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
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
El joven Blumenberg: diálogos filosóficos y otras contribuciones a la radio, 1949-1955 / The Young Blumenberg: Philosophical Dialogues and Other Contributions to the Radio, 1949-1955
Get PDFAbstractIn this paper I will discuss an early stage of Blumenberg’s intelectual production, when he was still a young scholar without any permanent position. I will try to describe his contributions to Nordwestdeutscher Rundfunk radio between 1949 and 1955, with venues in Hamburg and Köln, and Südwestfunk radio, in Baden Baden.The latter had a prestigious night cultural program, the Nachtprogramm, in which distinguished authors such as Alfred Döblin, Karl Jaspers or Ernst Jünger also made contributions. During these years, the complex sociogenetic process of Blumenberg becoming an intelectual of national fame took place in an environment still affected by the ravages of World War II and the nazi regime. During this period, an intense evolution of the philosophical interests of the young Blumenberg took place, especially from his doctoral thesis –about medieval scholastic philosophy– and his habilitation thesis –devoted to the analysis of the husserlian phenomenology crisis. Progressively, Blumenberg turned to the interpretation of the spiritual situation of postwar Germany through the history of philosophy, the incipient Cold War and the presence of theological topics in contemporary literature, particularly in Graham Grenne’s and Evelyn Waugh’s novels.Keywords: history of philosophy, nihilism, provisional moral, philosophy of history, grace, eschatological irony. ResumenEn este artículo abordo una fase muy temprana de la producción intelectual de Blumenberg: cuando aún era un joven académico sin posición estable. Trataré de describir sus aportaciones entre 1949 y 1955 a las radios Nordwestdeutscher Rundfunk, con sedes en Hamburgo y Colonia, y Südwestfunk, radicada en Baden-Baden. Esta última contaba con un prestigioso programa cultural nocturno, el Nachtprogramm, donde también contribuyeron autores tan destacados como Alfred Döblin, Karl Jaspers y Ernst Jünger. Durante estos años asistimos al complejo proceso de sociogénesis de Blumenberg como un intelectual de talla nacional, en un entorno todavía marcado por los estragos de la Segunda Guerra Mundial y el legado del régimen nazi. En el periodo objeto de estudio se advierte una intensa evolución de los intereses filosóficos del primer Blumenberg, sobre todo a partir de su tesis doctoral –consagrada a la filosofía escolástica medieval– y su trabajo de habilitación –dedicado al análisis de la crisis de la fenomenología husserliana–. De manera progresiva, Blumenberg se orientó hacia la interpretación de la situación espiritual de la Alemania de posguerra a través de la historia del pensamiento filosófico, la incipiente Guerra Fría y la presencia de temáticas teológicas en la literatura contemporánea, en particular en las novelas de Graham Greene y Evelyn Waugh.Palabras clave: historia de la filosofía, nihilismo, moral provisional, filosofía de la historia, gracia, ironía escatológica.
Descubrir la emergencia, disolver la revolución: el cambio científico a través de sus metáforas
Get PDFIn this paper I deal with the evolution of different views concerning “scientific change”, from a metaphorological approach. Metaphors like “discovery”, “revolution”, “emergence” or dissolution” not only have had a heuristic value in relation to the production of historical narratives and philosophical theories on the dynamics of science, but also have remained inextricablely bound to different views on will undertake an analysis of T. S. Kuhn’s early works in connection with H. Blumenberg´s metaphorology, I. Hacking´s historical ontology and L. Daston´s historical epistemology. I will argue that among the main contributions of the two latter accounts we can detect a non holistic conception of scientific change
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
La ontología cosmológica en la obra temprana de Hans Blumenberg: las Beiträge y Die ontologische Distanz
Get PDFEn este artículo analizamos los primeros textos que Hans
Blumenberg [1920-1996] escribió con el objeto de obtener grados académicos, su tesis doctoral Beiträge zum Problem der Ursprünglichkeit der mittelalterlichscholastischen Ontologie, y su trabajo de habilitación Die ontologische Distanz. Eine Untersuchung über die Krisis der Phänomenologie Husserls. Ambos fueron presentados en la Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel en 1947 y 1950,
respectivamente. En una primera parte estudiaremos la crítica de Blumenberg a la pregunta heideggeriana por el sentido del ser y al subsiguiente programa de la «Destruktion» de la historia de la ontología. En la segunda parte nos ocupará la revisión de Blumenberg del último período de la fenomenología husserliana. Intentamos mostrar que en estos dos trabajos —a día de hoy aún inéditos—
Blumenberg elaboró una interpretación de carácter cosmológico tanto de la ontología de Heidegger como de la crisis de la fenomenología de Husserl
