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
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
The Library Service Orientation and Coping Strategies in the Context of Occupational Education
Full text linkToday, the occupational education is needed not only by the graduates but also by the development of our society. The occupational education provides a new space for the university library in Re-positioning and development. So the libraries should conform to the situation and do entrepreneurship education and the role service orientation conversion. The university libraries have some unique advantages of enterprise education, so they have the mission and responsibilities of training creative and enterprise talents. The author points that the university library should take measures to serve the enterprise education, such as: exploring resources, establishing a platform for enterprise education, setting up relevant courses etc. Key words: Occupational education; University library; Service strategyRésumé Aujourd'hui, l'enseignement professionnel est nécessaire non seulement par les diplômés, mais aussi par le développement de notre société. L'enseignement professionnel offre un nouvel espace pour la bibliothèque universitaire de Re-positionnement et de développement. Ainsi les bibliothèques doivent être conformes à la situation et faire enseignement de l'entrepreneuriat et la conversion d'orientation rôle de service. Les bibliothèques universitaires ont certains avantages uniques de formation à l'entreprise, de sorte qu'ils ont la mission et les responsabilités de la formation des talents créatifs et d'entreprise. L'auteur que la bibliothèque de l'université devraient prendre des mesures pour servir à l'éducation de l'entreprise, tels que: l'exploration des ressources, établir une plateforme de formation à l'entreprise, la mise en place des cours pertinent... etc.Mots clés: Education Professionnelle; Bibliothèque Universitaire; Stratégie de servic
Dialyzing the Academic Misconduct from the Academic Exchange System
Full text linkAt presently, the Academic dishonorable behavior had become a bad phenomenon in the academic circles. This paper points out that it was the result of the whole of the academic exchange system, and the author is only one of respect. The paper analyzes the causes of and countermeasures from authors, publishers, library and information institutions, users, etc.. And pointes out that the phenomenon of academic belongs to social problem that requires a wide range of common boycott.Key words: Academic dishonorable behavior; Academic exchange system; Analysis of reasonsRésumé À l’heure actuelle, le comportement déshonorant de l’académique est devenue un phénomène mal dans les milieux universitaires. Ce document souligne que c'était le résultat de l’ensemble du système d’échange universitaire, et l’auteur est un seul de respect. Le document analyse les causes et les contre-mesures par des auteurs, des éditeurs, des institutions de bibliothèques et d’information, les utilisateurs, etc et souligne que le phénomène de la académique appartient à un problème social qui nécessite un large éventail de boycott commune.Mots clés: Comportement déshonorant de l’enseignement; Académique du Système d’échange; Analyse des raison
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
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
