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
Hélios Figuerola Pujol, Les Dieux, les paroles et les hommes. Rituels dans une communauté maya du Chiapas
No full textEn ces temps où certains considèrent que l’on peut établir des hiérarchies entre les civilisations, entre les cultures, un livre comme celui d’Hélios Figuerola Pujol se révèle indispensable, démontrant que l’ethnologie est aussi un « sport de combat », comme disait Pierre Bourdieu à propos de la sociologie. Son étude très précise de la communauté indienne maya tzeltal de Cancuc, dans l’état du Chiapas au Mexique, nous expose la richesse culturelle d’une société très éloignée de la nôtre, et, ..
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
Mafia et comportements mafieux
No full textDans le film Gomorra , consa-cré à la mafia napolitaine, on pouvait voir les rites initiatiques, la structuration hiérarchique et familiale du sous-prolétariat mafieux. On découvrait également les rapports d'intérêts qui reliaient la Camorra et l'économie capita-liste, au travers de l'enfouissement illégal des déchets industriels européens. Nous retrouvons dans ce numéro de la revue Illusio ces rites initiatiques, cette logique de domination, cette structuration familiale. Mais de manière plu..
Dominique Goux, Eric Maurin, Les nouvelles classes moyennes
No full textLe livre de Dominique Goux et Éric Maurin peut apparaître comme une réponse à celui de Louis Chauvel, Les classes moyennes à la dérive, paru en 2006 chez le même éditeur et dans la même collection. Les auteurs s’opposent ainsi aux présentations déclinistes des classes moyennes, et plus particulièrement au déclassement générationnel et à la paupérisation soulignés par Louis Chauvel et par d’autres sociologues. Cet ouvrage prolonge le travail précédent d’Éric Maurin, La peur du déclassement. Un..
Anne Cheng, La Chine pense-t-elle ?
No full textLe premier cours au Collège de France d’Anne Cheng répond aux critères formels des leçons inaugurales : situer ses travaux par rapport à ses prédécesseurs et les inscrire dans les derniers développements de la recherche. Anne Cheng, professeure à l'Institut national des langues et civilisations orientales entre 1997 et 2008, occupe, depuis 2008, la chaire d’Histoire intellectuelle de la Chine, sa leçon inaugurale ayant été donnée en décembre 2008 (l’édition électronique de ce texte, par le Co..
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
