The Global Migration Turn and the New International Order in the Long 1970s
No full textThis volume aims to present an authoritative account of the transformation in global migration policies and governance that took place during the long 1970s – encompassing some developments of the 1960s or 1980s too. This decade marked a paradigm shift – from a model characterised by North-South relative openness and East-West closure to one of North-South growing restrictions with emergent East-West openness. Our narrative investigates the plight of shanty towns and low-skilled workers, examining how public sentiment on immigration evolved in destination countries and attitudes towards emigration changed in origin countries. We trace the evolving roles of governments, including regulatory measures concerning wages, housing, and cultural integration, culminating in stricter border controls against low-skilled workers. Highlighting the restrictive stances of major Global North destination countries is critical to contextualise broader themes such as refugee crises and brain drain in the Global South, as well as integration challenges within destination countries. The volume extends its focus to the crucial international negotiations aimed at redefining the global order amidst these shifting migration policies, with special attention to the roles played by international organisations. This epoch signalled a transition from bilateral migration management to a more comprehensive engagement of international organisations. These entities were pivotal in addressing the intricate challenges posed by the novel approach to migration. Our goal is to elucidate how the 1970s elevated migration to a major global issue, providing a robust foundation for informed debate and future policymaking

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
