    Dans sa réponse à Barry Smith, John Searle relève trois erreurs dans l’interprétation de son travail par son collègue. La première concerne la formule « X compte pour Y », qui est son principal moyen d’analyse : cette formule est utile non pas parce qu’elle fait partie de la définition des objets sociaux, mais parce qu’elle permet de distinguer les fonctions liées à des traits intrinsèques des objets des fonctions liées à la reconnaissance collective d’un statut. La deuxième erreur consiste à croire qu’il faut analyser les faits sociaux et institutionnels en termes d’objets sociaux. La troisième est encore plus fondamentale : ne voyant pas qu’une analyse naturaliste des faits institutionnels est nécessaire, Smith pense que Searle tente de répondre aux questions que lui-même se pose au sujet de la nécessité.In his reply to Barry Smith, John Searle emphasizes three misconceptions on Smith’s part. The first is a biased conception of the basic tool of the analysis : the formula “X counts as Y” is useful not because it is a part of a definition of social objects, but because it gives a way of articulating the distinction between functions performed in virtue of intrinsic features of the objects and functions which are performed in virtue of collective recognition of a status. The second mistake consists in believing that social and institutional facts are to be analyzed in terms of social objects. The third mistake is a more fundamental one : failing to see the need for a naturalistic account of institutional facts, Smith thinks that Searle is trying to answer his various questions about necessity

    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
