    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    Exemples d’approche des plafonds à estrich de Moselle orientale

    Les plafonds à estrich sont des décors caractéristiques de la Lorraine germanophone. On les trouve en milieu rural, dans d’anciennes fermes et maisons paysannes des XVIIIe et XIXe siècles. Il s’agit de plafonds stuqués mis en œuvre grâce à des moules en bois gravés de signes, inscriptions et motifs décoratifs, pouvant ainsi être reproduits à l’envi. Cette technique n’existe en France que dans la micro-région est-mosellane mais se trouve selon toute vraisemblance également en Sarre et dans le Palatinat. En 2006, une découverte fortuite de plafonds à estrich dans une ferme de la commune de Hallering a conduit le service départemental de l’inventaire et du patrimoine de la Moselle à mener un recensement de ces décors si particuliers, dont beaucoup ont déjà disparu ou sont menacés de disparaître, en raison des conditions dans lesquels ils sont conservés, dans des lieux parfois humides, abandonnés ou sujets à des réhabilitations ne tenant pas compte de leur présence. Les plafonds nouvellement découverts à Hallering sont particulièrement intéressants car, outre des inscriptions et des signatures, ils comportent également des scènes historiées et des symboles politiques. Ils permettent aussi de suivre l’évolution de la production particulière de quelques artisans du XVIIIe siècle.In German-speaking Lorraine are some very particular decoration still preserved in old farms of the countryside. In those houses, built during the eighteenth and the nineteenth centuries, the ceilings are made of plaster moulded on an exposed beams structure. The wooden matrix, that has been carved by a creative craftsman, is used to reproduce the decoration over and over again. This technique is only known in this small territory of Eastern Lorraine but seems to exist in Germany as well (especially in the Saar and the Palatinate). 2006 another estrich ceiling happened to be found in a small village called Hallering. This fact persuaded the curatorial office of Heritage of Moselle to lead an inventory of those decorated ceilings. In fact, a lot of estrich ceilings are endangered: an important part has already disappeared during the twentieth century because the gypsum is very fragile when exposed to water in abandoned houses. The estrich ceilings are very interesting because the decorated face bear not only dedications and signatures but historiated scenes and political signs too. Therefore it is possible to study the works of a small circle of craftsmen decorating rural housings in the eighteenth century.Im deutschsprachigen Lothringen sind in alten Bauernhäusern aus dem 18. oder 19. Jahrhundert noch ganz besondere Ornamente vorhanden, so zum Beispiel in Holzgießformen abgedruckte Stuck-Gipsdecken, deren Muster von kreativen Handwerkern eingraviert wurden. Diese Technik hat sich in Frankreich nur in diesem begrenzten Gebiet entwickelt, aber sie hat anscheinend auch in Deutschland existiert, und zwar im Saarland und in der Pfalz. Nach einer neuen Entdeckung von Estrichdecken 2006 in einem alten Bauernhaus in der Gemeinde Halleringen sah sich die Kulturbehörde des Departement Mosel verpflichtet, eine Inventar von diesen Ornamenten anzulegen.Es ergibt sich, dass die Stuck-Gipsdecken heute in Ostlothringen ausgesprochen gefährdet sind. Da dieses weiche Material die Feuchtigkeit der verlassenen Häuser schlecht aushält, sind sogar davon viele schon verschwunden. An den besonders interessanten neuentdeckten Putzdecken lassen sich nicht nur In- und Unterschriften erkennen, sondern auch ländliche Szenen sowie politische Zeichen. Es wird also die Fertigkeit der kleinen Handwerkerkreise vor Augen geführt, die im 18. Jahrhundert zu der Verzierung der Bauernhäuser beigetragen haben

    Variations on the Author

    “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 PDF
    We 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

    We 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
