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
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
Le « chômage intellectuel » en Belgique : naissance d’une expertise en perspective transnationale (1923-1948)
Full text linkLes difficultés d’insertion professionnelle des jeunes diplômés de l’enseignement supérieur suscitent aujourd’hui de vives inquiétudes qui se manifestent tant dans les débats de société que dans les travaux des sciences sociales. De telles inquiétudes ne sont pas une nouveauté : elles ressurgissent régulièrement dans les discours depuis l’Ancien Régime, sous diverses appellations. Durant l’Entre-deux-guerres, une nouvelle expression émerge en langue française pour désigner ces difficultés : le « chômage des intellectuels ». Apparue dans le vocabulaire des spécialistes du chômage en 1923, la formule se répand au cours de la crise des années 1930, en particulier dans les travaux d’un réseau transnational d’acteurs et d’institutions revendiquant sur cette thématique l’autorité de l’expertise. Dans cette thèse, nous appréhendons le phénomène de chômage des intellectuels à travers les discours et les pratiques de ces experts : nous cherchons à comprendre comment ces acteurs ont été reconnus comme tels et comment ils ont réussi (ou non) à influencer les politiques destinées à combattre ce phénomène. Cette problématique est abordée à travers le cas belge, tout en adoptant une perspective transnationale.
En Belgique, deux figures incarnent cette expertise nouvelle : Henri Fuss, chef du service du chômage au Bureau international du Travail, et Jean Willems, directeur de la Fondation Universitaire. Fuss et Willems s’imposent durant l’Entre-deux-guerres comme des personnalités en vue de la communauté épistémique transnationale qui se constitue alors autour de l’étude « méthodique », « objective » et quantitative du « marché de l’emploi intellectuel ». Les ambitions scientifiques de ce réseau d’experts se heurtent cependant à l’ambiguïté des termes « chômage » et « intellectuels », ambiguïté qui reflète la place alors assignée dans la hiérarchie sociale aux porteurs de diplôme de l’enseignement supérieur. De plus, le parcours de ces deux figures belges révèle la dimension intrinsèquement politique de cette expertise : quoique réunies par un commun refus des solutions ouvertement discriminatoires, l’une et l’autre diffèrent par leurs méthodes d’étude du problème, par les causes et les conséquences qu’elles lui imputent, et par les remèdes qu’elles lui prescrivent. De l’issue de leur affrontement dépendra la voie que prendra la Belgique pour venir à bout du chômage des intellectuels.The hardships experienced by young graduates of higher education seeking professional integration constitute a major concern today, a concern that is reflected both in social debates and in social science literature. However, there is nothing new to the issue, which has appeared as a recurring theme of discourse under a variety of names since the Early modern period. During the Interwar period, a new expression emerged in French to describe these difficulties: the ‘chômage des intellectuels’. The phrase was first coined in the vocabulary of unemployment specialists in 1923 and spread during the crisis of the 1930s. During this decade, this expression was particularly common in the work of a transnational network of actors and institutions who claimed expert authority on the subject. In this thesis, we look at the phenomenon of ‘intellectual unemployment’ through the discourses and practices of these experts: we try to understand how these actors were recognised as such and how they succeeded (or failed) in influencing policies designed to fight this form of unemployment. We address this research topic through the Belgian case, while adopting a transnational perspective.
In Belgium, two figures embody this new expertise: Henri Fuss, head of the unemployment service at the International Labour Office, and Jean Willems, director of the University Foundation. During the Interwar period, Fuss and Willems establish themselves as leading figures in the transnational epistemic community that is being formed at that time around the ‘methodical’, ‘objective’ and quantitative study of the ‘intellectual labour market’. However, the scientific ambitions of this network of experts come up against the ambiguity of the terms ‘unemployment’ and ‘intellectuals’, an ambiguity which reflects in turn the place assigned in the social hierarchy to holders of higher education degrees. Furthermore, the stories of these two Belgian figures reveal the intrinsically political dimension of this expertise: although they are united in their rejection of openly discriminatory solutions, they differ in the methods they use to study the problem, the causes and consequences they attribute to it, and the remedies they prescribe. The outcome of their clash will determine the path Belgium takes to overcome graduate unemployment
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
