    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

    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

    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

    L’origine del privilegio paolino

    The indissolubility of marriage is a distinctive trait of the Catholic doctrine on marriage, also compared to the other Christian denominations. According to the doctrine, this indissolubility is characteristic not only for the Christian marriage, but for every marriage. As a matter of fact, in some cases the Church acknowledges itself the power of dissolution of non-sacramental marriages. Traditionally, the historical and doctrinal origin of this power is traced back to the so-called « Pauline privilege ». This article deals with the study of the historical origins of the above-mentioned privilege, first through the exegetical study of 1Cor 7,15, that represents the scriptural basis of the privilege, and then analysing the history of interpretation of this passage, up to the Decretum Gratiani (xii century). For this purpose, not only canonical, but also exegetical and theological sources will be taken into consideration. L’indissolubilità matrimoniale è un tratto che distingue la dottrina cattolica relativa al matrimonio, anche rispetto ad altri fratelli nella fede cristiana. Secondo la dottrina, l’indissolubilità è propria non soltanto del matrimonio cristiano ma di ogni matrimonio. Di fatto, la Chiesa, in alcuni casi, riconosce a sé stessa il potere di sciogliere i matrimoni non sacramentali. L’origine storica e dottrinale di questo potere si pone, tradizionalmente, nel cosiddetto “privilegio paolino”. Questo articolo affronta la ricerca delle origini storiche del suddetto privilegio, prima attraverso lo studio esegetico di 1Cor 7,15, base scritturistica del privilegio, poi, analizzando la storia dell’interpretazione di questo brano, sino ad arrivare al Decreto di Graziano (xii secolo). A questo scopo, vengono prese in considerazione non soltanto le fonti canonistiche, ma anche quelle esegetiche e teologiche

    Mt. 18, 15-20 y las raíces del derecho canónico

      Abstract: The way in which the first Christian communities dealt with the phenomenon of the Canon Law can help us answering some questions. Is the Law essential to the Church? Does it belong to its Ministry? Or does it overlap the substance of the ecclesial community? We approached the text of Mt 18, 15-20 according to this point of view. We discovered the unlawful prejudices present in the current exegesis, together with a restrictive and misguided vision of the Law given by some commentaries. Our study points out that the first communities considered the Law as an intrinsic reality of the relationships within the community, that of being «brothers». This text reveals a vision of the Law according to which the Gospel is much more concerned with getting a brother back than in a certain «purity» of the community.  La forma en que las primeras comunidades cristianas se situaron frente al fenómeno del Derecho puede ayudarnos a responder a algunas preguntas: ¿Pertenece el Derecho a la esencia de la Iglesia? ¿o bien es un fenómeno superpuesto al misterio de la comunidad eclesial? Desde este punto de vista nos hemos estudiado el texto de Mt 18,15-20. Descubrimos los prejuicios antijurídicos presentes en la exégesis actual. También la visión restrictiva y equivocada que del Derecho dan algunos comentarios. De nuestro estudio se desprende que el Derecho es entendido por las primeras comunidades como una realidad intrínseca a las relaciones intracomunitarias, al ser «hermanos». El derecho que se desprende de ese texto es que el Evangelio está mucho más preocupado en recuperar al hermano que en una cierta «pureza» de la comunidad

    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

    koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist

    No full text
    We 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
