Report: UNSD/ECA workshop on environmental statistics, indicators and accounting
No full textThe document is a report on the UNSD/ECA Workshop on Environmental Statistics, Indicators, and Accounting held from November 17-21, 1997, in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. It covers the organization of the workshop, opening statements, election of officers, adoption of the agenda, international programs on environmental statistics, presentations and discussions on environmental statistics and indicators, environmental accounting, capacity building, training, and the development of national and regional programs. The report includes country presentations, working group activities, and recommendations for improving environmental statistics and accounting in member states
Survey on the Implementation of the Cape Town Global Action Plan for Sustainable Development Data
Get PDFSince its launch in January 2017 at
the first UN World Data Forum in South Africa, and its
formal adoption by the United Nations Statistical Commission
at its forty-eighth session in March 2017, the Cape Town
Global Action Plan for Sustainable Development Data (CTGAP)
has provided a framework for planning and implementing the
statistical capacity building activities needed to achieve
the scope and intent of the 2030 agenda for sustainable
development, and to mobilize funding for the modernization
of national statistical systems across the world. However,
when the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic hit the world in
early 2020, national statistical authorities and the
international statistical community inevitably shifted their
attention to the immediate challenge of ensuring the
continuity of the most basic statistical operations, and to
addressing new, urgent data demands. As a consequence,
significant resources were diverted away from longer-term
initiatives aimed at achieving the shared goals crystallized
in the commitment and vision of the CTGAP. This report
presents the results of a survey conducted by the World
Bank, the United Nations Statistics Division (UNSD), and
PARIS21, with the aim to inform actions by decision makers
and international partners to implement, monitor, and
finance the CTGAP. This last survey was launched with the
purpose of seeing beyond the immediate crisis, and to ensure
that the current constraints do not distract attention from
the common goals enshrined in the 2030 agenda for
sustainable development and the implementation of the CTGAP
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
