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
Propozicije kao (nelingvistički) objekti i filozofija prava: norme-kao-propozicije
No full textThe paper distinguishes two accounts of legal normativity. One-source
accounts claim there is only one source for legal normativity, which is
ultimately linguistic. Two-source accounts claim legal normativity is both
linguistic and non-linguistic. Two-source accounts claim we need to go
beyond language and beyond propositions taken as linguistic entities,
while they are one-source accounts’ main conceptual tool. Both accounts
construct propositions as linguistic. There is, nevertheless, a documented
analytic tradition starting with G.E. Moore that constructs propositions
as non-linguistic entities. Today, the problem of the unity of proposition
and structured propositions are highly debated in metaphysics. How
does such debates fit into the one-source vs. two-source picture of legal
normativity? Why has analytic legal philosophy failed to consider such
an option concerning propositions (arguably calling descriptive sentences
about norms “normative propositions” did not help)? This paper thus (I)
reconstructs the argumentative dynamics between one-source and two source accounts; (II) presents the less considered philosophical view of
propositions as non-linguistic entities and (III) discusses how to include
or dismiss such a philosophical view in the one-source/two-source debate
on legal normativityU radu se razlikuju dve pozicije u pogledu pravne normativnosti. Pozicije jednoizvornosti
tvrde da postoji samo jedan izvor pravne normativnosti, koji je naposletku lingvistički. Pozi cije dvoizvornosti tvrde da je pravna normativnost i jezička i nejezička. Pozicije dvoizvornosti
tvrde da treba da prevaziđemo jezik i propozicije uzete kao lingvistički entiteti, glavno kon ceptualno sredstvo pozicije jednoizvornosti. U obe pozicije konstruišu se propozicije kao
jezičke, ali je zabeležena analitička tradicija počevši od Dž. E. Mura koja propozicije konstru iše kao nejezičke entitete. Danas se u metafizici jako raspravlja o problemu jedinstva propo zicija i strukturiranih propozicija. Kako se takva teorija uklapa u sliku jednoizvornosti protiv
dvoizvornosti pravne normativnosti? Zašto analitička filozofija prava nije uzela u obzir takvu
opciju u vezi sa propozicijama (nesporno, nazivanje opisniih rečenica o normama „normativ nim propozicijama“ nije pomoglo)? Članak: (I) rekonstruiše argumentativnu dinamiku između
pozicija jednoizvornosti dvoizvornosti; (II) predstavlja manje razmatrani filozofski pogled na
propozicije kao nejezičke entitete i (III) razmatra kako uključiti ili odbaciti takav filozofski po gled u raspravi o pravnoj normativnosti u pogledu jednoizvornosti i dvoizvornosti
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
Meeting Dan Sperber’s Challenge to Searlean Social Ontology
Get PDFWhat follows is a brief commentary to Dan Sperber\u27s plenary lecture at ECAP7 "The deconstruction of social unreality". Sperber\u27s main criticism to Searle\u27s socia lontology is that Searle attributes a causal role to mere Cambridge properties (in Sperber\u27sexample: Jones dies, so the rest of the world gains the Cambridge status of "Jones\u27 survivors"). Sperber then argues that declarations do not create institutional facts causally, criticizes the Serlean theory of recognition/acceptance and put forward his thesis using the concept cognitive causal chains
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
