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
When should an article be retracted?
No full textOn rare occasions an issue with the integrity of a scientific article is identified after publication or raised by reviewers during the review process. The integrity issue identified after the article is published is normally dealt with under an article retraction process. A retraction article is intended to ensure integrity of the published scientific literature in alerting the readership to erroneous results, duplicate publications, plagiarism, and issues of unethical research conduct.Full Tex
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
Promoting the next wave of paramedic researchers
No full textThis issue is a special student-led research issue and it is the second time the Australasian Journal of Paramedicine (AJP) has devoted an issue solely to student-led research. In 2014, the Student Paramedics Australasia (SPA) Conference was held on the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia in conjunction with the Paramedics Australasia International Conference where the AJP student issue (1) was published to coincide with the first day of the 2014 SPA conference. Like the student issue in 2014, this issue has been published to coincide with the first day of the 2015 SPA conference in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.Full Tex
The AJP – moving with the times
No full textThe Australasian Journal of Paramedicine (the AJP) has been in its current format since it was resurrected from the Journal of Emergency Primary Health Care in 2013. The aim at that time was to ensure that Paramedics Australasia – the publisher of the AJP – could publish four issues per year with four research-related articles per issue. We have achieved this, and more. Since 2013 the number of manuscripts submitted to the AJP has increased steadily. This has meant that recently, some authors are waiting months after their manuscript has been accepted before it is actually published.
With Volume 16 of the AJP commencing in 2019, the AJP editorial team (with the approval of Paramedics Australasia) made the decision to move the AJP to ‘continuous publishing’, a move that will benefit authors, readers and fellow researchers. In order to make this move, the issue numbering of the AJP has now been removed. This change will allow for manuscripts to be published within a few weeks of being accepted for publication.Full Tex
