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
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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
«L'Année Psychologique» dans la correspondance de Jean Larguier des Bancels
No full textSummary: «L'Année Psychologique in Jean Larguier des Bancels' collection.
The correspondence which is conserved in the Larguier des Bancels' collection at the University of Lausanne shows a little known side of Binet's character : we see him running single-handedly the Année Psychologique, negotiating contracts with successive publishers, recruting collaborators — some of them were to become close friends — bringing all his influence to bear on the editorial orientations of his review even if that meant the occasional compromise with the publisher.
The loyal admiration which he inspired in a small circle of collaborators such as Simon and Larguier des Bancels lead them, after his death, to complete and carry out the volume he had been preparing, and to refuse to join the new team formed under Pieron, after 1912.

Débats autour de la psychologie animale
No full textAu début du xxe siècle, les débats autour du statut de la psychologie animale voient surgir le nom de Pierre Hachet-Souplet. Connu des naturalistes et du public pour ses connaissances en dressage, ses travaux seront régulièrement signalés par les psychologues et, notamment, par Édouard Claparède. Pourtant, bien qu’il crût un temps pouvoir fonder un Institut de psychologie zoologique, Pierre Hachet-Souplet fut finalement évincé par la communauté scientifique. Retraçant le parcours complexe de cet amateur éclairé, cet article illustre la difficulté, dans un contexte de définition des frontières disciplinaires, de construire une psychologie de l’animal au côté de celle de l’homme.At the beginning of the 20th century, the name of Pierre Hachet-Souplet was commonly cited in France by those who debated the creation of a new discipline: the “animal psychology”. Hachet-Souplet was already known by naturalists and by the lay audience for his work on techniques of dressage, and now his studies were also quoted by distinguished psychologists such as Édouard Claparède. However, although Hachet-Souplet was once even promised the creation of a dedicated laboratory (an Institute for the study of zoological psychology), he was finally cast off by the scientific community. Through the complex story of this enlightened amateur, this article thus sheds light on the difficulties of creating a viable and cogent model for an animal psychology in a context of shifting disciplinary boundaries
