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
Travmatični ali utopični Drugi? Pogoji emancipacije: fantazija, realnost in depresija
Get PDFIf political voluntarism can be considered to be one of the crucial conditions of emancipation, enlightenment, and radical politics, what then are the conditions of political voluntarism? The author argues that neither an imaginary understanding of voluntarism nor a strictly realist take on the material foundations of politics can grasp what is here at stake. Rather, the symbolic dimension of politics and voluntarism has to be addressed in order to sketch out the potentialities as well as the limitations of the specifically modern forms of politics, which fundamentally intersect with subjectivities. Methodologically referring to a post-Lacanian understanding of the symbolic order and to a post-Kleinian conception of the relation between phantasy and reality, the essay attempts to envision the possibility of a politics of the symbolic. In keeping distinct from each other utopia and trauma, phantasy and reality, such a politics would not only resist the imaginary confusion of these categories as well as a realist determination, but it would also turn against its own idea of feasibility and control. Only by shedding its own ambitions, politics and volition alike, could it achieve its goals.Če lahko politični voluntarizem razumemo kot enega izmed ključnih pogojev emancipacije, razsvetljenstva in radikalne politike, potem se moramo vprašati, kaj so pogoji političnega voluntarizma? Avtor trdi, da niti imaginarno razumevanje voluntarizma niti strogo realistično pojmovanje materialnih temeljev politike ne moreta dojeti, kaj je tu zastavek. Če pa se hočemo spopasti tako z možnostjo kot z omejitvami specifično modernih političnih oblik in voluntarizma, ki se inherentno križajo s subjektivnostjo, se moramo, nasprotno, soočiti s problemom simbolne razsežnosti politike in voluntarizmom. V prizadevanju zarisati možnost politike simbolnega se esej metodološko opira na postlacanovsko razumevanje simbolnega reda in na postkleinovsko pojmovanje razmerja med fantazijo in realnostjo. Z razločevanjem utopije in travme, fantazije in realnosti, se takšna politika ne bi zgolj izognila imaginarnemu mešanju teh kategorij kot tudi realistični določitvi, temveč bi se tudi obrnila proti lastni predstavi o uresničevanju in nadzoru. Samo z opustitvijo lastnih ambicij, tako politike kot volje, bi lahko dosegla lastne cilje
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
