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
SUBSÍDIOS DA EDUCAÇÃO EM DIREITOS HUMANOS PARA FORMAÇÃO DE LEITORES: UMA PROPOSTA DE ATIVIDADES COM ESTRATÉGIAS METACOGNITIVAS DE LEITURA
Get PDFThe habit of reading and doing it proficiently is essential, both for school development and for
meeting the needs of young people in their daily lives. In this sense, once social relations are
taking place, notoriously, in a disharmonious way, it is essential that the school provides
critical reading activities on themes related to human rights, in order to contribute to the
formation of young people aware of their role. In this way, the present work had aims to
carry out a proposal of activities with metacognitive strategies for reading text of the news
genre, in a class of the 9th Year of Elementary School, to provide the development of the
critical sense of students in favor of training for the exercise of citizenship and respect for
human rights. The research characterized itself as, of a source bibliographic and documentary
nature, gathering theoretical knowledge that underlies a pedagogical teaching proposal
through metacognitive reading strategies. The methodological procedures proposed told
initially follow a survey on the reading comprehension levels of the students, go through the
development of metacognitive strategies, shared reading of news on human rights themes, and
end with an evaluative activity. We theoretically ground our work especially in Benevides
(2005, 2010), Carvalho (2014) and Tavares (2010), that discuss theoretical and
methodological aspects for the realization of human rights education, the Federal Constitution
(BRAZIL, 1988) and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (ONU, 1948b), that bring
the principle of dignity, as a universal human value; Silva (2011), that helps us distinguish
hate speech from freedom of expression; Bakhtin (2018), who sees language as a process of
interaction between subjects through the production of a textual genre; Koch & Elias (2018,
2019) and Solé (1998), that deal with conceptions of reading and metacognitive strategies to
the teaching; the Common National Curricular Base (BRAZIL, 2017), that guides the
pedagogical work, through the reading of texts from the journalistic sphere and from the
perspective of human rights; Schneuwly and Dolz (2004), who advocate language teaching,
from an interactionist perspective and around a textual genre; and finally, in Bonini (2011),
comprising the work with genres of journalistic sphere, as subsidy to the formation of critical
citizens, aware of their social roleNenhumaO hábito de leitura e a sua realização de forma proficiente é imprescindível, tanto para o
desenvolvimento escolar, como para atender as necessidades dos jovens na sua vida cotidiana.
Nesse sentido, uma vez que as relações sociais estão se realizando, notoriamente, de maneira
desarmoniosa, é fundamental que a escola proporcione atividades de leitura crítica sobre
temas referentes aos direitos humanos, com o fim de contribuir para formação de jovens
conscientes do seu papel como cidadãos responsáveis pela sociedade na qual estão inseridos.
Desse modo, o presente trabalho teve como objetivo realizar uma proposta de atividades com
estratégias metacognitivas de leitura de texto do gênero notícia, em uma turma do 9º Ano do
Ensino Fundamental, que proporcionasse o desenvolvimento do senso crítico dos discentes
em favor de uma formação para o exercício da cidadania e respeito aos direitos humanos. A
pesquisa se caracterizou como de natureza básica, bibliográfica e documental, reunindo
conhecimentos teóricos que fundamentam uma proposta pedagógica de ensino através de
estratégias metacognitivas de leitura. Os procedimentos metodológicos propostos contaram,
inicialmente, com uma sondagem sobre os níveis de compreensão leitora dos alunos,
perpassaram pelo desenvolvimento de estratégias metacognitivas de leitura compartilhada de
notícias sobre temas de direitos humanos e finalizaram com uma atividade avaliativa.
Fundamentamos, teoricamente, o nosso trabalho especialmente em Benevides (2005, 2010),
Carvalho (2014) e Tavares (2010), que discutem aspectos teóricos e metodológicos para a
realização de uma educação em direitos humanos; na Constituição Federal (Brasil, 1988) e na
Declaração Universal de Direitos Humanos (ONU, 1948b), que trazem o princípio da
dignidade como valor humano universal; Silva (2011), que nos ajuda a distinguir discurso de
ódio de liberdade de expressão; Bakhtin (2018), que concebe a língua como processo de
interação entre sujeitos através da produção de um gênero textual; Koch & Elias (2018, 2019)
e Solé (1998), que tratam sobre concepções de leitura e estratégias metacognitivas para o seu
ensino; a Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BRASIL, 2017), que orienta o trabalho
pedagógico através da leitura de textos da esfera jornalística e na perspectiva dos direitos
humanos; Schneuwly e Dolz (2004), que defendem o ensino da língua sob a perspectiva
interacionista e em torno de um gênero textual; e, por fim, em Bonini (2011), que compreende
o trabalho com gêneros da esfera jornalística como subsídio à formação de cidadãos críticos e
conscientes do seu papel social
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.
