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
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
Práticas transnacionais da segunda geração de imigrantes brasileiros em Massachusetts
Get PDFOrientador: Prof. Dr. Márcio de OliveiraTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal do Paraná, Setor de Ciências Humanas, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Sociologia. Defesa : Curitiba, 25/11/2024Inclui referênciasÁrea de concentração: SociologiaResumo: Esta tese investiga as práticas transnacionais da segunda geração de imigrantes brasileiros em Massachusetts, analisando como são mobilizadas ao longo das trajetórias desses jovens em diversos contextos. O estudo foi realizado no Programa de Pós-Graduação em Sociologia da Universidade Federal do Paraná (UFPR), com apoio da CAPES e baseia-se em entrevistas qualitativas semiestruturadas com 12 jovens brasileiros de segunda geração, com idades entre 18 e 29 anos, residentes em Massachusetts. A pesquisa busca compreender de que maneira essas práticas são contribuem para superação de desafios e a procura por oportunidades em um cenário migratório complexo. Para tanto, a análise organiza-se em três eixos — político, econômico e social —,por meio dos quais se investiga o impacto dessas ações nas trajetórias acadêmicas e profissionais dos participantes. Os resultados mostram que, apesar das dificuldades enfrentadas, as práticas transnacionais exercem um papel fundamental na preservação dos laços culturais e na promoção da mobilidade social. Nesse sentido, destacam-se, sobretudo, a importância do bilinguismo e da forte identificação com o Brasil, elementos que favorecem conquistas significativas e reforçam a conexão contínua desses jovens com suas raízes culturaisAbstract: This thesis investigates the transnational practices of second-generation Brazilian immigrants in Massachusetts, analyzing how they are mobilized throughout the trajectories of these young people in different contexts. The study was conducted in the Graduate Program in Sociology at the Federal University of Paraná (UFPR), with support from CAPES, and is based on semi-structured qualitative interviews with 12 second-generation Brazilian young people, aged between 18 and 29, living in Massachusetts. The research seeks to understand how these practices contribute to overcoming challenges and seeking opportunities in a complex migratory scenario. To this end, the analysis is organized into three axes — political, economic, and social — through which the impact of these actions on the academic and professional trajectories of the participants is investigated. The results show that, despite the difficulties faced, transnational practices play a fundamental role in preserving cultural ties and promoting social mobility. In this sense, the importance of bilingualism and a strong identification with Brazil stand out, elements that favor significant achievements and reinforce the continuous connection of these young people with their cultural root
Estado e políticas sociais para a pesca artesanal: um debate sobre o trabalho feminino na pesca
Get PDFHistoricamente no Brasil as comunidades pesqueiras que praticam a pesca artesanal têm tido enfrentamentos constantes na esfera pública, em relação a busca por direitos trabalhistas, sociais e políticos. Essas dificuldades enfrentadas pelos pescadores e pescadoras, se tornam históricas, principalmente quando observamos as medidas tomadas pelo estado no que diz respeito ao setor pesqueiro. O objetivo dessa comunicação é descrever e analisar a partir de uma lógica da divisão sexual do trabalho os impasses e as desigualdades do trabalho feminino na pesca artesanal, que relaciona o trabalho feminino ao ambiente doméstico e privado. Naturalizar essa posição não só reduz a atividades como o do beneficiamento do pescado como mera atividade de auxiliar, como contribui para um protagonismo dos homens no interior dos movimentos sociais e da categoria
