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
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

Dena’ina language learning through audio-video lessons: a potential model for other endangered languages
No full textDena’ina Qenaga is an Alaskan Athabascan language with only a few dozen fluent speakers, all above the age of 65. As with other endangered languages, many challenges exist which make it difficult for learners to acquire proficiency in Dena’ina Qenaga. Most younger Dena’ina live where there are no fluent speakers. At any given time, the language is not likely to be taught in local schools or universities in traditional Dena’ina country.
With funding from portions of two federal grants, we held a series of three-day Dena’ina language institutes in Kenai and in Anchorage. Fluent elders, serious students of the language, two linguists and a linguist anthropologist met over a two year period. In group discussions, it soon became apparent that learners wanted not just a few days of instruction, but tools for learning that they could utilize at any time and in any place.
Integrating logical, possible conversations with explorations of basic forms of verb conjugations was my narrow pedagogical goal. Our broader hope has been that the conversation and context are so compelling that learners aren’t even aware that we’re covering the key portions of a verb paradigm. Central to this are skits of the talk between a parent or grandparent and a child, giving directions for getting up and performing morning activities and for getting ready for bed in the evening. Additional videos include conversations about weather and about kinship.
Fluent elders take the role of language resource experts and key speakers in the instructional videos. Advanced students (late teens to forties) help in creating the scenarios and enact some of the roles in the instructional videos.
We subsequently partnered with the Smithsonian Institution’s Arctic Studies Center in Anchorage. There, we examined 19th century Dena’ina objects and the elders told us (in English and in Dena’ina) their recollections on similar objects. Then we created simple conversations, granddaughters asking grandmothers about the objects and listening to their replies. These interviews and monologues subsequently were edited at the Arctic Studies Center, creating electronic documents which convey traditional knowledge while simultaneously providing contextualized language lessons.
Very important is the ability for Dena’ina learners living anywhere to have the ability to study and learn. We hope to create more language videos as funding becomes available. Furthermore, we hope that this approach may inspire other indigenous language communities to consider experimenting with this approach to the creation of language learning opportunities
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
