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
De « call-girls » aux vendeuses, associées, administratrices. Les femmes au sein d'une coopérative des consommateurs en Italie (1945-2000).
No full textCet essai porte sur la présence féminine dans la coopérative Unicoop Tirreno de 1945 à nos jours. Le point de départ de mon analyse a été cette question : combien la présence féminine a été importante pour réaliser un certain type de développement de Unicoop, et vice-versa combien Unicoop a contribué à réaliser des trajectoires sociales différentes et à favoriser des procès d'autonomie et d'émancipation féminine dans la quotidienneté et à l'intérieur de l'entreprise coopérative ? Pour répondre à cette question, au-delà à l'analyse de la présence des femmes dans le corps social et dans les organismes dirigeants de la coopérative à travers les documents des archives d’Unicoop Tirreno, j'ai cherché d'analyser quelques aspects moins structuraux, concrets et donc moins évidents. J’ai porté mon analyse sur les espaces sociales, sur les langages, sur les modèles culturels de la présence féminine en coopérative. Pour faire ça j'ai aussi utilisé les instruments de l'histoire orale à travers des interviews à quelques actrices de cette histoire : vendeuses, femmes dirigeantes, femmes qui gravitaient autour de la coopérative et aux associations des partis de la gauche italienne depuis 1945 à aujourd'hui. Dans un contexte local originaire de ville-usine (Piombino), la coopérative semble aux origines un univers exclusivement masculin, au moins dans l’espace publique; mais la présence des femmes grandit rapidement, tout d'abord avec le passage de la figure des “ménagères” à celle des associées (engagées et actives, qui réalisent des activités sociales importantes aussi du point de vue économique et identitaire), puis avec la grande croissance de leur présence en tant que travailleuses (en constituant rapidement la majorité de la main-d’œuvre, mais sans accéder, si non secondairement, aux rôles de la direction), et finalement comme consommatrices, vers lesquelles s’adressent les politique consuméristes de l’entreprise. Il en émerge certainement un tableau composite et complexe du rôle de la femme à l'intérieur de l’entreprise coopérative, plein d’élan émancipatoire, mais aussi de contradictions assez saisissantes. Les femmes d’Unicoop, les associées et les travailleuses, dans leurs témoignages, portent toujours avec soi un sens vif d'appartenance, qui remonte vivement aux origines solidaristes de la coopérative ; ce qui finit pour cacher, d'une façon ou d'une autre, le regard de genre. La présence féminine dans la coopérative a grandi progressivement pendant toute la période considérée, elle a de plus en plus permis aux femmes de trouver des places d'activité et d'expression importantes, mais elle a continuellement trouvé des limites consistantes, et pas du tout dépassés
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
Wuwei and ExpressionismAlfred D?blin?s Interpretation of Wu Wei (Non Action) in His Novel ?the Three Leaps of Wang-lun?
Full text link[[abstract]]In the first half of the 20th century Chinese Taoist thought enjoyed a unparalleled
popularity among German intellectuals. In this context Alfred D?blin?s novel ?The
three leaps of Wang-lun? plays a special role. D?blin was not satisfied with simplz
adapting Chinese thought and using it as a mouth piece for his own ideas, but used the
Chinese setting of the Qing dynasty to experiment with a new style of writing within
the German tradition.His creative use of Chinese thought can thus be read in two
directions. On the one hand D?blin, by making Taoist thought a focus of his narrative,
gave the Taoist idea of non action (wu wei) a new interpretation; on the other hand by
writing a ?Chinese Novel?6 in German he is able to introduce certain techniques into
writing that became features of expressionist writing in German. This paper will look
at how these two different features of the novel relate to each other to create a new
powerful expression of D?blin?s own understandingof the human condition
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
