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
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
New symbolic values of some of the antique and modern Bosnia and Herzegovina's bridges
No full textAmong the characteristics of a symbol there is the semantic variability, and with this we mean that by leaving a margin of an unexpressed meaning, it can easily be object of discordant interpretations. In today’s Bosnia and Herzegovina, a country where the symbolic objects that mark the spaces are of great importance, the bridges that actually physically bond the two sides, a metaphor of passage and of testing, become loaded with identity values in the minds of those who deal with them each day; however, not always those values that the bridges represent become accepted by the entire community: in Bosnia sometimes the bridges separate instead of bringing together, and not only in the physical sense. In fact the “Stari most” in Mostar, a symbol of a city in which the national communities – unlike Sarajevo – use to live mostly separate, during the war it has been demolished by one of them since it was perceived as a cultural property of the rival nation. After its reconstruction, the new “stari most” frequented by the international tourism has become loaded with new symbolic values of western origin, something that has nothing to do with the cultural tradition in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Among all the bridges in Sarajevo on the Miljacka, places fulfilled with history, there are two of them on the top of which got started the great tragedies of global dimensions in 1914 and 1992, and they respectively opened and closed one of the most tormented centuries of the modern age. In the city, each of these two bridges awakes contrasting emotions in the population. In Sarajevo there is also the Kozja Ćuprija, an antique ottoman construction, which in the past facilitated the access to the city from the oriental Bosnia, today it separates the Serb Republic from the Bosnia and Herzegovina Federation, grotesque border in a region that no logical motivation could ever have divided. The symbol of Višegrad is the Mehmed Pasha Sokolović Bridge, an ottoman construction of the XVI century that Ivo Andrić’s book made famous in the world. However, this cultural heritage too - which is both material and immaterial – is absurdly divided today. Even if the bridge has “Muslim” origins, the memory of the writer that has made it immortal is being hated by the “bošnjak” cultural elite; the proof of this is the fact that the Andrić’s statue on the bridge has been crushed in peaces before the city became Serbian in the 1992. The cultural pride of Konjic is a “stari most” that doesn’t exist anymore in its original form, because it has been destroyed by the Germans in their withdrawing in the 1945. However, it is the emblem of the city; it is even in the city’s heraldic bearing. The Arslanagić bridge in Trebinje, vice versa, a magnificent asymmetrical construction of the XVI century, dismantled from its original site in the ‘60s and reconstructed a bit more downhill, today appears non-frequented, as if it was “forgotten” by the city that could recognize in other things its own identity emblems
