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
Voces contra la desigualdad. El teatro testimonial de Emily Mann e Eve Ensler / Voices against Inequality. Emily Mann´s and Eve Ensler´s Theatre of Testimony
Get PDFResumenEn su trabajo sobre la historia del teatro documental del año 1999, Gary Fisher Dawson hablaba de tres grandes fases: el movimiento de la Nueva Objetividad en la Alemania de los años veinte, las propuestas del Federal Theatre Project en EE.UU. durante los treinta y el renacimiento del estilo con la versión de The Deputy dirigida por Piscator en los sesenta. En el cambio de siglo XX al XXI, varias dramaturgas norteamericanas han recogido el testigo de estos documentalistas, desarrollando lo que Emily Mann, inspirada por las tradiciones orales sudafricanas, ha llamado «teatro testimonial». Mann, junto con Eve Ensler, Anna Deavere Smith o Heather Raffo, cultiva una forma dramática basada en recuperar las voces silenciadas de la historia y en proporcionarles unos oídos atentos que escuchen sus experiencias y aprendan de ellas. Así, en Annulla Mann repasa los horrores de la Segunda Guerra Mundial desde un punto de vista feminista, y en Still Life coloca en el centro de un drama sobre la Guerra de Vietnam, enfrentadas a un veterano, a dos mujeres que nunca lucharon en el frente asiático, demostrando que el home front debe ser un concepto a tener en cuenta en la historiografía sobre los conflictos bélicos. Yendo un paso más allá, Eve Ensler elimina las voces masculinas de sus trabajos monologados sobre violencia, presentando historias plurales de mujeres muy distintas unidas por su condición femenina violentada. En este artículo se analiza una parte del teatro de ambas autoras desde la perspectiva de género para determinar la validez que las técnicas documentales y testimoniales pueden tener en un momento dominado por los medios de comunicación, la hiperrealidad y la (des) información.Palabras clave: teatro documental, testimonio, feminismo, género, toma de conciencia.AbstractIn his 1999 work about the history of Documentary Theatre, Gary Fisher Dawson wrote about three main phases: the New Objectivity Movement in 1920s Germany, the Federal Theatre Project in 1930s USA, and the revival of the style thanks to Piscator’s version of The Deputy in the 1960s. In the 20th-to-21st turn of the century, several North American female playwrights have become inheritors to these documentarians, developing what Emily Mann –inspired by South African oral traditions– has called «theatre of testimony». Together with Eve Ensler, Anna Deavere Smith or Heather Raffo, Mann cultivates a dramatic form based on recovering silenced voices from history, and on providing them with an attentive ear that will listen to their experiences and learn from them. Thus, in Annulla Mann revises World War II from a feminist point of view, and in Still Life she places centre stage, facing a veteran, two women who never fought in the Asian battlefield, proving that the «home front» is a concept that must be acknowledged in the construction of history about war. Going further, Eve Ensler eliminates the male voice from her monologues about violence, presenting stories of very different women united by their violated female condition. This article analizes part of the theatrical production of these two authors from a gender perspective to try and determine the validity that documentary and testimonial techniques may have in a time dominated by the mass media, hyper-reality and (mis)information.Keywords: documentary theatre, testimony, feminism, gender, consciousness-raising
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
