    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

    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

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    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

    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

    Roger Planchon and his theatres (1949-1987). Investigation of a stage director, administrator and author of theatre

    No full text
    Cette thèse porte sur le parcours artistique, intellectuel et institutionnel de Roger Planchon, étudié via une analyse micro-historique et critique prenant en compte les contextes tout comme les fonctions qu’il a assumées à partir du tout début des années 1950 et jusqu’à la fin des années 1980. Cette enquête monographique sur un metteur en scène, directeur d’institutions subventionnées et auteur de théâtre propose, d’abord, une reconstruction des créations réalisées par Planchon et par les troupes qu’il a dirigées. Cette analyse du répertoire du Théâtre de la Comédie, des créations du Théâtre de la Cité et du Théâtre national populaire à Villeurbanne ne peut pas être séparée des contextes concrets de production et de réception dans lesquels Planchon et ses collaborateurs ont opéré. L’exploitation de sources prioritairement archivistiques, leurs croisements et leurs confrontations avec d’autres sources mémorielles rend possible ce travail. La consultation d’une pluralité de sources rend également envisageable de prendre en compte la dimension pratique et la dimension théorique du travail de Planchon, les deux étant conditionnés par des contextes historiques et culturels en rapide évolution. Le choix d’évaluer l’action multiple d’un individu au sein des groupes qu’il a dirigés amène aussi à découvrir les réseaux avec lesquels il est entré en interaction. Cette enquête envisage, donc, de mettre en lumière la relation complexe entre un parcours singulier et des enjeux d’ordre macro-historique plus amples, sans pour autant réduire l’action des individus aux évolutions structurelles qu’ils ont vécu. Enfin, ce qui émerge avec cette enquête c’est le lien spécifique entre l’évolution de Roger Planchon et la progressive assomption d’une responsabilité auctoriale par les metteurs en scène européens du XXe siècle.This study focuses on the artistic, intellectual and institutional career of Roger Planchon, using a micro-historical and critical analysis that takes into account both the contexts and the functions he assumed from the very beginning of the 1950s until the end of the 1980s. This monographic investigation of a stage director, director of public institutions and playwright proposes, first, a reconstruction of the creations made by Planchon and by the troupes he directed. This analysis of the Repertoire of the Théâtre de la Comédie, of creations of the Théâtre de la Cité and the Théâtre National Populaire in Villeurbanne cannot be separated from the concrete contexts of production and reception in which Planchon and his collaborators operated. The accomplishment of this work was only possible due to the exploitation of archive records, their cross-referencing and confrontation with other memorial sources. The consultation of a vast diversity of sources also makes possible to consider the practical and theoretical dimensions of Planchon's work, both being affected by rapidly evolving historical and cultural contexts. The choice to investigate the multiple actions of an individual within the groups he led, also allowed us to discover the networks with which he interacted. This investigation therefore aims to identify the complex relationship between a singular trajectory and more general macro-historical issues, without reducing the action of individuals to the structural evolutions they have experienced. The research finally explores the specific link between Roger Planchon's evolution and the progressive assumption of an auctorial responsibility by twentieth-century European directors
