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
The best of progress in the Latin American societies of the twentieth century : the example of Romulo Gallegos in Dona Barbara
No full textLe mot 'moderne' est associé, la plupart du temps, de façon positive, par la société, à des choses et des personnes qui ont excellé dans des domaines divers et qui ont fait des découvertes nouvelles pour les communautés dont ils sont issus. le concept de 'modernité' repose quant à lui sur une vision plus subjective. que signifie cette notion ? cette thèse, dont le sujet est : 'modernité et progrès dans les sociétés latino-américaines du XXème siècle: l'exemple de doña Barbara de Romulo Gallegos' va se centrer sur cette œuvre vénézuélienne contemporaine, du XXème siècle, dont le personnage principal est une femme cruelle, corrompue et avide de richesse. ce travail de recherche de doctorat portera sur les concepts d'évolution, de modernité et de progrès d'un point de vue ethnologique, politique, littéraire et territorial en grande partie, et couvrant les thèmes dépeints dans le roman de Gallegos parmi d'autres œuvres liées au dit-thème. les concepts de société, de monde développé, des 'Amériques', de civilisations primitives etc. seront évidemment abordés lors de ce travail ainsi que l'auteur Romulo Gallegos. en conclusion de mon mémoire de master, 2 portant sur le monde 'moderne' et primitif, j'étais arrivé à la question: 'la notion de confort dans sa pluralité, ne nous a-t'-elle pas éloigné des racines primitives que sont les autres hommes et de l'essence de la vie?' c'est bel et bien la conclusion à laquelle, arrive le protagoniste de los pasos perdidos, de l'auteur Alejo Carpentier, roman que j'avais pris pour sujet de ce sujet de master 1 et 2. désormais, pour cette thèse, mes recherches vont se centrer sur les significations et leurs applications, pour les sociétés latino-américaines, des termes suivants : l'évolution, le progrès et la ou les modernité(s) focalisant ainsi mon travail sur l'œuvre de doña Barbara, exemple à part entière de confusion, d'anarchie, de despotisme, et d'injustice ; tant de termes qui représentent nos sociétés actuelles.The word "modern" is associated, mostly in a positive way, by society, things and people who have excelled in various fields and have made new discoveries for the communities from which they come. The concept of "modernity" lies however on a more subjective vision. What does it mean? This thesis, whose subject is: "The challenge of Progress in the Latino-American societies of the twentieth century: the case of Doña Barbara from Romulo Gallegos", will focus on this Venezuelan contemporary novel from the twentieth century, whose main character is a cruel-corrupted and greedy woman. This doctorate research will focus on the concepts of evolution, modernity and progress from an ethnological point of view, as also political, literary and territorial aspects, largely covering then the themes portrayed in the novel by Gallegos among others novels related to this PhD’s main theme. The concepts of society, developed world, primitive "Americas" and so on, will obviously be addressed during this work, as well as the presentation of the author: Romulo Gallegos. In conclusion of my previous Master's thesis, based on the contrasts of both the "modern" and “primitive” world, I came to end the work with the following question: “The concept of comfort in its plurality did it not withdrawn us away from the primitive roots and human beings that represent our life’s true essence?” This is indeed the conclusion, to which the protagonist arrives to, in Los pasos perdidos by Cuban author Alejo Carpentier, a novel that I had work on with dissimilar subjects for my Master 1 and 2. Now, for this PhD’s thesis, my research will focus on the meanings and applications for Latino-American societies, on the following terms: evolution, progress and modernity and I’ll start the research with the novel: Doña Barbara, as the perfect example of confusion, anarchy, despotism, and injustice; in fact so many words that are very representative of our current societies’ working mode

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
