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
Krynein ou l’empreinte des corps : à propos de la pensée critique en droit
Get PDFLe présent texte est la version enrichie d’une communication prononcée
lors de la 6ème Journée d’étude sur la méthodologie et l’épistémologie
juridiques qui s’est tenue à l’Université Laval et portait sur la pensée critique
en droit. Les auteurs tiennent à remercier les professeurs Azzaria et Makela
pour les avoir invités, ainsi que l’ensemble des participants pour leurs remarques
et questions.
La communication avait été conçue pour être un épilogue à la journée
d’étude. Les auteurs ont choisi de s’interroger sur les formes qu’emprunte
la pensée critique en droit au moyen d’une tentative de pastiche. La référence
est une oeuvre du 18ème siècle, prétendument « traduite de l’allemand
de Mr. le docteur Ralph » et qui raconte le voyage initiatique d’un jeune
homme au travers des injustices du monde pour le conduire à la sagesse.
Dans le présent récit, l’héroïne rencontre diverses conceptions de la critique
incarnées par différents personnages et finit, elle aussi, par trouver la sagesse
en suivant, sans le savoir, cette exhortation qui pousse, de Spinoza à
Nietzsche, à s’étonner de ce que peut le corps.Abstract: This article is an expanded version of the talk we gave at the 6ème
Journée d’étude sur la méthodologie et l’épistémologie juridiques which was
held at Laval University and concerned critical thought in law. We wish to thank
professors Azzaria and Makela for inviting us, as well as all of the participants
for their remarks and questions.
We conceived our talk as a kind of epilogue to the journée d’étude. We
chose to revisit the question of the forms that critical thought in law tends to
adopt by means of a kind of pastiche of a work which purpose to be a translation
from the German of Dr. Ralph. It tells the story of the initiatory journey undertaken
by a young man who finds wisdom through encountering the injustices of
the world. In our parody of that eighteenth century work, the heroine encounters
various conceptions of critical thought, each personified in different characters.
She too finds wisdom by heeding, without realizing it, that age-old call which,
from Spinoza to Nietszche, urges us to marvel at what the body can do
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
Flottements du droit − Note sur l’écriture juridique
No full textCe bref essai voudrait inviter à prendre en considération le phénomène d’écriture juridique, c’est-à-dire le mode privilégié de formalisation du droit dans les sociétés occidentales contemporaines. Pour cela, il développe une idée simple à première vue : puisque le droit se présente à nous dans des textes, la composition de ces textes conditionne la manière d’être du droit. Or l’écriture du droit, quel que soit l’auteur du texte, quel que soit le type du texte, connaît certaines contraintes qui influent, par conséquent, sur le droit lui-même. Il apparaît donc que l’écriture juridique est un acte constitutif du droit. Plus encore, il s’agit d’un acte constitutif de certaines des équivoques, de certaines des ambivalences, bref, des flottements caractéristiques du droit. En établissant ainsi l’enjeu de la textualisation du droit, cet article plaide pour faire de l’écriture juridique un objet d’étude.This overview invites the reader to take into consideration the phenomenon of legal prose, namely the means resorted to by writers in order to formalize law in contemporary occidental societies. To do so, at first sight the author expresses a simple observation : Since the law is expressed to us in written texts, such drafting conditions the manner in which we conform therewith. Yet in the writing of the law, no matter who the author may be — and little does it matter what kind of text — it conforms to certain constraints which in turn, have an effect on the law itself. It then appears that forensic writing is by its very existence an endevour constituting the law. Moreover, it is an act embedded with various ambivalencies, hesitations, and even uncertainties characteristic of the law itself
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
