Replication Data for: "Disaffected Partisans: Most Americans Think a Third Party is Needed, But Those Americans Are Even More Polarized"
No full textDeepening partisan polarization has caused extreme discontent with the existing two-party system. But despite bipartisan concerns about third party vote splitting, there
has been little attempt to measure the policy preferences of current Republicans and
Democrats who want a third party alternative to the two dominant parties. From April
19 to May 1, 2022, we surveyed 1,862 American adults to determine if these “disaffected partisans” are more or less polarized. First, we confirm previous findings
that most Americans — Republicans and Democrats alike — now say a third party
is needed. For 14 different issues, we then compare the policy preferences of partisans who think a third party is needed and those who do not. Contrary to the popular narrative that disaffected partisans might converge around a centrist or moderate third party, we find that disaffected partisans are just as polarized or more on most issues
Replication Data for: "Partisan preferences for local electricity supply in the United States: Attitudes towards Community Choice Aggregation and how to shift them"
No full textCommunity Choice Aggregations (CCAs) are a rapidly expanding electricity supply model in the United States. By enabling local governments to obtain electricity for their residents, CCAs have the potential to increase the use of renewable energy while lowering costs. However, little research has been done on public attitudes towards CCAs and how to shift those attitudes to support their continued expansion. We address this gap in the empirical literature by conducting a nationwide survey of 1,862 respondents. We use a survey experiment to analyze partisan attitudes towards CCAs along two dimensions: support and price sensitivity. We find that most respondents are currently unfamiliar with CCAs, but giving them educational information about CCAs and energy mixes increases their support for CCAs at the state, local, and personal levels. Our results suggest that outreach and awareness campaigns may be effective strategies for CCA advocates. We do not find heterogeneous treatment effects across Democrats and Republicans, suggesting that educating the public about specific renewable energy policies may counter partisan polarization on the environment. Finally, we do not find treatment effects on price sensitivity; future research should continue to explore the relationship between support and price sensitivity for renewable energy policies. Our results have important implications for policymakers and advocates of CCAs, as well as for scholars studying energy policy or partisan polarization more broadly
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
