Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe 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

No full textDentro del estudio en las ciencias políticas, los países integrantes de la
región América Latina, enfocaron el campo de estudio - a partir de la década del
80 -, en dos fenómenos visiblemente analizados y discutidos:
a.- La Transición Democrática en los países del Cono Sur, -especialmente-, y
que tomaban caso por caso la situación interna de cada país, y los Procesos de
Integración Regional, que abarcaron la crearon de espacios institucionales
enmarcados en la confección de Tratados, Acuerdos, o Asociaciones, que basaron
en el multilateralismo y el despegue de las nacionales latinoamericanas de la
influencia de Estados Unidos, y el ponderado éxito obtenido en Europa,
considerando la constitución del Mercado Común Europeo, transformado hoy en
la Unión Europea, como una región que se fue incrementando hasta alcanzar hoy
a 28 países miembros.
b.- La expansión de la democracia como forma de gobierno, que alentaba la
inclusión de la población en políticas de avanzada, y el mantenimiento de un
crecimiento sostenido que en épocas de dictadura, parecía caracterizarse por la
liberación en lo económico y la restricción en lo político, marcadas por las
condiciones de inestabilidad política y de atraso en las condiciones endógenas,
que posibilitaban hasta la caída del Muro y la aceptación por parte del área de
influencia soviética, de la transición de regímenes “cerrados” a sistemas
“abiertos”, como bien explica Martín D'Alessandro:
“Una de las señales de cambio en los estudios de las Relaciones
Internacionales está dada por el estudio de la inserción argentina en el mundo a
partir de las características imperantes en el orden mundial, interpretadas a la luz
de nuevas y más complejas estructuras teóricas. Tanto las posiciones que
sustentaban una política exterior independiente o tercermundista, como aquellas
que propiciaban evadir toda confrontación con los poderosos del sistema
internacional para, a cambio, obtener ventajas en cuestiones prioritarias como la economía o la negociación de la deuda externa, se basaban en análisis teóricos
sofisticados e investigaciones empíricas fundamentadas. Al mismo tiempo, la
visión integracionista fue ganando terreno por la crisis sufrida por la visión
confrontacionista a partir de la guerra de Malvinas y el énfasis en la cooperación
regional que se generó a partir de los procesos de transición y consolidación
democrática”.
Un aporte interesante se conforma con la visión integracionista, ya que no
solo el poder, la soberanía o la seguridad, son conceptos centrales para el análisis
internacional, sino que, tal como propone el enfoque constructivista, resulta
relevante en los asuntos mundiales, y para el caso argentino una identidad
compartida permite fortalecer visiones y prácticas compartidas en los países del
MERCOSUR. Se podría mensurar esta realidad como un pasaje de rivalidad a una
de amistad, incrementando así la capacidad de negociación externa.
Como explica Braillard Poccard, respecto de la relación entre Relaciones
Internacionales y los estudios de Procesos de Integración Regionales:
“Dentro de la disciplina, cobraron relevancia tendencias como la
Interdependencia y la Globalización. Como otra cara de la misma moneda el
sistema internacional se basa en relaciones complejas donde ya no se puede
soslayar que la “política doméstica” o “baja política” se ve influenciada en el
proceso de tomas de decisiones por la “alta política” o “política internacional”.
Es notoria la proliferación contemporánea de escuelas o teorías de textos o
artículos académicos y el reconocimiento de los estudios en Relaciones
Internacionales en carreras universitarias de grado y posgrado amen de cursos,
seminarios, o talleres (workshop) que otorgan crédito académico a los asistentes
que aprueban las evaluaciones.
A la par de las Relaciones Políticas Internacionales propiamente dichas
estas, se consideran inclusivas de los estudios básicos en Diplomacia, Política
Exterior, Relaciones Económicas Internacionales, el Derecho Internacional, y el
marco institucional de los Procesos de Integración Regional. Desde fin de siglo
XX a esta parte los estudios precitados se han ampliado con el reconocimiento de
otros actores del sistema internacional en los que se encuentran las empresas
transnacionales, los organismos internacionales y, las comunidades
supranacionales, en principio”
Pragmatic Case Studies as a Source of Unity in Applied Psychology
No full textTo unify or not to unify applied psychology: that is the question. In this article we review pendulum swings in the historical efforts to answer this question—from a comprehensive, positivist, “top-down,” deductive yes between the 1930s and the early 60s, to a postmodern no since then. A rationale and proposal for a limited, “bottom-up,” inductive yes in applied psychology is then presented, employing a case-based paradigm that integrates both positivist and postmodern themes and components. This paradigm is labeled “pragmatic psychology” and, its specific use of case studies, the “Pragmatic Case Study Method” (“PCS Method”). We call for the creation of peer-reviewed journal-databases of pragmatic case studies as a foundational source of unifying applied knowledge in our discipline. As one example, the potential of the PCS Method for unifying different angles of theoretical regard is illustrated in an area of applied psychology, psychotherapy, via the case of Mrs. B. The article then turns to the broader historical and epistemological arguments for the unifying nature of the PCS Method in both applied and basic psychology.Peer reviewe

Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe 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
Measurement of the ratio of branching fractions B(B0→K∗0γ )/B(B0s→φγ ) and the directCP asymmetry inB 0→K∗0γ
No full textThe ratio of branching fractions of the radiative B decays B0→K⁎0γ and B0s→ϕγ has been measured using an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb−1 of pp collision data collected by the LHCb experiment at a centre-of-mass energy of s√=7TeV. The value obtained is
B(B0→K⁎0γ)B(B0s→ϕγ)=1.23±0.06(stat.)±0.04(syst.)±0.10(fs/fd),
where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second is the experimental systematic uncertainty and the third is associated with the ratio of fragmentation fractions fs/fd. Using the world average value for B(B0→K⁎0γ), the branching fraction B(B0s→ϕγ) is measured to be (3.5±0.4)×10−5.
The direct CP asymmetry in B0→K⁎0γ decays has also been measured with the same data and found to be
ACP(B0→K⁎0γ)=(0.8±1.7(stat.)±0.9(syst.))%.
Both measurements are the most precise to date and are in agreement with the previous experimental results and theoretical expectations
The construction of Karen Karnak: The multi-author-function
No full textThis thesis is situated within the comparatively recent developments of Web 2.0 and the emergence of interactive WikiMedia, and explores the mode of authorship within a Read/Write culture compared to that of a Read/Only tradition. The hypothesis of this study is that the role of the audience has become merged with the author, and as such, represents new functions and attributes, distinct from a more conventional concept of authorship, in which the roles of audience and author are more separate. Read/Write and participatory culture, as defined by this study, is focused on collaboration, and includes the influences of D.I.Y. culture, Open-Source practices and the production of text by multiple authors. Multi-authorship presents a re-thinking of several concepts which support the notion of the individual author, since the focus of multi-authorship is not on attribution and ownership of a finished text, but on the continued malleability of a text. Modes of multi-authorship, demonstrated in the use of the pseudonyms Alan Smithee and Karen Eliot, represent declarative authors whose names signify multiple origins, whilst concurrently indicating a distinct body of work. The function of these names form an important context to this study, since primary research involves the construction of an experimental mode of multi-authorship utilising WikiMedia technology and the interaction of thirty nine participants, who are invited to create a body of work under the collective pseudonym Karen Karnak. The data generated by this experiment is analysed using aspects of Michel Foucault's author-function to identify and determine power structures inherent in the WikiMedia context. The interplay of power structures, including concepts such as identity, ownership and the body of work, affect the resulting mode of authorship and contribute to the construction of Karen Karnak, suggesting further areas of research into the emerging multi-author
