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
Return aspirations and the life course of refugees in Germany. Interview transcripts
No full textDE: Der Datensatz besteht aus 20 biografisch-narrativen Interviews, die im Rahmen des Projekts "Rückkehrbestrebungen und der Lebensverlauf von Geflüchteten in Deutschland" vom Deutschen Zentrum für Integrations- und Migrationsforschung (DeZIM) durchgeführt wurden. Die Interviews fanden zwischen Mitte 2023 und Anfang 2024 in Berlin statt und wurden in Farsi/Dari, Tigrinya, Englisch oder Deutsch geführt, mit professionellen Übersetzungen zur Gewährleistung der Konsistenz. Die Teilnehmenden umfassen 14 afghanische und 6 eritreische Geflüchtete im Alter von 22 bis 48 Jahren, die zwischen 2013 und 2019 nach Deutschland kamen. Sieben Interviewpaare bestehen aus zwei erwachsenen Mitgliedern desselben Haushalts, wodurch familiäre Dynamiken bei Migrationsentscheidungen beleuchtet werden. Die Studie fokussiert auf persönliche Migrationserfahrungen – von den Ausgangsbedingungen in den Herkunftsländern und den Transitphasen bis hin zur Ankunft und Integration in Deutschland sowie zukünftigen Perspektiven. Alle Interviews wurden transkribiert, ins Englische übersetzt, anonymisiert und stehen für die wissenschaftliche Sekundäranalyse zur Verfügung.
EN: The dataset consists of 20 biographical-narrative interviews, conducted within the framework of the project "Return aspirations and the life course of refugees in Germany," implemented by the German Center for Integration and Migration Research (DeZIM). The interviews took place in Berlin between mid-2023 and early 2024 and were conducted in Farsi/Dari, Tigrinya, English, or German, with professional translations ensuring consistency. Participants include 14 Afghan and 6 Eritrean refugees aged 22 to 48 years who arrived in Germany between 2013 and 2019. Seven interview pairs consist of two adult members of the same household, providing insights into family dynamics in migration decision-making. The study focuses on personal migration experiences, from initial circumstances in home countries and transit phases to settlement in Germany and future aspirations. All interviews have been transcribed, translated into English, anonymized, and are available for scientific secondary analysis
