Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
Full text linkWe 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
Occurrence and spread of the banana fungus Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense TR4 in Mozambique
Full text linkCITATION: Viljoen, A. et al. 2020. Occurrence and spread of the banana fungus Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense TR4 in Mozambique. South African Journal of Science, 116(11/12):8608, doi:10.17159/sajs.2020/8608.The original publication is available at https://sajs.co.zaFusarium wilt, caused by the soil-borne fungus Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense (Foc), poses a major
threat to banana production globally. A variant of Foc that originated in Southeast Asia, called tropical race 4
(TR4), was detected on a Cavendish banana export plantation (Metocheria) in northern Mozambique in
2013. Foc TR4 was rapidly disseminated on the farm, and affected approximately half a million plants
within 3 years. The fungus was also detected on a second commercial property approximately 200 km
away (Lurio farm) a year later, and on a small-grower’s property near Metocheria farm in 2015. Surveys
in Mozambique showed that non-Cavendish banana varieties were only affected by Foc race 1 and race 2
strains. The testing of Cavendish banana somaclones in northern Mozambique revealed that GCTCV-119
was most resistant to Foc TR4, but that GCTCV-218 produced better bunches. The occurrence of Foc TR4
in northern Mozambique poses a potential threat to food security on the African continent, where banana
is considered a staple food and source of income to millions of people. Cavendish somaclones can be
used, in combination with integrated disease management practices, to replace susceptible Cavendish
cultivars in southern Africa. The comprehensive testing of African cooking bananas for resistance to Foc
TR4 is required, along with the improvement of biosecurity and preparedness of growers on the African
continent.https://sajs.co.za/article/view/8608Publisher's versio
