Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
The 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
“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
Time and Memory: Conception of Durée and its Origins in Henry Bergson’s Philosophy
Anotācija
Promocijas darbs veltīts laika un atmiņas fenomenu izpratnei A. Bergsona filozofijā, uzmanības centrā novietojot ilgstamības idejas ģenēzes problēmu. Darba mērķis ir kritiski izvērtēt Bergsona laika koncepcijas vienotību un iekšējo saskaņotību. Par darba pētniecisko metodi ir izvēlēta ‘problēmu vēstures’ perspektīva. Šī pieeja ļauj rekonstruēt Bergsona argumentus, pārformulēt viņa mācībā atrodamās problēmas un meklēt eventuālos risinājumus 19./20. gadsimta mijas teorētisko diskusiju ietvaros. ‘Problēmu vēstures’ perspektīva sniedz iespēju Bergsona koncepcijā saskatīt līdz šim neaplūkotus risinājumus vairākām nozīmīgām un mūsdienās aktuālām filozofiskām problēmām – laika pārdzīvojumam apziņā un tā konceptualizācijai, ķermeņa un gara nošķīruma problēmai, tēla jēdziena interpretācijai, atmiņas kā virtuāla fenomena izpratnei.

My PhD thesis discusses concepts of time and memory in H. Bergson’s philosophy, focusing on genetic foundation of the idea of duration in his early works. The basic purpose of this study is critical investigation of Bergsonian conception of time as unified and consistent theory. ‘History of problems’ here provides the main methodological tool in reconstructing the arguments and dealing with issues that Bergsonian theory face competing with different theories at the turn of the 20th century. This sort of approach in Bergsonian studies gives a chance to come forward with new-found solutions to such substantial and ever urgent philosophical issues as conscious experience of time and its conceptualization, the mind–body relation, interpretation of the notion of image, conception of memory as virtual phenomenon.

Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
We 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
We 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
We 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
