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
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
Décors peints au plafond dans des maisons hellénistiques à Délos
No full textΘραύσματα γραπτών επιχρισμάτων που περισυνελέγησαν στο στρώμα καταστροφής τριών δωματίων του πρώτου ορόφου της Οικίας των σφραγίδων και ενός δωματίου του πρώτου ορόφου της Οικίας του ξίφους είχαν αποκολληθεί από τις οροφές. Τα θραύσματα αυτά επιτρέπουν την ανασύνθεση του διακόσμου στο δωμάτιο της Οικίας του ξίφους καθώς και σε δύο από τα δωμάτια της Οικίας των σφραγίδων, τα τελευταία με χρώματα. Ο διάκοσμος αυτός, που αποτελείται από αλληλένδετες ταινίες γύρω από ένα τετράπλευρο πεδίο και παραπέμπει σε τεντωμένους τάπητες πάνω στην οροφή, είναι πλουσιότερος (ακριβά χρώματα, φύλλα χρυσού) και πιο περίτεχνος (δεκαπέντε περίπου θέματα) από εκείνον των τάφων της ίδιας περιόδου, ο οποίος υιοθετεί ανάλογη σύνθεση «σε τάπητα» και αντλεί την έμπνευση του από το ίδιο ρεπερτόριο, που συναντάται συχνά στα υφάσματα. Εφόσον δεν γνωρίζουμε κανέναν άλλο διάκοσμο οροφής δωματίου κατοικίας, είναι παράτολμο να συγκρίνουμε την υπερβολή των οροφών αυτών με τη λιτότητα των οροφών των τάφων. Το δωμάτιο στο οποίο δεν είναι δυνατή η ανασύνθεση διέθετε εξάλλου ένα διάκοσμο πολύ πιο υποτυπώδη.Fragments of painted plaster found in the destruction layer of three first floor rooms in the House of Seals and of one first floor room of the House of the Sword had broken from the ceiling. They allow the restoration of the schema in the room of the House of the Sword and of two of the rooms in the House of Seals, the latter in colour. Composed of bands surrounding a quadrangular field, these décorations, evoking carpets stretched on the ceiling, are richer (costly pigments, gold leaf) and more complex (some fifteen motifs) than those in tombs of the same period, which adopted the same « carpet » composition and which borrowed from the same repertoire, often confirmed by the textiles. Since we know of no other ceiling decoration in habitation rooms, it is unwise to contrast the exuberance of these ceilings with the tomb ceilings. The room that could not be restored had moreover a much more perfunctory decoration.Des fragments d'enduit peint, recueillis dans la couche de destruction de trois pièces d'étage de la Maison des sceaux et d'une pièce d'étage de la Maison de l'épée, se sont détachés des plafonds. Ils permettent de restituer le schéma de la pièce de la Maison de l'épée et de deux des pièces de la Maison des sceaux, ces dernières en couleurs. Composés de bandes emboîtées autour d'un champ qua- drangulaire, ces décors, qui évoquent des tapis tendus au plafond, sont plus riches (pigments coûteux, feuille d'or) et plus complexes (une quinzaine de motifs) que ceux des tombes de la même période, qui adoptent la même composition « en tapis » et qui empruntent au même répertoire, souvent attesté dans les textiles. Puisqu'on ne connaît aucun autre décor de plafond dans des pièces d'habitation, il est hasardeux d'opposer l'exubérance de ces plafonds à la sobriété des plafonds de tombe. La pièce non restituable avait d'ailleurs un décor beaucoup plus sommaire.Alabe Françoise. Décors peints au plafond dans des maisons hellénistiques à Délos. In: Bulletin de correspondance hellénique.
