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
Footing and positioning to conceptualise the interpersonal dynamics of an interpreter-mediated interaction
Full text linkpeer reviewedResearch objective. This contribution aims to shed light on the methodological relevance of combining the concepts of footing (Goffman 1981; Wadensjö 1998) and positioning (Davies/Harré 1990; Harré/van Langenhove 1999) to investigate the interactional dynamics of an interpreted bilingual encounter.
While the concept of footing is well known in Public Service Interpreting (PSI) research and has proven to be extremely fertile, the concept of positioning borrowed from the field of social psychology is still largely unapplied despite its descriptive power to conceptualise interpersonal dynamics (e.g. Baraldi 2018; Mason 2005, 2009; Merlini 2009).
Methodology and data. We will adapt the concept of positioning to make it functional for PSI. Then, to evaluate the relevance of the "footing-positioning" apparatus, we will apply these two analytical lenses to the same discourse data and compare the results. To determine whether the results vary according to the setting, we will analyse excerpts from mental health interpreting and excerpts from court interpreting. Analysis by footing is based on a predefined typology of six conceptual possibilities that particularly illuminates intertextual aspects (Wadensjö 1998: 87-94) and which applies equally to all interactions and settings. Analysis by position aims to dive into the hic et nunc of the interaction and implies the labelling of discursive projections as they are produced without any pre-existing typology, which makes it possible to shed light on the specificities of a given interaction and of a particular setting, especially at the interpersonal level.
Results. The analyses show that the concept of position broadens the scope of information provided by the concept of footing alone. The following is particularly highlighted:
-analysis by footing illuminates the interactional game by “zooming in” on the Original statement-Rendered statement pair. Analysis by position “zooms out” to observe the evolution of a position throughout the interaction, finely highlighting the joint negotiation of discursive projections by all the participants;
- footing sheds light on the relationship the receiver/speaker has with what is said (intertextual dimension. e.g. Animator or Author), whereas positioning can shed light on the relationship s/he has with the other interactants (interpersonal dimension. e.g. Relational Mediator or Co-Judge);
- footing does not reveal behavioural differences according to the setting, whereas positioning can. In our data, interpersonal dynamics are cooperative in mental health and instrumental in court.
The proposed conceptual apparatus can therefore help to determine whether there are interpersonal postural patterns typical of a setting, which feeds into the reflection on the role of the interpreter that may vary depending on the setting.10. Reduced inequalitie
Collaboration entre interprètes communautaires et thérapeutes dans des groupes thérapeutiques
Full text linkLa collaboration entre psychothérapeutes et interprètes communautaires comporte des spécificités intéressantes à étudier et à travailler. Qu’en est-il lorsque cette collaboration a lieu dans le cadre de groupes ? Ce séminaire est une opportunité de formation conjointe entre psychothérapeutes et interprètes communautaires qui collaborent dans ce type de dispositifs encore peu explorés.
Objectifs
• Mettre en évidence les spécificités et les défis particuliers des consultations de groupes à visée psychothérapeutique, médiées par un·e interprète communautaire.
• Identifier les objectifs et les phases de déroulement dans une TG, la place de I dans la dynamique groupale, les aspects interactionnels et organisationnels, modéliser les types de participation de I à la TG (4 hypothèses)10. Reduced inequalitie
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
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
