Funding organization uses the regional CRIS as source for reporting research: the case of FWO and FRIS
No full textFWO launched a pilot where data from FRIS, the regional CRIS of Flanders, were used to capture information on the outputs of the FWO funded research projects. The pilot of this quite unique approach was implemented in a few steps: defining the scope of the pilot (peer-reviewed scientific publications only), establishing definitions of the concepts in collaboration with the research stakeholders, building golden records of projects and publications in FRIS, and developing API's to harvest the data.
This method as well as the outcome of the pilot proved to be successful. The information on publications linked to FWO-projects was harvested from FRIS and used to prefill the FWO reporting template. The benefits and lessons learned of this pilot are described. Establishing definitions for the research output categories was time-consuming but necessary for obtaining more uniform and more qualitative data.
The administrative burden for researchers was reduced in the sense that the information was prefilled in the reporting template. On the other hand, researchers and research institutions had to invest time and effort into the change of the reporting process. Once this process will become mainstream, the real reduction in administrative burden will become obvious. Also research institutions will benefit from the FRIS golden record service, as they will be able to harvest-information that was already provided by other research institutions.
As the overall outcome of the pilot was positive, FWO has already started the next phase in which the same method is used and the scope is extended to non-peer-reviewed publications, papers in proceedings of scientific conferences, dissertations, books, book chapters, patents, datasets and other outputs. For FRIS this pilot and the next phase contribute to its ambition to become the unique and complete hub for all research information in Flanders
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
Open Science in Flanders
No full text17 slides.-- Presentation delivered within the "National session (I)"The presentation provides an overview of the evolution of Open Science in Flanders, addressing its underpinning policies, coordination mechanisms across institutions involved in its implementation, associated infrastructure (such as the FRIS regional CRIS) and monitoring framework, which includes a set of key performance indicators. The adoption of Open Science, strongly supported by the Flemish government, takes place in the context of wider European initiatives such as the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC)
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
FRIS: Exploring and introducing the CERIF-object Research Infrastructures and its golden record-view
No full text27 slides.-- Presentation delivered within the "National session (II)" .-- Includes extended abstract submitted to the eventThis contribution gives an overview of the newly added entity “Research Infrastructures” in FRIS, the regional CRIS of Flanders. With this contribution we want to share the process and model we used to capture the metadata. Furthermore we will focus on the visualization of the golden record for research infrastructures: agreements with stakeholders and final view
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
