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
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
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
A construção histórica do sujeito nas obras de Paulo Freire: uma reflexão sobre consciência histórica
No full textThis work is the result of research developed at the Federal Institute of Goiás (Senador Canedo Campus) with the objective of reflecting on Paulo Freire's thinking, especially regarding the contribution that this intellectual offers to the exercise of Theory and Teaching of History. In this sense, to understand how historians can use it as a valuable contribution to the reflections around historical science and its teaching, taking as a premise the possibility of building with a pedagogical relationship that aims at transforming individuals into autonomous and intellectually free subjects in relationship with the world. This view on the teaching-learning relationship inscribed in the reflections of Paulo Freire has as its starting point the very life of the subjects involved in this process, or in other words, the life history of those who present themselves within this process, aiming through education its own constitution of humanization. In an objective way, the central proposal of this work is, therefore, to investigate how this potentiality about how Paulo Freire's thought contributes to the process of development of the historical consciousness of those involved in the pedagogical field through historicity.Esse trabalho é resultado de uma pesquisa desenvolvida no Instituto Federal de Goiás (Campus Senador Canedo) tendo como objetivo fazer uma reflexão sobre o pensamento de Paulo Freire, sobretudo quanto a contribuição que esse intelectual oferta ao exercício da Teoria e Ensino de História. E nesse sentido, compreender como os historiadores podem utilizá-lo como um valioso aporte para as reflexões em torno da ciência histórica e seu ensino, tomando como premissa a possibilidade se construir com uma relação pedagógica que visa transformação dos indivíduos em sujeitos autônomos e livres intelectualmente em relação com o mundo. Essa visão sobre a relação de ensino-aprendizado inscrita nas reflexões de Paulo Freire tem como ponto de partida a própria vida dos sujeitos envolvidos nesse processo, ou, em outras palavras, a história de vida daqueles que se apresentam dentro desse processo objetivando por meio da educação sua própria constituição de humanização. De modo objetivo, a proposta central desse trabalho é, portanto, o de investigar como essa potencialidade acerca de como o pensamento de Paulo Freire contribui para o próprio processo de desenvolvimento da consciência histórica dos envolvidos no campo pedagógico pela via da historicidade
Historicidade, trauma e restituição da relação com a experiência: Contribuições da Psicanálise para o estudo da História
No full textThis article is the result of a research developed at the Federal Institute of Goiás (Senador Canedo Campus). From it on, we intend to develop a discussion about how Psychoanalysis can contribute to reflect the History of Brazil, based on historicity. We defend that science founded by Freud builts by an awareness bias of our temporality, that is, from the subject's relationship (trauma - malaise - suffering - symptom) with past, present and future. We believe that from this theoretical meeting we can expand the discussion and reflection on the History of Brazil from the present time.Este artigo é fruto de uma pesquisa desenvolvida no Instituto Federal de Goiás (Campus Senador Canedo) a partir do qual pretendemos desenvolver uma discussão sobre como a Psicanálise pode contribuir para refletir a História do Brasil, tendo como base a historicidade. Defendemos que a ciência fundada por Freud se constrói por um viés de conscientização de nossa temporalidade, ou seja, a partir da relação do sujeito (trauma – mal estar – sofrimento – sintoma) com passado, presente e futuro, pois acreditamos que a partir desse encontro teórico podemos ampliar a discussão e a reflexão sobre a História do Brasil a partir do tempo Present
