    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Full text link
    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

    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

    Le De Officiis de Cicéron : un manuel de vertu pratique?

    Full text link
    This communication focuses on Cicero’s conception of “honestum” and on his application in his political reflexions and action. In his treatise On Duties, he attempts to discover the “honestum” of morality. Cicero, therefore, tried to use philosophy to bring about his political goals. After an attempt to define the concept of “honestum”, we will try to analyze Cicero’s political and ethical “mètis” (Epistula 381) in order to establish the morally appropriate choice in the context of the Civil War between Caesar and Pompey

    Le De Officiis et la pédagogie cicéronienne

    Full text link
    Cicéron, cherchant en partie à compenser son effacement politique, propose dans le De Officiis plusieurs principes clés qui fondent son éthique et son humanisme, soulignant en particulier que l’homme n’atteint le decorum que s’il respecte dans la conduite de sa vie la particularité de sa nature. Dans une logique de transmission pédagogique, Cicéron adapte ainsi au monde romain et aux réalités de la cité des concepts issus de la philosophie grecque, mais propose aussi un discours sur les rapports entre l’homme et la cité qu’il veut destiné à tous et universellement valable.In a troubled period of his life and of Roman political life, Cicero, seeking in part to compensate for his political failure, proposes in the De Officiis key principles that underlie his ethics and his humanism, stressing in particular that man cannot reach decorum if he doesn’t respect in the conduct of his life the peculiarity of his nature. In a logic of pedagogical transmission Cicero adapts thus to the Roman world and to the realities of the city concepts coming from the Greek philosophy, but also proposes a discourse on the relations between the man and the city that he wants destined to all and universally valid

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    Full text link
    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

    Le présent volume est un ouvrage collectif constitué de textes réunis par Grégoire Blanc, Fabrice Galtier et Rémy Poignault faisant suite au colloque qui s’est tenu les 18-20 novembre 2021 à l’Université Clermont-Auvergne et dont le but « était d’explorer la réception des Satires de Juvénal, œuvre qui suscite depuis quelques années un regain d’attention ». Dans cette même perspective, l’ambition de cette nouvelle publication est « d’ajouter à ce vaste champ d’exploration une enquête d’ampleu..

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    Full text link
    We 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
