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
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
ReForm: Architecture with social approach
No full textDette kandidatspeciale i arkitektur, med titlen ReForm tager udgangspunkt i omdannelsen af et fysisk og socialt nedslidt boligområde, domineret af store modernistiske betonbebyggelser. Der er arbejdet med hvorledes en kombination af renovering, nedrivning og nybyg kan redefinere området, men samtidig bevare og forstærke eksisterende kvaliteter. Nybyggeriet skal forholde sig til den modernistiske kontekst, men samtidig sætte sit eget præg på området i en nutidig arkitektur
HGSD 05 ° 13E 59 ° 23N : new city library
No full textHGSD 05 ° 13E 59 ° 23N er et master projekt skrevet af Bodil Udstuen Hovden, med speciale i arkitektur fra Institut for Arkitektur, Design og Mediateknologi, ved Aalborg Universitet.Opgaven er at designe et nyt og bæredygtigt bibliotek til havnebyen Haugesund, beliggende på vestkysten af det sydlige Norge. Byen er en livlig by med cirka 45.000 indbyggere og med en omgivende befolkning på cirka 100.000. Projektet er ikke en del af en konkurrence eller et planlagt projekt, men lavet til denne master opgave.Med det nye biblioteket ønskes der at bringe nyt liv og en ny funktion til byens centrum. Huset skal være en ny social platform og et pulserende hus beliggende ved rådhuspladsen blandt nogle af byens mest markante og vigtigste bygninger såsom Rådhuset og domhuset.Designet skal være funktionelt og skal indeholde alle de funktioner et moderne bibliotek kræver. Biblioteket skal endvidere udformes som et lavenergibyggeri, målet er at holde projektet inden for eller under kravene til en offentlig 2020 bygning. Kravet for energi forbruget ved en offentlig bygning i 2020 kravene, er et maksimalt energiforbrug på 25 kWh pr opvarmede kvadratmeter per år. Det endelige resultat er en bygning som gennem funktionel intuitiv indretning tillader den besøgende at gå på opdagelse op igennem den roterende atriumbaserede midterakse. For til sidst at ende på bygningens grønne tag med udsigt ud over den nærliggende havn og de omkringliggende hustage. HGSD 05 ° 13E 59 ° 23N is a master project written by Bodil Udstuen Hovden, specializing in architecture from the Department of Architecture, Design and Media Technology at Aalborg University.The task is to design a new and sustainable library to the port city of Haugesund, located on the west coast of southern Norway. The city is a lively city with approximately 45,000 inhabitants and with a surrounding population of approximately 100,000.The project is not part of a competition or a planned project, but made for this master project.The new library is desired to bring new life and a new feature to the city center. The house must be a new social platform and a vibrant house situated at the town hall place among some of the most significant and important buildings such as City Hall and Courthouse.Designed to be functional and must contain all the features a modern library requires. The library must also be designed as a low energy building. The goal is to keep the project within or under the requirements of a 2020 public building. The demand for energy consumption in a public building in the 2020 requirements is a maximum energy consumption of 25 kWh per heated square feet per year.The final result is a building which through functional intuitive layout allows the visitor to explore up through the rotating sodium-based central axis. Finally, to end the building's green roof overlooking the nearby harbor and surrounding rooftops.<br/
A Library in Hyde Park: Covered By Emotion
No full textThe presented project is the master thesis of Semiha Toptas from the Department of Architecture & Design at Aalborg University, Denmark, 2018. The thesis is a final architectural project that proposes a design of a New Public Library in London, UK, by using research-informed -and integrated design methods with sustainable design aspects. Furthermore, a study of the body, mind and the emotions of the human being will be carried out, to design architecture that is in close relation to the physical and mental needs of the visitors and to understand the impact of the architectural and environmental context on the human beings.The presented project is the master thesis of Semiha Toptas from the Department of Architecture & Design at Aalborg University, Denmark, 2018.
