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

Visual-Interactive Segmentation of Multivariate Time Series
No full textChoosing appropriate time series segmentation algorithms and relevant parameter values is a challenging problem. In order to choose meaningful candidates it is important that different segmentation results are comparable. We propose a Visual Analytics (VA) approach to address these challenges in the scope of human motion capture data, a special type of multivariate time series data. In our prototype, users can interactively select from a rich set of segmentation algorithm candidates. In an overview visualization, the results of these segmentations can be compared and adjusted with regard to visualizations of raw data. A similarity-preserving colormap further facilitates visual comparison and labeling of segments. We present our prototype and demonstrate how it can ease the choice of winning candidates from a set of results for the segmentation of human motion capture data
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
Visual Analytics in Process Mining: Classification of Process Mining Techniques
No full textThe increasing interest from industry and academia has driven the development of process mining techniques over the last years. Since the process mining entails a strong explorative perspective, the combination of process mining and visual analytics methods is a fruitful multidisciplinary solution to enable the exploration and the understanding of large amounts of event log data. In this paper, we propose a first approach how process mining techniques can be categorized with respect to visual analytics aspects. Since ProM is a widely used open-source framework which includes most of the existing process mining techniques as plug-ins, we concentrate on the plugins of ProM as use case to show the applicability of our approach
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
