Full text linkIt is ironic that immigrant women who provide our society with the most intimate care services are treated as if they are invisible, or at best disposable. Immigrant women will not tolerate being condemned to do the caring and the dirty work for other people, only to be dumped like toxic waste when their services are no longer needed.

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
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
Minor infrastructures: genre and petroleum politics in the music of Grace Chang and Fela Kuti
No full textThis article explores the intersections of global energy infrastructures and musical genre formation, focusing on the careers of Grace Chang and Fela Kuti. The transition from coal to petroleum reshaped political and social landscapes globally. This transition influenced various industries, including music and film, by changing the material conditions that underpinned cultural production. This article argues that the concept of genre itself functions as an infrastructure, a symbolic object that encapsulates social, economic, and political conditions. Genres like jazz, mambo, and Afro-Beat, though rooted in the Black Atlantic’s history of resource extraction and slavery, evolved through local adaptations and responses to global changes. The cases of Chang and Kuti highlight the importance of examining these “minor infrastructures” to understand the broader processes of musical globalization. By focusing on the meso-level – between global macro-processes and local micro-histories – the article seeks to provide a nuanced understanding of how genres develop and transform. It critiques monolithic narratives of global music history, emphasizing the complex entanglements of material conditions and cultural practices. This article calls for an approach that considers the multifaceted and dynamic nature of genre formation, shaped by both global energy politics and local cultural contexts
