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
Le prêtre sous la loupe du genre
No full textIntroductionOn aurait pu penser que, compte tenu de leur diminution en nombre et de leur moindre influence dans la société française, la figure du prêtre catholique serait progressivement devenue un objet d’étude de second rang dans les travaux universitaires sur le catholicisme contemporain français. Dans son ouvrage, Josselin Tricou met pourtant en évidence la pertinence de continuer à s’y intéresser, dans une actualité catholique française aussi tendue qu’effervescente sur les questions d..
L'impossible gai? : être prêtre catholique et homosexuel au Québec
Get PDFCette thèse explore les trajectoires de prêtres catholiques homosexuels au Québec en mobilisant le concept interactionniste de « carrière » pour analyser comment ces hommes négocient deux identités à priori inconciliables : celle de prêtre et celle d’homosexuel. Inscrite dans les champs de la sociologie du catholicisme et des sexualités, cette recherche repose sur des entretiens qualitatifs menés avec 17 prêtres, anciens prêtres et séminaristes. L’objectif central de cette recherche est d’analyser comment, dans le contexte du Québec contemporain, des prêtres catholiques homosexuels vivent leur double condition de prêtre et d’homosexuel, et construisent des cohérences dans leur parcours. La thèse s’attache à décrire les stratégies développées pour négocier leurs trajectoires identitaires dans un contexte québécois marqué par la sécularisation et la visibilité accrue des communautés gaies.
À partir du modèle séquentiel des carrières proposé par Howard Becker, la thèse identifie quatre phases de la « carrière sacerdotale homosexuelle » : l’entrée, l’apprentissage, l’aménagement du « placard ecclésial » et le maintien ou le départ du sacerdoce. Ces phases révèlent les tensions entre normes institutionnelles et stratégies individuelles, tout en soulignant la manière dont ces hommes transforment leur rapport à la prêtrise et à leur homosexualité.
Les résultats montrent que, malgré les contraintes imposées par l’Église, et les normes de visibilité associées aux identités homosexuelles, ces prêtres développent des stratégies adaptatives complexes pour gérer cette double identité. Ils recourent à des formes de dévoilement partiel, adoptent une gestion identitaire discrète, et réinterprètent leur vocation à travers leur homosexualité, et réciproquement.
En croisant la sociologie du catholicisme et celle des sexualités, tout en mobilisant les apports de la sociologie interactionniste, cette thèse propose une perspective novatrice sur les processus de construction identitaire. Ce croisement, encore peu exploré dans le contexte francophone, permet d’enrichir la compréhension des dynamiques identitaires dans des contextes institutionnels et sociaux marqués par des tensions normatives.This thesis explores the trajectories of homosexual Catholic priests in Quebec, using
the interactionist concept of "career" to analyze how these men negotiate two
identities that are, at first glance, seemingly irreconcilable: that of a priest and that
of a homosexual. Rooted in the fields of the sociology of Catholicism and sexuality,
this research is based on qualitative interviews conducted with 17 priests, former
priests, and seminarians.
The central objective of this study is to examine how, in contemporary Quebec,
homosexual Catholic priests navigate their dual condition as both priests and
homosexuals, and how they construct coherence in their life paths. The thesis
focuses on describing the strategies they develop to negotiate their identities within
a Quebec context characterized by secularization and the increased visibility of gay
communities.
Building on Howard Becker's sequential career model, the thesis identifies four
phases of the "homosexual priestly career": entry, learning, the structuring of the
"ecclesiastical closet," and either remaining in or departing from the priesthood.
These phases highlight the tensions between institutional norms and individual
strategies, while illustrating how these men reconfigure their relationship to both
priesthood and homosexuality.
The findings reveal that, despite the constraints imposed by the Church and the
norms of visibility associated with homosexual identities, these priests develop
complex adaptive strategies to manage their dual identities. They engage in partial
disclosure, adopt discreet identity management practices, and reinterpret their
vocation through the lens of their homosexuality—and vice versa. By bridging the sociology of Catholicism and sexuality, while incorporating insights
from interactionist sociology, this thesis offers an innovative perspective on identity
construction processes. This interdisciplinary approach, still underexplored in the
Francophone context, deepens our understanding of identity dynamics within
institutional and social settings marked by normative tensions
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
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
