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

No full textDiese Dissertation zur Sozialgeschichte des Reisens aus dem Jahr 1984 beschritt einen neuen Weg, um die deutschen Afrikareisenden des 19. Jahrhunderts zu erforschen. Sie untersuchte die Finanzierung der Afrikaforschung und entwickelte eine Kollektivbiographie, die erlaubte quantitative Aussagen darüber zu machen, was als höchst individuell galt: die Motive, die Männer – bisher als irrationale Abenteurer rezipiert – in den „dunklen“ Kontinent reisen ließ. Die Kollektivbiographie, die 109 Personen umfasst, belegt, das zwei Drittel der Reisenden aufstiegsorientierte junge Akademiker (vor allem aus den beschreibenden Naturwissenschaften) waren, die hofften, dank der „Entdeckungsreise“ ihre Universitätskarriere in Deutschland zu befördern. Dieser hohe akademische Anteil war ein deutsches Spezifikum, die französischen und englischen Afrikareisenden kamen eher aus dem Militär. Sieben exemplarische, kurze Biographien illustrieren den Befund, u.a. zu Heinrich Barth und zu Carl Peters, der Privatdozent für Geschichte war. Die Reisenden vor 1884, d.h. der Errichtung deutscher Kolonien in Afrika, bereiteten der deutschen Kolonialherrschaft nicht unmittelbar den Weg, d.h. erforschten nicht jene Regionen, die später deutsche Kolonien wurden. Aber sie stärkten die deutsche Kolonialbewegung seit den 1870er Jahren, da sie deren Phantasmen und Forderungen Nahrung lieferten.This doctoral thesis, written in 1984, is concerned with the social history of travelling and takes a new approach to researching German travellers in Africa in the 19th century. It examines the financing of African exploration and develops a collective biography that allows quantitative statements to be made about what used to be considered highly individual: the motives that led men – previously perceived as irrational adventurers – to travel to the so-called "dark" continent. This collective biography, which includes 109 people, shows that two thirds of the travellers were upwardly mobile young academics (mainly from the descriptive natural sciences) who hoped to further their university careers in Germany thanks to the "voyage of discovery". This high proportion of academics was specific to Germany; the French and English travellers to Africa tended to come from the military. Seven exemplary, short biographies illustrate the findings, including those of Heinrich Barth and Carl Peters, who was a private lecturer in history. Travellers before 1884, the year which marks the establishment of German colonies in Africa, did not directly pave the way for German colonial rule. They did not explore those regions that later became German colonies, but instead strengthened the German colonial movement from the 1870s onwards, as they fuelled its fantasies and demands.Digitalisat der Ausgabe von 1985, erschienen 202
