    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    Bilgi ve iletişim teknolojilerinde yaşanan hızlı değişim, interneti ve yeni medyayı yaşamımızın önemli bir parçası haline getirmiş ve bu değişime paralel olarak akademik çalışmaların da temel konularından birini oluşturmaya başlamıştır. Elinizdeki kitap da çeşitli alanlarda yeni medyanın, geleneksel medyadan farklı olarak yarattığı yeni pratikleri ve yeni olanakları tartışmayı amaçlamıştır. İnternet teknolojilerin getirdiği yenilik ve dönüşümler hayatın her alanında karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Kitapta yeni medyanın demokratik katılım, siyaset, habercilik ve pazarlama açısından getirmiş olduğu değişime ve yeniliklere odaklanılmıştır.Son yıllarda gerek internet, gerekse de sosyal ağ kullanıcılarının sayısında büyük bir artış yaşandığı açıktır. Sosyal ağların gelişimi, bilgi ve iletişim teknolojilerinin getirdiği kazanımlara yeni boyutlar eklemiş, kullanıcıların içerik üretimlerini ve üretilen içeriği paylaşımlarını da arttırmıştır. Bütün bu gelişmelere rağmen dünya üzerinde internet erişimine ve kullanım becerisine sahip olmayan önemli bir kesimin de bulunduğu gözden kaçmamalıdır. Bu kitapta, internet kullanımının yaygınlaştırılması ve aktif kullanımını merkeze alan dijital yurttaşlık kavramı, yaşlılar ve gençler gibi farklı kesimlerin internet kullanımları, yeni medyanın toplumsal hareketlere getirdiği farklı boyutlar, yeni medya gazeteciliğinde etik sorunlar ve pazarlama ve halkla ilişkiler alanına olan etkileri tartışılmıştır.Yeni medya, kullanıcılarına araladığı kapının genişliğine paralel biçimde oldukça geniş bir çalışma alanıdır. Kitapta yer alan yazılar yeni medyanın sağladığı farklı olanakları ortaya koymaya çalışmak ama bundan daha çok birer pencere açmak, yeni çalışmalar için bir başlangıç oluşturmak amacındadır.</p

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    No full text
    We 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

    The Headscarf Controversy in Turkey

    No full text
    This article is based on a monographic field study, which was conducted in October 2007. In addition, the results of other studies on the headscarf issue conducted at different times between 2003 and 2007 have also been used to follow the development over the course of time. The study found that the headscarf prohibition has no strong social basis. As it would be a mistake to see the headscarf prohibition as an element of the secularism project, defining an ideology on the basis of the headscarf, an important religious symbol in Turkey, presents a risk to the progress of democracy, and only serves to increase political polarization. Formulating public policies on the basis of the headscarf prohibition will only help destroy social peace. Social engineering projects which aim to change or destroy political, religious and ethnic positions of citizens are not permitted in Western-type contemporary democracies. There is no headscarf problem in Turkey in a sociological sense, the real problem lies in the totalitarian/authoritarian approach which stems from groundless fears and/or ideological choices of the social elite or economic power centers.Headscarf, hijab, Islamic fundamentalism

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    No full text
    We 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
