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
Concepções do pai acerca da prematuridade do seu filho
Full text linkDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas. Programa de Pós-Graduação em Psicologia.A família é contexto de pesquisa importante, apesar das transformações que sofre e, dentro dela, o pai vem adquirindo maior visibilidade na literatura científica nos últimos anos. Pesquisadores passam a buscar o papel do progenitor no desenvolvimento do filho, bem como as formas como ambos interagem dentro do contexto familiar. A prematuridade vem igualmente recebendo a atenção de pesquisadores, na busca de melhorar a interação do recém nascido (RN) com sua família. Porém, a maioria dessas pesquisas desconsidera a importância do pai no desenvolvimento da criança prematura, bem como a relevância da interação pai-filho na própria construção da paternidade, encontrando-se então uma lacuna no processo de tornar-se pai. Esta Dissertação de Mestrado se propôs a investigar as concepções do pai acerca da prematuridade do filho e o cuidado exercido a este durante a hospitalização em Unidade de Tratamento Intensivo Neonatal. Trata-se de uma pesquisa de cunho descritivo e exploratório, baseado no método qualitativo. A população pesquisada constituiu-se de vinte homens que tinham seus bebês internados em um hospital da Grande Florianópolis, dos quais dez primíparos e dez multíparos. O trabalho foi realizado por meio de entrevistas semi-estruturadas, e a análise se deu a partir do conteúdo verbal da entrevista. A partir do discurso, constituíram-se as categorias, que foram encaixadas nas Unidades Temáticas pré-estabelecidas. O estudo foi orientado a partir da visão sistêmica, na interface da psicologia da saúde e do desenvolvimento. A pesquisa permitiu a percepção da influência dos contextos que envolvem o pai e a família na forma como o homem vivencia a paternidade e prematuridade de seu filho. O participante entende a prematuridade como sendo o fato de o bebê nascer antes do término da gestação e conecta a isso questões de fragilidade, sensibilidade, doença, baixo peso, má formação, necessidade de cuidados especiais e risco de morte. Mesmo com esses fatores, a pesquisa evidenciou que o pai tem, de maneira geral, sentimentos positivos e esperançosos frente ao prematuro. O estudo demonstrou ainda que o homem está vivendo a paternidade de forma mais ativa. Essa participação se inicia na gestação, continua no parto e no puerpério. Além disso, a pesquisa constatou que o pai tende a envolver-se mais com seu filho, mas precisa de ajuda e encorajamento para assumir a paternidade de forma efetiva. Assim, a equipe de saúde exerce papel importante e deve buscar formas de aproximar o progenitor de seu filho o mais cedo possível. The family (institution) is an important research context, in spite of the transformations that it has suffered, and lately, the father has acquiring a larger visibility into the scientific literature involving the family. Researchers start to look for the father's role into the child's development, as well as the forms as son/daughter and father interact inside of the family context. The prematurity has equally receiving the researchers' attention, in the attempt of improving the interaction between the newly born (NB) with his/her family. However, most of those researches ignore the father's importance into the premature child's development, as well as the importance of the father-child's interaction inside the own paternity construction, meeting a gap into the process of turning a father. This master's degree dissertation intended to investigate the father's conceptions concerning the child's prematurity, and the care took to the newborn baby during the hospitalization in the Unit of Intensive Neonatal Treatment. It is a research of descriptive and exploratory stamp, based on the qualitative method. The researched population was constituted by twenty men that had their newborn babies interned at a hospital of great Florianópolis, which ten of them were first time fathers and ten weren't. The research was accomplished through semi-structured interviews, and the analysis came from the verbal content of the interviews. The categories were constituted from the speech and were fit into the pre-established Thematic Units. The study was guided from the systemic vision, with an interface between Health Psychology and Development Psychology. The research allowed the perception of the contexts influence that involve the father and the family in the way that the man lives his paternity and his child's prematurity. The participant understands the prematurity as being the fact that the baby is born before the gestation's end, and associate with that fragility subjects, sensibility, disease, low weight, bad formations, need of special cares and death risk. Even with those factors, the research evidences that the father has, in a general way, positive and hopeful feelings front to the premature newborn baby. This study also demonstrated that the man is living the paternity in a more active way. This participation begins during the gestation, it continues in the childbirth and during the post parturition. Besides, the research verifies that the father is more involved with his child, but he still needs help and encouragement to assume the paternity in a more effective way. Therefore, the health team has an important role and should look for ways to help the approximation between the father and his child as soon as possible
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
