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
A Study on the Female Home Attendants' Work-related Experiences of Sexual Harassment
No full text居家服務員由於必須進入服務對象的私生活領域中工作，工作時間有時較長，且服務內容有些涉及肢體接觸，因此不少服務員都曾有過被性騷擾的經驗，本?究乃針對北部地區四家居家服務單位的服務員及督導(或社工員)，經立意抽樣後，進行訪談，共計進行一次一對一訪談，一次一對二訪談，及三次焦點團體訪談。訪談內容應用「象徵互動論J為基礎，進行質性分析後有下列幾點主要發現： 1、性騷擾是充滿雙方當事人主觀詮釋及處理的互動過程，並受到情境中各種象徵及訊息的影響。 2、性騷擾也可能發生於同性之間，但比異性間的性騷擾更不易獲得他人的瞭解與支持。 3、居家服務員工作中的騷擾者絕大多數為案主本身，但也可能是案主家屬，或有接觸機會的鄰居。 4、居家服務員可能遭遇的性騷擾內容是多樣化的，本?究中分析出語言的、非語言的、肢體動作的、挑逗或誘惑的行為、性的資料、私領域的侵犯、性賄賂、性別的騷擾等八個層次。 5、居家服務員對性騷擾的反應無論在感受及行為上都包含相當多的層次，顯示他們對性騷擾的處理是相當複雜、細緻的過程。 6、騷擾者並不是全然的「壞傢伙」。他們的行為也受到文化、早年習慣、目前的身心困境所影響。本?究並提出「互動失衡模型」來解釋性騷擾的動態過程。This study intends to explore the home makers' experiences of work-related sexual harassment. The author used purposeful sampling to find study subjects from four home care service agencies in a northern city of Taiwan. One 1 to 1 interview, one 1 to 2 interview, and three focus group interviews were conducted and taped. Interview data was analyzed qualitatively, using a symbolic interactionist approach. Results showed: 1. Sexual harassment is a dynamic process full of subjective interpretation and usage of symbols. 2. Sexual harassment may occur between two persons of the same sex, but it is even harder to get support from others. 3. The harassers in this case may be the clients, family of the clients, or their neighbors. 4. Content of sexual harassment was multidimensional, including verbal, non-verbal, physical, seductive behaviors, sexual materials, intrusion of privacy, sexual bribery, and gender harassment. 5. Home makers' reactions to sexual harassment were also multi-dimensional, indicating their complex process of coping with the experiences. 6. The harassers were not totally "bad guys", for their inappropriate behaviors were influenced by the local culture, their own earlier behavioral patterns, and their current physical and emotional difficulties. A "loss of interaction balance" model was proposed to explain the process of sexual harassment
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
A Study on Services for the Living Alone Elders in Taipei City-An Action Research Approach
No full text本研究以行動研究的方式來探討台北市獨居老人照顧服務。首先進行現況之瞭解，其次提出獨居老人照顧工作原則並定點實地試驗推行，此四點原則包含：地區自主、多元發展、由下向上的規劃、及公部門與私部門的伙伴關係。第一階段採用檔案研究法、焦點團體訪談，及一對一或一對二個別訪談等方法，第二階段則分三個行動點：公辦公營的大安老人中心、公辦民營的士林老人中心及補助辦理的中正老人中心。本研究結果顯示，獨居名冊具有不錯的參考價值，獨居長者的需求比預期少很多，社會局與認養單位也已建立了初步的「伙伴關係」，主管單位宜多支持在地化的福利發展趨勢，獨居長者服務的焦點應轉移到社區，且一定要與民政、警政、衛政單位結合。本研究並提出台北市獨居長者照顧服務模式及其他具體建議。This study looked into the services for the living alone elders in Taipei City using an Action Research approach. First, data regarding the current condition of service delivery was collected through secondary data analysis, focus groups, and interviews. Four working principles were formulated, including local autonomy, diversity, down-to-up planning, and partnerships between the public and private sectors. Based on these principles, researchers and practitioners worked together at three action points with many projects. The results showed that: 1. The name list of elders living alone is fairly valuable; 2. Elders living alone do not have as many needs as the public imagined; 3. There has been a partnership built between the public and the private sectors; 4. The government should support local autonomy in program development; 5. The focus of elderly service should really be community network development; and 6. There should be more cooperation among various governmental departments. A service model for the living alone elders was also suggested
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
