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
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

Full text linkLe « sacre » dont les écrivains romantiques sont l’objet et la reconnaissance qu’ils obtiennent n’ont d’égal que la réprobation et le silence qui entourent les romancières sorties de la retenue prescrite à leur sexe, pour embrasser une carrière artistique peu compatible avec l’idéologie de la féminité qui s’impose alors. Cette différence de condition, conséquence du système de domination fondé sur la différence des sexes, s’observe dans la fiction romantique et donne naissance à un « autre ma..
Françoise GENEVRAY, George Sand et ses contemporains russes, audience, échos, réécritures, Paris, L'Harmattan, 2000, 412 p.
Full text linkL'auteure se propose d'évaluer l'influence de George Sand sur ses contemporains russes en se fondant principalement sur trois figures de la littérature de cette aire géographique et culturelle : Herzen, Belinski et Dostoïevski. Le choix de ces personnalités serait à la fois motivé par la place importante qu'ils ont tenue dans leur société et dans leur siècle, mais aussi par les besoins de la recherche, des études ayant été menées sur la réception de G. Sand à partir d'autres auteurs co..
Le genre de l’homme sensible dans le premier XIXe siècle. Esquisse d’une masculinité équivoque
No full textSi, au XVIIIe siècle, la sensibilité était attachée à la raison et à la recherche du bonheur, au tournant du siècle suivant elle se voit, sous la plume des écrivains contre-révolutionnaires, retranchée du côté du sentiment et de l’obscure mélancolie. Ainsi, les héros romantiques dont le moi exulte, au sein des fictions, opposent à la virilité et aux codes de l’honneur défendus par le discours social bourgeois dominant, un idéal « sensible » qui repose sur l’exaltation du sentiment et la sublimation de « la » femme aimée. C’est à partir d’un panel d’écrits autobiographiques et de correspondances que nous aimerions explorer les différentes dimensions du modèle « masculin sensible » proposé par les romantiques ainsi que ses échos au sein de la société. Afin d’explorer ces aspects, nous nous attacherons dans un premier temps à la mise en scène du cadre solitaire qui permet l’expression de la sensibilité conçue comme un code identitaire implicite, puis nous l’envisagerons comme mode de rapport à l’autre sexe.In the eighteenth century, sensitivity was associated with reason and the pursuit of happiness, but at the turn of the following century, under the pen of counter-revolutionary writers, it was relegated to the side of sentiment and obscure melancholy. Thus, the Romantic heroes whose egos exulted in fiction opposed the virility and codes of honour defended by the dominant bourgeois social discourse with a ‘sensitive’ ideal based on the exaltation of sentiment and the sublimation of ‘the’ beloved woman. Using a range of autobiographical writings and correspondence, we here explore the various dimensions of the ’sensitive male’ model proposed by the Romantics, as well as its echoes within society. In order to explore these aspects, we will first focus on the staging of the solitary setting that allows the expression of sensitivity conceived as an implicit identity code, and then we will consider it as a way of relating to the other sex
