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
Current challenges in psychoanalytic training. Creativity in the transmission of psychoanalysis.Training through the Latin American Institute of Psychoanalysis (ILAP)
No full textA quienes vivimos en países donde el psicoanálisis está habilitado como práctica de larga trayectoria y como teoría presente en lacultura en todas sus expresiones, nos conmueve escuchar «voluntades» o «deseos» de querer formarse para ser psicoanalistas provenientes de personas que han tenido escaso contacto con la disciplina en sus lugares de origen.Sabemos que la formación en psicoanálisis es necesariamente inconclusa y parece ir a contramano del inmediatismo, de la respuesta fácil.El tiempo de nuestro oficio es otro tiempo, por lo que la formación psicoanalítica exige mucha disponibilidad en tiempo real y en disposición a estudiar, pensar y hablar largamente de lo que se entiende y de lo que no.Aun así, sorteando muchos obstáculos, se continúa eligiendo la formación psicoanalítica, que es como decir «elegir la experiencia del deseo», esquivo y evanescente, como eje de trabajo, en condiciones que pueden visualizarse adversas desde el punto de vista de la organización social, de las posibilidade
La cena:: apuntes para seguir pensando los modos de transmisión del deseo y la ley
No full textHow are we affected by literary works in our psychoanalytic practice and theorization? I resort to some notes from my reading of La cena (The dinner), by Herman Koch, in order to continue our reflection on the forms of transmission of the wish and the law and their effects; the family beyond the «mess» (Roudinesco, 2002), parenthood and filiation outside legality. How do we transmit the wish from one generation to the next? Which wish are we talking about when it is not within the frame of prohibition? The actual absence of the father does not in itself imply a trauma; his absence becomes traumatic only if it implies a symbolic absence. In this sense, I will also mention Telemachus, the character in The Oddisssey, son of Oddisseus and Penelope, who was raised in the actual absence of his father. The dinner and The Oddissey are very distant accounts in chronological time; however, there is a thematic continuity which in this case contributes to our understanding of the changes in the subjectivities which, we believe, are dependent on historical variation, though we consider it is also possible to sustain that the Unconscious ignores time. What changes? What remains? Finally, I refer to Dany-Robert Dufour. Does the subject of contemporary civilization continue to organize his suffering in a neurotic way? Is the existence of the «Freudian subject», paradigm of modernity, under threat, and therefore its forms of organization, defenses and pleasures are also under threat?¿Cómo somos afectados por las obras literarias en nuestra práctica y teorización psicoanalítica? Traigo la lectura y algunos apuntes de La cena, de Herman Koch, para seguir pensando los modos de transmisión del deseo y la ley y sus efectos; la familia más allá del «desorden» (Roudinesco, 2002), la parentalidad y la filiación sin legalidad. ¿Cómo transmitimos el deseo de una generación a otra, de qué deseo hablamos cuando no está enmarcado en la prohibición? La ausencia empírica del padre no supone en sí mismo un trauma; su carencia se vuelve traumática si implica una carencia simbólica. En este sentido, también evoco al personaje de La Odisea, Telémaco, hijo de Ulises y Penélope, a quien se crió en ausencia real de padre. La cena y La Odisea son relatos muy distantes en tiempo cronológico; sin embargo, mantienen una continuidad temática que en este caso colabora para seguir pensando en los cambios en las subjetividades que, creemos, están supeditadas a la variación histórica, aunque al mismo tiempo también creemos posible sostener que lo Inconsciente ignora el tiempo. ¿Qué cambia? ¿Qué permanece? Tomo, finalmente, a Dany-Robert Dufour. ¿El sujeto de la civilización contemporánea continúa organizando su sufrimiento en forma neurótica? ¿Está amenazada la existencia del «sujeto freudiano», paradigma de la modernidad y, por lo tanto, sus modos de organización, defensas y goces
Con Albert Namer en torno al Hogar Terapéutico Infantil: Centro de Intercambio de APU
Get PDFReseña de la actividad, realizada en la Asociación Psicoanalítica del Uruguay en el espacio de la Actividad Científica el 25 de febrero de 2011.
La inclusión de esta reseña en la RUP Nº 112, titulada «Lazo Erótico» responde al interés por transcribir algo de lo producido en el encuentro que tuvo lugar en la APU −convocado por su Centro de Intercambio− en ocasión de la visita de Albert Namer, encuentro importante desde un punto de vista intelectual que enlazó historia e intensos afectos. Reencuentro del autor con personas fundadoras de la experiencia del Hogar Terapéutico Infantil (HTI) que tuvo lugar hace 40 años, encuentro con el libro editado hace 8 años, que el autor tuvo la oportunidad de debatir en esta oportunidad por primera vez; encuentro directo con un público ávido de conocer «de primera mano» su experiencia del HTI.

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
