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
O pitoresco mare tenebrarum de O cirurgião do mar, de Gabriele d\u27Annunzio
No full textDespite the contributions of Gabriele D\u27Annunzio (1863-1938) to the decadent movement, the author served throughout the 1980s as a great short story writer and journalist, with strong inspiration in the Italian verismo and in French naturalism. These inspirations made D\u27Annunzio develop what we will call pre-decadentism: narratives about a portion of the population mistreated by society. Trying to give veracity to his stories, the writer adopts, in addition to the zolian technique of direct observation, a very particular aesthetic that comes up against the definition of horror, since themes such as the grotesque, the mortuary and the sick are frequently approached to illustrate the suffering of your characters. The result of this is that, even before adopting a decadentist aesthetic based on ekphrasis - descriptions of works of art - and hypotyposis - pictorial descriptions without reference to a specific picture -, the author used these resources to enrich his naturalist tales; a horror of colors and textures so intense that it evolves into the picturesque. This article aims to analyze the Mare tenebrarum (Bachelard 2015) from the perspective of an aesthetic of horror (Lovecraft 1987; Todorov 1975) and the pictorial language (Louvel 2012) in the work The surgeon of the sea (1886).Apesar das contribuições de Gabriele D\u27Annunzio (1863-1938) para o movimento decadentista, o autor atuou, durante toda a década de 1980, como um grande contista com fortes inspirações seja no verismo italiano, seja no naturalismo francês. Tais inspirações, principalmente aquelas ligadas à produção de Guy de Maupassant (1850-1893) fizeram com que D\u27Annunzio desenvolvesse o que chamaremos de pré-decadentismo: narrativas acerca de uma parcela da população vilipendiada e esquecida pela sociedade. Buscando dar veracidade às suas histórias, o escritor adota, além da técnica zoliana de observação direta, uma estética muito particular que esbarra na definição de horror, posto que temas como o grotesco, o mortuário e o doentio são abordados frequentemente para ilustrar o sofrimento de seus personagens. O resultado disso é que, mesmo antes de adotar uma estética decadentista baseada em écfrases - descrições de obras de arte - e hipotiposes - descrições picturais sem alusão a um quadro específico -, o autor utilizou tais recursos para enriquecer seus contos naturalistas; um horror de cores e texturas tão intensas que evolui para o pitoresco. O presente artigo objetiva analisar a estética do horror (Lovecraft 1987; Todorov 1975) sob um viés pictural (Louvel 2012) na obra O cirurgião do mar (1886)
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
