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

Schlußbemerkungen
Quellen- und LiteraturverzeichnisZu den Berliner Spezialisten für altamerikanische Kulturen liegen bereits
einige Publikationen vor, bei denen zumeist die Beschreibung ihres
wissenschaftlichen Werdegangs und die Würdigung ihrer Leistungen im
Vordergrund stehen. Das Wirken der Altamerikanisten Eduard Seler (1849-1922),
Walter Lehmann (1878-1939), Konrad Theodor Preuß (1869-1938) und Walter
Krickeberg (1885-1962) an verschiedenen Berliner Institutionen (Friedrich-
Wilhelms-Universität; Museum für Völkerkunde; Berliner Gesellschaft für
Anthropologie, Ethnologie und Urgeschichte; Ibero-Amerikanisches Institut),
ihre wissenschaftlichen und privaten Interaktionen, ihr Denken und Handeln in
der Weimarer Republik und während des Nationalsozialismus sowie ihre
Einflußnahme auf wissenschaftspolitische Entscheidungen wurden jedoch bislang
nur in ungenügendem Maße untersucht. Die Dissertation "Plagiatsvorwurf und
Denunziation. Untersuchungen zur Geschichte der Altamerikanistik in Berlin
(1900-1945)" versucht, diese Forschungslücke zu schließen. Den Hauptteil
dieser Dissertation bilden verschiedene Untersuchungen mit unterschiedlich
fokussierten Themen, deren historisches Geschehen in chronologischer Abfolge
rekonstruiert wird. Alle Analysen basieren primär auf historischen Quellen
(Archivalien, zeitgenössische wissenschaftliche Publikationen, insbesondere
Rezensionen, Briefe aus Nachlässen und Autographensammlungen) und erst in
zweiter Linie auf themenrelevanten Sekundärpublikationen (neuere Arbeiten zur
Wissenschaftsgeschichte der Ethnologie), die vorrangig Primärquellen
auswerten, sowie auf Nekrologen. Ausgangs- und Mittelpunkt der umfangreichsten
Untersuchungen dieser Arbeit bilden Rezensionen, die zu lang andauernden,
öffentlich ausgetragenen Kontroversen zwischen Berliner Altamerikanisten
geführt haben. Verf. versucht, signifikante Fälle für wissenschaftliche
Kontroversen, die durch Rezensionen ausgelöst wurden, herauszuarbeiten, dabei
die Vorgänge selbst sowie ihre Ursachen zu untersuchen, vor allem aber die
realiter zugrundeliegenden Intentionen der beteiligten Akteure zu ermitteln.This doctoral thesis is committed to the history of a special field of
anthropology in Berlin: studies of Ancient American cultures, and four of it�s
early and most influencing personalities, who shaped it�s face in the first
half of the last century: Eduard Seler (1849-1922), Walter Lehmann
(1878-1939), Konrad Theodor Preuß (1869-1938) and Walter Krickeberg
(1885-1962). But while relevant existing publications mostly are restricted to
describing the careers and contributions of these scholars, the author
proceeds to study their activities in various Berlin institutions like the
Friedrich-Wilhelm-University, the Museum of Anthropology, the Berlin
Association of Anthropology and Prehistory, the Ibero-American-Institute. He
thoroughly examines their interactions in the scholarly and private domains,
the way they thought and acted from the years of the Weimar Republic through
those of the Nazi Regime, and analyses how they exercised their influence upon
political decisions concerning their discipline. These aspects, albeit
mentioned in some publications, have not been objects of research before. The
thesis �Accuse of plagiarism and denunciation: Research in the history of
Ancient American Studies in Berlin (1900-1945)� is filling this gap. The
essential core of the thesis is built up from various differently angled
themes, each following a strict chronology in order to reconstruct the
historical process. Every analysis is based primarily on historical sources as
archive materials, contemporary publications the bulk of which is made up by
reviews, bequeathed letters (from literary remains; legacies) and, autograph
collections. Only second in importance do rank modern publications relevant to
the theme (newer studies on the history of anthropology) insofar as they
evaluate primary sources, and obituary notices. The core of the most extensive
studies of this type consists of reviews that in their time led to long-term
disputes fought out publicly among Berlin scholars. The author works out
significant cases of disputes between scholars that were aroused by reviews,
studies the causes and investigates the true intentions of the participants
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
