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
The source for the historiography of Ukrainian Easter eggs painting of the late XIX – early XX century.
No full textThe author publishes materials on the historiography of Ukrainian Easter eggs painting at the end of
the 19s and 20s years of the XXth century prepared by T. Myshkivska. The researcher tries to analyze the most
well-known publications of M. Sumtsov, S. Kulzhynskyi, M. Korduby, K. Sherotskyi, I. Gurguly, published in
Ukraine and abroad, in particular the work of V. Shcherbakivskyi, published in the Czech Republic in 1925 etc.
Her research is stored in the Archives of Scientifi c Collections of Manuscripts and Phonographs of
M.T. Rylskyi IAFE NAS of Ukraine, in the fund of the Ethnographic Commission of the AUAS.
The purpose of the article is to publish the archive primary source, and to familiarize it with a wide
range of scientists.
During the work the methods of search, systematization, analysis of the received data were used.
The work of the scientifi c archive of the Institute’s manuscripts and other sources gave the author the opportunity
to state that the scientifi c heritage of T. Myshkivska for the study of the theme of Easter eggs painting, as well
as its ornamental motifs, is rather diverse, requires proper studying and introduction to scientifi c circulation
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
EASTER EGG IN FOLKLORE AND ETHNOGRAPHIC MATERIALS
No full textThe article deals with the place of Easter eggs in folklore genres associated with the usual ritual traditions of Easter celebrations. Using the methods of searching, analysing, comparison and generalization, the author established that the ancient Slavs honored the egg as a symbol of life and sun, which resurrects and enlivens all living things. In Many Slavic nations, and Ukrainian in particular, it was believed that in the egg hid not only the visible material world with its progress and life, but also the soul itself that enlivens the person. Usually Easter egg and krashanky are associated with “sprinklers”-guays, with boyish games and other customs. Easter games were inspired by the motives of congratulatory campaigns, cleaning elements and the ability to trace the world view in them. All the hawks-hawks symbolize the spring awakening of nature and human feelings, the beginning of spring cereal works. In the overwhelming majority in each spring dance, the motifs of the elements of the Easter egg ornament and the name or schemes of dance-game are echoed. The girls gave their Easter eggs, which were a symbol of love, to the boys. The brightest moment of the festive Easter tour around a significant territory of Ukraine is «dragging», going from house to house with consecrated food and congratulations, which takes place especially on Easter Monday. All the Easter games, round dances, christosongs were accompanied by elements of folklore, which has its own peculiarities in content and purpose
