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
INCONSISTENCY OF MARKET LAWS IN PRICE CHANGES AND PRICE-FORMING ATTRACTOR
Get PDFThe article critically examines the most frequently used in the scientific community the fundamental laws of price formation in a market economy. The author also reveals the incompleteness and lack of complexity in the interpretation of the Marxist direction of the labor theory of value by the subjects of the state economy of the Soviet period. New questions about the role of prices in global market processes, paradigms and definitions of pricing arise in the ongoing radical changes in geo-economics.In the complex interconnection to explore the role, importance, degree of dominance and signs of dominance of the most important basic laws of economic development and factors in the formation and change of prices in the dialectical relationship with changing conditions.The main method of research is the dialectical approach by which the author demonstrates on models the action, interaction, mutual influence of the fundamental laws of the market and the conditions underlying changes in market conditions and, consequently, prices. The fundamental components of the price allocated by the author are investigated as categorical oppositions.The author identifies financial and marketing components in the concept of price, reveals and substantiates the features and conditions that determine the predominance of one of these components. The article shows how under the influence of the laws of the market at different stages of the product’s life cycle in the changing of the entropy of prices is established a vibrational mode associated with the center of swing of the pendulum.Established a legitimate regime of prices’ entropy as the resultant of the interests of the parts of the converging it, determine the trajectory of price fluctuations and gradually comply the neighboring modes (transients) with the most common key law of pricing. To this conclusion, the author comes, exploring the interaction of various laws in the market processes of recent decades
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
