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
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
O canto e o silêncio na poética de Orides Fontela
Get PDFThis paper investigates the relationship between literary form and philosophical speculation in a few poems by Brazilian poet Orides Fontela, focusing on the contrast of some symbols of his poetry with the literary tradition of the West and on an internal analysis of these symbols with the aim of establishing some conceptual distinctions for an hermeneutics of poetry.Este artigo investiga as relações entre forma literária e especulação filosófica em alguns poemas de Orides Fontela. A reflexão parte de uma síntese da recepção crítica da obra do poeta; em seguida, confronta alguns símbolos dessa poesia com a tradição literária do ocidente e, por fim, esboça uma análise interna desses símbolos com o objetivo de estabelecer algumas distinções conceituais para uma hermenêutica da poesia
A santidade do poema: ascese da forma, metamorfose dos símbolos em Orides Fontela
Get PDFThis essay discusses the proximity between the formal depuration, that is present in the poetry of Orides Fontela, and the spiritual asceticism, ancient practice of the Western tradition. I discuss the concept of holiness, in its conventional sense, to develop the proposed reflection; then, I think of the possible links between poetry and religious experience in the modern world and conclude with an analytical commentary of some Orides Fontela´s poems in order to define the status of the poetic work against the sacred.Este ensaio discute a proximidade entre a depuração formal, presente na poesia de Orides Fontela, e a ascese espiritual, prática milenar da tradição ocidental. Para desenvolver a reflexão proposta, abordo o conceito de santidade, em seu sentido convencional; em seguida, reflito os vínculos possíveis entre poesia e experiência religiosa no mundo moderno e concluo com um comentário analítico de alguns poemas de Orides Fontela com o objetivo de definir o estatuto da palavra poética frente ao sagrado
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe 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
