No full textIn this letter of January 13, 1862, John J. Buchanan writes to his brother C. S. Buchanan from Beaufort District, South Carolina. John Buchanan acknowledges that he received C. S. Buchanan's letter with heartbreaking news and feels mournful. He has the measles, but is getting better, and he urges the boys of Jackson County to not join W. H. Thomas’s new company
A Economia Constitucional: o Estado e as instituições na visão de um individualista radical (J. Buchanan)
No full textCe texte exprime l’intérêt analytique de l’auteur pour le rôle de l’Etat et l’Etat comme un objet de l’analyse économique. Toutefois, son contenu est beaucoup plus spécifique: il se concentre sur la contribution de J. Buchanan dans la formulation du programme de recherche connu comme “l’économie constitutionnelle”. L’empreinte laissée par cet auteur est très forte du fait de ses vues individualistes, subjectives et délibérément conservatrices. Mais son analyse a tout de même un degré de sophistication suffisant pour traiter de thèmes aussi intéressants que celui des décisions individuelles qui confèrent des mandats constitutionnels ou des délégations de pouvoir ou encore celui relatif à l’idée que la sphère publique comprend des relations institutionnelles complexes. L’auteur traite ici de questions présentées dans une oeuvre relative à l’importance des normes et des institutions, en marquant toujours ses profondes divergences avec le contenu rigide, doctrinal et idéologique de la théorie.This text expresses the author’s analytical interest in the role of the state and the state as an object of economic analysis. Its content, however, is much more specific: it focusses on the contribution of J. Buchanan in the formulation of the research agenda known as “constitutional economics”. The hallmark of this theorist is very strong due to his individualistic, subjective and deliberately conservative views. But his analysis also bears the required sophistication to address such stimulating subjects as individual decisions conferring constitutional mandates and delegations or the idea that the public sphere comprises institutional relationships. The author deals here with some of the issues present in a work concerned with the importance of norms and institutions, keeping always his strong divergencies regarding the rigid doctrinal and ideological content of the theory.Este texto enquadra-se nos interesses do autor pelo Estado e pelo lugar que a economia lhe tem reservado enquanto objecto de análise. Mas o seu conteúdo é muito mais específico: centra-se na contribuição de J. Buchanan para a formulação do programa de investigação designado “economia constitucional”. A marca deste autor é muito forte, pois a sua análise é individualista, subjectivista e deliberadamente conservadora. Mas a análise tem também o grau de sofisticação suficiente para que se assinalem temas interessantes como o das decisões individuais que conferem mandatos e delegações constitucionais ou o da noção que a esfera pública comporta complexas relações institucionais. É, pois, de alguns dos temas de uma obra atenta à importância das normas e das instituições que aqui se trata, salvaguardando sempre as fortes divergências com o rígido conteúdo doutrinário e ideológico da teoria

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
