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
“La Dirección de Instrucción Pública (…) hará imprimir y circular libros elementales”. Textos para las escuelas, Oaxaca siglo XIX
No full textOnce Mexico’s independence was achieved, the elites of the new republican regime agreed on the importance of education for subjects to become citizens, for indigenous people to transform into “civilized” individuals, and for the country to aspire to progress. To this end, the states of the republic built their own public education systems throughout the 19th century, which required a substantial allocation from the treasury, a legal-administrative-bureaucratic framework, infrastructure, and teaching staff for their initiation and development. The governments in power were also responsible for creating and distributing educational materials, school supplies, and textbooks. This article aims to provide an initial approach to the presence of school manuals in the State of Oaxaca, particularly between the 1860s and the late 19th century. Through government reports, legislative sources and accounts from teachers, it documents the state government’s interest in printing and circulating these materials and outlines a qualitative analysis of their effective presence in schools.Una vez consumada la independencia de México, las élites del nuevo régimen republicano coincidieron en la importancia de la educación para que los súbditos se volvieran ciudadanos, los indígenas se transformaran en individuos “civilizados” y el país pudiera aspirar al progreso. Para eso los estados de la república, a lo largo del siglo xix, fueron construyendo sus propios sistemas educativos públicos, los cuales, para su arranque y desarrollo, necesitaron de una sustancial partida del erario, un andamio legal-administrativo-burocrático, infraestructuras y personal docente. Faena de los gobiernos en turno fueron también la creación y distribución de materiales didácticos, útiles escolares y libros de texto. El presente artículo tiene el objetivo de proporcionar una primera aproximación a la presencia de los manuales escolares en el estado de Oaxaca, en particular entre la década de los sesenta y finales del siglo xix. A través de informes de gobierno, fuentes legislativas y relaciones de profesores se documenta el interés del gobierno del estado por la impresión y circulación de estos materiales y se esboza un análisis cualitativo de su presencia real en las escuelas

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
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
