Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
The 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
“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
We 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
Theatrum urbium italicarum by Pietro Bertelli – Bishop Hieronim Rozrażewski’s publishing undertaking during his visits to Rome
At the end of 1599, a richly illustrated book TheatrumurbiumItalicarum appeared in Venice. The author and publisher was a printer and engraver of Padua - Pietro Bertelli. According to the information provided on the front page and the dedication text, the work was donated to the bishop of Kujawy and Pomorze, Hieronim Rozrażewski (1542-1600). The following article is devoted to several key issues related to the release and influence of this publication. First, the paper focuses on the direct creators of the book: the publisher Pietro Bertelli and the identifiable creators of the various prints (Jacopo Monticolo, Francesco Bertelli). Then it presents the typology of the town depictions, their iconographic representations and direct provenance. Establishing their origins and linking them with the real influence of Bertelli's publication on the illustration material of a number of later publishing undertakings allowed for determining Theatrum's importance in the development of a modern veduta. The text also discusses the problem of the origins of the book and the Polish hierarch’s involvement in this entire undertaking.Z końcem 1599 roku w Wenecji ukazała się bogato ilustrowana książka Theatrum urbium Italicarum. Jej autorem oraz wydawcą był padewski drukarz i rytownik – Pietro Bertelli. Zgodnie z informacjami zawartymi we frontyspisie oraz tekście dedykacyjnym dzieło to ofiarowane zostało biskupowi kujawsko-pomorskiemu Hieronimowi Rozrażewskiemu (1542-1600). Niniejszy artykuł poświęcony jest kilku zasadniczym kwestiom związanym z powstaniem i oddziaływaniem tego wydawnictwa. W pierwszym rzędzie przybliżony został krąg bezpośrednich twórców książki: wydawcy Pietra Bertellego oraz dających się zidentyfikować twórców poszczególnych rycin (Jacoppo Monticolo, Francesco Bertelli). Następnie omówiona została typologia przedstawień miast, ich pierwowzory ikonograficzne i bezpośrednia proweniencja. Wskazanie tej ostatniej w powiązaniu z udowodnieniem realnego wpływu publikacji Bertellego na materiał ilustracyjny szeregu późniejszych przedsięwzięć wydawniczych, pozwolił określić znaczenie Theatrum w rozwoju nowożytnej książkowej weduty. Osobne omówienie znalazł w tekście problem okoliczności powstania książki oraz udział w całym przedsięwzięciu polskiego hierarchy
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
We 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
We 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
