Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Sur les ailes du vautour. Genre, violence et « résistance » dans un récit nahua de voyage à Chiknâujtipan, le monde des morts (Mexique)
No full textOn the wings of the vulture : gender, violence, and « resistance » in a Nahua tale of a trip to Chiknâujtipan, the land of the dead (Mexico). This essay analyzes four versions of a contemporary Nahua Orpheus tale (Mexico), inherited from a pre-Hispanic myth and colonial exempla, to underline how the intersection of gender and economic occupation influences the message and morality given to the tale by the storytellers. The author examines how female storytellers use a number of techniques and spaces of creativity to question certain male behaviors, while promoting fundamental Nahua values. These particularities allow for recontextualizing the « traditional resistance » and social change dichotomy, in the context of indigenous Latin America
Creadores, profesionistas e intelectuales mazahuas: experiencias, proyectos y creaciones de egresadas y egresados de la Universidad Intercultural del Estado de México, y sus consecuencias
No full textEste trabajo presenta un análisis de 21 experiencias de hombres y mujeres que se asumen como mazahuas, y sus proyectos en materia de rehabilitación y reivindicación de las lenguas jñatrjo, y otros conocimientos del grupo más agua. Los y las protagonistas de las tesis fueron formadas profesional y académicamente en la Universidad Intelectual del Estado de México (UIEM), primera universidad de este tipo creada en el país ubicada en el municipio de San Felipe del Progreso, estado de México. Tomando como eje de análisis las experiencias, proyectos y creaciones (música, videos, literatura, apps, podcast, murales stickers de WhatsApp) de estos 21 jóvenes, reflexiono sobre los procesos de cambio cultural, social, político y efectivo que se viven en varios lugares ubicados al norte oeste del estado de México, luego de 20 años de la creación de la UIEM. Esta investigación fue realizada teniendo como contexto histórico la pandemia por el Covid-19, en el intervalo de los meses de junio de 2020 a enero de 2023, por esta circunstancia, se optó por asir un trabajo etnográfico íntimo, de corte experimental, compuesto por estrategias de investigación digital, conversiones personales como observación no participante, entrevista semi estructuradas, cartas biográficas, trabajo de archivo, ejercicios de foto e licitación y la participación autorreflexiva del investigador. El aporte principal de este ejercicio, es que busca descentralizar los análisis que abordan las experiencias de personas de origen indígena que estudian o estudiaron en los sistemas de educación intercultural, de la órbita de los meramente escolar y pedagógico; colocando la mirada en lo que sucede después de que las personas salen de la universidad, y cómo a partir de sus agencias, en concordancia con la tecnologías contemporáneas, están transformando, interviniendo y actualizando a la cultura mazahua y a su propias subjetividad. Así, se hace hincapié en mostrar los vínculos entre la agencia de las personas, sus posicionamientos públicos de su identidad étnica, sus creaciones, las experiencias en la UIEM y en el futuro de lo mazahua
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe 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
Comidas del Zopilote
No full textIn this article, ritual food is analyzed in the context of an annual offering to the vulture, during the “rain petition” ceremony in the Alto Balsas Nahua region, México. Using the “multispecies ethnography” perspective, the author underlines how the relations between human beings and the vulture are connected to food and empathy, and how the bird, as cleaner of the world, is involved in the complex network of relations framed by the basic Nahua concepts of working, feeding and loving. The human-vulture relationship culminates in the annual offering, which concentrates in an impressive ritual those concepts and the paper of the bird in the agricultural cycle from which Nahua people were traditionally dependent
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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
