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
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

Memorial de Aires, sobrevivências em tradução
Full text linkTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Estudos da Tradução, Florianópolis, 2015.Memorial de Aires (1908), último romance de Machado de Assis, passou inadvertido por décadas como obra traduzível em várias línguas. Durante anos foi lido como sintoma da reconciliação de seu autor com a vida, sendo identificados em seu protagonista os traços mais característicos de sua maturidade. Posteriormente, foi objeto de uma leitura concentrada na relação entre ficção e história, caracterizada pela identificação e corroboração de fatos acontecidos no Brasil, na transição do Segundo Império à República. Sob essas duas vertentes de leitura, o romance foi valorizado em suas possibilidades de representação de uma determinada realidade, isto é, como testemunho, sendo assim desconsiderada sua potência como texto ficcional.No universo hispanofalante, o romance permaneceu ausente até 2001, ano em que saíram à luz três traduções, realizadas no México, na Espanha e na Argentina, respectivamente. Elas, ainda que elaboradas sob diferentes iniciativas e políticas de tradução, revelam-se, de maneiras diversas, herdeiras da leitura de corroboração que caracterizou a interpretação do romance.Esta tese, cujo objetivo fundamental é a apresentação de uma nova tradução do romance em formato bilíngue, propõe uma reflexão acerca da sobrevivência de Memorial de Aires, por meio da análise de sua fortuna crítica e das três traduções para o espanhol publicadas em 2001. Inclui, além dessa reflexão, que constitui um estágio fundamental para a análise das circunstâncias particulares da tradução aqui apresentada, uma abordagem do romance que se concentra nas características da escrita do protagonista-narrador e nas implicações da escolha do diário como tipo textual, como indícios de Memorial de Aires ser a realização mais sofisticada do artifício ficcional ensaiado antes por Machado de Assis em Memórias Póstumas de Brás Cubas (1880) e Dom Casmurro (1899).Abstract : Memorial Aires (1908) last novel by Machado de Assis, went unnoticed for decades as a translatable work into any languages. For years, it was read as a symptom of reconciliation of its author with life, identifying in its main character the most characteristic features of Machado?s maturity. Later on, it was the subject of a reading focusing on the relationship between fiction and history, aiming at identifying and corroborating in the text with the events that took place in Brazil in the transition from the Second Empire to the Republic. Under these two trends in its reading, the novel was appreciated in its possibilities of representation of a given reality, that is, as a witness, so disregarded its power as fictional text.In Spanish-speaking universe, the novel remained inexistent until 2001, when three translations appeared in Mexico, Spain and Argentina, respectively. Developed under different initiatives and translation politics, these three translations seem to inherit, although in various ways, the corroborating reading that has characterized the interpretation of the novel.This thesis, whose main purpose is the presentation of a new translation of the novel in a bilingual format, proposes a reflection on the Memorial de Aires?s survival, through the analysis of its literary criticism and of the three translations into Spanish published in 2001. This reflection is a fundamental stage for the analysis of the particular circumstances of the translation proposed. Furthermore, this thesis offers an approach of the novel that focuses on the writing features of the protagonist-narrator and the implications of the choice of the diary as textual type. As a result, Memorial de Aires proves to be the most sophisticated realization of a fictional device developed by Machado de Assis, a mechanism already experimented in Memórias Póstumas de Brás Cubas (1880) and Dom Casmurro (1899)
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

No full textDispelling 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
