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
Organized extracurricular activities for preschool children
No full textPredškolska dob je osjetljivo razdoblje u kojemu, uz odgovarajuću podršku, djeca mogu razviti različite vještine i otkriti svoje talente. Shvaćanje važnosti rane stimulacije za djetetov optimalan razvoj, uvjetovalo je pojavom različitih organiziranih izvanvrtićkih aktivnosti, čija raznolikost za- dovoljava interese velikog broja djece. Organizirane aktivnosti, od kojih su najzastupljeniji sport- ski, umjetnički, jezični i znanstveni programi, utječu na različite aspekte djetetovog razvoja, u- ključujući kognitivni, tjelesni, socijalno-emocionalni i jezični razvoj. Kroz sportske aktivnosti djeca jačaju svoje motoričke vještine i razvijaju osjećaj za timski rad, pomoću umjetničkih aktiv- nosti izražavaju kreativnost i razvijaju emocionalnu inteligenciju, a kroz jezične i prirodoslovne aktivnosti razvijaju intelektualne sposobnosti i aktiviraju radoznalost. Sudjelovanjem u organizi- ranim aktivnostima, dijete može upoznati sebe izvan obiteljskog i institucionalnog konteksta, steći nova poznanstva i znanja, što pozitivno utječe na djetetovu sliku o sebi kao kompetentnom mladom biću. Ove aktivnosti omogućuju djeci da kroz strukturirane, ali fleksibilne programe usmjere svoju energiju u kreativno izražavanje, tjelesno vježbanje i učenje kroz igru. Kako bi uopće došlo do djetetove potpune participacije u organiziranim aktivnostima, potrebna mu je podrška njegove naj- bliže okoline, koju čine roditelji i odgojitelji. Roditelji, kao primarni nositelji organizacije slobo- dnog vremena, pružaju podršku djeci u izboru aktivnosti koje su usklađene s njegovim interesima i sposobnostima. S druge strane, odgojitelji, kroz promatranje djetetovih potreba i sklonosti, osi- guravaju poticajno i sigurno okruženje u kojemu dijete može slobodno istraživati i učiti, a istovre- meno surađuju s roditeljima na otkrivanju i razvoju djetetovih interesa. Također, društvo ima klju- čnu ulogu u integraciji djece u život lokalne zajednice, kako bi se kod djece razvio osjećaj pripa- dnosti i solidarnosti. U ovom radu, istražuje se važnost organiziranih aktivnosti u predškolskoj dobi kao temelja za daljnji razvoj djece, te naglašava potreba za suradnjom roditelja, odgojitelja i lokalne zajednice u pružanju potpore djetetovom razvoju.The preschool years are a sensitive period during which, with appropriate support, children can develop various skills and discover their talents. Understanding the importance of early stimulation for optimal child development has led to the emergence of various organized extracurricular acti- vities, whose diveryity meets the interests of a large number of children. Organized activities, a- mong which sports, artistic, language, and scientific programs are the most prevalent, affect va- rious aspects of a child 's development, including cognitive, physical, socio-emotional, and lingu- istic development. Through sports activities, children enhance their motor skills and develop a sense of teamwork; artistic activities allow them to express creativity and develop emotional in- telligence and language and scientific activities foster intellectual abilities and stimulate curiosity. Participation in organized activities allows children to explore themselves outside of the family and institutional contexts, gain new acquaintances and knowlege, which positively impacts their self-image as competent young individuals. These activities enable children to chanel their energy into creative expression, physical exercise, and learning through play through structured yet flexible programs. For children to fully engage in organized activities, they need support from they immediate surroundings, consisting of parents and preschool teachers. Parents, as primary organi- zers of leisure time, support children in choosing activities that align with their interests and abili- ties. On the other hand, preschool teachers, through observing the child's needs and preferences, provide stimulating and safe enviroment in which the child can freely explore and learn, while also collaborating with parents to discover and develop the child's interests. Additionally, society plays a crucial role in integrating children into the life of the local community to develop a sense of belonging and solidarity. This paper explores the importance of organized activities in the preschool years as a foundation for further child development and emphasize the need for colla- boration between parents, preschool teachers, and the local community in supporting child's deve- lopment

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
