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
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
Applied pipe organ research at the Fraunhofer IBP Stuttgart
No full textS.9-28Musikinstrumente sind weltweit tief in den kulturellen Traditionen verwurzelt. Sie sind Teil unseres kulturellen Erbes und ihre Erhaltung und Weiterentwicklung verdient unsere größte Aufmerksamkeit. Das Fraunhofer-Institut für Bauphysik (IBP) beschäftigt sich seit vielen Jahren mit der Erforschung und Weiterentwicklung europäischer Musikinstrumente, insbesondere der Pfeifenorgel. Die Erhaltung des Klangs, die Unterstützung beim Bau von Instrumenten sowie der Beitrag zur Weiterentwicklung durch die Integration moderner Technologien stehen im Mittelpunkt der gemeinsamen Forschung mit anderen Forschungseinrichtungen und einer Vielzahl von europäischen Orgelbauunternehmen. In mehr als 25 Jahren wurden 9 gemeinsame europäische und mehrere andere Forschungsprojekte durchgeführt. Einige Beispiele für die Themen sind die Entwicklung von 1) verschiedenen Arten von neuen Windsystemen, Methoden und Softwaretools für die Planung, 2) Entwurfsmethoden, Tools und Softwaretools mit Computersimulationen für Lippen- (Labial) und Zungen- (Lingual) Orgelpfeifen, 3) innovative Jalousien, 4) Entwurfsmethoden und spezielle Werkzeuge zur Anpassung des Instruments an die Raumakustik. Das Forschungsverfahren, die Art der Kommunikation mit Instrumentenbauern, die Ausarbeitung von Projektanträgen, die Koordinierung bzw. Leitung der Teamarbeit bei der Durchführung von Europäischen Forschungsprojekten, die Methode der Demonstration und Verbreitung der Forschungsergebnisse werden auch kurz vorgestellt.Throughout the world, musical instruments are deeply rooted in cultural traditions. They are part of our cultural heritage, and their preservation and further development deserves our utmost attention. For many years, the Fraunhofer Institute for Building Physics IBP has been engaged in the research and development of European musical instruments, the pipe organ in particular. To preserve its sound, to give support in building instruments as well as to contribute to the further development by integrating modern technologies are the focus of the joint research with other research institutions and a multitude of European organ building enterprises. In 25 years 9 common European and several other research projects were carried out. Some examples of the topics will be mentioned like development of 1) different kinds of new wind systems, methods and software tools for the design, 2) design methods, tools and software applying computer-simulations for flue and reed organ pipes, 3) innovatives well shutters, 4) design methods and comprehensive tools for matching the instrument to the acoustics of the room. Also the procedure of research, way of communication with instrument manufacturers, the preparation of project proposals, the coordination and leadership of teamwork in the implementation of European research works, the method of demonstration and dissemination of research results will be breafly presented.3Nr.
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
