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
Variations on the Author
No full text“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
Les comptes d'un hôpital portugais, 1379-1383
No full textThe Accounts of a Portuguese Hospital 1379-13830.
After examining the accounts kept by the scribe of a small Portuguese hospital from 1379 to 1383, this article explains how these and similar documents can better our understanding of Portugal's late medieval agrarian economy. In addition to revealing the corruptibility of the administrators who generously helped themselves to the institution's resources, and the yields of a small property worked by a single peasant, the accounts indicate that, despite being shortchanged, the hospital inmates received a ration of grain definitely superior to their minimum requirements. Taking into consideration this relative prosperity, the article questions the validity of recent interpretations of 14th century Portuguese living standards.Après l'étude des comptes tenus par le scribe d'un petit hôpital portugais de 1379 à 1383, l'article montre comment ce type de documents permet d'améliorer notre connaissance de l'économie agricole portugaise à la fin du Moyen Age. Outre qu'ils révèlent la corruption des administrateurs — qui se servaient généreusement sur les ressources de l'institution — et les revenus d'une petite propriété travaillée par un seul paysan, les comptes montrent que même si les pensionnaires de l'hôpital étaient bernés, ils recevaient une ration de grains nettement supérieure au minimum vital. Considérant cette prospérité relative, l'article pose la question du bien-fondé des interprétations récentes concernant le niveau de vie au Portugal durant le XIVe siècle.Johnson H. B.

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
IDDS Archeologie rapport 1379
No full textIn opdracht van AGEL adviseurs heeft IDDS Archeologie in april 2012 een archeologisch bureauonderzoek en een inventariserend veldonderzoek (IVO), verkennende fase, uitgevoerd aan de Nistelrodeseweg ongenummerd in Heesch, gemeente Bernheze.
Op basis van de resultaten van het bureauonderzoek wordt verwacht dat het mogelijk is om in de plangebieden resten aan te treffen vanaf de periode dat het landschap bewoonbaar was, namelijk in het Laat Paleolithicum. De trefkans voor resten uit het Paleolithicum en Mesolithicum is laag omdat Nederland in deze periode zeer dun bevolkt was en weinig materialen uit deze perioden geconserveerd blijven.
Tijdens het onderzoek is geconstateerd dat de plangebieden een onverstoorde bodem hebben, met een intact archeologisch niveau. Op basis van de resultaten van het inventariserend veldonderzoek wordt geadviseerd om vervolgonderzoek uit te laten voeren in de vorm van proefsleuven in beide plangebieden
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
