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
Do we know who our students are? A culturally responsive pedagogy
No full textThis panel discussion was organised by the Education Studies department, University of Birmingham, as part of the Education Leadership Academy series. Aminul Hoque presents as part of a panel discussion that explores how Muslim children can be integrated better in mainstream schooling, and argues that a culturally responsive pedagogy is important in this debate.
In the superdiverse context of Birmingham schools, Asian and Muslim children have a significant presence.

A very British history: British Bangladeshis - (screening)
No full textThis event was a live screening of Aminul Hoque's BBC4 documentary A Very British History: British Bangladeshis (2020) and a subsequent panel discussion and live Q&A, as part of the Freedom and Independence Theatre Festival, Season of Bangla Drama, hosted by Tower Hamlets Council.
This personal and historical documentary is also global story. It examines migration, struggle, resistance, sacrifice, hope and triumph. It is a very human story, a very ‘British’ story. Dr Aminul Hoque interviews his father as he recalls the racism and isolation he experienced in the 1960s and 70s. He speaks to the ‘invisible’ heroines (Bangladeshi women) who worked 24/7 as seamstresses within the confines of their homes. Aminul also goes back to the village of his birth in Sylhet, Bangladesh with his British-born kids. He wants to see whether they feel a sense of connection to a place that they have never visited before. Followed by some brief reflections from Aminul Hoque and Adam Keelan, and a Q&A
session chaired by Dr Layli Uddin

British 'others'
Full text linkHow does it feel to be perceived as the violent, terrorist, un-British 'other', to be a minority in a majority situation, to have no sense of belonging, to be voiceless, marginalised and invisible?
Dr Hoque will examine these complex issues through the lives and multifaceted identities of six British-born third-generation Bangladeshis from East London. Do they see themselves as Bangladeshi, British, Muslim, Londoners, none of these or a fusion of them all? Their stories are powerful, clear and unsettling, charting their journeys from invisibility to visibility and from the periphery to the core of British social life. With a sense of displacement, alienation and non-belonging, we gain a better understanding and insight into the sociocultural worlds that many of our young people are
living in
