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
La habitabilidad de la caja
Full text linkEl movimiento de los Case Study Houses fue iniciado por la Revista Arts & Architecture en enero de 1945, en Los Angeles. El gestor de dicho movimiento, John Entenza, editor de esta publicación, era un gran admirador del Movimiento Moderno. Entenza se proponía entregarle al público norteamericano, casas para todos de bajo costo y como una manera de aumentar la demanda de viviendas en un país que salía de la depresión y la segunda guerra mundial. La idea era crear una suerte de prototipos modernos, que luego se masificarán con el uso de materiales de origen industrial, como el acero. Con esta idea consiguió clientes reales y jóvenes arquitectos que él mismo eligió personalmente, lo que reflejó su particular visión de la nueva arquitectura
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
Los tiempos del pensamiento y la reflexión crítica versus la búsqueda de la instantaneidad artificial
Full text linkEn septiembre del año 2000, aparece el primer número de la revista Arteoficio con un contenido que se centró en la labor formativa de los talleres de arquitectura exponiendo los trabajos de los alumnos. Explicar la visión editorial de hace casi un cuarto de siglo es relevante ya que será a fines de los años 90 del siglo XX que las escuelas de arquitectura y las oficinas profesionales comiencen a incorporar las nuevas tecnologías computacionales como Auto Cad y Archicad. Estas, aun cuando revolucionarias, se tomaron como avances tecnológicos que mejoraban la productividad y por sobre todo disminuían los tiempos de trabajo y los errores propios de dibujar a mano sobre papel diamante
