    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

    Glasses from x MeO · (100-x)[ P 2 O 5 · CaO ], ( MeO = Fe 2 O 3, V 2 O 5 or ( Fe 2 O 3 · V 2 O 5)) were prepared and investigated using Raman scattering spectroscopy, over compositional range x=0–50% mol. The influence of Fe 2 O 3, V 2 O 5 or ( Fe 2 O 3· V 2 O 5) content on the structure of P 2 O 5· CaO glass matrix was followed. The addition of Fe 2 O 3, V 2 O 5 or ( Fe 2 O 3· V 2 O 5) determines the modification of the structure of the studied glasses. The Raman spectra of x Fe 2 O 3(100-x)[ P 2 O 5· CaO ] do not present any absorption bands characteristic to Fe 2 O 3 but its evolution is dependent on the iron content. The Raman spectra of x V 2 O 5·(100-x)[ P 2 O 5· CaO ] present, besides the bands specific for the matrix, some bands assigned to characteristic vibrations of V – O bonds which are evidenced only for high content of V 2 O 5. The evolution of the spectra is dependent on V 2 O 5 content. The Raman spectra of x( Fe 2 O 3· V 2 O 5)·(100-x)[ P 2 O 5· CaO ] system showed that phosphate units are the main structural units of the glass system, iron and vanadium ions are located in the network. The increasing of iron and vanadium content indicate a gradual decrease in the number of bridging oxygen ions and an increase in the number of non-bridging oxygen ions. </jats:p
