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
Defining the Construct of Aeronautical English Listening for Pilots: Insights from the Literature, the ICAO Rating Scale, and Key Stakeholders’ Perceptions
No full textIn 2003, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) published its Language Proficiency Requirements (LPRs), requiring pilots and air traffic controllers (ATCOs) to demonstrate their ability to speak and understand the language used in radiotelephony communications. Over the years, multiple interpretations of the policy have led to practices that may have undermined the meaningfulness of the LPRs (ICAO, 2022). This is likely due to issues such as the presence of ambiguity and uncertainty in the policy as well as the lack of clarity regarding the nature of the language that needs to be assessed (e.g., Alderson, 2010; Douglas, 2004; Kim, 2012). Since the ICAO Test Design Guidelines (TDGs) recommend that tests should contain tasks dedicated to the assessment of listening separately from speaking, the goal of this doctoral research was to address the initial stages of the development of a test to assess pilots’ listening comprehension in isolation: the definition of the listening construct. Construct definition is an essential step in test development and validation, and it forms the basis for the development of test specifications. To investigate what should be assessed in such a test, three perspectives were taken into consideration. A review of the academic literature and research was made to better understand the construct of listening tests, and, more specifically, the features of aeronautical English listening that may contribute to misunderstandings between pilots and ATCOs. An analysis of the ICAO rating scale was also conducted to examine the listening construct underpinned by the descriptors. Additionally, the perceptions of pilots and other key stakeholders regarding the assessment needs in relation to the listening performed by pilots in radiotelephony communications with ATCOs was investigated. The conceptual foundation underpinning this research project is the sociocognitive theory developed by Weir (2005), which takes into account both individuals’ cognitive processes and the features of the context in which the tasks are performed. The results of the three analyses were merged to define the construct based on the operations pilots need to be able to perform and the conditions under which they operate
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
