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
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
Contradições portenhas: modernidade, modernismo e modernização em Jorge Luis Borges durante os anos de 1920
Get PDFEste artigo visa discutir os conceitos de modernidade, modernismo e modernização a partir das proposições levantadas por Marshal Berman e Néstor García Canclini. O foco da análise será a cidade de Buenos Aires que durante os anos de 1920 experimentou uma acirrada transformação em seu espaço físico. Para tal, iremos utilizar a obra do poeta argentino Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986) a fim de compreender o desenvolvimento desses processos no espaço urbano portenho
Ángel Rama e o papel do intelectual na formação da cultura
No full textThis article discusses how Ángel Rama, from the 1970s to the 1980s, changed his understanding of the role and mission of intellectuals in Latin America. This change reveals the contrasts between the claims that the intellectual is primarily responsible for the regeneration and revitalization of the cultural space of society and the articulation of knowledge with power to strengthen and reproduce forms of domination. Discussing these issues and placing in dialogue the ouvres Writing across cultures: narrative transculturation in Latin America and The Lettered city is analyzed how the intellectual's performance goes from positive to negative. To situate this movement, are consider both external elements, such as exile and intellectual experiences, as well as internal elements, references and dialogues that Rama mobilizes in his texts.Neste artigo é abordado como Ángel Rama, na passagem da década de 1970 para a de 1980, mudou seu entendimento sobre papel e a missão dos intelectuais na América Latina. Essa mudança revela os contrastes entre as afirmações de que o intelectual seria o principal responsável pela regeneração e revitalização do tecido cultural da sociedade e as de que ele articula o saber ao poder para fortalecer e reproduzir as formas de dominação. Discutindo essas questões e colocando em diálogo as obras Transculturación narrativa en América Latina e La ciudad letrada, é feita uma análise sobre como a atuação do intelectual passa do polo positivo ao negativo. Para situar esse movimento, considera-se tanto elementos externos, como o exílio e as experiências intelectuais, quanto elementos internos, referências e diálogos que Rama mobiliza em seus textos
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
O mal-estar no Chile: : presença e herança da Constituição de 1980
No full textThis work proposes an analysis of the Political Constitution of the Republic of Chile of 1980 in the light of the present, especially after the rejection of the new Constitution of 2022. After the protests of October 18, 2019 and the convening of the Constituent Assembly, the question about the influence of authoritarian presence and heritage in Chile. The validity of neoliberal ideology, after the coup d'état in 1973, contributed to the construction of Pinochet's protected democracy and the subsidiary state imagined by the Chicago Boys, allowing the remodeling of Chilean society through concepts such as individualism and freedom. economic. Thus, this essay presents the paradox of Chile being a democratic society that resorts to authoritarian solutions to deal with the resolution of social conflicts.Neste trabalho propõe-se uma análise da Constituição Política da República do Chile de 1980 à luz do presente, especialmente após o rechaço da nova Constituição de 2022. Após os protestos de 18 de outubro de 2019 e a convocação da Assembleia Constituinte, surge a questão sobre a influência a presença e a herança autoritária no Chile. A vigência da ideologia neoliberal, após o golpe de Estado em 1973, contribuiu para a construção da democracia protegida de Pinochet e do Estado subsidiário imaginado pelos Chicago Boys, permitindo a remodelação da sociedade chilena por meio de conceitos como o de individualismo e o de liberdade econômica.
