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
Teatro e rappresentanza politica: solitudine dei privati e segreto del potere da Hobbes a Rousseau
Full text linkIn Hobbes the theatre constitutes the representation as separation of the space of politics and private lives and the representative’s mask shows the necessary link between representation and secret. The theatre of the Enlightenment, that opposes public opinion to arcana imperii and that places itself as the space of the new representative mediation of the ‘hommes de lettres’, confirms the separation between politics and individual lives. Rousseau, condemning the theatre and exalting the festival as communion of hearts, puts the representative dialectics within each man. Besides in Rousseau the festival implies an organizer, creates spontaneity through the secret of the artifice and joins citizens separating them from their own lives.In Hobbes il teatro costituisce la rappresentanza come separazione dello spazio della politica e dello spazio delle vite private e la maschera del rappresentante esibisce il legame necessario tra rappresentanza e segreto. Il teatro dei Lumi, che oppone agli arcana imperii l’opinione pubblica e che si pone come lo spazio della nuova mediazione rappresentativa degli hommes de lettres, ribadisce la separazione tra il mondo della politica e quello delle vite degli individui. Rousseau, con la sua condanna del teatro e con la sua esaltazione della festa come comunione dei cuori, colloca in realtà la dialettica rappresentativa all’interno di ciascun individuo. Inoltre la festa di Rousseau presuppone un organizzatore, crea la spontaneità attraverso il segreto dell’artificio e riunisce i cittadini separandoli dalle loro vite
I costituzionalisti italiani e la Resistenza
Full text linkMost of the Italian constitutionalists were not interested in the Resistance movement or they told it only as the Resistance of the anti-fascist parties, forgetting the fundamental and spontaneous role of Italian individuals and partisan formations. This happened because the thought of the Italian constitutionalists is characterized by an anti-individualism and anti-pluralism, inherited from the liberal-authoritarian legal thought and from the fascist one, that don’t allow them to think the single individual as a sovereign subject and direct protagonist of the juridical and political life.La maggior parte dei costituzionalisti non si è interessata della Resistenza o l’ha raccontata solo come la Resistenza dei partiti antifascisti, dimenticando il ruolo fondamentale e spontaneo dei singoli italiani e delle bande partigiane. Questo è accaduto perché il pensiero dei costituzionalisti è caratterizzato da un antindividualismo e da un antipluralismo, ereditati dal pensiero giuridico liberale-autoritario e da quello fascista, che non permettono di pensare il singolo individuo come soggetto sovrano e diretto protagonista della vita giuridica e politica
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
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
