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
Per una tassonomia delle occorrenze omometriche nei canti strofici di Sofocle
No full textTra gli strumenti a disposizione del poeta greco, figurano le occorrenze omometriche, forme di coincidenza metrico-verbale che, nell’identità della collocazione metrica in una struttura strofica, nascondono l’intenzione autoriale di un potenziamento della dimensione semantica dell’ode attraverso l’abile sfruttamento dei meccanismi della ripetizione. Nelle composizioni sofoclee, all’obiettivo primario di dimostrarne l’attinenza con l’azione drammatica in svolgimento si sommano altre specializzazioni d’uso che, mentre potrebbero evidenziare il ruolo attoriale attivo della compagine corale, invitano a un’attenta riflessione di ordine tassonomico che colga le plurime sfumature di uno strumento, la cui applicazione offre un ulteriore mezzo per l’esegesi e la profonda comprensione del prodotto poetico antico.Among the instruments at the Greek poet's disposal are homometrical occurrences, forms of metric-verbal coincidence that, in the identity of the metrical collocation in a strophic structure, conceal the authorial intention of an enhancement of the semantic dimension of the ode through the skilful exploitation of the mechanisms of repetition. In the Sophoclean compositions, the primary objective of demonstrating their relevance to the dramatic action in progress is compounded by other specialisations of use that, while they may highlight the active acting role of the choral ensemble, invite a careful reflection of a taxonomic order that grasps the multiple nuances of an instrument, the application of which offers a further means for the exegesis and profound understanding of the ancient poetic product
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
Riflessi di una occorrenza omometrica su una questione interpretativa : il significato di πεληάδες (Alcm., fr. 3.60 Cal.)
No full textAlcm., fr. 3 Cal., il cosiddetto Partenio del Louvre, probabilmente tratteggia un rito di passaggio in cui un coro di vergini loda due figure femminili attraverso paragoni animali. Una occorrenza omoemtrica collega le opposte immagini della civetta (v. 87) e del cigno (v. 101), contrapponendo le abilità canore delle giovani coreute a quelle di Agesicora. Armonicamente inserito nella struttura eulogica ad alternanza su cui è costruita l'ode, questa opposizione semantica sottolinea il sistema di immagini ornitologiche nell'ode e invita a riconsiderare il significato di πεληάδες (v. 60) come volutamente ambiguo tra il valore ornitologico difeso dagli scoli antichi e quello astronomico discusso dai moderni critici.Alcm., frg. 3 Cal., the so-called Louvre Partheneion, probably depicts a rite of passage where a maiden chorus praises two female fellows through animal comparisons. A homometric occurrence relates the opposing images of the owl (v. 87) and the swan (v. 101), contrasting the singing abilities of the young choristers and those of Hagesichora. Harmoniously fitting in the alternating eulogic structure which the ode is built on, this semantic opposition highlights the ornithological imagery of the ode and invites to reconsider the meaning of πεληάδες (v. 60) as deliberately ambiguous between the ornithologic value defended by the ancient scholia and the astronomic one argued by modern critics
