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

No full textVariations 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
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
Siguiendo el modelo sudamericano: Intercambios transnacionales en la continentalización de la FIFA y creación de la UEFA. 1929-1959
Get PDFIn June 1954, 28 national football associations from all over Europe met in Basel, Switzerland, to create a continental organization. Renamed as Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) in October 1954, in less than ten years it became a major actor in European football, a leading role which it continued to play in the decades that followed. How can the creation of this organization be explained during the Cold War, when Europeans were divided? What were the main sources of inspiration for the advocates of UEFA? From a globalized perspective, this paper addresses these two questions by focusing on the role played by South American football administrators in this process. This research is primarily based on documents from the FIFA archives, in particular the minutes of both the Executive and Emergency Committees and the Congresses, as well as mail correspondence. These documents have been cross-referenced with other archives of national associations and a careful review of L’Equipe and France Football, newspapers with international scope.En junio de 1954, 28 asociaciones nacionales de fútbol de toda Europa se reunieron en la ciudad de Basilea (Suiza) para crear una organización continental. Rebautizada en octubre de 1954 como Unión de Asociaciones Europeas de Fútbol (UEFA), en menos de diez años se convirtió en un actor fundamental en el fútbol europeo, un rol protagónico que siguió ocupando en las décadas siguientes. ¿Qué razones llevaron a los dirigentes del fútbol europeo a crear una organización paneuropea como la UEFA en 1954, un tiempo en que Europa estaba dividida por la Guerra Fría? ¿Cuáles fueron las fuentes de inspiración de los promotores de esta organización? Desde una perspectiva de historia global, el artículo propone responder a estas preguntas haciendo énfasis en la influencia que ejerció Sudamérica sobre los promotores de la UEFA. Esta investigación se basa principalmente en documentos encontrados en los archivos de la FIFA y la UEFA; específicamente, en las actas de los Comités Ejecutivo y de Emergencia, los Congresos y la correspondencia. Además, esta documentación se ha cruzado con documentos provenientes de los archivos de algunas asociaciones nacionales de fútbol y ejemplares de los periódicos franceses L’Auto, L’Equipe y France Football, que hacen hincapié en el desarrollo del fútbol en el ámbito internacional
