The Subject of Communication
No full textSummary: In the face of the propensity to declare the 'paradigm of the subject' outdated, because 'monological' , a re-reading of the modern history of subjectivity highlights those virtualities which, except when confused with that of the individual, contain an idea which is inseparable from intersubjectivity. In this sense, rather than trying to outdo neo-structuralist subversion of the subject, it would be preferable to recast the values of subjectivity to give full rights in philosophy to the problematics of communication.Renaut Alain, Conrad William. The Subject of Communication. In: Réseaux. The French journal of communication, volume 1, n°2, 1993. Autumn 1993. pp. 293-303
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
The invisible hand. Regulation by the courts and independent authorities in the United States
No full textSummary: A historical examination is made of how the executive, legislative and judicial branches of the US government have dealt with the overwhelmingly complicated process of regulating public utilities. It points out that the specialized entities mandated by Congress to control these industries must strike a balance between conflicting interests. These so-called independent agencies have to achieve a workable compromise between the protection of the industry and of the users under some often very vague criteria (public interest, fairness, reasonableness). The process of regulation as a whole is here seen as a bi-polar system of state intervention ensured by the independent authority (commissions) /judicial pair. This dual system is complex, constraining and all-embracing, even if it evolves towards more pragmatic approaches.Simon Jean-Paul, Conrad William. The invisible hand. Regulation by the courts and independent authorities in the United States. In: Réseaux. The French journal of communication, volume 1, n°2, 1993. Autumn 1993. pp. 261-278
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
