Claude Corbo (dir.), Monuments intellectuels de la Nouvelle-France et du Québec ancien. Aux origines d’une tradition culturelle
Full text linkClaude Corbo, ideatore e curatore del volume, non è nuovo ad imprese di questo genere. Aveva, infatti, già pubblicato nel 2006 presso le edizioni Septentrion (Sillery) un volume collettivo intitolato Monuments intellectuels québécois du xx siècle. Come per la precedente raccolta, Corbo ha riunito un gruppo di specialisti, ciascuno dei quali ha presentato un “monumento”, cioè un testo ritenuto fondante della storia culturale del Québec, a partire dal Seicento fino alla fine del xix secolo, seg..
L'éducation pour tous : Une anthologie du Rapport Parent
No full textPeu de rapport gouvernementaux ont provoqué autant de discussions et de controverses que le Rapport Parent. Ce dernier ne visait pas moins que de restructurer de fond en comble le système d'éducation québécois. L'intérêt que suscita la Commission royale d'enquête sur l'enseignement dans la province de Québec, œuvrant entre 1961 et 1966, et la mise en place ultérieure d'une majeure partie de ses recommandations font en sorte que son rapport final, nommé d'après le président de la Commission, Mgr Alphonse-Marie Parent, constitue un des documents fondateurs de la société québécoise contemporaine. Cette anthologie révèle le travail complexe de la Commission et l'actualité de ses convictions même quarante ans après. Un choix judicieux, parmi le 1485 pages et les 576 recommandations de l'original, permet de saisir la nouvelle philosophie de l'éducation dont le souci principal était une démocratisation du système scolaire et universitaire. La Commission recommande non seulement la création de nouvelles institutions devenues depuis part entière de l'éducation québécoise, comme le ministère de l'Éducation ou le cégep, mais elle réclame aussi une uniformisation des droits d'accès à la formation et à l'éducation. Claude Corbo présente le Rapport Parent dans le contexte de l'époque. D'une façon succincte et précise, il retrace dans l'introduction l'arrière-plan du système de l'éducation avant la création de la Commission, sa mise en place ainsi que son fonctionnement et son impact. Les textes choisis, regroupés en 25 chapitres qui sont précédés chacun d'une note explicative, permettent de replonger dans les débats majeurs qui transformeront la société québécoise et dont les répercussions sont encore palpables
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
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
