Les ruraux sont-ils des citadins qui se cachent au fond des campagnes ou de simples consommateurs d’urbanités ?
No full textLong described as a world apart, countryside is being today much frequented by city dwellers. The importance of these visits and permanent or seasonal installations leads us to the idea of its submission to the desires of townsmen. However this aspect totally neglects the ways of life and migrations of countrymen who much more regularly make use of the urban centers. In order to appreciate this reality, the reader is invited to discover the village way of life, the diversity and regularity of rural mobility as well as the various spatial and social investments of today’s countrymen. Based on exhaustive interviews conducted in four European villages, this paper shows that country people, sharing their everyday lives between the countryside and the city, participate in equal terms with the rest of the society to the opening up and complementarity of urban and rural areas. This opening up underlies the redefinition of urban and rural relations.Longtemps décrites comme un monde à part, les campagnes sont aujourd'hui chaque jour davantage fréquentées par les urbains. L'importance de ces visites et des installations durables et saisonnières auxquelles elles donnent lieu laisse penser que le rural est un espace soumis aux désirs des citadins. Cette vision néglige totalement les modes de vie et les migrations des ruraux pourtant utilisateurs bien plus réguliers de la ville. Pour rendre compte de cette réalité, le lecteur est invité à découvrir les modes de vie, la diversité et la régularité des mobilités, et les différents investissements spatiaux et sociaux des ruraux d'aujourd'hui. À partir d'enquêtes exhaustives conduites dans quatre villages européens, il est montré que les ruraux en fréquentant quotidiennement la campagne comme la ville participent au même titre que le reste de la société à l’ouverture et à la complémentarité des espaces. Cette ouverture est à la base de la redéfinition des rapports entre rural et urbain.Sotiropoulou Eleni-hristina, Bossuet Luc.

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
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
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

Peri-rural Populations in Search of Territory
No full textIn the last 30 years increasing numbers of city dwellers have chosen to go and live in the countryside. This housing migration has led to a social redefinition of country living. It has reinforced the individualisation of life styles, this contributing to a social and spatial redistribution of rural populations. Our article aims to analyse how rural residents of all origins relate to their environment and particularly to the different places they frequent. Concentrating on the material and symbolic investments made by families residing in a village located near Toulouse, we aimed to clarify the processes of territorialisation at play and this to raise a new question of the relations between city and countryside
