CAMEOs of a Researcher: Marcia J. Bates
No full textThis is a presentation (of 16 slides) in Session 3.1 - Contemporary Intellectual History: Reflections on the Work of Marcia J. Bates, on Wednesday, Jan. 12, at the 2005 ALISE Conference. The work of Marcia J. Bates is discussed by concentrating on 1) her research areas, and 2) her citation records. Bates' work is portrayed in four different ways: descriptors assigned to her works over time, her citation identity (authors whom she cites), her citation image-makers (authors who cite her), and her citation images (authors co-cited with her)
Marcia J. Bates: Past -- >Present -- >Future
No full textThis panel session explores, critiques, and celebrates the work of canonical information scientist, Marcia J. Bates. To begin, Dr. Jenna Hartel will survey her oeuvre. Then, three of Hartel’s graduate students will report on their semester-long explorations of a singular conceptby Bates. Each student’s talk will feature a summary and critical examination of the seminal idea in its original historical context. Then, the same concept will be considered in the light of this Information Age. Following each talk, Marcia J. Bates will share her reflections. Ample time will be provided for discussion among Dr. Bates, the panelists, and attendees

Castles and Inverted Castles: The work of Marcia J. Bates
No full textA total of 32 slides were presented in Session 3.1 â Contemporary Intellectual History: Reflections on the Work of Marcia J. Bates, at the 2005 ALISE Conference. The presentation uses â castleâ and â inverted castleâ as metaphors for Batesâ work. It concludes that Bates has created â castlesâ and â inverted castlesâ across the field of Library and Information Science, that clarify, structuralize, and popularize key notions about information. The work of Bates and influence on others is discussed

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
