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
La Place de l'Elbe inférieure dans le commerce triangulaire au milieu du XVIIe siècle
No full textStudies on the part played by the Lower Elbe in 17th century slave-trading are not numerous. The subject is rather a complex one because it involves Danish and Swedish interests in that region. The author had use of Danish and Swedish publications as well as existing records at the Rigsarkiv in Copenhagen. Like the Danes after the Thirty Years' War, the Swedes wanted to take part in African and East Indian commerce through slave-trading from the Lower Elbe. Their point of departure was to be Stade, which had fallen under Swedish domination. At the same time they were relying on the capital of the Hamburg merchants. The Danes, with their fortress at Glückstadt, were in the same position. Swedish operations began in 1648. They were to be interrupted by the war with Denmark. After the peace-treaty, they tried taking up their expeditions once more but they soon failed as a resuit of Dutch opposition. Danish expeditions from Glückstadt began in 1640 and they succeeded in taking root on the African coast during the war with Sweden, and then encountered difficulties with the Dutch. In 1671 there was an attempt at concentrating activities in Copenhagen, and the year after that the island of St. Thomas was occupied.Sur la place de l'Elbe inférieure dans la traite des Noirs au milieu du XVIIe siècle, il n'y a que peu d'études ; le sujet est assez complexe parce qu'il touche aux intérêts des Danois comme des Suédois dans la région. L'auteur a utilisé les publications suédoises et danoises et la documentation existant au Rigsarkiv à Copenhague. Les Suédois comme les Danois tentèrent après la guerre de Trente ans d'entrer, à partir de l'Elbe inférieure, dans le commerce africain et antillais en pratiquant la traite des Noirs. Pour eux le point d'appui devait être Stade qui était passé sous domination suédoise. Au même temps on comptait sur les capitaux des marchands de Hambourg. C'était le cas aussi des Danois avec leur forteresse de Glückstadt. Les opérations des Suédois commencent en 1648. Elles sont interrompues par la guerre suédo-danoise. Après la paix ils tentèrent de reprendre leurs expéditions, mais ils échouèrent bientôt par suite de l'opposition des Hollandais. Les expéditions des Danois à partir de Glückstadt commencèrent en 1640 et ils réussirent pendant la guerre suédo-danoise à prendre pied sur la côte africaine, mais bientôt ils eurent des difficultés avec les Hollandais. A partir de 1671, on essaya de concentrer l'activité à Copenhague, et l'année suivante l'île de Saint-Thomas fut occupée.Kellenbenz Hermann, Grupp Peter.
