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
Prática em Construção: Uma Autoetnografia Musicoterapêutica em Chave Descolonial
No full textEste artículo ofrece una reflexión auto etnográfica sobre el pensamiento decolonial en musicoterapia. A partir de experiencias personales, siendo un musicoterapeuta mexicano radicado en Alemania (trabajando con personas desplazadas, colaborando en proyectos comunitarios en México y Filipinas, y participando en redes internacionales de investigación), se analizan las formas en que las perspectivas decoloniales en la musicoterapia atraviesan la práctica musicoterapéutica del autor. Se recuperan aportes clave de autores que han escrito acerca del decolonialismo, como Enrique Dussel, Ramón Grosfoguel, Aníbal Quijano y Silvia Rivera Cusicanqui; así como de colegas que han abordado críticamente la colonialidad en el campo de la musicoterapia, como es el caso del CAMTI Collective. El texto propone una mirada transmoderna y pluriversal, reconociendo el valor del conocimiento situado, la subjetividad y el diálogo intercultural. Se ofrecen además nociones de cómo se usan estos términos en las experiencias y el pensamiento del autor. A partir de esta perspectiva, se invita a pensar la decolonización no como un objetivo alcanzable, sino como una práctica ética, crítica y en permanente construcción, que requiere sostener un cierto grado de incomodidad con las estructuras cambiantes del saber y la práctica, reconocer contradicciones y abrir espacios de diálogo.
Comentario Editorial
El autor ha vivido en muchos sitios y reflexiona sobre ello en este ensayo, en el que nos invita a alejarnos de posiciones dogmáticas cuando nos encontramos con el trabajo de colegas que pertenecen a sociedades distintas a las propias. Como dice Samuel, “el hecho de estar inmersos en sistemas coloniales implica que hay dinámicas de las cuales no podemos escapar completamente.” Su propuesta nos parece sensible hacia los factores culturales de las prácticas profesionales, pero también exigente en lo que hace al pensamiento crítico y al análisis que ellas requieren.Este artigo oferece uma reflexão auto etnográfica sobre o pensamento decolonial na musicoterapia.

O autor viveu em muitos lugares e reflete sobre isso neste ensaio, no qual nos convida a nos afastarmos de posições dogmáticas quando nos deparamos com o trabalho de colegas que pertencem a sociedades diferentes das nossas.

Based on personal experiences as a Mexican music therapist based in Germany (working with displaced persons, collaborating on community projects in Mexico and the Philippines, and participating in international research networks), the author analyzes the ways in which decolonial perspectives in music therapy permeate his music therapy practice. Key contributions from authors who have written about decolonialism, suchas Enrique Dussel, Ramón Grosfoguel, Aníbal Quijano, and Silvia Rivera Cusicanqui, are revisited, as are those from colleagues who have critically addressed coloniality in the field of music therapy, such as the CAMTI Collective. The text proposes a transmodern and pluriversal perspective, recognizing the value of situated knowledge, subjectivity, and intercultural dialogue. It also offers insights into how these terms are used in the author’s experiences and thinking. From this perspective, we are invited to think of decolonization not as an achievable goal, but as an ethical, critical, and constantly evolving practice that requires maintaining a certain degree of discomfort with changing structures of knowledge and practice, recognizing contradictions, and opening spaces for dialogue.
Editorial Comment
The author has lived in many places and reflects on this in his essay, in which he invites us to move away from dogmatic positions when we encounter the work of colleagues who belong to societies different from our own. As Samuel says, being immersed in colonial systems means that there are dynamics from which we cannot completely escape.” We find his proposal sensitive to the cultural factors of professional practices, but also demanding in terms of the critical thinking and analysis they require
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
