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
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

Immoral Panics: Black Queer Aesthetics and the Construction of Risk
No full textMy dissertation centers an established and emerging cohort of black queer contemporary visual artists and writers who articulate how blackness is historically constructed as a signal for erotic danger through a host of aesthetic strategies in order to argue for risk-taking as a mode of erotic liberation. Drawing on archival research, interviews with contemporary artists, and close readings of visual and literary objects, my project is the first to address the persistence of the HIV/AIDS crisis as it traverses time and space in the work of black queer cultural producers. Building upon recent interventions in the fields of Black Queer Studies, Art History, Literary Studies, and Film and Media Studies, I argue that black queer visual artists disrupt and expand upon a version of sexual risk-taking in (white) queer studies that is claimed as the vanguard of radical queer practice. Over four chapters, Immoral Panics considers how black gay, lesbian, nonbinary, and trans filmmakers, painters, and poets represent blackness as a sign of erotic risk in its shifting historical proximity to debates surrounding consent, ungendering, andthe HIV/AIDS crisis. Beginning in 1976 and concluding in 2018 the project, first, reveals the coconstitution of blackness and queerness as sexually excessive contagions by the state through proceeding generations and, second, marks the HIV/AIDS crisis as always already racialized and ongoing in the lives of black queers who now bear the structural brunt of queer radicalism.
In Chapter One, I argue that consent within queer pleasure is haunted by the violence of the law and the afterlife of slavery through a reading of the rarely cited archive of the 1976 police raid at the Mark IV Bathhouse during a white male BDSM slave auction and filmmaker Isaac Julien’s The Attendant (1993), produced in response to the AIDS crisis. In Chapter Two, I articulate how the initial moral panic regarding AIDS built upon the anti-black surveillance of skin color through attentive readings of the journals of late black gay writer Gary Fisher and the abstract paintings of Mark Bradford as they both pay sustained formal attention to society’s demeaning interest in AIDS-related cancer Kaposi’s Sarcoma. In Chapter Three, I argue that the disorientation experienced by black queers as they interface with queer public sex institutions, blamed for the spread of the virus, serves as a productive affective model for both inhabiting and critiquing queer risk and pleasure through close readings of the works of late black gay poet Essex Hemphill from 1992, London-based Indian gay photographer Sunil Gupta from 1999, and black lesbian filmmaker Tiona Nekkia McClodden in 2017. In Chapter Four, I demonstrate how a cohort of black nonbinary, queer, and trans contemporary painters and poets, including Jonathan Lyndon Chase, Danez Smith, and jayy dodd, play with and rearrange risky images and signifiers of black masculinity, as a form of pleasurable world-making under the specter of the virus
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
