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
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
Migrations et emplois à l’île de La Réunion
Get PDFDepuis sa départementalisation en 1946, l’île de La Réunion a connu de profondes mutations et des transitions multiples (politique, épidémiologique, démographique, familiale, économique et sociale) dont la caractéristique commune est leur simultanéité et leur rapidité. Aujourd’hui, le niveau de développement de La Réunion est élevé, mais il convient de relativiser le caractère positif de ces évolutions au niveau individuel en raison du niveau élevé du chômage et du maintien d’inégalités sociales marquées. Cette recherche s’interroge sur les relations entre migrations et développement à La Réunion en s’appuyant sur une analyse quantitative des données des recensements de la population. L’analyse porte notamment sur les effets démographiques et les conséquences sociales des migrations.Since 1946 and the integration of the former colony of La Réunion into the national territory (département) this island territory has gone through profound change and numerous transitions (political, epidemiological, demographic, family, economic and social) whose common feature is their simultaneity and their speed. Today, the level of development of Reunion Island is high, but the positive nature of this transition at the aggregate level needs to be set against individual level trends, notably high unemployment and persisting social inequalities. This study examines the relationship between migration and development in Reunion Island based on analysis of population census data. In particular, we examine the demographic and social consequences of migration.Desde la departamentalización en 1946, la isla de Reunión ha experimentado profundos cambios y transiciones múltiples (políticos, epidemiológicos, demográficos, familiares, económicos y sociales) cuya característica común es su simultaneidad y rapidez. Hoy en día,el nivel de desarrollode LaReuniónes alto, perodebe relativizarse elpunto de vista positivode estos avancesa nivel individual a causa del altonivel de desempleoy de las desigualdades socialesexistentes.

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
Les migrations : formes et implications sur le marché du travail
No full textIntroduction Étudier les migrations à la Réunion soulève deux difficultés conceptuellement différentes. La première est celle de la mesure des mouvements migratoires. Nous consacrons à cette question une note méthodologique en annexe qui propose un inventaire détaillé des différentes sources de données mobilisables mais qui indique aussi leurs limites. La seconde difficulté réside dans la spécificité des migrations réunionnaises, qui s’apparentent à la fois à des migrations internes et à des ..
