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
Individuum gegen Ö-Norm
Get PDFDer vorliegende Text entstand als Beitrag für den Sammelband zum Thema „Schwierige SchülerInnen im Kunstunterricht“, erschienen in der Schriftenreihe Medien – Kunst – Pädagogik, Band 7, Flensburg University Press, 2013. Die Texte sollten sich an Studierende der Kunsterziehung richten. „Was mache ich mit schwierigen bzw. unmotivierten SchülerInnen im Kunstunterricht?“ lautete die Forschungsfrage, sie bildet den Ausgangspunkt zu dieser Arbeit. Neben einer Reihe an unterschiedlichen Aspekten – sie werden im Verlauf des Textes ersichtlich – stellte sich die Frage nach dem Umgang mit Individualität im BE-Unterricht klar in den Vordergrund der Diskussio
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
Jeder Volksschule ihre KunsterzieherInnen Berufsbegleitende Fortbildung als Chance
Get PDFDie aktuell diskutierte PädagogInnenbildung NEU bringt die Chance für neue Entwicklungen in der Aus- und Weiterbildung. Neben der Diskussion um eine neue Ausbildungsstruktur sollte aber nicht darauf vergessen werden, sich auch um die Inhalte zu kümmern. Lehrpersonen an Volksschulen müssen nach wie vor ein sehr weit gestreutes Unterrichtsfeld bedienen und so ist es meist Zufall, mit welcher Qualität an Inhalten die Kinder in den unterschiedlichen Fachgebieten in Berührung kommen. Zudem stehen den Anforderungen im Bereich der Schule weniger Stunden im aktuellen Studienplan in der Ausbildung (in diesem Artikel ist der Bereich der Bildnerischen Erziehung angesprochen) als früher zur Verfügung. Da dieses Fachgebiet stark von praktischen Tätigkeiten geprägt ist und der Erwerb dieser Kompetenzen zeitabhängig ist, wird das Andenken neuer Aus- und Weiterbildungselemente erforderlich, der nachstehende Artikel beschreibt die Idee der Spezialisierung und beschäftigt sich mit deren Vorteilen für die Unterrichtslandschaft in der Volksschule
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
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
