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
Square Dancing with the Stars to Enhance Dynamic Hirschman Linkages?
In this Presidential Address, the author takes the reader on a reconnaissance of his life and time as a regional scientist. He points out scenery he found scintillating along the way, hoping that some may pick up the banner and chew on a few of the ideas for a while. He suggests a revisit to Albert O. Hirschman’s notion of key sectors and more empirical analysis related to Marcus Berliant’s and Masahisa Fujita’s notion of knowledge creation and transfer.Presidential Address, San Antonio, Texas, March 29, 2014 (53rd Meetings of the Southern Regional Science Association
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
Un verano de 1928
[EN] How to talk about an event that has already been told and commented on many times? The creation of the International Congress of Modern Architecture in La Sarraz in June 1928 is one of them. After the epic accounts of the first heroes of the "modern" adventure, historians have been more critical, circumspect, even suspicious or reproachful. Would we be in front of a myth built from scratch? Certainly, the unity of the "movement", self-proclaimed and undoubtedly harmful, deserves to be observed with caution; but almost a century after the facts, it is undoubtedly time to look at them with a new eye. Using a photograph and unpublished correspondence between two of the protagonists of the affair, I propose to get to the heart of the story.[ES] ¿Cómo podemos hablar de un acontecimiento que ya se ha contado y comentado muchas veces? La creación de los Congresos Internacionales de Arquitectura Moderna (Ciam) en La Sarraz en junio de 1928 es uno de esos acontecimientos. Después de los relatos épicos de los primeros héroes de la aventura "moderna", los historiadores han sido más críticos, circunspectos, incluso sospechosos o reprobadores. ¿Estamos ante un mito construido desde cero? Ciertamente, la autoproclamada e indudablemente nociva unidad del "movimiento" merece ser observada con cautela; pero casi un siglo después de los acontecimientos, es sin duda el momento de examinarlos bajo una nueva óptica. A partir de una fotografía y de una correspondencia inédita entre dos de los protagonistas del asunto, me propongo llegar al fondo de la cuestión.[FR] Comment parler d un événement qui a déjà été maintes fois raconté et commenté? La création des Congrès internationaux d architecture moderne (Ciam) à La Sarraz en juin 1928 est de ceux-là. Passé les récits épiques des premiers héros de l aventure «moderne», les historiens se sont montrés plus critiques, circonspects, voire méfiants ou réprobateurs. Serions-nous en face d un mythe construit de toutes pièces? Certes, l unité du «mouvement», autoproclamée et sans doute nocive, mérite d être observée avec prudence ; mais près d un siècle après les faits, il est sans doute temps de les regarder d un il nouveau. A partir d une photographie et de la correspondance inédite entre deux protagonistes de l affaire, je propose d entrer ici dans le coeur de l affaire.Morel Journel, G. (2022). Un été 1928. LC.

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
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
