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

Legal framework of prostitution
No full textEn France, l’activité de prostitution n’obéit pas à un régime juridique spécifique. Soumises au régime politique de l’abolitionnisme dicté par la Convention dite de New York du 2 décembre 1949, les personnes qui se prostituent obéissent au droit commun qui restreint cette pratique. Cette limitation s’articule autour du principe de dignité humaine. Appliqué à la prostitution, celui-ci tend à assurer une prise en charge sociale, une protection spécifique complétée par un volet répressif. Depuis l’entrée en vigueur de la loi du 13 avril 2016, cette répression s’applique aussi bien aux proxénètes qu’aux clients des personnes prostituées.En théorie, ce traitement juridique doit permettre la sortie des personnes de cette activité entraînant ainsi la diminution, voire la disparition, de la prostitution. Pourtant, la pratique suggère la fragilité d’un droit construit selon une idéologie sans prise en compte des réalités de la prostitution révélées par la sociologie. Privées d’une part de leur dignité, les personnes prostituées ne parviennent que difficilement à accéder à leurs droits, même les plus fondamentaux. Quant à celles qui souhaitent poursuivre l’activité, elles le font en dehors de tout cadre légal.En allant au-delà des exigences du régime abolitionniste d’origine, le droit français ignore davantage le consentement des personnes qui souhaitent exercer cette activité et s’éloigne de l’impératif de répression de l’exploitation de la prostitution. Au regard de l’évolution des pratiques de la prostitution, un cadre juridique, hors de l’hygiénisme du régime réglementariste, doit être envisagé. C’est l’objet de la présente étude.In France prostitution does not fall into a specific legal framework. Subject to the political abolitionist regime of the New York Convention of December 2, 1949, people who prostitute themselves are bound by this ordinary law which restricts their practice. This limitation revolves around the principle of human dignity. Applied to prostitution, this tends to ensure social support, and specific protection supplemented by a repressive component. Since the enforcement of the act of April 13, 2016, this repression has applied to both pimps and clients of prostitutes.In theory, this legal treatment should enable people to get out of prostitution as well as its reduction, or even its disappearance. However, practice emphasizes the weaknesses of a law built according to an ideology which did not take into account the realities of prostitution revealed by sociology. Deprived of a part of their dignity, prostitutes find it difficult to access their rights, even the most fundamentals. As for those who wish to keep on, they do it outside of any legal framework.Going beyond the requirements of the abolitionist regime French law ignores further the consent of those who wish to engage in such activity and moves away from the imperative of repression of prostitution exploitation. In view of the evolution of prostitution practices a legal framework, outside the hygienic nature of the regulatory regime, must be considered. This is the subject of this study
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
