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
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

No full text„...man erwartet von Euch keine Heiligen...“ Struktur und Transformation geistlicher Frauengemeinschaften im 19. und 20. Jahrhundert Die Arbeit hat die Entwicklung von drei geistlichen Frauengemeinschaften der Steiermark, der Grazer Karmelitinnen, der Benediktinerinnen von St. Gabriel (1919 bis 2008 auf Burg Bertholdstein bei Fehring) und der 1865 als Hausgemeinschaft gegründeten und 1928 als kirchliche Kongregation bischöflichen Rechts eingerichteten Vorauer Marienschwestern, die diese seit der zweiten Hälfte des 19. bis zum Ende des 20. Jahrhunderts genommen haben, zum Inhalt. Dabei wird nicht nur die Geschichte der einzelnen Kommunitäten aus historischer und kirchenhistorischer Perspektive erfasst, sondern auch der Struktur der einzelnen Konvente und dem Wandel, den diese Gemeinschaften, insbesondere im letzten Drittel des 20. Jahrhunderts, durchlaufen sind, ein besonderes Augenmerk gewidmet und auf Fragestellungen, die der wissenschaftliche Diskurs der beiden letzten Jahrzehnten aufgeworfen hatte, wie die sogenannte Säkularisierungsthese, den „Aktionsraum“ Religion und dessen Strukturierung und Konnotierung sowie den postkonziliaren Transformationsprozess in geistlichen Frauenge-meinschaften, eingegangen. Weitere Schwerpunkte bilden Untersuchungen zu den Mitgliedern der drei Kommunitäten nach prosopographischen Kriterien und die Darstellung des normativen Regelwerks, das den monastischen Alltag der einzelnen Gemeinschaften fixierte und dem die idealtypische Lebens- und Alltagsordnung der einzelnen Gemeinschaft entnommen werden kann, in dem sich „geweihtes Leben“ vollzog. Anhand ausgewählter Aspekte des – im weitesten Sinn – monastischen Alltags werden normative Ansprüche und deren Umsetzung, Übereinstimmung und Diskrepanz, grundgelegte Charismen, postuliertes wie kultiviertes Selbst-verständnis, Wandel und Brüche, Positionierungen und Neupositionierungen unter-sucht und dargestellt.„…we do not expect any saints from you...“. Structure and transformation of religious female societies in the 19th and 20th century The subject of this thesis is the development of three religious female societies in Styria from the second half of the 19th century to the end of the 20th century, namely the Carmelite Nuns in Graz, the Benedictine Nuns of St. Gabriel (1919 to 2008 in Bertholdstein Castle near Fehring) and the Sisters of Mary of Vorau, founded 1865 as a house community and established as ecclesiastical congregation of episcopalian law in 1928. The thesis will not only deal with the history of the three communities from an historical and church historical perspective, but also with the structure of the individual convents and the transformations the societies underwent, especially in the last third of the 20th century. In doing so, issues which have been raised in the scientific discourse of the last two decades, like the socalled thesis of secularization, the ‚action space’ religion and its structuring and connotation, as well as the postconciliar transformation processes in religious female societies, will be addressed. Further focal points are prosopographical studies of the members of the three communities and the description of the normative body of rules, which determines the daily routines of the societies. These norms of the universal church as well as of the particluar law, formed the framework of the „consecrated life“ and codified the ideal way of life in the individual societies. Based on chosen aspects of the monastic everyday life, the implementation, compliances and discrepancies, underlying charisms, postulated as well as cultivated self-conceptions, transformations and discontinuities, positionings and re-positionings of the normative requirements are analysed and delineatedvon Peter WiesfleckerAbweichender Titel laut Übersetzung der Verfasserin/des VerfassersDissertation Karl-Franzens-Universität Graz 201
