    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Objetiva-se&lt;/em&gt; operar uma reflexão sobre o ato de educar em direitos humanos na pós-modernidade, considerando as demandas desse contexto de fragilização do laço social; adota-se como &lt;em&gt;método&lt;/em&gt; a análise teórica-crítica de conceitos e autores que problematizam a condição psicossocial contemporânea como da ordem do mal-estar; Contextualiza-se historicamente a noção de direitos humanos no cenário internacional e brasileiro, em especial, na perspectiva da educação em direitos humanos preconizado pela Secretaria Especial de Direitos Humanos e o Plano Nacional de Educação em Direitos Humanos; discute-se a situação do &lt;em&gt;ethos &lt;/em&gt;contemporâneo denominado de “pós-moderno”, onde destaca-se suas diversas características e sua relação com o que se denomina de fragilização do laço social que impõe ao ato educativo um mal-estar; como &lt;em&gt;resultado&lt;/em&gt;, a partir de autores e conceitos da sociologia, psicossociologia e psicanálise postula-se como existente esse mal-estar inerente no processo educativo e em especial, na ótica dos direitos humanos; discute-se ainda a necessidade de articulação de uma educação que articule espaços formais e informais, academia e sociedade civil a partir dos postulados da Conferência de Jomtien, para apontar o caso da Família contemporânea como exemplo em que Direito e Psicologia podem atuar de forma interdisciplinar; &lt;em&gt;conclui-se&lt;/em&gt;, defendendo uma articulação entre as disciplinas Psicologia, Direito e Educação a um processo educativo promotor de laço social digno, saudável e cidadão.&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</jats:p

    Variations on the Author

    “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

    We 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
