    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Full text link
    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

    Variations on the Author

    “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 link
    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

    I am a noted highwayman

    voiceSung by Oran Beasle y Heber Springs, Ark Dec 23, 1963 Reel 426, Item 4 **COLE YOUNGER** 1. I am a noted highwayman, Cole Younger is my name, Through many a depredation, I've brought my friends to shame. The robbing of the east-bound train, The same I can't deny, Now I am a poor prisoner, In water jail I lie. 2. Out of my bold robberies, This story I will tell, A rich California miner, With him I used to dwell. I robbed him of his money, boys, And bid him go his way, The same I will be sorry for, Until my dying day. 3. We rode out to Texas, Twas like a starry sheet, There upon the prairies, The James Boys we did meet. With knives, guns, and revolvers, We all sat down to play, A drinking a lotta good whiskey boys To pass the time away. 4. The next thing that was on our mind, Was to rob the east-bound train, Crimes done by bloody hands, Bring tears into my eyes. Fireman, engineerman killed, Conductor escapes alive, And now their bodies lie motionless, Beneath the starry skies.

Chorus: Come a whim-bo, whaddle-um, little boy daddle-um, Jim-straw straddle-um, riding on a broom-straw. 2. Swapped that mare for a colt, Ever time I rode him, he gave me a jolt. Chorus: 3. Swapped that colt for a cow, Went out to milk and I didn't know how. Chorus: 4. Swapped the cow for a calf, In that trade, I lost just half. Chorus: 5. Swapped the calf for a pig, Went to town and I bought him a wig. Chorus: 6. Swapped the pig for a cat, Took that wig and I made him a hat. Chorus: 7. Swapped the cat for a goose, Durned old thing kept settin' on a roost. Chorus: 8. Swapped the goose for a mole, The darn thing kept a-runnin' in its hole.

    voice; guitarsRecorded and edited by Sung by Oran Beasley Tom Beasley Heber Springs, Ark Dec 23, 1963 Reel 426, Item 3 **OLD EPHRIAM** Old Ephriam Johnson bought an old blind horse, And the old heck's name was Ball, He took him down to the pasture, To make a living or perish that thought. He went to town and bought an old cow-bell, And he placed it aroung Ball's neck, When the bell would sound, old Eph would frown, Here comes that old blind heck. One night while returning from a neighbor's chicken roost, He fell into an old-time well, He hit the bottom so gosh-darned hard, That his mind was blank for a spell. He opened his eyes in wide surprise, When he heard that old cow-bell, He fell on his knees and began to pray, You could hear old Ephriam yell. Chorus: Oh lord, won't you help me outa this hole, Oh lord, won't you help a poor nigger soul. I'll never rob another chicken roost, or roll the dice for gold, Oh lord, won't you help me outa this hole. Note: At this point the music stops and the song is talked. You know, if the lord don't help me out of this hole, I don't how I'm going to get out. Wonder if the lord can hear me down here? If I ever do git outa this hole, I'm gonna shoot that old blind horse and I'm gonna move this hole. I lost my dice. I lost my chicken, and now that old blind horse is about to fall in here on me. look out up there Ball, one of your old feet's dangling in here now. Chorus: I'll never rob another chicken roost Or roll the dice for gold. Oh lord, won't you help me outa this hole.

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    Full text link
    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
