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
Tanssinopettajaopiskelijoiden kokemuksia onnistumisesta
Full text linkTämä on Turun ammattikorkeakoulun Taideakatemian tanssinopettajakoulutuksen (AMK) taiteellisen opinnäytetyön kirjallinen osio. Opinnäytetyön taideteko on sooloteos ”Syväpuhdistus”, joka esitetään Turun ammattikorkeakoulun Taideakatemialla 20. toukokuuta 2019.
Opinnäytetyö käsittelee onnistumisen tunnetta ja kokemuksia tanssissa. Opinnäytetyöni teoreettinen viitekehys koostuu onnistumiseen liittyvästä lähdekirjallisuudesta. Työn kirjallisessa ja taiteellisessa osiossa on käytetty tutkimusaineistona myös Taideakatemian tanssinopettajalinjan 4. vuosikurssin tanssinopettajaopiskelijoille tehtyjä haastatteluita. Haastattelut toimivat inspiraation lähteenä opinnäytetyön taideteon luomisprosessissa. Työ keskittyy onnistumisen merkitykseen ja vaikutuksiin tanssissa, mutta työn ajatukset ovat sovellettavissa myös muihin, etenkin taiteen aloihin.
Työssä on viisi päälukua, josta ensimmäinen on johdanto, joka avaa opinnäytetyön tavoitteet ja sisällön. Toinen luku käsittelee onnistumisen teoriaa kirjallisuuslähteitä hyödyntäen. Kolmas luku käsittelee työhön tehtyjä haastatteluita ja niistä tehtyjä havaintoja. Neljäs luku on prosessikuvaus opinnäytetyön taideteosta ja viides luku toimii työn yhteenvetona.
Opinnäytetyössä tulee ilmi, että onnistuminen on motivoiva ja positiivinen tunne. Opinnäytetyön päähavainto on, että onnistumisen merkitys ja vaikutus tanssissa ja sen parissa työskenteleville on suuri. Onnistumisen kokemukset kasvattavat itsetuntoa, vahvistavat ammatti-identiteettiä sekä pitävät meidät motivoituneena kehittämään itseämme niin tanssijoina, tanssinopettajina kuin koreografeina.This study is written as partial fulfillment of the Dance Teacher Degree / Bachelor of Dance, at the Turku University of Applied Sciences, Ltd. The artistic choreographic part of the degree is a solo performance “Syväpuhdistus”, which will be performed 20th of May 2019 in Arts Academy, Turku.
The study is focused on understanding the meaning and influence of succeeding in dance. Its references are literary references regarding succeeding and interviews of Arts Academy’s 4th year dance teacher students’ experiences of succeeding in dance. This thesis is made from dancer’s point of view, but its aspects can also be adjusted in other areas of work or study.
The study contains five main chapters. The first chapter is an introduction to study’s goals and content and the second chapter is theory behind succeeding, using written source material as a reference. The third chapter is focused on opening the findings from the interviews and the fourth chapter tells about the study’s choreographic performance and its process. The fifth chapter closes everything together.
Main conclusion of this study is that the meaning and influence of succeeding in dance is crucial. The experiences of succeeding builds one’s self-confidence, strengthens professional identity and keeps us motivated to grow and evolve as dancers, dance teachers and choreographers
“The way you do anything, is the way you do everything” ~ thoughts about performance art, practices, cycles, sustainability, life, death, (re)birth...
No full textThis document is a written component of my artistic thesis work for Dance Performance Master’s Studies in Theatre Academy, University of the Arts | Uniarts Helsinki. It is a reflection of my two-year MA studies about perspectives on making performance art and its sustainability, everyday practices that can work as a foundation for artistic practices, cycle conscious living | creating and big questions of life, death and (re)birth. The work has a red thread that it follows ~ the cyclicality of the female hormonal cycle and its connection to the seasons in nature.
The work has three introductions: Introduction 1 ~ “Welcome, my name is Mathilda” that works as an introduction to the themes of the work and how I perceive life and art at the moment, Introduction 2 ~ This thesis, the basics that gives the reader the practical information about the thesis and on how to read this work and Introduction 3 ~ Cycles, practices that works as a background information for the chosen perspectives of the work like cycle consciousness, cyclical living and everyday practices that blend with artistic practices.
After the introductions the work has four main chapters ~ Phase I, II, III and IV, that represent the phases of a biological woman’s hormonal cycles when unaltered by pharmaceutical drugs or hormonal contraception and they are paired | connected with different elements and seasons that work as a catalyst on reflecting the studies.
In the first main chapters Phase I ~ winter, water, new moon, night I continue opening the knowledge of the first phase of the female hormonal cycle, the menstruation, also known as “the inner winter”. In this chapter I reflect on my MA solo From Source and Deep cleansing to Rebirth (2023) and the importance of water and research in my practice.
In the second chapter Phase II ~ spring, air, sunrise I give an introduction for the next phase of the menstrual cycle ~ “the inner spring”, unwrap ACO: boxytocin (by Avgoustina Triarou, 2024) and my artistic thesis The Last Rite of Spring (by Renan Martins, 2024) projects and expand the importance of quantum biological practices in my everyday life and artistic work.
In the third chapter Phase III ~ summer, earth, full moon, day I continue with an introduction of the third phase of the moon cycle ~ “the inner summer”, reflect on nora chipaumire’s wisdom, talk about my perspectives and importances of sustainable working and thoughts about freedom and captivity.
In the fourth chapter Phase IV ~ autumn, fire, sunset I talk about the last phase of the menstrual cycle ~ “the inner autumn”, walk through Valgie verevä (2025) project and share my thoughts about audience engagement and rituals.
Thesis ends with a Conclusions chapter that sums up thoughts about writing the thesis, studying in Theatre Academy, what happens next and who I want to thank and acknowledge regarding my MA studies and this thesis
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
