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
Einstellung und Sinn
No full textDie vorliegende Arbeit hat die von Eric Weil (1904–1977) stammende eigentümliche Gedankenfigur der ‚Logik der Philosophie‘ zu ihrem Thema. Sie bemüht sich im ersten Teil um eine sowohl systematische als auch geschichtliche Aufklärung dieses Gedankens und vollzieht im zweiten Teil eine Interpretation des von Weil unter diesem Titel vorgelegten philosophielogischen ‚Systems‘. Der den ersten Teil einleitende systematische Entwurf, der auf einer transzendentalphilosophischen Überlegung zum Phänomen der philosophischen Diskussion beruht, stellt den Begriff der Einstellung (attitude) als operativen Grundbegriff der Logik der Philosophie heraus und bestimmt die Logik der Philosophie demgemäß als eine Reflexion über die Einstellungsgebundenheit des Denkens. Die auf diesem „Vorbegriff“ der Logik der Philosophie aufbauenden philosophiegeschichtlichen Studien zeigen, auf welche Weisen das Grunddatum der Einstellungsgebundenheit in der Philosophie seit Kant integriert oder externalisiert wurde. Auf diesem Wege bildet sich eine „Vorgeschichte“ der Logik der Philosophie heraus, in der sich die Einsicht in die Einstellungsgebundenheit des Denkens insbesondere in der Aufgabe einer phänomenologischen Sinnanalyse konkretisiert. Die im zweiten Teil gebotene Interpretation von Weils System der philosophischen Kategorien und Einstellungen stellt sich daher als eine phänomenologische „Relektüre“ dar, die sich von den gängigen ‚neukantianischen‘ Lesarten kritisch abhebt. Auf diese Weise zeigt sich Weils Logik der Philosophie allgemein als ein System der dialektischen Erfahrung des Denkens, in dem sich eine Phänomenologie des sich bildenden kohärenten Sinns kristallisiert. „Sinn“ erweist sich darin nicht nur als die grundlegende kategoriale Form der Philosophie, sondern zugleich auch als das Urphänomen, an dem der philosophische Diskurs teilhat. Die philosophielogisch vertiefte Einsicht in die Korrelation von Einstellung und Sinn gibt den Blick frei auf eine erweiterte phänomenologische Methodenlehre, die die begriffliche Anstrengung des Philosophierens als Einstellungserhellung und als Vorbereitung eines Einstellungswandels verständlich macht.The subject of this doctoral thesis is Eric Weil’s (1904–1977) particular thought of a logic of philosophy / set forth in the book of the same name in 1950. The first part aims to be a systematic and historical clarification of that thought / whereas the second part tries to give a new interpretation of Weil’s metaphilosophical system. This systematic approach introduces some transcendental considerations concerning the phenomenon of the philosophical discussion as such and highlights the Weilian notion of „attitude“ as a key-concept of the „Logic of Philosophy“. Accordingly it specifies Weil’s work as a reflection on the „attitude-dependence“ of philosophical thought. The philosophico-historical investigations of the first part show how the basic assertion of the „attitude-dependence“ throughout the history of philosophy beginning with Kant was either integrated or externalised in the respective philosophical approaches. By tracing the presuppositions concerning the „attitude-dependence“ of thought in the works of various thinkers / the task of a phenomenological analysis of sense manifests. The interpretation of Weil’s system of the philosophical categories and attitudes offered in the second part / presents itself as a phenomenological rereading. This phenomenologically „enriched“ reinterpretation sets my thesis critically apart from the prevalent „neokantian“ interpretations of Weil’s „Logic“. Weil’s thinking is thereby shown to be a system of the dialectical experience of thought / in which a phenomenology of the self-forming coherent sense can be brought to light. „Sense“ then proves to be not only the underlying categorical form of philosophy / but also the foundational phenomenon on which the philosophical discourse relies. The most significant insight brought about by the metaphilosophical investigations of Weil / which reveals the correlation between attitude and sense allows for an „expanded“ phenomenological methodology. This methodology renders the conceptual endeavours of a philosophy intelligible / the task of which is to clarify one’s own attitude and allow for a potential change of said attitude.The subject of this doctoral thesis is Eric Weil’s (1904–1977) particular thought of a logic of philosophy, set forth in the book of the same name in 1950.

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
