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
Die Vermittlung französischer Literatur nach Deutschland zwischen 1871 und 1933
No full textIn ihrer Untersuchung der Vermittlung französischer Literatur nach Deutschland im politisch brisanten Zeitraum zwischen 1871 bis 1933 widmet sich Nathalie Mälzer-Semlinger einem bisher unerforschten Teilgebiet der Rezeptionsforschung und geht dabei der Frage nach, wie der literarische Austausch zweier Länder vor dem Hintergrund politischer Feindschaft denkbar ist.
Hierfür erschließt sie einen breiten Textkorpus, der zum einen die Übersetzungen französischer Romane ins Deutsche und zum anderen die Zeitschriftenrezensionen zu dieser Literatur umfasst, und erforscht die Verknüpfung von politischem Kontext und Literaturübersetzen in dieser Epoche. Dabei fördert sie neue Erkenntnisse im Hinblick auf die Entwicklung und Ökonomisierung des Buch- und Zeitschriftenmarkts zutage und gewährt einen intensiven Einblick in die Sichtweise, unter welcher die französische Literatur und ihre Übersetzungen in den Zeitschriften rezensiert werden.
So zeigt sich, dass das Interesse der Rezensenten an der Literatur des Nachbarn durchaus nicht selbstlos, sondern von der Parteilichkeit der Kritiker geprägt ist: Nationalstolz und Abschottungstendenzen gehen im kritischen Diskurs Hand in Hand mit Bewunderung und Interesse an der Literatur des Nachbarn und führen zu widersprüchlichen Positionen und Wertungen. Angesichts der großen Übersetzungsaktivität erscheint die Feindschaft letztlich aber weniger als Hemmnis denn als wichtige Motivation des deutsch-französischen Kulturaustauschs dieser Jahre
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
