimental nature thappend through the positioning of students, the evolution of conceptual maps and individual and summative evaluations. As for the results of a qualitative nature, we follow the parameters of Hake's Gain. Thus, we infer that it is possible for a classroom practice guided by active methodologies to positively influence the significant learning of Physics. Therefore, capacitating the teacher to use practices that develop in students autonomy and intellectual ability to understand and solve real situations, can contribute significantly to the process of teaching and learningA escola, enquanto espaço social e ambiente destinado a produção do conhecimento sistematizado, não pode se alinhar a ideia de práticas de ensino que não corroboram com as expectativas de uma sociedade cada vez mais dinâmica. Neste sentido, torna-se necessário um novo fazer pedagógico que atenda aos anseios dos alunos. Diante de tal realidade, surge a inquietação e desejo de realizar este trabalho onde expomos a elaboração, aplicação e avaliação de uma sequência didática para o estudo de gases com alunos da 2ª série do ensino médio da rede estadual de ensino. A sequência didática está inscrita nos pressupostos da Teoria da Aprendizagem Significativa do norte americano David Ausubel como forma de superar antigas práticas, possibilitando o estudo de Física mais próximo da realidade dos alunos. A sequência didática, denominada Unidade de Ensino Potencialmente Significativa, é constituída por pré e pós testes, texto introdutório, questionário, mapas conceituais, vídeo-aulas e situações-problemas (estações) em conformidade com o desenvolvimento das competências e habilidades trazidas pelos Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais (PCN e PCN+) e para Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC). As metodologias ativas são norteadoras deste trabalho por favorecer o fortalecimento da autonomia, a sala de aula invertida oportuniza o aluno perceber que a produção do conhecimento pode ocorrer em um outro viés, quando ocorre a inversão do que é feito na sala de aula para ser feito em casa. As atividades colaborativas, promovem um ambiente de negociação de ideias, significados e conceitos. Este trabalho é de caráter qualitativo, quantitativo e experimental, por se tratar de um experimento de ensino, fundamentado teoricamente em trabalhos e pesquisas de Ausubel (1963, 1968); Moreira (2000, 2002, 2011); Freire (2005); Brasil (1999); Brasil (2002); Reeve (2009); Coelho (2018); Morin (2000); Moran (2015), “Cobb e Steffe (1983) dentre outros. Verificamos que os resultados da Unidade de Ensino Potencialmente Significativa corroboram com os pressupostos teóricos que fundamentam esse trabalho. A análise dos resultados de natureza qualitativa e experimental deu-se por meio do posicionamento dos alunos, da evolução dos mapas conceituais e das avaliações individual e somativa. Quanto aos resultados de natureza qualitativa, seguimos os parâmetros do Ganho de Hake. Desse modo, inferimos que é possível uma prática de sala de aula balizada por metodologias ativas influenciar positivamente na aprendizagem significativa de Física. Portanto, capacitar o professor para o uso de práticas que desenvolva nos alunos autonomia e habilidade intelectual para entender e solucionar situações reais, é contribuir significativamente no processo de ensinar e aprenderCoordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPE
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
