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
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
Clear aligners: A network and bibliometric analysis of 50 pivotal articles
No full textBackground. A bibliometric analysis uses statistical and mathematical methods to analyze the published literature, extracting meaningful information that helps to identify trends, assess research impact, and vi-sualize key data patterns through graphs and trendlines. Objectives. The aim of the study was to list the top 50 papers on clear aligners, evaluate them critically and apply a bibliometric analysis to investigate the achievements and prospects in this field of study. Material and methods. A computerized database search (Scopus) was conducted on September 24, 2023, to find articles on clear aligners published in the scientific literature between 2013 and 2023. The top 50 cited manuscripts were chosen. Author-based characteristics were obtained from the Scopus database. The dataset from ClarivateTM InCites Benchmarking & AnalyticsTM and Journal Citation Reports (JCR) was used to determine parameters based on journals and articles. To improve the visual analysis, the keywords were collected systematically from the chosen articles. Results. The database search produced a directory of the 50 most often cited articles out of 1,405 papers. Of the 50 most frequently cited works on clear aligners, 35 (70.0%) were original research studies and 15 (30.0%) were reviews. The keyword-network analysis indicated ‘removable orthodontic appliance’ as the most important and repetitive keyword. Conclusions. The results of the present bibliometric study indicated that clear aligner therapy (CAT)-related papers received increasing citations. The study determined the most influential articles by highlighting their authors and the journals in which the papers were published
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
