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
CYBERBULLYING: INTIMIDAÇÃO SISTEMÁTICA, CONSTRANGIMENTO VIRTUAL E CONSEQUÊNCIAS JURÍDICAS
Get PDFThis article aims to understand the legal relevance of the discussion on cyberbullying. Its hypothesis is that the current forms of digital social relations lead to the possibility of abuse, similarly to what happens in person — however, in a way that is enhanced by the complexity, reach and speed that social networks offer. As a result, relationships in social networks replicate abusive practices that also occur physically, causing moral and existential damage. In view of this, it is necessary that there are careful analyzes and practices of this type of practice, in a joint effort between the State, schools, families and social media controls, so that such practices can be restrained. Methodology: hypothetical-deductive procedure method, with a qualitative and technical approach to bibliographic-documentary research.Este artigo tem o escopo de compreender a relevância jurídica da discussão sobre o cyberbullying. Sua hipótese é de que as atuais formas relações sociais digitais acarretam a possibilidade de abuso, de forma similar ao que ocorre presencialmente — porém, de modo potencializado pela complexidade, pelo alcance e pela velocidade que as redes sociais oferecem. Como resultados, tem-se que as relações nas redes sociais replicam práticas abusivas que ocorrem também fisicamente, causando danos morais e existenciais. Frente a isso é necessário que existam análises e práticas cuidadosas desse tipo de prática, em um esforço conjunto entre Estado, escolas, famílias e administradores de redes sociais, para que possam ser coibidas. Metodologia: método de procedimento hipotético-dedutivo, com abordagem qualitativa e técnica de pesquisa bibliográfico-documental
Ransomware e cibersegurança: a informação ameaçada por ataques a dados
Get PDFThis article aims to address the modality of data hijacking on the internet known as ransomware. Thus, it investigates the possibility of creating sufficient legal regulation to at least mitigate this crime. As its results, it could be found that: i) ransomware represents a major problem, as the data hijacked is currently as valuable as real money, and its use has the power to influence markets, elections and human lives in a very profound way; ii) ransom payments are made mainly by cryptocurrencies, not regulated by States, which complicates the tracking of values up to the criminal, making the punishment almost non-existent; iii) cooperation between companies, citizens and States is necessary to mitigate its occurrence, as this crime does not stick to state territorial borders, being practiced anywhere, with distant victims. Methodology: hypothetical-deductive procedure method, with qualitative approach and bibliographic-documentary research technique.Este artigo objetiva abordar a modalidade de sequestro de dados na internet conhecido como ransomware. Investiga, assim, a possibilidade de ser criada uma regulação jurídica suficiente para ao menos se mitigar esse crime. Como resultados, tem-se que: i) o ransomware representa um grande problema, pois os dados sequestrados são atualmente tão valiosos quanto moeda real, sendo que seu uso tem o poder de influenciar mercados, eleições e vidas humanas de uma forma muito profunda; ii) os pagamentos de resgate se dão mormente por criptomoedas, não reguladas por Estados, o que complexifica o rastreamento dos valores até o criminoso, fazendo com que a punição seja quase inexistente; iii) é necessária, para mitigar a sua ocorrência, a cooperação entre empresas, cidadãos e Estados, pois esse crime não se atém às fronteiras territoriais estatais, sendo praticado em qualquer lugar, com vítimas distantes.

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
