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
Il nuovo design cinese: creatività vs innovazione Young chinese Design: Creativity vs. Innovation
No full textCon la loro offerta creativa, il nuovo design cinese sembra voler rifuggire da ogni responsabilità per la costruzione del futuro. Si concentra sul presente, con un chiaro desiderio di esprimersi senza pretendere di indicare nuove direzioni: una “classe media” che crea senza necessariamente innovare.
In its creative offerings, young Chinese design seems to avoid all responsibility for the construction of the future. It concentrates on the present, with a clear desire to express itself but with no pretension to point out fresh directions: a ‘middle class’ that creates without necessarily expecting to innovate
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
THE ENFORCEMENT OF JUDGEMENTS IN INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS COURT
No full textIt is a well-known fact that international law has not been at its strongest when it comes to its implementation and enforcement, since there is not coercive power in the international system comparable to that which enforces domestic law. However, the judgments of international courts and tribunals must attain full respect by the Member States, thereby sending a credible message that there are consequences for non-compliance. This thesis focuses on how to persuade and pressure a delinquent State into compliance with the judgments in the European, Inter-American and African Courts of Human Rights and identifies the elements constituting an effective mechanism for the enforcement of judgments based on a comprehensive and comparative study of the related legal provisions and practice. It demonstrates that these three human rights courts adopt the same method: supervision without prospect of sanctions, mainly because different dynamics operate in the area of international human rights law. A comparison between the international human rights courts and some other international judicial organs, including the International Court of Justice, the International Tribunal for the Law of Sea, the WTO dispute settlement mechanism and the European Court of Justice with regard to the enforcement of judgments shows that the latter ones rely on coercive measures to ensure compliance and the achievements of the human rights court is inspiring for them on how to enhance their effectiveness. The last part of this study addresses the prospect of establishing an international human rights system in the Asian region based the analysis of the current obstacle from its creation, which now seems more likely on the sub-regional level and provides proposals on the future mechanism for the enforcement of judgments
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
