Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
Dialogue between a person and architecture
No full textThe study is a reflection on a dialogue, that arises between a person and architecture in his perceptual experience. In the assumption the research was referred to the definition of dialogue as an interpersonal conversation – an exchange of ideas that is accompanied by non-verbal communication and it was noticed that the dialogue between a person and architecture involves an inner dialogue of a person including: his dialog with himself, with the author of architecture through its medium and dialogue of the human body with the body of architecture through the physical matter. The aim of the reflection is a detailed analysis of human dialogue with architecture, especially its role in the perceptual experience of architecture. It was refers to the definition of the atmosphere of architecture and it was recognized that in the dialogue with architecture a person receives its atmosphere, which gives a measure and sense. At the same time, the person is in dialogue with the architect – the author of a perceived work, with whom the knowledge, direct or indirect, including a real conversa on through words, texts, non-verbal communication, has a significant impact on the research. Examples of this dialogue occur in the history and modernity of architecture from l’architecture parlante of Claude Nicolas Ledoux to Peter Zumthor’s thinking architecture. As the research method was considered the analysis of the perceptive experience of the author of this article. The conclusions pointed to the specific effects of dialogue with architecture and its benefits for the experience of perceptual architecture.Badanie ma charakter rozważań nad dialogiem, rodzącym się między człowiekiem a architekturą w jej doświadczeniu percepcyjnym. Odniesiono się do pojęcia dialogu jako interpersonalnej rozmowy – wymiany myśli, której towarzyszy komunikacja niewerbalna – i zauważono, że w świetle tego pojęcia przedmiot badania obejmuje wewnętrzny dialog człowieka z samym sobą i z autorem architektury poprzez jej medium oraz niewerbalny dialog ciała człowieka z ciałem architektury na płaszczyźnie fizykalnej materii. Celem rozważania jest szczegółowa analiza dialogu człowieka z architekturą, zwłaszcza jego roli w doświadczeniu percepcyjnym architektury. Odniesiono się do definicji atmosfery architektury i uznano, że w dialogu z architekturą człowiek odbiera jej atmosferę, której nadaje miarę i sens. Jednocześnie człowiek dialoguje z myślą architekta – autora percypowanego dzieła, z którym znajomość, pośrednia lub bezpośrednia, obejmująca rzeczywistą rozmowę za pomocą słów, tekstów czy komunikacji niewerbalnej, ma istotny wpływ na badanie. Przykłady omawianego dialogu wskazano w historii i współczesności, od l’architecture parlante Claude’a Nicolasa Ledoux do myślenia/obmyślania architektury, zapisanego przez Petera Zumthora. We wnioskach wskazano konkretne efekty dialogowania z architekturą i jego korzyści dla doświadczenia percepcyjnego samej architektury
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe 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

Sunlight, Atmosphere and Architecture
No full text"This work discusses the complex dependencies between the relationship of sunlight and the architecture of the interior and the atmosphere of the interior.
The Introduction features an outline of the content of the work as the dependence between sunlight and architecture of the interior and the atmosphere of architecture. Examples of interiors in which an intended atmosphere was generated via a specific relationship between sunlight and architecture were listed. It was noted that the relationship between sunlight and architecture is an essential component/building block of the atmosphere of architecture, that is appreciated by architects and can be designed within an interior. The author also noted the reflection on the atmosphere of architecture present in architectural criticism and the theory of architecture.
Chapter I includes a detailed outline of the object of the study, its scope and perspective: sunlight in the interior in a relationship with architecture in the aspect of the atmosphere of architecture. No temporal or territorial scope was outlined for Chapters I–IV, while for the case studies presented in Chapters V and VI—the analysis was limited to European and Japanese interiors from the period between 1965 and 2015 that the author could study via direct experience. Key terms were explained: light, sunlight, interior, the atmosphere of architecture, as well as the method of the study, its objective and its novel elements. The chapter also discusses the state of research, comprised of the literature quoted and used in the work."(...)This monograph was published as a part of the project ‘KA 2.0 – the development programme

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
