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

<div>
Does the introduction explain the objective of the research presented in the preprint?
Yes
The abstract and introduction were written clearly and concisely. In particular, the abstract provided a plain-language summary of the main findings from the survey.
</div>
<div>
Are the methods well-suited for this research?
Somewhat appropriate
While the authors report that there were 230 responses to the survey, it is unclear what the underlying population was making it difficult to assess a response rate. This is known challenge of using snowball sampling (trading off a greater number of responses with an uncertain baseline). The authors should disclose the completion rates for survey completion as well - it's likely that, with only 19 questions, that drop-out rates were very low and completion was high.
</div>
<div>
Are the conclusions supported by the data?
Highly supported
As the results rely solely on descriptive analysis and the authors clearly describe the sample frame limitations on generalizability, these results make complete sense even to a reader with low familiarity with the topic.
</div>
<div>
Are the data presentations, including visualizations, well-suited to represent the data?
Somewhat appropriate and clear
While I am a fan of pie charts for simple descriptions - they are very difficult for human readers to make comparative contrasts using their interocular percussion (i.e., by looking at it). Figure 1, adds a bit of complication to this as a helioplot/radiograph where not all information is properly labeled. Additional presentation of this information in a table would be useful.
</div>
<div>
How clearly do the authors discuss, explain, and interpret their findings and potential next steps for
the research?
Somewhat clearly
The summary and interpretation of results is spot on from the data presented. However, the authors could do more to explain both the "so what" of the results and the "what's next" based on both their findings and any natural outgrowths of those findings. From a research perspective, what gaps remain that need to be filled? Should there be a more comprehensive study with a more generalizable sample? From a policy perspective, how should the open science advocates and policymakers proceed with translating these findings into practice, policy, or otherwise shape their perspective? From a researcher perspective, how should researchers seek credit for practicing open and FAIR data management?
</div>
<div>
Is the preprint likely to advance academic knowledge?
Somewhat likely
</div>
<div>
Would it benefit from language editing?
Yes
There are citation formatting issues - many of the in-line citations are linked to Zotero rather than being linked to the in-document list of references, making look-up cumbersome for the reader. Rather than linking to Zotero, which readers may not have access to, the citations should either link to the DOIs of the underlying references or to the bibliography in the paper. Other in-line citations that are referenced more than once lack accessible hyperlinks altogether (i.e., see citation 11 Hahn et al. on page 13 goes no where as an example). This is an accessibility issue that should be addressed in the next revision.
</div>
<div>
Would you recommend this preprint to others?
Yes, it's of high quality
</div>
<div>
Is it ready for attention from an editor, publisher or broader audience?
Yes, after minor changes

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
Social Time: Variations in Social Interaction Across the Life Course
No full textOlder and younger people have long been known to have very different social lives. Past research on support and close confidant networks has shown that old age is associated with less and more kin-focused social interaction. Yet, we know remarkably little about the ways in which older versus younger people access their personal networks during the comings-and-goings of daily living. Psychosocial theories, which emphasize preference and personality differences between the young and old, have richly informed explanations of why aging is associated with changes in various network characteristics. However, social structural theories, which emphasize how the availability of other people to interact with varies with the life course, has garnered much less attention as explanations of network differences between the young and old. This dissertation advances the state of knowledge on this topic by examining how people spend their time, who they spend their time with, and the extent to which age differences in time use are explained by life course and social structural factors. To address my research questions, I leverage interpersonal data on who is present during the performance of daily activities from a large sample of U.S. population using the American Time Use Survey. I find that life course and social structural variables account for a large part of the relationship between age and time spent with others. Depending on the relation, the social structure accounts for between 14% and 65% of the variance in social time. I find that elderly people tend to interact with others during leisure activities that are sui generis social while younger adults spend their leisure time with others on all types of leisure. Furthermore, poor health tends to suppress the effects of age on time spent doing certain activities (like social leisure) and tends to augment the effects of age on other activities (like traveling alone). These results strongly suggest that the social structure plays an important role in shaping social interaction across the life course
Yet Another Statistical Analysis of Bob Ross Paintings
No full textIn this paper, we analyze a sample of clippings from paintings by the late
artist Bob Ross.
Previous work focused on the qualitative themes of his paintings (Hickey,
2014); here, we expand on that line of research by considering the
colorspace and luminosity values as our data. Our results demonstrate the
subtle aesthetics of the average Ross painting, the common variation shared
by his paintings, and the structure of the relationships between each
painting in our sample. We reveal, for the first time, renderings of the
average paintings and introduce “eigenross” components to identify and
evaluate shared variance. Additionally, all data and code are embedded in
this document to encourage future research, and, in the spirit of Bob Ross,
to teach others how to do so
