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

De stad als architectonische constructie: Het architectonisch discours van de stad (Duitsland 1871-1914)
No full textThe city as an architectural construction: The architectural discours on the city At the turn of the 19th to the 20th century a paradigm shift took place within German architectural thinking that can be identified as a turn to the city. Whereas throughout the 19th century architectural knowledge was primarily directed to questions of style of individual, monumental buildings, in the last quarter of that century the attention shifted towards the wider collection of buildings forming a part of a bigger unity, that is, building blocks of the city. Architectural questions were studied more and more in relation to the form of the city: its built, spatio-physical structure. It is argued in this book that, this interest shift from individual buildings to building ensembles indicates the emergence of a new architectural paradigm between 1871 and 1914 which is named here urban architecture. The development of this new architectural paradigm is traced down by analysing a large amount of city studies that appeared in the German speaking countries around 1900. This kind of studies focused on the form of the city from a strictly architectural perspective. It was through these architectural studies of the city that within a few decades an architectural discourse of the city was subsequently built up. This book focuses on the way in which the city as a built structure became an object of architectural study: the city as an architectural construction. For this purpose a genealogy of the rise and development of the German architectural discourse on the city is developed. The object of this study therefore belongs to the order of the discourse: a network of texts of architecture on the form of the city.Architectur
