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
Change
No full text'This chapter begins by engaging with definitions of change and its relationship to impact to explore the complexities of this pairing and draw out key challenges and implications for examining change within practice working specifically with young people living in towns and cities.
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
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
Witnessing Change and Youth Agency
No full textAn outline and application of 'shared understandings and possibilities from different fields of thought to articulate possible applications of witnessing change as a framework for applied theatre practice.
Introduction
No full text'It is our intention that the case studies in this book will highlight new possibilities for applied theatre to understand and answer back to the specific challenges of practice aiming to create space for change with young people.
Recovery or Regeneration? Reconceptualising the Impact of the Creative Arts in Mental Health Contexts
No full textThrough a range of examples of practice, this chapter explores the idea of witnessing, experiencing and denoting change in the context of arts and health practices, particularly with young mental health services users, as psychiatric stigma and the internalised language of illness can be especially damaging at this crucial time of identity development. It explores how the positionality and politics of discourses of change infuse our work and can have significant implications for our participants, suggesting we look beyond existing frameworks to new conceptualisations that better resonate with the ethics of our praxis. Offering a critique of the concept of “recovery” in these contexts, this chapter posits the idea of “regeneration” as an alternative conceptual framework for describing the potential shifts brought about by engagement with applied arts
Dispelling 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
