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
Beyond the here and now : herbivore ecology in a spatial-temporal context
No full textEcological phenomena at a certain location often not only depend on the current characteristics of that location itself, but also on characteristics of the landscape surrounding the site or influences from the past. In other words, in order to be able to understand ecological processes here and now, we often need information that is beyond here and now. This thesis investigates the role of such spatial-temporal context on the relationships between species and their environment. The focus is on large mammalian herbivores, an in particular the factors determining the movement and distribution of African elephants (Loxodonta africana) in Kruger National Park (KNP), South Africa. This thesis covers four main themes. First, it is shown that spatial-temporal variation in the biotic and abiotic environment creates predictable seasonal and daily cyclic patterns in the distribution of elephants in KNP. Then, herbivores are shown not only to respond to environmental heterogeneity: they also can create distinct spatial patterning in savanna vegetation when foraging initiates a positive plant-herbivore feedback and when the foraging process is spatially explicit. This leads to specific sites being revisited often, and therefore the patterns of site revisitation by elephants in KNP are studied, mainly in relation to surface water availability and vegetation characteristics. Lastly, this thesis focuses on the scale-dependent response of organisms to environmental heterogeneity, showing the consequences of a mismatch in the scale of analysis on statistical inference, and then focusing on finding the appropriate spatial scales to analyse and predict the spatial distribution of elephants in KNP. Together, the chapters presented in this thesis highlight the importance of explicitly considering the scale and context dependency of species-environment relationships, and demonstrate methods to take issues of spatial-temporal scale and context into account. These methods have the potential to increase our understanding of ecological phenomena and therefore may lead to better management of natural resources. <br/

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
