    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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

    We 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

    The time of the ghosts of The 53 Stations of the Yōkaidō: Mizuki Shigeru and Aby Warburg

    No ano de 2008, Mizuki Shigeru (1922-2015) publicou no Japão As 53 Estações da Yōkaidō, uma obra em formato de livro que consiste na versão que o artista de mangá fez de As 53 Estações da Tōkaidō, de Andō Hiroshige. Através do recurso retórico do mitate, Mizuki colocou em marcha pela estrada que ligava Edo a Quioto os personagens que consagraram sua carreira, GeGeGe no Kitarō e sua turma. As imagens ukiyo-e são também palco da aparição de mais de duzentos yōkai, parte da compilação feita pelo mangaka durante uma vida de trabalho de resgate desses seres da cultura popular do Japão pré-moderno e de inserção dos mesmos nas mídias contemporâneas. A difusão cada vez maior dos temas ligados ao universo sobrenatural e fantástico japonês no Ocidente, por meio de uma vasta diversidade de meios culturais, soma-se à intensa veiculação de imagens no mundo atual. Com a demanda de nossa atenção, estudo e compreensão por aquilo que nos atravessa e forja subjetividades e discursos, essa pesquisa tomou como arquivo as 55 ilustrações de As 53 Estações da Yōkaidō, para investigá-las sob a égide do pensamento do historiador alemão da cultura Aby Moritz Warburg (1866-1929). O objetivo era estudar principalmente os conceitos warburguianos de pós-vida ou sobrevivência (Nachleben) e também das fórmulas de páthos (Pathosformeln) nas imagens dessa obra de Mizuki, na tentativa de responder, na medida do possível, ao desafio de decifrá-las, imposto em grande parte pelo anacronismo nelas presente. A desmontagem dos elementos das Estações selecionadas e o subsequente levantamento de seus conteúdos histórico-culturais, juntamente com a identificação dos jogos de força conflitantes - os quais fazem irromper o recalcado nos pontos de fratura dessas imagens - revelaram que em meio ao humor e ao lúdico jazem, artisticamente reapropriadas, sobrevivências fantasmagóricas de tempos imemoriais, atualizadas na história do Japão do século XX.In 2008, Mizuki Shigeru (1922-2015) published in Japan The 53 Seasons of Yōkaidō, a book-format work that consists of the manga artist\'s version of Andō Hiroshige\'s The 53 Seasons of Tōkaidō. Through the rhetorical resource of the mitate, Mizuki set in motion along the road that connected Edo to Kyoto the characters that enshrined his career, GeGeGe no Kitarō and his team. The ukiyo-e images are also the stage for the appearance of more than two hundred yōkai, part of the compilation made by mangaka during a lifetime of rescue work of these beings from pre-modern Japan\'s popular culture and their insertion in contemporary media. The increasing spread of themes related to the Japanese supernatural and fantastic universe in the West, through a vast diversity of cultural media, is added to the intense placement of images in the current world. With the demand for our attention, study and understanding about what gets through us and forges subjectivities and discourses, this research took the 55 illustrations of The 53 Stations of Yōkaidō as an archive, to investigate them under the aegis of the thought of the German cultural historian Aby Moritz Warburg (1866-1929). The objective was to study mainly the Warburguian concepts of post-life or survival (Nachleben) and also of the pathos formulas (Pathosformeln) in the images of Mizuki\'s work, in an attempt to respond, as far as possible, to the challenge of deciphering them, largely imposed by the anachronism present in them. The dismantling of the elements of the selected Stations and the subsequent survey of their historical-cultural contents, together with the identification of conflicting power games - which cause the repression to break out at the fracture points of these images - revealed that amid humor and playfulness lie, artistically reappropriated, ghostly survivals from immemorial times, updated in the history of 20th century Japan

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    Get PDF
    We 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

    koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist

    No full text
    We 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
