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
L' art politique et la lois pendant la seconde sophistique et l' antiquité tardive
No full textThe object of this thesis is the evolution of political philosophy from the 2nd century BC until the 6th century AD. This era is characterized by the Roman Empire’s rise and fall and coincides with the emergence of the Second Sophistic movement. In addition, this period marked the transition from Classical Antiquity to the Middle Ages, known as Late Antiquity. Following the regime changes that occurred in Rome through the eyes of Polybius and Cicero, the perceptions of the Middle Stoics, the Neo-Pythagoreans and Plutarch, who contributed to the clarification of cosmopolitanism and idea of monarchy, we focus on the works of Dio Chrysostom with emphasis on Τhe Discourses on Kingship. Under the influence of Platonic philosophy, Dio highlights the value of kingship as a natural choice for people stemming from the analogy between heavenly and earthly government and attempts to portray the model of an ideal hegemon. The political topoi of Dio are thoroughly developed by Late Antiquity writers Eusebius, Julian, Themistius, Libanius, Synesius and Agapetus. Taking into consideration the political speeches of Aelius Aristides, these thinkers analyze the model of kingship, the difference between kingship and tyranny, the virtues of the ruler and his education, the importance of philan-thropy and piety, the theory of the living law and its relationship to clemency, the social virtues of philadelphia, friendship, social justice and homonoia.Η παρούσα διατριβή εστιάζεται στη διαμόρφωση της πολιτικής φιλοσοφίας κατά την περίοδο από τον 2ο αι. π.Χ. έως τον 6ο αι. μ.Χ.. Χαρακτηρίζεται από την ακμή και την παρακμή της ρωμαϊκής αυτοκρατορίας, περίοδο κατά την οποία δημιουργείται το κίνημα της Δεύτερης Σοφιστικής, και από τη συγκρότηση της Ύστερης Αρχαιότητας ως εποχής μετάβασης από την Αρχαιότητα στον Μεσαίωνα. Έχοντας προσεγγίσει τις πολιτειακές μεταβολές που επισυμβαίνουν στη Ρώμη υπό το πρίσμα του Πολύβιου και του Κικέρωνα, τις αντιλήψεις των εκ-προσώπων της Μέσης Στοάς, των Νεοπυθαγορείων και του Πλουτάρχου που συμβάλλουν στην αποσαφήνιση του κοσμοπολιτισμού και της μοναρχικής ιδέας, επικεντρώσαμε την προσοχή μας στο έργο του Δίωνος του Χρυσοστόμου με έμφαση στους λόγους Περὶ βασιλείας. Ο Δίων υπογραμμίζει την αξία της βασιλείας ως φυσικής επιλογής των ανθρώπων λόγω της αναλογίας της κοσμικής διοίκησης με την επίγεια διακυβέρνηση και προσπαθεί να παρουσιάσει το ιδανικό πρότυπο ηγεμόνος με εμφανείς επιρροές από την πλατωνική φιλοσοφία. Οι πολιτικοί τόποι του Δίωνος αναπτύσσονται διεξοδικά από τους συγγραφείς της Ύστερης Αρχαιότητας Ευσέβιο, Ιουλιανό, Θεμίστιο, Λιβάνιο, Συνέσιο και Αγαπητό Διάκονο. Έχοντας υπόψη τους, εκτός των άλλων και τους πολιτικούς λόγους του Αίλιου Αριστείδη, οι στοχαστές ασχολούνται με το πρότυπο βασιλείας, τη διαφοροποίηση της από την τυραννία, τις αρετές και την παιδεία του βασιλιά, τη σπουδαιότητα της φιλανθρωπίας και της ευσέβειας, τη θεωρία του έμψυχου νόμου και τη σχέση της με την αρχή της επιείκειας, τις κοινωνικές αρετές της φιλαδελφίας, της φιλίας, της κοινωνικής δικαιοσύνης και της ομόνοιας.L’objet de notre recherche est l’évolution de la philosophie – et, plus généralement, de la théorie – politique depuis le IIe siècle av. J.-C. jusqu’au VIe siècle après J.-C.. Cette période est caractérisée d’une part par l’ essor et la décadence de l’ Empire romain, époque durant laquelle apparaît et se développe le mouvement de la Seconde Sophistique, et, de l’ autre, par ce qu’on appelle Antiquité tardive, à savoir la période de transition entre le monde antique et le Moyen Âge. Après avoir examiné les changements politiques fondamentaux qu’ a connus Rome selon Polybe et Cicéron, nous tentons de scruter les conceptions des représentants principaux du stoïcisme moyen et du néo-pythagorisme, ainsi que de Plutarque, qui contribuent à l’ approfondissement du cosmopolitisme et de l’ idée monarchique. Ensuite nous nous penchons sur l’ œuvre de Dion Chrysostome en mettant l’ accent sur Les Discours sur la royauté; Dion met en valeur le pouvoir royal en tant que choix naturel des hommes en raison de l’analogie entre le règne céleste et le gouvernement terrestre et propose un modèle idéal du souverain fortement marqué par le platonisme. Les topoi politiques de Dion ont été repris et développés par plusieurs écrivains de l’Antiquité tardive, notamment par Eusèbe, Julien, Thémistios, Libaniοs d’ Antioche, Synésios de Cyrène et Agapet de Constantinople. En gardant à l’ esprit également les discours poli-tiques d’Aelius Aristide, ces penseurs étudient le modèle idéal de la royauté, la différence entre la royauté et la tyrannie, les vertus du gouverneur et son éducation, l’ importance de la philanthropie et de la piété, la théorie de la loi vivante et sa relation avec la clémence, enfin les vertus sociales de la fraternité, de l’ amitié, de la justice sociale et de la concorde (homonoia)
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
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
