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
Sustainability in Software Engineering: A Systematic Literature Review for Building up a Knowledge Base
No full textBackground: Supporting sustainability in software engineering is becoming an active area of research and we want to contribute the first SLR in this field. Researchers who are motivated to contribute to that topic need to accumulate a body of knowledge as starting point through time-consuming literature research. Aim: We aim to provide an overview of different aspects of sustainability in software engineer- ing research with regard to research activity, investigated topics, identified limitations, proposed approaches, used methods, available studies, and considered domains. Method: The applied method is a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) in five reliable and commonly-used databases according to the (quasi-standard) protocol by Kitchenham et al. [288]. We assessed the 100 first results of each database ordered by relevance with respect to the search query. Results: Of 500 classified publications, we regard 96 as relevant for our research questions. Most of the excluded publications were ruled out because of an unfitting usage of terms within the search query. We sketch a taxonomy of their topics and domains, and provide lists of used methods and proposed approaches. Conclusions: Currently, there is little research coverage on the different aspects of sustainability in software engineering. Future work includes extending the study by reviewing a higher number of publications, including dedicated journal and workshop searches, and snowballing

Mini-Guideline to Requirements Engineering
No full textRequirements engineering (RE) stands at the beginning of any (software) development project. It captures and models the domain as well as the needs of the stakeholders and systematically derives the requirements and constraints until the information is concrete enough to design a system that suits the needs. Thus, RE provides a thorough understanding of the future system and its environment. RE helps to find out what your customer wants and actually needs, and provides the foundation for designing the system that suits these requirements.
This guideline lends a hand in getting started with performing requirements engineering in a software development project. It explains how to proceed with RE, what information to capture, and how to document the results. The approach is based on a domain-independent content model for artefact-oriented requirements engineering
