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
A‑R Music Anthology
No full textA-R Editions’ Online Music Anthology is an extensive collection of music and articles designed expressly for music history and theory courses. A-R\u27s Online Music Anthology contains many more pieces of music than print anthologies, all newly engraved and available online by subscription. (A-R offers complimentary access to instructors, pending approval of their requests.) Instructors can use the contents of the Online Music Anthology in a variety of courses, and customize the content in as many course packs as they need. With the multi-author online textbook and pre-set course packs, the A-R Online Music Anthology is a powerful tool for the twenty-first century
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
Speculative a/r/tography
No full textWe are a/r/tographers who work in pre- and in- service teacher education in Australian universities. We write this chapter for researchers interested in encountering and conducting speculative creative inquiry. Data analysis in speculative a/r/tography is an active doing coupled with quiet reflection in the space of ‘not yet’. It is ‘less about discovering something pre- existing and more about constructing knowledge through the process itself ‘ (Reason, 2018, p 49). Doing data this way advances our understanding of small data via closeto- practice, aesthetically oriented, process- driven, human- scale analyses. This approach to data resists data imperialism and is decolonial, post- human, and activist in its politics – making way for a multiplicity of ontologies, knowledge systems, and methodologies. Our creative methods are informed by an interplay of methodology and pedagogy that contiguously respond to relational understandings of being an artist/ researcher/ theorist and the many creative (in- )betweens that being a practitioner affords. In this sense, we dance between theory and practice, whereby theory becomes data as much as the artefacts created in and through the a/ r/ tistic practice. As collaborators, we explore complex problems with similarly curious colleagues and students, bringing together multiple perspectives, sites, and spaces to assemble meaning (MacDonald et al, 2022). This is an important place to begin this chapter on creative data work because it positions where and how we do speculative a/ r/ tography and what the opportunities might be as you begin to play within creative possibilities.
A/ r/ tography has its roots in education (see LeBlanc and Irwin, 2019). However, our particular iteration of a/ r/ tography transcends the disciplinary boundaries of education, living and breathing across speculative inquiry, creative methods, and creative data analysis. A/ r/ tography renders its practices in ways that enable thinking with and doing through iterative and looping actions: contiguity, living inquiry, openings, metaphor/ metonymy, reverberation and resonance, excess and absence, and gaze (Coleman, 2017). Our rendering of a/ r/ tography as speculative emphasises inquiry as being complex, imaginative, playful, and risky. Speculative a/ r/ tography enacts possibility thinking, ‘designerly’ ways of knowing and thinking, prototyping and failure in novel ways that other forms of a/ r/ tography might not
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
