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
Les pratiques de commoning pour nourrir la régénérescence des SCIC ? Le cas d’une coopérative culturelle.
No full textInternational audienceMultistakeholder cooperatives (SCICs in French law) hold out the hope of a participatory and democratic revival to meet local needs. As alternatives, however, they are subject to a process of degeneration that jeopardizes their political project and democratic functioning. Within the literature studying the practices and processes that organizations put in place to combat this degeneration, SCICs occupy a marginal place. Yet their multi-stakeholder nature, social utility and local roots make them a resilient form with strong potential for regeneration. Our paper is in line with this approach, and proposes to explore the regenerative practices of SCICs by comparing this literature with that on commoning, seen as a process of collective organization around a common resource, regulated by co-constructed rules in perpetual adaptation. By carrying out an ethnographic case study of a cultural SCIC in a phase of organizational regeneration, we propose to see commoning practices as strengthening SCICs' capacity for regeneration. We then identify the modalities of commoning, such as the creation of conditions for inclusive participation, the elaboration of evolving frameworks, democratic revisibility, and we define cooperation as continuous learning requiring a perpetual reinvention of its frameworks and rules.Les SCIC sont porteuses d’un espoir de renouveau participatif et démocratique pour répondre aux besoins des territoires. En tant qu’alternatives, elles sont cependant sujettes au processus de dégénérescence qui met en péril leur projet politique ou leur fonctionnement démocratique. Au sein de la littérature étudiant les pratiques et processus que les organisations mettent en place pour lutter contre cette dégénérescence, les SCIC occupent une place marginale. Pourtant, leur forme multi-parties prenantes, leur utilité sociale et leur ancrage local, en font une forme résiliente à fort potentiel de régénérescence. Notre communication s’inscrit dans cette lignée et propose d’explorer les pratiques régénératives des SCIC en rapprochant cette littérature de celle sur le commoning, vu comme un processus d’organisation collective autour d’une ressource commune, régulé par des règles co-construites en perpétuelle adaptation. En réalisant une étude de cas ethnographique sur une SCIC culturelle en phase de régénérescence organisationnelle, nous proposons de voir dans les pratiques de commoning un renforcement des capacités de régénérescence des SCIC. Nous identifions alors les modalités du commoning tels que la création des conditions de la participation inclusive, l’élaboration de cadres évolutifs, la révisabilité démocratique, et nous définissons la coopération comme apprentissage continu nécessitant une perpétuelle réinvention de ses cadres et règles
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
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
