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
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

Get PDFReligious factors in the partitions of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth
Since the late eighteenth century the question of whether (and, if so, how) either religious diversity or intolerant Catholic ‘confessionalisation’ contributed to the partitions of Poland has provoked controversy. The present article seeks to link the conditions of the co-existence of Christians of different confessions in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth to their political consequences. First, the author reviews the evolving model of ‘confessionalisation’ and its application to the Commonwealth. This is followed by an analysis of the extent to which confessional conflicts and their manipulation by Russia contributed to the first partition in 1772. The longest part of the article shows that the partitions of 1793 and 1795 were most directly caused by Prussian, Austrian and, especially, Russian responses to the geopolitical, demographic and ideological challenges presented by the revived Commonwealth. Nevertheless, confessional factors did play secondary roles in the process. Catherine II, although little moved by religion herself, sometimes found it advantageous, both in domestic and in foreign affairs, to support the Orthodox Church against the Uniate Church within the Commonwealth, as well as in the territories annexed by Russia. On the other hand, the Commonwealth’s revival encompassed a coherent confessional policy. The Commonwealth’s settlements with its Protestant and Orthodox communities, reached at the Great Sejm of 1788–1792, thus only increased the threat felt in St. Petersburg. In the final section the author argues that the partitions enabled the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union to destroy Polish and Catholic competition in the annexed lands; they also led to closer links between Polish nationalism and Roman Catholicism. Ultimately, those who have ascribed the partitions either to excessive confessional diversity or to intolerant ‘confessionalisation’ have reversed the cause and the consequence
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
