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
Maîtriser l’attelage de l’âme : l’allégorie du char dans le Phèdre et la Kaṭha Upaniṣad
Full text linkLes dialogues de Platon et la Kaṭha Upaniṣad offrent chacun une réflexion approfondie sur la nature de l’âme, la connaissance et le chemin vers la vérité ultime. Le Phèdre et la Kaṭha Upaniṣad recourent à l’image du char pour représenter le rapport de l’âme à la connaissance et à la maîtrise de soi. Dans le Phèdre, le char ailé symbolise l’âme tripartite : le cocher incarne la raison (nous ou logistikon), tandis que les deux chevaux représentant respectivement l’ardeur morale (thumoeidès) et le désir passionnel (epithumetikon). Bien que la Kaṭha Upaniṣad utilise également l’image du char pour décrire la condition humaine, elle établit des correspondances différentes : le char représente le corps, les chevaux symbolisent les sens, les rênes figurent la pensée, et le cocher incarne l’intellect. Pourtant, bien que ces deux œuvres émergent de contextes culturels et philosophiques distincts, elles convergent sur plusieurs points, notamment sur la question de l’immortalité de l’âme et la quête de la libération spirituelle. Ce mémoire propose ainsi une analyse comparative du Phèdre et de la Kaṭha Upaniṣad, en mettant en évidence leurs convergences et divergences, tout en explorant les possibles sources d’un tel rapprochement idéologique et métaphorique entre Platon et la tradition védique. Il s’agira d’abord d’examiner les grands thèmes abordés dans ces textes, tels que la libération du monde sensible, la réincarnation et la justification de la « bonne vie ». Ensuite, l’étude portera sur leurs allégories du char et sur la manière dont chacun de ces textes compare l’homme à un attelage. Bien que de nombreux points communs soient mis en lumière, nous verrons en quoi Platon et la tradition védique divergent quant à leur conception de la nature humaine, et comment la pratique de la philosophie et celle du yoga envisagent différemment le lien entre l’accès à la connaissance et notre rapport au monde sensible.Plato’s dialogues and the Kaṭha Upaniṣad each offer a profound reflection on the nature of the soul, knowledge, and the path to ultimate truth. Both the Phaedrus and the Kaṭha Upaniṣad employ the image of the chariot to illustrate the soul’s relationship to knowledge and self-mastery. In the Phaedrus, the winged chariot symbolizes the tripartite soul: the charioteer embodies reason (nous or logistikon), while the two horses represent moral ardor (thumoeidès) and passionate desire (epithumetikon), respectively. Although the Kaṭha Upaniṣad also uses the chariot metaphor to describe the human condition, it establishes different correspondences: the chariot represents the body, the horses symbolize the senses, the reins stand for thought, and the charioteer embodies the intellect. Despite emerging from distinct cultural and philosophical contexts, these two works converge on several key points, particularly regarding the immortality of the soul and the quest for spiritual liberation. This thesis thus offers a comparative analysis of the Phaedrus and the Kaṭha Upaniṣad, highlighting their similarities and differences while also exploring the possible sources of such an ideological and metaphorical parallel between Plato and the Vedic tradition. The study will first examine the major themes addressed in these texts, such as the liberation from the sensory world, reincarnation, and the justification of the “good life”. It will then focus on their respective chariot allegories and how each text compares the human being to a chariot. While many commonalities will be highlighted, we will also explore how Plato and the Vedic tradition differ in their conceptions of human nature and how the practice of philosophy and that of yoga offer distinct perspectives on the relationship between access to knowledge and our interactions with the sensory world
L'enfant dans le projet pédagogique de Platon
Full text linkCette étude souhaite interroger la théorie de l’âme de Platon par l’intermédiaire de sa conception de l’enfant et de l’enfance. Pour ce philosophe, l’humain est un être dichotomique composé d’un corps et d’une âme qui n’appartiennent pas à un même domaine. D’un côté, le corps est une entité qui se régule à partir des règles du lieu sensible, qui sont temporelles, corporelles et imparfaites. De l’autre, l’âme souscrit aux lois de l’intelligible, qui sont éternelles, abstraites et parfaites. Toutefois, cette dernière est confrontée aux obstacles et imperfections du monde sensible, lorsqu’elle se fait prisonnière d’un corps. Elle doit tenter au mieux de ses capacités de retrouver le lieu parfait auquel elle appartenait autrefois, notamment par l’exercice de la philosophie, parce que celle-ci rappelle à l’âme ce qu’elle était et par le fait même ce qu’elle doit être. Pour Platon, l’enfant souffre d’une carence philosophique qui complique le retour de l’âme vers la perfection. Ce dernier est complètement dominé par son corps et les effets qu’il lui cause. Dès lors, il devient un synonyme d’imperfection. L’enfance comme premier stade de la vie humaine sera la première difficulté que l’âme doit surmonter pour retrouver sa véritable nature. Cette recherche aimerait montrer que l’enfant est un sujet central du système platonicien, puisqu’il devient l’enjeu fondamental d’une philosophie dont le but est l’atteinte d’une vie meilleure voire parfaite pour soi-même et les autres.This study wants to question Plato’s theory of soul through his conception of child and childhood. For this philosopher, human is a mixture of body and soul, which do not belong to the same domain. On the one hand, the body functions following the rules of the sensible world, which are temporal, corporeal and imperfect. On the other, the soul responds to the laws of the intelligible world which are eternal, transcendant and perfect. But the soul is confronted to the obstacles and the imperfections of the sensible world when it becomes the prisoner of a body. A human must try as best as he can to retrieve the perfection that his soul once possessed, especially through the practice of philosophy, which reminds him of what he was and therefore what he has to be. For Plato, the child suffers from a philosophical deficiency that complicates the return of the soul to perfection. He is completely dominated by his body and what his body provokes within his soul. Thus the child becomes a synonym of imperfection. As the first period of human life, childhood is the first obstacle that the soul must overcome to retrieve its true nature. This research would like to show that the child is a central subject of the Platonic system, because he becomes the fundamental stake of a philosophy whose goal is to achieve a better life for humans
