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

No full textVariations 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
Le sexe féminin et le regard de l’Autre dans la « Visio prima » du Catoptrum microcosmicum de Remmelin : « entre la Méduse et l’abîme »
No full textIn the introduction to their collective volume, The Body in Parts, David Hillman and Carla Mazzio use a psychoanalytic approach to examine the image of a supposed Medusa placed (overlayed) on top of an anatomical engraving of the female sex in the “Visio prima” of Johann Remmelin’s Catoptrum microcosmicum. These critics are not only interested in studying what they call the “age of synecdoche” or the “body in bits and pieces”; they also wish to examine the powers projected onto women’s sexual organs, along with the anxieties they produce, in Remmelin’s famous multi-layered flap-anatomy book. However, as we shall see, reading this enigmatic image proves far from simple or unequivocal, not only because it is part of a complex network of signs, but also because of the wide-ranging approaches to and divergent interpretations of this hybrid, mobile work. This article examines various readings of the monstrous figure that serves both to cover and to uncover what lies beneath the paper tab on which it is featured, namely the genitals of the truncated body of the pregnant woman at the bottom of the first page of the anatomical triptych. Through our exploration of the work of various scholars who have studied the image and its accompanying inscriptions, as well as the book’s context, we shall see that the picture in question does not necessarily represent a Gorgon, and that, despite the significant contributions of specialists from different disciplines, this mysterious figure still seems far from revealing all of its secrets.Dans leur introduction au volume collectif, The Body in Parts, David Hillman et Carla Mazzio se servent de prismes provenant de la psychanalyse pour examiner l’image d’une soi-disant Méduse placée (plaquée) sur une gravure anatomique du sexe féminin dans la « Visio prima » du Catoptrum microcosmicum de Johann Remmelin. Il s’agit, pour ces critiques, non seulement d’étudier ce qu’ils nomment « l’âge de la synecdoque » ou du « corps morcelé », mais les rapports entre pouvoirs et angoisses projetés sur le sexe féminin dans ce fameux livre à rabats. Cependant, comme nous le verrons, la lecture de la gravure en question est loin d’être simple, ni univoque, non seulement parce qu’elle fait partie d’une œuvre complexe, mais parce qu’il y a tant de voies d’approches possibles et d’interprétations divergentes de cette œuvre hybride et mouvante. Notre article se penchera donc sur diverses lectures de la figure monstrueuse qui sert à la fois à voiler et à dévoiler ce qui se trouve sous le volet énigmatique qui la représente, à savoir les organes génitaux du corps tronqué de la femme gravide en bas de la première page du triptyque anatomique. Nous verrons que divers critiques interprètent la vignette différemment, qu’il ne s’agit pas nécessairement d’une Gorgone, et que cette image gardera, malgré tout, sa part de mystère
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
