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
New York et l’art moderne : Alfred Stieglitz et son cercle (1905-1930)
Get PDFDepuis longtemps, Alfred Stieglitz est considéré, même en dehors des Etats-Unis, comme un personnage majeur de l’histoire de l’art. C’est dire que l’on pouvait attendre beaucoup de ce catalogue d’exposition, première publication en français à lui être entièrement consacrée. Plusieurs contributions tout à fait intéressantes y figurent, en particulier celle de William Camfield, qui livre une mise au point sur le rôle important de Francis Picabia à New York entre 1913-1917 (avec de nombreuses hy..
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
Yves Klein
Get PDFL’exposition monographique organisée par le musée d’art moderne et contemporain de Nice semble avoir suscité la publication simultanée de nombreux ouvrages consacrés à l’un des artistes français de la deuxième moitié du vingtième siècle les plus populaires. Outre le catalogue de l’exposition lui-même, constitué d’excellentes reproductions grand format et de nombreux textes assez variés (depuis l’essai de circonstance jusqu’à la tentative d’interprétation globale, en passant par les souvenirs ..
Painting after Postmodernism
Get PDFFor a few years now, exhibitions and publications devoted exclusively to painting have been multiplying. There is something genuinely new in this polemical exclusivity, stemming no doubt from a context where pictorial activity and pictorial works are marginalized more than ever, whereas the seventies and eighties were characterized by eclectism. Today, painting is often judged “reactionary” in and on itself. In such a situation, the most common temptation is to retreat into certainties, defen..
Clement Greenberg
Get PDFIt is rare that a critic be the subject of the artistic debate for such a long time as has Clement Greenberg. The symposium held at the Georges Pompidou Centre in May 1993 (the transcriptions of which have just been assembled), demonstrated the vigour of thought developed though it was in the 1930’s. Even though this symposium coincided with the publication in the United States of numerous texts written by Greenberg between 1950 and 1970, it was not in answer to anything specifically topical ..
Olivier Debré aux États-Unis, 1959-1963 : échec d’une réception
No full textÉric de Chassey : Olivier Debré in the USA, 1959-1963 : A Failed Reception.
The history of the artistic relationships between Paris and New York in the nineteen-fifties has usually been viewed as though it were a territorial feud, biased by the power of the Americans or by the tradition of the French. This article summarizes the reasons why Olivier Debré, a French painter, distinguished by European critics for his supposed «american-ness », failed to be accepted by the American art world, after his works were introduced on the New York and Washington art markets, in 1959 and 1963. Placed in the context of the end of Abstract Expressionism and the failure of Abstract Impressionism to impose itself as a valid successor, the paintings of Debré seemed outdated. In fact, his art addressed several issues that had been resolved by the New York School ten years before and numerous formal strategies that had been discarded in the USA as trop français and old-fashioned. For the American art scene of the fifties, it was neither formalist enough, which would have placed it in the « post-painterly » trend, nor was its subject matter momentous enough. The negative reception that Debré ’s work received in the United States is significant in that it reflects an environment in which two different art scenes co-existed and, yet, were not truly contemporary — an environment that elicits further research.Chassey Eric de.

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
