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
Collective place branding - an alternative strategy for territorial development compared to geographical indications?
No full textGeographical Indications (GIs) protecting the origin of specific food products are expanding worldwide and promoted as first order tool for agricultural and local development in developing countries. At the same time, collective place brands are adopted by public and private sectors in Europe as novel strategy to jointly valorise and promote a package of place-specific (food) products and (tourism) services, which supports a distinctive territorial identity or a territorial project.We here present two cases of collective place branding from France and Morocco, with the objective to compare them with GIs and to uncover their potential to contribute to sustainable territorial development.Results indicate that collective place brands can be used as alternative (or complementary) strategy for supporting agricultural and territorial development. Contrary to GIs, these brands represent an integrated approach to territorial development, involve various local actors, are more flexible in use and less subjected to legal and administrative rules. They can create synergy effects and increase the overall visibility of places and their endogenous assets. On the other hand, collective place brands need leadership and cooperation in order to be successful. Moreover, collective place brands require a long-term commitment from the public and private sector for inducing novel forms of territorial governance.

Territorial marketing as strategic tool for development of agrifood chains: The case of Sud-de-France and Morocco
No full textCe rapport est disponible dans : Série Cahier de Recherche - UMR MOISA, 9The here proposed applied interdisciplinary project researches and develops a strategic marketing concept for value-added territorial products. It focuses on innovation strategies for competitive agrifood SMEs leading to rural sustainable development and exchanges best networking practices between regions in Morocco and Europe. This approach fits very well with the ambition stated in the AgTraIn PhD program (www.agtrain.eu), namely ‘contributing to the development of the agricultural sector to achieve equitable and pro-poor economic growth and increase food security....’.The latter does not only refer to food availability, but also to arranging access to nutritious and healthy food, wherefore new forms of governance become important
