    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    No full text
    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

    Square Dancing with the Stars to Enhance Dynamic Hirschman Linkages?

    No full text
    In this Presidential Address, the author takes the reader on a reconnaissance of his life and time as a regional scientist. He points out scenery he found scintillating along the way, hoping that some may pick up the banner and chew on a few of the ideas for a while. He suggests a revisit to Albert O. Hirschman’s notion of key sectors and more empirical analysis related to Marcus Berliant’s and Masahisa Fujita’s notion of knowledge creation and transfer.Presidential Address, San Antonio, Texas, March 29, 2014 (53rd Meetings of the Southern Regional Science Association

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    No full text
    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

    No full text
    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

    Contribution à l'amélioration du processus d'accréditation et d'audit des offres de formation LMD dans les universités algériennes

    La préparation de l’engagement de l’Université algérienne dans le système LMD date de 2000. Durant la décennie passée, plusieurs expériences ont été vécues et les résultats actuels montrent un tableau contenant des insuffisances et certaines réussites. Aujourd’hui, la période du couronnement des premiers doctorants LMD est arrivée à terme ; c’est le fameux slogan qui a été lancé à l’époque (L : 3 ans, M : +2 ans et D : +3 ans) ou « LMD : 3-5-8 ». Dans cette communication, nous examinons plusieurs aspects en liaison avec cette problématique et nous discutons dans un contexte local les résultats après la période de 8 années. En premier lieu, nous abordons l’essence des textes et leur évolution pour voir s’ils ont contribués à la mise en route d’un système d’enseignement performant du point de vue des enseignants et des étudiants. En second lieu, nous abordons les objectifs (ou les contenus lorsque c’est possible) des offres de formations sur les 3 paliers (LMD) pour voir l’adéquation avec la demande du marché du travail et le besoin économique du pays. Il ne sera retenu que les offres de formation relatives au domaine Sciences et Technologie de l’Université Badji Mokhtar d’Annaba. Enfin, nous proposons un système d’audit tenant compte de la réalité du déroulement des enseignements en vue d’instaurer la sauvegarde des objectifs qualité, le suivi des offres, l’amélioration des prestations pédagogiques et l’implication des enseignants et des étudiants

    Les fortifications de Bône : Territoire à agrandir et structure à ajuster (1845-1880).

    No full text
    International audienceIn this paper, we tell the history of the fortifications of Bône (Today Annaba). Two reasons return this useful examination. On one side, the shaping of the fortifications contained a serious incidence on the urban structure of the city in training and so delivered a new territory to the conquest and t the growth. On the other hand, the examination of the projects of fortifications shows the immense profusion of the ideas of the military engineering which was responsible for it and so underlines its capacity to enter negotiation with the other building trades and especially with the « civil administration ».Dans cet article, nous relatons l'histoire des fortifications de Bône (Aujourd'hui Annaba). Deux raisons rendent cet examen utile. Si l'enquête sur les documents d'archives conduit d'un côté, au constat de l'impact des fortifications sur la forme générale de la ville, elle dévoile d'un autre côté, l'immense foisonnement des idées du génie militaire qui en était responsable. Ce travail veut surtout souligner la capacité du génie militaire à entrer en négociation avec les autres corps d'état et surtout avec l'«administration civile ». Le regard ici suggéré tente d'éclairer cette part de la formation de Bône aussi bien comme matérialité que comme terreau d'idées
