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
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

The Quod Christus sit Deus attributed to John Chrysostom : edition, traduction and commentary
No full textNous proposons dans cette étude une nouvelle édition du texte grec du Quod Christus sit Deus, monographie écrite par Jean Chrysostome à la fin des années 380. Cette édition est accompagnée d'une traduction française inédite et précédée d'une introduction qui étudie le texte sous trois aspects majeurs. D'abord, nous avons tenté de confirmer la paternité chrysostomienne de l'ouvrage par des études stylistiques et lexicales précises et de le situer dans son contexte probable de rédaction, celui de la vie à Antioche à la fin du IVe siècle. Nous nous sommes ensuite intéressés au Quod Christus sit Deus en tant que représentant de l'activité polémique des auteurs chrétiens de l'Antiquité et l'avons inscrit dans cette tradition littéraire. Enfin, nous avons pu étudier le texte d'un point de vue philologique. Si l'étude précise des manuscrits a permis de relever de nombreux phénomènes concernant la transmission des textes de Jean Chrysostome, celle des éditions du texte et des auteurs qui empruntent au Quod Christus sit Deus (Nicétas d'Héraclée, Thomas d'Aquin) nous permet d'en mieux appréhender la réception éditoriale et littéraire.I propose in this study a new edition of the Greek text of the Quod Christus sit Deus, a monography written by John Chrysostom around 386. It is published with an unedited French translation and preceeded by an introduction which studies the text through three main aspects. First, I attempted to clearly demonstrate the genuineness of the attribution to John Chrysostom through a lexical and stylistic survey and to put it in its probable context : the life in Antioch at the end of the 4th century. Afterwards, I considered it as a preview of the polemic activities the Christian writers could have in Late Antiquity and inscribe it in this literary tradition of polemics. Lastly, I dealt with the work in a philological point of view. The precise analysis of handwritten witnesses showed us many phaenomena related to the transmission of Chrysostomical works, while studying modern editions and works by authors who were largely inspired by the Quod Christus sit Deus (Niketas of Herakleias, Thomas Aquinas) was a good way to seize its editorial and literary reception
