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
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

The continuum between coordination and subordination in Archaic Greek: On the grammaticalization of ἅμα
No full textThe syntax of subordination in the early stages of ancient Indo-European languages is still a debated issue (cf. Cristofaro 2003, Viti 2013, Probert 2015 and references therein). Indeed, not all subordination strategies rely on specific lexical items or explicit markers, making it challenging to identify clause-linking patterns in many of the world's languages (cf. Haspelmath 2004, Gast & Diessel 2012). From a typological perspective, it is widely held that adverbs and prepositions are among the primary sources of both coordinating and subordinating markers, which are considered the result of a grammaticalization process (cf. Haumann 1997; Kortmann 1998). By using the Thesaurus Linguae Graecae database (TLG) as a digital corpus of Homeric Greek texts, this paper investigates the semantic and syntactic developments of ἅμα ‘together; at the same time’ (cf. Beekes 2010: 79), aiming to demonstrate that it can be considered the source of a grammaticalization process that gives rise to new linking strategies. From a synchronic perspective, the analysis of all the occurrences of ἅμα in Iliad and Odyssey shows that this is a multifunctional term that involves a great variety of meanings, behaving as (i) an adverb with either spatial (‘in the same place’), comitative, or temporal value (simultaneity), (ii) a preposition governing dative NPs, (iii) a preverb added to a specific class of verbs, with which it tends to constitute a syntactic and semantic unit, (iv) a connective adverb functioning as a coordinating conjunction, (v) a preposition introducing a subordinate clause. From a diachronic perspective, based on different syntactic contexts, it turns out to undergo multiple grammaticalization processes (polygrammaticalization), evolving either from adverb into preposition or from adverb into conjunction, according to an evolution path that has been observed in other ancient Indo-European languages. Moreover, it is hardly surprising that a comitative marker can be recruited to express a conjunctive relationship (Mithun 1988: 338; Haspelmath 2004: 15). Indeed, previous studies have already classified Ancient Greek ἅμα as a ‘conjunctive adverb’ (Crespo 2011: 39; Jiménez Delgado 2018: 212; cf. Verano 2018: 127). In particular, it has been suggested that ἅμα functioned as a conjunctive adverb as early as Homer. However, it has been argued that such a function was limited to smaller syntactic units, such as NPs, APs, and AdvPs, and that only in the post-Homeric age did ἅμα extend to link broader clause or sentence-level structures (Conti 2012: 60-61). Unlike what was previously assumed (Schwyzer 1950: 534; Conti 2012: 45), I will attempt to show that already in Homer ἅμα began to function as a clause linking strategy. This development aligns with typological predictions suggesting that comitative markers like ‘with’ typically grammaticalize into clause-connecting markers only after an intermediate stage where they coordinate noun phrases (cf. Author 2025 and references therein). It is thus hypothesized that a former comitative adverb ἅμα underwent a grammaticalization process, giving rise to new categories such as conjunctive adverb and preposition, while still preserving its lexical adverbial function, conforming to the basic principle of functional and formal persistence in grammaticalization (Hopper 1991: 22; Lichtenberk 1991: 75). Gradually, both the conjunctive adverb and the preposition expanded into new syntactic contexts. On the one hand, in line with the well-known grammaticalization path COMITATIVE > NP-AND > SENTENCE-SND (Heine & Kuteva 2004: 83), ἅμα extended its coordinating function from NP to sentence level, connecting independent clauses. On the other hand, given the close typological correlation between the comitative function and the temporal meaning of simultaneity that gives rise to the grammaticalization path COMITATIVE > TEMPORAL (cf. Heine & Kuteva 2004: 89-90), ἅμα as a preposition evolved from a comitative marker added to temporal NP arguments to a marker introducing subordinate temporal clauses.
