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
La « médecine défensive » : critique d'un concept à succès
No full text« Defensive medicine »: critique of a successful concept
The recent years have seen increased public debate regarding medical malpractice litigation. Many commentators talk about the dangers to our health System of drifting into an American-style of litigation. Consequences of legal intervention on medical practices in France have not been examined yet to any great extent in the field of social sciences. The aims of this article are to re-examine the concept of « defensive medicine », a concept that appears in numerous American works on how litigation affects the behaviour of doctors, and which is now gaining ground in France, to develop an approach that will allovv us to take these works a step further, and to analyse the results of our study on the subject. The study has been carried out in two sectors: haemophilia and anaesthesia-intensive care. Within these two areas, which differ in size, exposure to litigation and political history, we analyse the dynamics through which healthcare professionals have been faced with legal action and how they have reacted individually and collectively.Résumé. On assiste, depuis plusieurs années, à une montée des débats publics autour de la judiciarisation des soins. De nombreux commentateurs invoquent une « dérive à l'américaine » pour désigner les dangers que cette judiciarisation ferait courir à notre système de santé. Toutefois, les conséquences de l'intervention de la justice sur les pratiques médicales restent très peu explorées par les sciences sociales en France. Cet article a pour objectifs de réinterroger le concept de « médecine défensive » qui irrigue bon nombre de travaux américains portant sur l'impact des procès sur les comportements des médecins et qui rencontre aujourd'hui un certain succès en France, de construire une approche qui permette de dépasser les limites de ces travaux, et de mettre en œuvre une enquête et d'en évaluer les résultats. Cette enquête a été menée sur deux terrains : la clinique de l'hémophilie et de l'anesthésie-réanimation. Au sein de ces univers contrastés, tant par leur taille, leur mode d'exposition aux procès et leur histoire politique, nous analysons les dynamiques par lesquelles les professionnels de santé ont été confrontés aux procès et y ont réagi, à la fois individuellement et collectivement.La « medicina defensiva » : crítica de un concepto exitoso
Desde hace varios años asistimos a un aumento de los debates públicos alrededor de la « juridiciarización » de los cuidados. Numerosos comentaristas invocan una « desviación a la americana », para señalar los peligros que esta « juridiciarización » tendría en nuestro sistema de salud. Sin embargo, en Francia las consecuencias de la intervención de la justicia en las prácticas médicas, siguen siendo poco estudiadas por las ciencias sociales. Este artículo tiene por objetivo de interrogar nuevamente acerca del concepto de « medicina defensiva » présente en buen número de trabajos americanos que tratan sobre el impacto de los procesos sobre el comportamiento de los médicos, y que tiene hoy un cierto éxito en Francia, elaborar un enfoque que permita sobrepasar los límites de dichos trabajos y hacer una encuesta y evaluar los resultados. Esta encuesta será llevada a cabo en dos terrenos: la clínica de la hemofilia y anestesia-reanimación. En el seno de estos universos contrastados — tanto por su tamaño, su modo de exposición a los procesos y su historia política— , hemos analizado las dinámicas a través de las cuales los profesionales de la salud se han enfrentado a los procesos, y han reaccionado tanto individual como colectivamente.Barbot Janine, Fillion Emmanuelle.
