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
Erich Fromm und die Kritische Theorie des Subjekts
No full textVon den früheren Mitarbeitern des Instituts für Sozialforschung hat Erich Fromm
am spätesten, jedoch vielleicht am nachhaltigsten literarische Wirkung entfaltet. Während die in der Emigration geschriebene Dialektik der Aufklärung (1947) und die Aufsätze Horkheimers aus der Zeitschrift für Sozialforschung (1932-1941) z. Zt. der Studentenbewegung eine größere Verbreitung erfuhren, die jedoch im wesentlichen auf die akademische Jugend beschränkt blieb, haben die in hohen Auflagen verbreiteten Schriften Fromms über Die Kunst des Liebens (1956a) und Haben oder Sein (1976a) auch bei einem nichtakademischen Publikum überaus starke Resonanz gefunden. Zumindest in Lesezirkeln an Volkshochschulen, aber auch in der grün-alternativen Szene ist die Nachfrage nach Lebenshilfe, wie sie viele Leser in den Schriften Fromms zu finden scheinen, beträchtlich.
Ist Erich Fromm also in erster Linie als eine Leitfigur der Alternativbewegung
zu verstehen? Auch wenn es verlockend erscheint, diesem Aspekt der Rezeptionsgeschichtegenauer nachzugehen, wäre es doch eine unzulässige Verkürzung, wenn man ihn nur nach seinen späteren, populär geschriebenen Bestsellern und nicht nach dem wissenschaftlichen Anspruch seines Gesamtwerks beurteilen wollte. Da Fromm seinen grundlegenden theoretischen Ansatz, die Analytische Sozialpsychologie, bereits in den frühen Aufsätzen in der Zeitschrift für Sozialforschung (E. Fromm, 1932a, 1932b; GA I, S. 37-77) ausgearbeitet hat, ist es vielmehr näherliegend, ihn der Kritischen Theorie zuzurechnen, auch wenn deren Hauptvertreter Adorno, Horkheimer und Marcuse sich später von ihm distanzierten. Nach der im Jahre 1939 erfolgten Trennung vom Institut wurde Fromms eigene Version von Kritischer Theorie, speziell sein Verständnis von Psychoanalyse, als "revisionistisch" abgetan und Adorno wie Horkheimer unterlagen der Versuchung, auch die früheren Beiträge Fromms aus Verärgerung oder Ressentiment schlicht totzuschweigen. Erst durch J. Habermas (1977; 1981, Bd. II, S. 557f.) und die theoriegeschichtlich orientierten Studien von M. Jay (1973, S. 195ff.), W. Bonß (1980; 1982), H. Dubiel (1978, S. 174ff.) und R. Wiggershaus (1986, S. 174ff.) ist der Anteil, den Erich Fromm in der frühen Phase der Kritischen Theorie an der theoretischen und empirischen Arbeit des Instituts hatte, in einer Weise dargestellt worden, die seiner tatsächlichen Bedeutung eher gerecht wird. Mit dieser späten Anerkennung ist jedoch eine gewisse Engführung verbunden: Als authentische Beiträge zur Kritischen Theorie werden, wie bei H. Dahmer (1982, S. 300ff.), nur diejenigen Arbeiten Fromms angesehen, die aus der Zeit seiner Institutszugehörigkeit in den Dreißiger Jahren stammen. Nach Adornos Abrechnung mit den Neo-Freudianern und vollends nach der mit Heftigkeit geführten Revisionismus-Debatte in den Fünfziger Jahren (vgl. die Beiträge von Bierhoff und Rickert in diesem Band) galt Fromms spätere Lesart der Psychoanalyse dagegen lange Zeit als "Verstümmelung" (H. Marcuse, 1969, S. 268) und "Entmannung" (ders., 1977, S. 270) der wahren Freudschen Lehre. Erst die Beiträge von A. Lorenzer und B. Görlich (1980) suchen die Diskussion zu versachlichen.Fromms contribution to the Critical Theory was long underestimated. Whereas
the conception of an analytical social psychology and the studies on the authoritarian character type - both of which were developed during the 30s - invariably come in for mention in the more recent reception accorded the Frankfurt School, little attention has so far been paid to those writings by Fromm siding with the Critical Theory which appeared in the wake of "Escape from Freedom" (1941). A decisive factor here was the negative judgement passed by former colleagues upon Fromms "revisionistic" position following the so- called "culturism debate". The present essay highlights the extent to which Fromm was consistently concerned to develop a critical theory of subject. This not only implies a critical stance to the characterological structures prevalent in capitalist society but also a humanistic interpretation of the "true" way of life. The thesis is advanced that a critical theory of subject must not confine itself to a "negative" anthropology but rather develop ethical perspectives for both the individual and society.unknownunknow
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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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 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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
