    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Get PDF
    The 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

    Analysis of EHB 2242

    Washington State was sued by a coalition of advocacy groups for failing to fund the public-school system adequately. Washington State Legislature passed Engrossed House Bill (EHB) 2242 to appease the courts and provide Washington state public schools with ample funding. EHB 2242 increased state property levies and taxes. EHB 2242 also placed a cap on local levies to minimize the state\u27s reliance on property owners to fund the public-school system. Local levies were capped at the lesser of 2,500perstudentor2,500 per student or 1.50 for every $1,000 of assessed property value. Several districts were negatively affected by the cap placed on local levies and were no longer able to fund their basic needs. The state responded by passing ESSB 5313, increasing the state\u27s public-school budget to an all-time high, but it exacerbated existing problems within the public school system. Schools in high-income districts receive more in funding than schools in low-income districts because high-income districts have higher property values. The disparity in funding has left students in low-income districts at a disadvantage and schools without the funds to compensate their teachers adequately. The State can remove funding at the local level and adopt a system that distributes funding at the state level, equally disbursed in districts. Also, the state could create a statewide school voucher program that would give the funding directly to the families. This would give the power to choose the child\u27s institution for learning. Both alternatives provide suitable solutions to the problems with Washington\u27s funding policy

    Variations on the Author

    “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 PDF
    We 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
