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
”The tale of two smart cities”
Get PDFAnte Scriptum: Every leap of development or revolution in the history of human civilization had as its preamble a period of theoretical searches and confrontations, which were the catalysts of the respective shifts in the historical paradigm. Theorizing has its purpose, and the aim of this paper is to pave the way for an adaptation of architectural theory to new concepts related to the smart city model. We also investigate the predictability of the destiny of the smart city organism and the possible directions of morphogenesis. This article was translated from Romanian by the author. The study is based on revisiting the concepts of place and limit with new connotations developed by technology that has a mediating role vis-a?-vis the individual and communities. By redefining them, the concepts acquire characteristics of variables or mathematical functions, which can effectively study or generate future behavior patterns of smart cities, these dual territorial entities, with body and, here, an artificial intelligence AI (IoT, applications, cloud, software). One of these models is the theory of catastrophe, which can predict the limits of acceptance of phenomenological saturation (in the philosophical sense of Jean-luc Marion) by the individual, or in extremes, by society. We will describe how the theory of catastrophe can be applied using notions of quantum architecture theory, and how the philosophical system of donation described by Marion can help draw the boundaries of the existence of the smart city. The approach is theoretical using inference, observation and exemplification through case studies. The research methods can only be of an eclectic and interdisciplinary nature, linking the theories of architectural atmospheres, of the donation of phenomenological philosophy and of appliedmathematics. The method of translating into quantifiable variables the values of place and limit, is based on the loading of the notion of place of Christian Norberg-Schulz, with valences connected to the specificity given by the mediation of technology between individual and place. The results are models of behavior of a bivalent nature, philosophical and mathematical, to describe a new theory of architecture, a theory of the smart place. This type of architectural place with its set of parameters, is a new element of study, in continuation of research in the field of architecture aimed at reducing risk and preventing losses from hazards that threaten this smart city, either anthropogenic or natural
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
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
Sincronizarea atmosferelor smart
Get PDFVedem evenimentul pandemic din 2020 ca pe o oportunitate interesanta de a sublinia importanta cercetarii atmosferelor arhitecturale ca influente de comportament social. Etimologia cuvantului ”atmosfera” conecteaza in viziunea noastra dezastrul de tip „airquake” al lui Peter Sloterdijk (concretizat iata inca o data consecutiv dezvoltarii armamentului cu gaze toxice din 1914 si suprematiei atmosferelor sociale curatoriate de media din era postmoderna). COVID-19 - acest nou tip de „airquake” se suprapune demonstratiilor de putere ale retelelor sociale si a unei accentuate globalizari. Pentru a ne pregati pledoaria pentru sincronizarea atmosferelor inteligente, definim din nou conceptele de limita inteligenta si loc inteligent derivate din abordarea arhitecturala si tehnologica interdisciplinara, impreuna cu noul concept de atmosfere inteligente. Dupa ce C. Borch a declarat ca proiectarea atmosferelor arhitecturale este intim legata de putere (2), studiem conceptul de atmosfera inteligenta care sintetizeaza trasaturi senzoriale arhitecturale, tehnologice si politice.. Atmosferele politice inteligente vor completa in contradistinctie trilogia sferica propusa de filosoful P. Sloterdijk in 2004: ”bubbles” - microsfere marcate dihotomic, globuri - sau macrosfere si ”foams” - - spume - plurisfere. E-guvernarea este un aspect al unei sfere digitale globale recent aparute concomitent saltului inteligent tehnologic. Acesta ar putea fi ultimul tip de sfera, si o vom defini ca meta-sfera, deoarece combina toate trasaturile trilogiei sferelor Sloterdijk. Ea include binomul utilizator- tehnologie, plurisferele mediilor moderne interdependente, dar autosuficiente, cu adapostul ideologic larg al apartenentei-impreuna pe care internetul (ca macrosfera) il garanteaza. In conditiile reale de pandemie, spuma atmosferelor inteligente nu mai este vaga, dar este modelata de noua meta-sfera a controlului tehnologic, favorizand ideile de apropiere sociala si distantare fizica. Atmosferele inteligente definite prin caracteristici vizuale, acustice, aromatice, haptice, politice, informationale si arhitecturale vor suferi o schimbare ca raspuns la pandemie, de la colectiv la individual, de la ierarhic la distribuit (moduri de invatare Elmer). Acest lucru poate limita influenta aspectelor arhitecturale si multisenzoriale ale atmosferelor inteligente la cele legate de locuinte, dar va diminua influenta aspectelor politice si informationale, intr-un mod in care atmosferele politice vor deveni in cele din urma un domeniu paradoxal, concomitent familiar si indepartat. Vedem sincronizarea necesara a acestor campuri de imunitate segregate de pandemie; sincronizarea este cuvantul generic care coreleaza persuasiunea e-guvernarii, reducand decalajul tehnologic si arhitectural pentru a atinge dezideratul real de „gestionare a posibilitatilor” eficienta (Foucault)
