No full textThe Chief Ministers of Britain's dependent Caribbean territories meet in Bermuda to plan a united front for their upcoming conference in Britain. Additionally, there is a mid-February meeting planned with the British Foreign Secretary Robin Cook. Anguilla's Chief Minister Hubert Hughes argues that London should devolve more power to the political representatives and deliver more economic development. However, Jamaican politician Delroy Chuck disagrees on the issue of more control. The US has criticised proposals put forward by the EU to change its rules on banana imports from developing countries. As tens of thousands of Cubans attend the first ever mass by a Pope in Cuba, Pope John Paul II calls for religious education in schools in Cuba. Ironically, the US is well-represented in Cuba during this visit as Senator Jesse Helms, co-author of the Helms Burton legislation sent a delegation. Marc Thiessen comments on why Helms put a stamp of approval on the papal visit since he is an ardent proponent of the isolation of Cuba. In Guyana, CARICOM Chairman Dr. Keith Mitchell met with the political parties and spoke to the media about exercising sensitivity and responsibility when reporting about events in Guyana.1.

No full textPolice and demonstrators have clashed in French Guiana over the arrest of independent supporters. Overnight riot police used tear gas to disperse demonstrators that camped out at Cayenne Central Police Station demanding information on a group of detainees. Next, the Amerindians of Guyana protested outside the parliament today as a bill to rename the country’s only international airport was due to have its first reading in Parliament. The bill seeks to change the name from Timehri, a word honouring Amerindians to Cheddi Jagan International in memory of the late President. In Guyana a fourth Asian timber company has been given a foothold in Guyana’s forest. A memorandum of understanding was signed today with a Malaysian company. Next, a Jamaican drug trafficking ring which flew American teenagers to Jamaica and then forced them to swallow capsules of cocaine so that they could smuggle it back to the United States has been uncovered. Also, the slaying of two teenagers in what is being described as a gang feud with political overtones in the capital city, Kingston, has sparked a call for all night vigil to address the problems of political violence in Jamaica. Next, a team of British lawyers have appealed for the intervention of British government on behalf of a Trinidad born inmate on Florida’s death row.

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
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
