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
Architecture et réalité augmentée. Une manière d’écrire l’espace : la pensée visuelle instrumentée
No full textThis thesis questions and compares two augmented reality devices, one, UrbaSee, intended for the mediation of urban space during a Concerted Development Zone project, the other, HistoPad, intended for the mediation of urban space. the reconstruction of a historic space. An empirical research jointly combines devices analyzes and ethnographic inquiry through four parts comprised of three chapters each. The first part, establishing our epistemological posture, our methodology of investigation and the definition of fields and cases under study, considers the connection between a semiotics of writing and the anthropology of figuration. The second part questions devices as a poietic technology of seeing. A technosemiotic analysis and a phenomenotechnical approach situate the image of augmented reality between an art image and a scientific image, in which we observe a disproportionate editorial utterance. The third part considers the devices as performative technologies of the imagination, oscillating between a stimulated imagination and a fantasized technology that we analyze through the prism of media variation. Our fourth part shows that these writing strategies mask a process of ownership. The analysis of the belief regimes that these devices give rise to, the creative mediations and the knowledge-power relations between partners and creators of augmented reality devices, reveals the symbolic and economic takeover of the software industry over the projects of others. What our thesis reflects is perhaps the start of a change in the technical, economic and symbolic environment of the practices of the trades in urban and museum spaces.Cette thèse interroge et compare deux dispositifs de réalité augmentée, l’un, UrbaSee, destiné à la médiation de l’espace urbain au cours d’un projet de Zone d’Aménagement Concerté, l’autre, HistoPad, destiné à la médiation de la reconstitution d’un espace historique. Une recherche empirique mêle conjointement analyses de dispositifs et enquête ethnographique à travers quatre parties de trois chapitres chacune. La première partie, réservée à notre posture épistémologique, notre méthodologie d’enquête et à la définition des terrains et corpus, considère le rapprochement entre une sémiotique de l’écriture et anthropologie de la figuration. La seconde partie interroge les dispositifs comme technologie poïétique du voir. Une analyse technosémiotique et une approche phénoménotechnique situent l’image de réalité augmentée entre image d’art et image scientifique, dans laquelle on observe une énonciation éditoriale hypertrophiée. La troisième partie envisage les dispositifs comme des technologies performatives de l’imagination, oscillant entre un imaginaire stimulé et une technologie fantasmée que nous analysons au prisme de la variation médiatique. Notre quatrième partie montre que ces stratégies d’écriture masquent un processus de propriétarisation. L’analyse des régimes de croyance que ces dispositifs suscitent, des médiations créatives et des rapports de savoir-pouvoir entre commanditaires et créateurs des dispositifs de réalité augmentée, révèle la prise de pouvoir symbolique et économique de l’industrie logicielle sur les projets d’autrui. Ce dont rend compte notre thèse est peut-être l’amorce d’un changement dans l’environnement technique, économique et symbolique des pratiques des corps de métiers de l’espace urbain et muséal
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
La représentation contre la représentation. Dispositifs d’écriture de l’espace et pratiques de représentation : l’objet de la querelle
No full textÀ partir d’un travail de thèse qui s’appuie sur une analyse ethno-sémiotique, ce texte montre comment les représentations, modélisations et simulations d’un dispositif de réalité augmentée participe de médiations professionnelles. Le dispositif technique renouvelle la confiance entre un urbaniste et son client par le jeu des représentations circulantes sur l’opérativité symbolique d’une classe professionnelle. Cependant la prise de pouvoir de l’ingénierie du dispositif sur la conception architecturale est le signe d’un enjeu entre les différentes représentations.Based on a thesis that is based on an ethno-semiotic analysis, this text shows how the representations, models and simulations of an augmented reality device participate in professional mediations. The technical device renews the trust between an urban planner and his client through the play of circulating representations on the symbolic operation of a professional class. However, the takeover of the engineering of the device over the architectural design is a sign of a stake between the different representations
