    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

    El capital social: De la teoría a la práctica el banco mundial en el campo mexicano

    No full text
    This work explores various interaction processes among the Mexican state, the World Bank and a series of Mexican social and civil actors, from the perspective of the evolution of six rural development projects financed by the World Bank during the 1990s. The paper documents the institutional dynamics of rural projects that were implemented after WB's socio-environmental reforms that were intended for poverty eradication or categorized as "green" programs. Outcomes reveal that goals were seldom attained, being therefore impossible to promote institutional contexts favorable to social capital's strengthening of peasant and indigenous autonomous organizations. Approaches aimed at promoting social capital should identify obstacles since the very beginning, and transcend or neutralize them in order to foster the "virtuous circles" that generate social capital accumulation

    REPENSAR LO RURAL ANTE LA GLOBALIZACIÓN: LA SOCIEDAD CIVIL MIGRANTE

    No full text
    One of each eight adult Mexicans resides in the United States. The rural-rural component of this migrationary process explains a growing ruralization of the Mexican population in the United States. It could be surmised that the migrants have opted to exit rather than use their voice; nevertheless many of them are exercising their voice from what might be termed the ‘migrant civil society’ via (i) community- based social organizations; (ii) civil organizations controlled or influenced by migrants; (iii) means of communication controlled or influenced by migrants; and (iv) autonomous public spaces

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    Full text link
    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

    Exit follow by voice: Mexico's migrant civil society

    No full text
    This chapter asks where migrants fit into the debate over how rural citizens can encourage public accountability, drawing on Hirschman's framework of ‘exit, voice, and loyalty’. Though migrants chose exit, they continue to express loyalty by exercising cross-border voice in their home communities, as well exercising voice by constructing a multi-faceted public sphere. This chapter explores how migrants have forged collective civic, social, and political identities, transcending kinship networks and micro-level transnational communities. A new generation of organized migrants is engaging with both US and Mexican states and societies at the same time, constructing practices of ‘civic binationality’ that challenge nationalist pressures to define their engagements in terms of mutually exclusive nation-states. The empirical discussion compares a range of organizations that emerge from different migrant collective identities, including territorial, religious, worker, and ethnic-based forms of membership
