Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
No full text“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
No full textWe 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
No full textWe 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
América en el pensamiento de don Miguel de Unamuno: El binomio Bolívar-Unamuno
No full textThe multifaceted Unamuno had a great interest in the issues of Spanish America. He became a master of many authors of that part of the world, wrote in the outstanding papers and magazines of that time and, due to his “epistolomania”, he had important relationship with people of that area who looked for his advice. That is why someone has said that “it is impossible to understand Unamuno without Spanish America”. So, the aim of this article is to try to identify this special side of Unamuno, particularly for his commitment to Bolivar.El polifacético Unamuno tuvo una dimensión importantísima de su vida intelectual, y ésta fue América. Se convirtió en maestro de mu- chos autores hispanoamericanos, además de ser habitual correspon- sal de los periódicos y revistas de esa parte del mundo; al cartearse con la mayoría de sus coetáneos y con un sinfín de autores (epistolomanía) que buscaban su consejo. Pero además supo extender su quijotismo, con una dedicación especial a Bolívar: el gran majadero, a quien considera de la estirpe de Don Quijote

Unamuno, ¿filósofo?
No full textEs licenciado en derecho y profesor-tutor de la UNED-Lanzarote. Tiene un máster en filosofía con especialización en Miguel de Unamuno. En este momento estudia el doctorado. Ha publicado varios libros sobre defensa personal, de la que es maestro.Don Miguel de Unamuno, sin la menor duda, es el más importante representante de la llamada Generación del 98. Fue un personaje genuinamente heterodoxo, difícilmente clasificable y resueltamente indomable, a la par que ligeramente insociable y pedante. Poseía una cultura vastísima y dominaba todos los géneros literarios, desde la poesía, el drama, el ensayo, hasta la novela. Era, además, filósofo; eso sí, sin escuela. Hasta su forma de filosofar era diferente. Su preocupación principal era la vida, a la cual consideraba trágica; además —y quizás por eso—, su finitud le sacaba de casillas: él quería ser inmortal, por lo que no era extraño que se cuestionara la religión. Todas sus preocupaciones las exponía en sus nivolas: la existencia humana, el hombre concreto, y la problemática religiosa. De ahí que me pregunte si era filósofo existencial o filósofo religioso.Mr. Miguel de Unamuno is without doubt the most important representative of the so called Generation of 98. He was a genuine unorthodox person, difficult to classify and rebellious but at the same time antisocial and pedantic. Vastly cultured he dominated every literary genres from poetry to drama, essays and novels, even philosophy, all without schooling. Even his way of philosophizing was different. His main concern was life, conceiving it as a tragedy and furthermore, or perhaps because of this, his downfall. What pushed him to his limits was he wanted to be inmortal, so it wasn’t strange for him to question religion. He expounded all of his worries in his nivolas (derived from the Spanish word “novela”, to distinguish his work from the supposedly fixed form of a novel). His concerns were human existence, mankind specifically, and the prolem of religion. From this point of view we can now query whether his philosophy was existential or religious
