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

Literality
No full textTheory thrives on divisions: the transcendental and the empirical, fiction and reality, the performative and the constative – to name a few. These divisions enable a theoretical architecture that may be variously and endlessly deconstructed, renovated, emended, and expanded. But all of these operations begin with division, and in doing so they leave unthought what ‘it’ is that they are dividing. This event proposed literality as a way of naming this ‘it’, or as a way of unnaming the divisions according to which ‘it’ is divided. To refuse such division is to insist on the identity between reality and language, and between philosophy and literature. Literality refuses the theoretical choice between the limitation of language and the renewal of realism, between metaphorical erasure and referential location. It refuses them by interrupting – literally – their work, by insisting on itself. Programme 19:30. Manifesto by Daniel C. Barber and Alice Gavin The Literality Manifesto; or, Keep it Real 20:00. Talk by Tom McCarthy Get Real; or, What Jellyfish Have to Tell Us about Literature 20:50. Cypher with Tom McCarthy, Daniel C. Barber, and Alice Gavin
Tom McCarthy is a writer and artist whose work has been translated into more than twenty languages. His first novel, Remainder, which deals with questions of trauma and repetition, won the 2008 Believer Book Award and is currently being adapted for cinema. His third, C, which explores the relationship between melancholia and technological media, was a finalist in the 2010 Booker Prize. McCarthy is also author of the non-fiction book Tintin and the Secret of Literature and the novel Men in Space, as well as numerous essays that have appeared in publications such as The New York Times, The London Review of Books, Harper’s, and Artforum. In addition, he is founder and General Secretary of the International Necronautical Society (INS), a semi-fictitious avant-garde network of writers, philosophers, and artists. In 2013 he was awarded the inaugural Windham-Campbell Prize for Fiction by Yale University. Daniel Colucciello Barber is a fellow at the ICI Berlin. He is the author of Deleuze and the Naming of God: Post-Secularism and the Future of Immanence (2014) and On Diaspora: Christianity, Religion, and Secularity (2011), as well as contributing co-author of Dark Nights of the Universe (2013). His work, which has appeared in various journals and volumes, is presently focused on the idea of conversion. Alice Gavin is a fellow at the ICI Berlin. Her work has been published in Textual Practice and Critical Quarterly, while Our Tale Was True, Our Tale Was A Lie, co-authored with Nahal Naficy, is forthcoming in the Dead Letter Office imprint of Punctum Books. Her first monograph (also forthcoming) concerns early twentieth-century literature and silent film
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
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
