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
William J. Hamilton, Jr. of Cornell, The Man and the Myth
Full text linkWilliam J. Hamilton, Jr. was a prominent Professor of Mammalogy who was beloved by his students and peers. Bill entered Cornell as an undergraduate in 1920 and stayed until his death in 1990. Professor Hamilton helped found the Department of Conservation in 1947, which was the precursor to the Department of Natural Resources. During his 33 years as a professor, he directed 60 graduate students and was on the thesis committee of 150. Bill was a meticulous note taker, and encouraged his students to do the same. He was a great naturalist whose specialty in mammalogy only exceeded his knowledge in other fields of natural history. Throughout his life he supported the study of ?Backyard Biology? ? the belief that scientific wonders could be discovered at your own doorstep. He was an avid gardener who introduced many garden species to New York State. ?Wild Bill?, as he was known, was famous for his tall tales and practical jokes. Oftentimes, this jesting was focused on teaching his students a lesson, or exposing the faults in that person?s knowledge. His academic honors included publishing over 230 scholarly articles, serving as the president of the American Society of Mammalogists and as the president of the Ecological Society of America. His textbook, Mammals of Eastern North America, became the textbook of choice for decades and to this day has remained a critical resource for students. Through personal interviews, archival research and contact with the Hamilton family, the author has created an abbreviated biography
