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
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
O teatro de Albert Camus como fonte de interpretação para o século XX: inspirações artísticas para uma época violenta
No full textThe 20th century was marked by forceful authoritarism that impacted the artistic productions. There are several artists and intellectuals who responded to politics issues through his art as a form of political resistance and struggle. In this broad context,we have the figure of Albert Camus (1913-1960) who became know worlwide for his novels, essays, as well as for his perfomance in the French Resistence and in the political debates generated there. In this article, we will deal with the plays written by Camus throughout his live as writer, our aim is understanding how a dramatic form was important to the author put himself in front of the themes that marked his time. In addiction to recovering the theatrical texts for hystorical analysis, we also seek to understand how the author interpreted the authoriatanisms of his time and mainly how Camus serves as an inspirations to helps us reflect about the begining of 21 th century.O século XX foi um período marcado por contundentes autoritarismos que impactaram a sua produção artística, são vários os artistas e intelectuais que responderam à violência política lançando mão de aspectos temáticos e formais para fazer da arte uma forma de resistência e luta. Nesse amplo contexto, encontra-se a figura do escritor franco-argelino Albert Camus (1913-1960) que se tornou mundialmente conhecido por seus romances, ensaios, bem como por sua atuação na Resistência Francesa e nos embates políticos daí gerados. Neste artigo, trataremos das peças teatrais escritas por Camus ao longo de sua trajetória como escritor, nosso objetivo é compreender como a forma dramática foi importante para o autor se colocar publicamente frente aos temas que marcaram sua época. Além de recuperar os textos teatrais para a análise histórica, buscamos compreender como o autor interpretou os autoritarismos de seu tempo e principalmente como ele nos serve de inspiração para refletir sobre o início do século XXI

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
Albert Camus e Edward Said, leituras distintas para tempos complexos: considerações sobre O Estrangeiro (1942)
No full textBased on the principle of the historicity of the production and reception of fictional works, this article recovers the figure of the writer Albert Camus, through the novel The Stranger, making considerations about the way that critic Edward Said treats work and author within the debate about culture and imperialism. It is important to point out that Said's interpretive basis, when including Camus in the discussions about imperialism, is different from that used by the writer, so we try to historicize the two readings, emphasizing the “place” where Camus produces his texts and the way that he deals with the Arab peoples in his best-known novel.Partindo do princípio da historicidade da produção e da recepção de obras ficcionais, este artigo recupera a figura do escritor Albert Camus, por meio do romance O Estrangeiro, tecendo considerações sobre a maneira como o crítico Edward Said trata obra e autor no interior do debate sobre cultura e imperialismo. É importante perceber que a base interpretativa de Said, ao incluir Camus nas discussões sobre imperialismo, é distinta daquela que é utilizada pelo escritor, portanto busca-se historicizar as duas leituras, enfatizando o “lugar” de onde Camus produz seus textos e a maneira como trata dos povos árabes em seu romance mais conhecido
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
