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

From the personal to the political, from the political to the personal : the experience of sexual liberation of activists of the Women's Movement in Brittany and the Pays de la Loire region (1970-1981)
No full textEn 1970 émerge en France le Mouvement de libération des femmes (MLF), dans la foulée du mouvement de Mai 68. Des femmes se regroupent pour lutter contre les inégalités entre les femmes et les hommes et contre la domination masculine. Des dynamiques locales particulières existent comme parfois une distanciation avec un MLF perçu comme parisien, dont cette thèse souhaite rendre compte par le choix de l’expression « Mouvement de femmes » plutôt que MLF. La Bretagne et les Pays de la Loire sont deux régions fortement marquées par une tradition religieuse catholique et par des mobilisations sociales qui construisent une certaine identité historique et culturelle régionale. Les militantes féministes de l’Ouest, comme dans le reste de la France, luttent d’abord pour l’accès à la contraception et la légalisation de l’avortement. Elles s’emparent d’autres sujets tels que le viol, les violences conjugales, la réification du corps des femmes. Elles s'interrogent sur l'identité et la sexualité lesbienne et portent l’affirmation que le privé est politique. Une certaine « libération sexuelle » se traduit par des changements législatifs ainsi que par une transformation des modèles familiaux et relationnels. Cette thèse interroge la « libération sexuelle » perçue et vécue par les militantes bretonnes et ligériennes au regard de leur parcours féministe. Elle en mesure les traductions personnelles comme les limitesIn 1970, the Women's Liberation Movement (MLF) emerged in France in the wake of May 68. Women saw themselves coming together to fight against inequalities between women and men, and male domination. Specific local dynamics existed as well as the desire to distance themselves from the MLF, perceived as Parisian, which this thesis wishes to highlight in opting for the expression "Women's Movement", rather than MLF. Brittany and the Pays de la Loire are two regions that have been heavily influenced by Catholic religious tradition as well as social mobilizations that forge a certain historical, cultural and regional identity. Feminist activists in the West, as in the rest of France, fought first for access to contraception and the legalization of abortion. They also addressed other issues such as rape, domestic violence and the objectification of women's bodies. They questioned themselves on identity and lesbian sexuality, bringing up the assertation that the personal is indeed political. A certain "sexual liberation" is reflected in legislative changes as well as in the transformation of family and relationship models. This thesis examines the "sexual liberation" perceived and experienced by activists of the Breton and Loire regions in relation to their feminist paths. The aim here is to reveal the personal manifestations of these convictions, as well as their limits
