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
Forschungsrichtungen in der Anthropologie: Philosophische Anthropologie, Historische Anthropologie, Interkulturalität und Kulturanthropologie ; Überblick und Auswahlbibliographie
Get PDFDer vorliegende Überblick entstand im Auftrag und bezogen auf den Kontext des Sonderforschungsbereichs 'Literatur und Anthropologie' an der Universität Konstanz. Im Sonderforschungsbereich wurde eine dreifache Fragestellung verfolgt: (1) Warum produzieren Menschen Literatur? (2) Was wird in der Literatur über den Menschen gesagt? (3) Wie verhalten sich die literarischen Darstellungen zu anderen sprachlichen Artikulationen des 'Menschlichen' oder zu anderen Formen der medialen Repräsentation? Die vorliegende kommentierte Auswahlbibliographie umfaßt vier Forschungsrichtungen: Die Historische Anthropologie, die Philosophische Anthropologie, Interkulturalität und Kulturanthropologie. Die Überblicksdarstellung beabsichtigt, die Hauptanliegen der vier Gebiete in Bezug auf methodische, reflexive und theoretische Überlegungen zu ordnen und kurz zu referieren. (ICA)'This overview of research in the field of anthropology seeks to offer an introduction into different directions and debates on the outlines of anthropological research and tries to relate the discussion in the German academic context to the Anglo-American context. It differentiates four fields: philosophical anthropology, historical anthropology, 'Interkulturalität' (inter-cultural relations) and cultural anthropology, and focuses on theoretical and methodological reflections and on interdisciplinary debates relating to literary studies. The German philosophical anthropology with it's sources in the Enlightenment tried to establish an universal concept of what the human being originally is or could be. The historical anthropology has criticised this concept of an unchangeable human nature because it doesn't take into account the historical changes and diversities of the development of human beings. Nevertheless in the German context both fields remained for a long time dominated by universalistic assumptions and critical debates about relativism. Only in the last years philosophical, historical, and literary research begin to interest in intercultural relations, in ethnology, and in Anglo-American cultural anthropology establishing a differentiated relation to ethnic or cultural otherness. These fields are also influenced by the 'linguistic turn' and the 'interpretative anthropology' focusing on the role of language and on modes of representation and symbolising. The overview is connected to a selected (and partly commented) bibliography.' (author's abstract
Sappho am Fenster der Guillotine. Zu intermedialen Reflexionen von Visualität und Queerness bei Claude Cahun
Get PDFJULIKA FUNK: Sappho at the Guillotine Window: Intermedia Reflections of Visuality and Queerness in the Work of Claude CahunThe paper explores Claude Cahun’s literary work and contemporaneous art contexts around 1900 to reappraise the problem of gender identity and gender attribution in Cahun’s stagings of the self. It traces both the complex, semiotic vector field spanning the manifold interrelations between Cahun’s works and the references therein to the prevailing discourse on homosexuality and the state of aesthetic debates at the time. Particular attention is devoted to the continuing resistance of Cahun’s photographic work, the resistance offered by identity images produced in the genre of self-portraits, and the possible resistance of these works to becoming photographic images. The paper thus sheds light on the media-specific conditions of such representations and on the possibilities available to Cahun for figuring at once as a female artist, photographer, writer, and lesbian. Such figuration is intimately related to the performance and visibility of body images which, however, are unable to elude their own masquerading. The actual project of Cahun’s texts is described as a poetics of double or multiple exposure, as a negative-positive process of photography, that is, as a form of critical experimentation in the field of visibility. Using the example of Cahun’s Aveux, a series of autobiographical texts, this paper traces the interaction between photographic and linguistic (literary) processes. It shows how Cahun’s photographic reflection on the gaze regime and its playing with the camera’s gaze discovers its identity-logical analogy in writing: both techniques, the photographic and the literary, resist a definitive attribution of identity as regards their motifs (contents) and form.
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
