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
«-Veo…-¿Que ves ? » : Une brèche vers l'Autre scène: Autour de La Morte rouge, film de Victor Erice, 2006
No full textInternational audienceThe film La Morte rouge commissioned to Victor Erice by curators of the exhibition: Victor Erice / Abbas Kiarostami: Correspondances (Barcelona 2006 / Paris 2007), plunges into the memory of the first fight of the child spectator with the violence of the world unveiled by cinema. How does the taste of cinema come to childhood? Especially in the time before the irruption of animated images in the domestic universe with television, and in the context of crises like in 1946 in Basque Country, where the Francoist repression, Terror Blanco, will not finally known only a slight respite. The disturbance felt by the child face to the projection of the American film The Scarlet Claw formes an experience of the elsewhere in a Spain ordered to the fold back and fence, thus marking the insubordination of constructions of the imaginary.La Morte rouge holds our attention for several reasons. It proposes itself as the audiovisual implementation of an imaginary representation of the territories of childhood. But it is also constituted as a proposal to integrate the individual experience of a child at the dawn of his individuation in a history of awakening to the World and to the Other. Finally, to propose himself as a "style factory" for this child, who is destined to become the author of one of the most fecund works of Spanish cinema at the end of Francoism.Le film La Morte rouge commandé à Victor Erice par les commissaires de l’exposition Victor Erice / Abbas Kiarostami : Correspondances (Barcelone 2006 / Paris 2007), plonge ainsi dans la mémoire du premier combat de l’enfant spectateur avec les violences du monde dévoilées par le cinéma. Comment le goût du cinéma vient à l’enfance ? Tout particulièrement dans les temps d’avant l’irruption des images animées dans l’univers domestique, avec la télévision, et dans les contextes de crises, comme en 1946 au Pays Basque, où la répression franquiste, la Terror blanco, n’aura, finalement, connu qu’un mince répit. Le trouble ressenti par l’enfant devant la projection du film américain La Griffe sanglante se constitue ainsi comme expérience de l’ailleurs dans une Espagne ordonnée au repli et à la clôture, marquant ainsi l’insubordination des constructions de l’imaginaire.La Morte rouge retient notre attention à plusieurs titres. Il se propose comme la mise en œuvre audiovisuelle d’un imaginaire des représentations des territoires de l’enfance. Mais il se constitue aussi comme une proposition pour intégrer l’expérience individuelle d’un enfant à l’aube de son individuation dans une histoire conjointe à l’éveil au monde et à l’autre. Et se propose enfin comme « manufacture de style » pour cet enfant promis à devenir l’auteur d’une des œuvres les plus foisonnante du cinéma espagnol de la fin du franquisme
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
