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
Os sentidos produzidos pelos valores sustentados no discurso da revista Veja
Get PDFCom o objetivo de responder como a revista Veja constrói comportamentos e institui sentidos sobre os valores que norteiam esses comportamentos, foram analisadas 22 reportagens de capa, sobre comportamento, para apontar os principais valores que a revista destaca como centrais. Após identificar os valores e suas marcas discursivas, foi realizado um mapeamento da presença desses valores no discurso de Veja sobre o comportamento contemporâneo. Esse mapeamento indica que podem ser reunidos em três grupos: valores dominantes; intermediários; e residuais. Serão analisados os valores intermediários, único grupo que reúne todos os tipos motivacionais2 compreendidos na análise: hedonismo, auto-realização, poder social, autodeterminação e estimulação.
Cinema noir: uma avaliação do gênero na perspectiva do hedonismo
Get PDFEste artigo parte de um estudo mais amplo, cujo problema de pesquisa propõe investigar se, a partir da contextualização do cinema noir clássico e do que se convencionou chamar de cinema neonoir, é possível considerar uma abordagem noir contemporânea. Elege-se o hedonismo como o cerne de uma das tipologias utilizadas para análise, dada sua relevância para o estudo do gênero, e pretende-se, neste artigo, demonstrar como ele é trabalhado no cinema noir clássico, amparado pela figura da femme fatale. Utilizam-se estratégias metodológicas da análise fílmica, a partir de Aumont e Marie (2004) e Vanoye e Goliot-Lété (1994), que permitem constatar que a femme fatale orienta as ações do protagonista, valorizando-se o hedonismo desde o período clássico do noir no cinema.Palavras-chave: cinema noir, hedonismo, femme fatale, análise fílmica.This article started from a bigger study, whose research problem intends to investigate if, using the contextualization of classic film noir and what is called neonoir film, is possible to consider a modern noir approach. The hedonism was chosen as the cern of one of the typologies used for the analysis, considering its relevance to the study of genre, and it’s also intended, in this article, to demonstrate how the hedonism is worked in the classic film noir, backed by the figure of the femme fatale. Methodological strategies of film analysis were used, from Aumont and Marie (2004) and Vanoye and Goliot-Lèté (1994), which permit to confirm that the femme fatale orientates the actions of the protagonist, valuing the hedonism since the classic period of the film noir.Keywords: film noir, hedonism, femme fatale, film analysis
Jornalismo e comportamento : os valores presentes no discurso da revista Veja
Get PDFAs reportagens de comportamento da revista Veja são o foco desta pesquisa, que busca definir que valores a revista destaca como centrais para nortear o comportamento contemporâneo. A amostragem reuniu 56 revistas, do período entre setembro de 2003 e setembro de 2004. Foram analisadas as 22 reportagens de capa sobre comportamento. O objetivo é responder como Veja constrói comportamentos contemporâneos e institui sentidos sobre os valores que os norteiam. Para isso, mapeamos os principais valores representados nas matérias, identificando as marcas discursivas desses valores e como elas constroem um efeito de paráfrase ao longo de textos diversos. O trabalho está inserido na perspectiva construcionista, que considera o poder do jornalismo na construção da realidade. A Análise de Discurso serve como suporte metodológico. Os principais autores utilizados para conduzir a pesquisa são Bauman, Giddens, Lipovetsky, Sennett, Traquina e Schwartz. Os valores encontrados na revista são representados pelas marcas discursivas que permitem evidenciá-los e demonstrar a freqüência com que são reiterados por Veja. Entre nossas conclusões, ganha destaque o fato de que saúde está presente em 77,27% de nosso corpus, enquanto os valores prazer, beleza e inteligência aparecem em 54,54% do total. Concluímos que os valores dominantes no discurso de Veja são os que defendem um indivíduo saudável, belo, inteligente e que viva com prazer
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
