The new watchdogs’ vision of science: A roundtable with Ivan Oransky (<i>Retraction Watch</i>) and Brandon Stell (<i>PubPeer</i>)
No full text On March 3rd, 2016, the authors of this note hosted a conference entitled ‘Destabilized Science’ at the University of California, Los Angeles, to which we invited two representatives of core actors within the new science watchdog pack: Ivan Oransky, co-founder in 2010 of Retraction Watch, and Brandon Stell, co-founder in 2012 of PubPeer. After the formal conference, we organized a roundtable to discuss these invitees’ experience and their vision of contemporary science. Mario Biagioli (University of California, Davis), Michael Chwe (UCLA) and Aaron Panofsky (UCLA) participated to the conversation. An edited transcript of the discussion and a short podcast version are being published on Transmissions ( ssstransmissions.org ) the new blog associated with Social Studies of Science. </jats:p
Salami slicing and other kinds of scientific misconduct: A faux pas for the author, a disaster for science
Get PDFAs part of the research project “Summa cum fraude – Wissenschaftliches Fehlverhalten und der Versuch einer Gegenoffensive” at Saarland University (funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft DFG) an interview with Ivan Oransky in October 2022 was conducted. He became well-known for co-founding the Retraction Watch Database and the Retraction Watch blog, which covers topics such as retracting published articles or exposing misconduct in science.Im Rahmen des von der Deutschen Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) geförderten Forschungsprojekts „Summa cum fraude – Wissenschaftliches Fehlverhalten und der Versuch einer Gegenoffensive[*]“ an der Universität des Saarlandes wurde im Herbst 2022 ein Interview mit Ivan Oransky geführt. Er wurde in Fachkreisen bekannt als Mitbegründer der Datenbank Retraction Watch und des Retraction Watch Blogs, in dem unter anderem Themen wie das Zurückziehen von veröffentlichten Beiträgen oder das Aufdecken von Fehlverhalten in der Wissenschaft behandelt werden

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
