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
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
L'expression des relations spatiales en italien langue maternelle et langue étrangère
No full textOur article is concerned with a group of 4, 7 and 10 years-old Italian children, and a group of French speakers learners of Italian. The task we proposed to them was the description of a picture.
The aim of the analysis is to show the differences and the common points between the way the adults and the children conceptualise this sort of task. We will show, amongst different things, that the expression of the deictic relations appear lately, or anyway less consistent, than any other topological relations do in 4 years-old children as in basic adult learners (1).
We will also show that the global anchoring (the one who refers to the picture or to the big entities), is consistently neglected by the youngest children and relatively taken into account by the basic learners (2).
We will explain the first point through cognitive reasons. The children have to develop the concept of space, and the first relations they develop are concerned with the topological space, which is the way entities can be situated in the space one in relation to the other independently from the point of view. But why this development should be equally valid for the adult learners of Italian? The reason could be that the deictic dimension demand a relation between the entities and the speaker at the same time, which involves a more complex perspective than the one needed by the topological dimension, which is probably easier to be expressed by an adult basic learner who has limited linguistic means. The differences between the way Italian and French express the topological and the deictic dimensions are not enough to be able to explain the observed development.
As to the last point, we will furnish explications of cognitive nature for the children and of communicative nature for the adults. If the children neglect the global anchoring in the spatial description, it depends probably on the "egocentric" perspective which normally characterise children until they are ten years-old. The situation is completely different for the adults, because their problems with some kind of relations depend on which is the thing they are focusing their attention on, or better, on what is communicatively more urgent to express when they are facing a cognitively complex task
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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
