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
Action Research as a tool for English Language Teaching syllabus design within the context of a university in Western Mexico
No full textThis study investigates the ELT curriculum design and development process within a context, where English language is a compulsory subject across the undergraduate curriculum at University in Western Mexico. The study has adopted an four stage Action Research (AR) model proposed by Kemmis and McTaggart (1988). The research is predominantly qualitative aiming to produce a rich description of the research participants and their environment. The main data sources were interviews with the participants. They were supplemented with a survey, two language tests, diaries and documents from the research site.The findings of the study suggest that the use of AR as a tool for ELT curriculum design had a positive impact over areas such as syllabus design, teaching content and materials. The use of AR also helped to understand that the ELT syllabus design process must be underpinned by a systematic collection of data to make informed decisions, making a language course effective and efficient as a means of encouraging learning. Participants understood that AR creates knowledge based on enquiries conducted within specific and often practical contexts, and not necessarily in theoretical inputs generated by experts. Findings also showed that language teachers need to be aware of the complexities they face when deciding to conduct a process to innovate the language syllabus. To know about the experience of a group of language teachers participating in an AR cycle, reflecting about their practice, taking decisions, taking action and reflecting again about the impact of their actions over their work can encourage other language teachers from the same context or others to replicate the project and produce their own results. Data also shows the challenges that practitioners face when using AR to develop and design an ELT syllabus.The study concludes that AR can be used as a tool to improve the ELT syllabus design process conducted within a Higher Education Institution, where decision making tend to be centralised
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe 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
