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
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
The Krasin-Savinkov meeting of 10 December 1921 (Postface de Michel Heller)
No full textDavid Robin Watson, The Krasin-Savinkov meeting of 10 December 1921.
The significance of the meeting between B.V. Savinkov and Krasin in London on 10 December 1921 described in the letter from Savinkov to Pilsudski printed in vol. XXVI ( 1 ) of the CMRS, can be further illuminated with the help of material from British government sources. It appears that the meeting was probably not due to Krasin, but to Savinkov, and through him to Winston Churchill, the British colonial secretary. It was part of Churchill's campaign to resist the attempts of the Prime Minister, Lloyd George to arrange a rapprochement with the Soviet government, on terms that Churchill thought were unnecessarily favourable to the latter. Ironically Lloyd George, after his own meeting with Savinkov drew the opposite conclusions to those Churchill intended. The British material makes it improbable that Savinkov was in any sense a Soviet agent at this moment.David Robin Watson, La rencontre Krasin-Savinkov du 10 décembre 1921.
La signification de la rencontre à Londres de B.V. Savinkov et de Krasin le 10 décembre 1921, décrite dans la lettre de Savinkov à Pilsudski (publiée dans le nfa XXVI, 1 des CMRS) peut bénéficier de l'éclairage supplémentaire que lui apportent des documents provenant de sources gouvernementales britanniques. Il ressort que cette rencontre n'était sans doute pas due à Krasin, mais à Savinkov, et par l'intermédiaire de celui-ci à Winston Churchill, secrétaire d'Etat aux Colonies. Cela faisait partie de la campagne menée par Churchill contre les tentatives du Premier Ministre Lloyd George pour arranger un rapprochement avec le gouvernement soviétique dans des termes que Churchill jugeait inutilement favorables à ce dernier. Ironiquement, Lloyd George après avoir lui-même rencontré Savinkov tira des conclusions opposées à celles que Churchill visait. Les documents britanniques rendent improbable le fait que Savinkov ait été d'une manière quelconque un agent soviétique à cette époque.Watson David Robin.

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
