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
Máscaras de la lectura: Jorge Luis Borges en la obra de Mario Luzi / The masks of reading: Jeorge Luis Borges in Mario Luzi’s work
No full textLos caminos que separan a los escritores muchas veces concluyen en una paradójica, feliz proximidad. En las nominaciones al Premio Nobel de literatura de 1979 confluyeron, como en una auténtica constelación literaria, los italianos Italo Calvino, Alberto Moravia, Giorgio Bassani, Vittorio Sereni, Leonardo Sciascia y Mario Luzi, junto con el argentino Jorge Luis Borges. La enumeración refleja la riqueza y variedad de la literatura italiana de ese momento. Pero, más allá de los narradores, la coincidencia de Luzi y Borges (y podríamos agregar, la de Odisseas Elytis, a quien finalmente se le concedió el premio) constituye una singular convergencia de poetas, con poéticas muy diferentes, pero con intensos vasos comunicantes que los unen, muchas veces de manera invisible y contradictoria. Si bien Borges nunca escribió sobre Luzi, el italiano, en cambio, lo hizo, y con cierta frecuencia, sobre el argentino, no sólo desde sus páginas de crítica literaria en «Il Corriere della Sera», espacio que ocupó hasta 1974 comentando literatura latinoamericana (posee escritos sobre Roberto Arlt, Vargas Llosa y Juan Rulfo, entre otros escritores), sino en diferentes entrevistas, en donde se observa claramente las frecuentes citas que Luzi hace de Borges, citas que muchas veces se instalan en un espacio de discusión y de profundas diferencias no sólo sobre la naturaleza de la poesía, sino sobre su mismo vínculo con el mundo y con la vida. Nos proponemos estudiar estas reflexiones que Mario Luzi realiza desde (y en no pocas ocasiones, en contra) el autor argentino, a partir precisamente de la obra crítica del poeta florentino, en el centenario de su nacimiento.
The roads that separate writers often end with a paradox, happy proximity. The nominations for the Nobel Prize for literature in 1979 came together, as in a real literary constellation, Italo Calvino, Alberto Moravia, Giorgio Bassani, Vittorio Sereni, Leonardo Sciascia and Mario Luzi, along with the argentine Jorge Luis Borges. The list reflects the richness and variety of Italian literature of the time. But beyond the storytellers, the coincidence of Luzi and Borges (and we might add, that of Odisseas Elytis, who was finally awarded the prize) is a unique convergence of poets, with very different poetics, but with intense communicating vessels that unite them, often invisible and contradictory manner. While Borges never wrote about Luzi, the italian, however, did, and quite often, on the argentine, not only from the pages of literary criticism in «Il Corriere della Sera», space occupied until 1974 commenting Latin American literature (he has written about Roberto Arlt, Vargas Llosa and Juan Rulfo, among other writers), but in different interviews, where the frequent quotations that Luzi makes about Borges often installed a space for discussion and profound differences not only on the nature of poetry, but on the same link with the world and life. We propose to study these reflections that Mario Luzi made from (and on many occasions, against) about the Argentine author, from the critical work of the Florentine poet, on the centenary of his birth
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
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
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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe 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
La Historia y sus dobles: identidad y contrafactura histórica en la novela The plot against America, de Philip Roth
Get PDFLa novela The plot agains America, de Philip Roth (2005) es una ucronía que, a través de la modificación de un acontecimiento puntual de la historia norteamericana (la no reelección para su tercer mandato del presidente Franklin Delano Roosevelt, y la hipotética consagración del republicano, aviador y aislacionista Charles Lindbergh en su lugar), proyecta la experiencia histórica de la persecución y de la supervivencia de la identidad de las minorías en un nada imposible escenario histórico totalitario en EE.UU. La estructura "as if" propia del género de la ucronía (término construido a partir del griego ou-cronos, "no tiempo", un tiempo "otro"), permite la convivencia del presente vinculado con el tiempo de la enunciación de la novela con "otro presente" paradójico, propio del tiempo de la enunciación, en donde el receptor de la novela se encuentra con una historia en donde han cambiado los personajes, los lugares y las fechas, pero los conflictos han permanecido esencialmente idénticos. Esta "historia contrafáctica" se complementa con el desarrollo de una "autobiografía ficcional" del propio autor, que se incluye en la novela junto con su constelación familiar, como "narrador homodiegético" o testigo de los acontecimientos que desarrollan en la ficción los grandes personajes históricos (Roosevelt, Lindbergh, von Ribbentrop, La Guardia, Ford). Metodológicamente, el análisis de esta novela implica su concepción como objeto de estudio complejo, interdisciplinario, al converger en él disciplinas como la literatura, la semiótica, la historia y la política
Tres Apocalipsis bizarros: metamorfosis del zombi en la literatura argentina
Get PDFEl muerto viviente constituye un patético símbolo de dos diferentes etapas del Capitalismo, en particular, y de la Modernidad en sí, en general. En un territorio remoto, lejano de las plantaciones de Haití y de los estudios de Hollywood, en Argentina, la metamorfosis del zombi ha encontrado su propia lógica en los últimos años, no ajena a este doble nacimiento que, en sí, implica también numerosas transformaciones En las novelas Berazachussetts (2007), de Leandro Ávalos Blacha, Ultra Tumba (2020), de Leonardo Oyola, y El viento de la pampa los vio (2021), de Juan Ignacio Pisano, encontramos tres versiones del muerto-vivo que constituyen tres metáforas, diferentes pero convergentes, de una crisis sin fin que atraviesa no solo una nación, sino también una cultura. Nuestro trabajo plantea un estudio comparado de estas tres obras, en perspectiva de la propia evolución de esta criatura-personaje
