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

Tika noskaidrots kā uztvertā skolas klimata un vecāku pārraudzības dimensijas izskaidro pusaudžu kiberupuru un kiberiebiedētāju pieredzi. Pētījumā kopā piedalījās 309 Latvijas skolu skolēni no 5. līdz 12. klasei. Respondenti tika dalīti divās vecuma grupās: 5. – 9. klase (200 respondenti) un 10. – 12. klase (109 respondenti). Pētījumā izmantotās metodes: Vecāku pārraudzības aptauja (Stattin & Kerr, 2000), Skolas klimata aptauja (La Salle, McIntosh, & Eliason, 2016) un Eiropas kiberbiebiedēšanas intervences projekta aptauja (Bright et al., 2012). Pētījumā tika noskaidrots, ka pastāv negatīva saistība starp skolas klimata uztveri, adekvātu vecāku pārraudzību un iebiedēšanu kibervidē. Pastāv statistiski nozīmīgas atšķirības starp grupām 5. – 9. un 10. – 12. klase. Skolas klimata apakšskalas (kārtība un disciplīna, raksturs, sociālais atbalsts no vienaudžiem) un augstāk uztvertā vecāku kontrole statistiski nozīmīgi prognozē kiberiebiedēšanas uzvedību.Purpose of the study was to find out the correlation between adolescence intimidations in cyber environment, perceived school climate and adequate parental monitoring, and if there are statistical differences between groups of students from grade 5 to 9 and 10 to 12. There was identified how perceive school climate and parental monitoring dimension predicts intimidation behavior in cyber environment between adolescence. In the study participated 309 students from Latvian schools of grade 5 to 12.All respondents were divided in 2 groups: grade 5 to 9 (200 respondents) and 10 to 12 (109 respondents). Used methods in the study: Parental Monitoring Survey (Stattin & Kerr, 2000), School Climate Survey Suite (La Salle, McIntosh, & Eliason, 2016) and The European Cyberbullying Intervention Project Questionnaire ECIPQ (Bright et al., 2012). In the study was established that there is negative correlation between perceiving school climate, adequate parental monitoring and intimidation in cyber environment. There are essential statistical differences between groups of grade 5 to 9 and 10 to 12. School climate dimension (less order and discipline, character, social support from adults) and more perceived parental control predicts intimidation behavior in cyber environment
Relation of coping strategy, perceived stress and job satisfaction in Latvian State Police
No full textBakalaura darba mērķis bija noskaidrot vai pastāv statistiski nozīmīga saistība starp policistu stāžu, vecumu, uztverto stresu, uzrādīto stresa pārvarēšanas stratēģiju veidu un apmierinātību ar darbu. Tika izvirzīts sekojošs pētījuma jautājums : Vai pastāv saistība starp vecumu, stāža ilgumu un uztverto stresu, izvēlētajiem stresa pārvarēšanas mehānismiem un apmierinātību ar darbu Latvijas Valsts policistu grupā? Pētījumā piedalījās 69 policisti – sievietes (n=31) un n=(38) vīrieši. Pētījuma instrumenti bija uztvertā stresa skala (Perseives Stress Scale (PSS): Cohen et al., 1988 ), stresa pārvarēšanas stratēģiju aptauja (The Coping Orientation of Problem Experience / COPE/ Inventory, Carven, Scheier, & Weintraub, 1989) un apmierinātība ar darbu aptauja ( Job Satisfaction survey (JSS), Spector, 1985). Pētījuma jautājumu noskaidrošanai tika izmantots Spīrmena korelācijas koeficienti. Tika konstatētas statistiski nozīmīgas sakarības starp iepriekš minētajiem mainīgajiem lielumiem. Uzrādījās, ka tie respondenti, kuri uzrāda augstāku uztverto stresu, norāda zemākus rādītājus kopējai apmierinātībai ar darbu , apmierinātībai ar papildatlīdzību , apmierinātībai ar atzinības saņemšanu, apmierinātībai ar darba kārtību, darba saturu un komunikāciju darba vidē. Savukārt palielinoties policistu stāža ilgumam, samazinās to apmierinātība ar darbu kopumā. Respondenti, kuri norāda, augstākus izvairīšanās stresa pārvarēšanas stratēģiju rādītājus, uzrāda zemāku apmierinātību ar darbu kopumā, īpaši darba kārtību un darba saturu. Policisti, kuri uzrādījuši augstākus uz emocijām orientētu stratēģiju rādītājus, norāda augstāku apmierinātību ar samaksu, izaugsmi un papildatlīdzību. Respondenti, kuri uzrādījuši augstāku uztverto stresu, uzrāda augstākus uz emocijām balstītus stresa pārvarēšanas stratēģiju rādītājus un izvairīšanās stratēģiju rādītājus. Respondentu vecumam ir pozitīva saistība ar uz emocijām orientētām pārvarēšanas stratēģijām, uz problēmām orientētām stresa pārvarēšanas stratēģijām un izvairīšanās stratēģijām. Policisti, kuri ir norādījuši augstāku stāžu, vairāk uzrāda izvairīšanās stratēģijas.The aim of this research was to elucidate is to determine possible correlations between police record of service, age, perceived stress, coping mechanism and work satisfaction. The questions of the bachelor’s were: Is there correlations between police record of service, age, perceived stress, coping mechanism and work satisfaction? Participants of the study were 69 policemen – female (n=31) and male (n=38). Instruments were Perceived Stress Scale (Perseives Stress Scale (PSS): Cohen et al., 1988 ), Coping Mechanism Inventory ( The Coping Orientation of Problem Experience / COPE/ Inventory, Carven, Scheier, & Weintraub, 1989) and Job Satisfaction Inventory ( Job Satisfaction survey ( JSS), Spector, 1985). Methods of the study were Spermens correlations. A statistically significant correlation was found between the above variables. Those respondents who reported higher levels of perceived stress showed lower total satisfaction with work, satisfaction with a bonus, satisfaction with appreciation, satisfaction with the working procedures for the receipt, the content and communications work environment. While the increase in the duration of the police service, reduce its satisfaction with the work as a whole. Those respondents who reported higher levels of perceived stress showed lower the total satisfaction with work, satisfaction with a bonus, satisfaction with appreciation, satisfaction with the working procedures for the receipt, the content and communications work environment. While the increase in the duration of the police service, reduce its satisfaction with the work as a whole. Respondents who indicates higher performance, avoiding the stress management strategy shows a lower satisfaction with the work as a whole, in particular the agenda and the content. Police, who have higher rates of emotional oriented strategies, indicates a higher satisfaction with pay growth and a bonus. Respondents who have higher levels of perceived stress, produce higher stress management strategy based on emotions and avoidance strategy indicators. The age of the respondents have a positive relationship with management strategies focus on emotion, stress management strategies focus on issues and strategies. The police officers who have pointed to a higher, more length shall be presented to the avoidance strategies
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
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
