Le site d’information The Conversation France comme ressource pédagogique: Enquête exploratoire sur les identités professionnelles des acteurs
No full textInternational audienceThe Conversation France has been online since September 2015. As an information media, it takes the form of a website dedicated to scientific and common news. Academics and journalists collaborate to write and publish articles together, in order to share and spread academic knowledge. Could The Conversation France contribute to a new kind of school mediation, and help academic and school worlds to meet ? In an observer-participant position (he coordinates the The Conversation France project for the University of Lorraine), the author of this action-research refers to field data, a readership survey and interviews with academic authors, journalists and junior school librarians teachers. The analysis suggests that the teachers might need the contents of The Conversation France to be acknowledged and re-mediated, so that they feel fully receivers on a professional basis.The Conversation France est un média d’information numérique qui prend la forme d’un site de partage et de diffusion des savoirs autour de l’actualité générale et scientifique. Les articles sont le fruit de la collaboration entre des journalistes et des chercheurs universitaires. Se présentant comme un nouveau média numérique pour la diffusion des savoirs et de la culture scientifique, The Conversation France peut-il contribuer à renouveler la médiation scolaire en rapprochant le monde académique et celui de l’enseignement scolaire ? En position d’observateur participant, impliqué dans la promotion de The Conversation France au sein de l’université de Lorraine, l’auteur appuie sa recherche-action sur des données de terrain, une enquête de lectorat et des entretiens avec des auteurs universitaires et des journalistes afin de discuter les résultats d’une enquête exploratoire conduite auprès de stagiaires professeures-documentalistes. L’analyse suggère que le public enseignant attend une légitimation et une remédiation des contenus de The Conversation France afin de s’en sentir pleinement destinataire à titre professionnel
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
Forme et enjeux de la collaboration autour de la « bédénovela » numérique Les Autres Gens
Full text linkInternational audienceLes Autres Gens (LAG) is an online comic published between March 2010 and June 2012. It was produced by an author and more than one hundred co-authors and artists. Based on interviews with some of the collaborators of the serial, this article adresses the role of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in the form and issues of the collaborative storytelling process.ICTs were a decisive factor in the birth and development of collaboration on LAG. Collaborators used them in a very spontaneous way. Although they don’t speak much about ICTs during the interviews, the communication possibilities offered by these technologies allow everyone to be a graphic novel artist or author. Used in continuity with the tradition of graphic novel authorship, it is ICTs that make collaboration on so large a scale possible.El cómic Les Autres Gens (LAG), publicado en línea de marzo 2010 a junio 2012, es la obra de un guionista, en colaboración de un centenar de autores, co-guionistas y dibujantes. El presente artículo analiza el lugar que ocupan las tecnologías de la información y de la comunicación, en la producción narrativa, en colaboración, tanto en relación a los aspectos formales como a los retos que dichas prácticas implican. Para ello, se realizan entrevistas semidirigidas realizadas a los colaboradores de este cómic y se utilizan las herramientas conceptuales de la Teoría de la Actividad. El impacto de las Tecnologías de la Información y de la Comunicación (TIC) es tratado en lo que respecta a la colaboración, a la forma y a otras cuestiones que ésta suscita.Desde el inicio y durante el desarrollo de la colaboración, las personas implicadas en el proceso hacen un uso de las TIC tan espontáneo, que dichas tecnologías, apenas aparecen en sus discursos. Sin embargo, son las posibilidades de comunicación que ofrecen las TIC, las que permiten realizarse como autor de cómic. Esa inscripción, tan natural, de las TIC, en la tradición del cómic, es la que permite una colaboración tan amplia.Le feuilleton Les Autres Gens (LAG), publié en ligne de mars 2010 à juin 2012, est l’oeuvre d’un scénariste et d’une centaine d’auteurs, co-scénaristes et dessinateurs. En s’appuyant sur des entretien semi-directifs auprès de collaborateurs de la série et sur les outils conceptuels de la théorie de l’activité, l’article porte sur la place des technologies de l’information et de la communication (TIC) dans la collaboration à des fins de production narrative, tant au sujet de la forme que des enjeux que ces pratiques soulèvent.Dans la genèse comme dans le déroulement de la collaboration, les personnes concernées témoignent d’un usage si spontané des TIC que ces dernières sont peu présentes dans leurs discours. Pourtant ce sont les possibilités de communication offertes par ces technologies qui permettent à chacun de se réaliser comme auteur de bande dessinée. C’est cette inscription de manière naturelle des TIC dans la tradition narrative de la bande dessinée qui rend possible une collaboration d’une telle ampleur
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
