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
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
Les pratiques martiales japonaises en France : institutionnalisation des disciplines et professionnalisation de l'enseignement
No full textDepuis près de 70 ans, les pratiques martiales japonaises (judo, karaté, aïkido, kendo) ont progressivement intégré le paysage sportif français. Au fil du temps, les instances chargées de les organiser et de les promouvoir se sont structurées et réglementées, conduisant à une modification du rapport à la pratique et des manières de s'y investir. Cet article vise à rendre compte de ces grandes évolutions en mettant au jour les liens entre éléments de conjoncture sociétale, modifications institutionnelles et processus de professionnalisation

The professional identity of Cap Emploi job retention officers. The conditions for maintaining "disabled workers" in employment in France
No full textCette recherche doctorale, inscrite dans une perspective interactionniste, entend étudier les conditions du maintien en emploi des « travailleurs handicapés » en « milieu ordinaire ». En France, ces derniers et leurs employeurs peuvent effectivement bénéficier d'un accompagnement institutionnel coordonné par les chargés de maintien du réseau Cap Emploi. Cet accompagnement consiste à mettre en œuvre des aménagements raisonnables qui puissent concourir au maintien en emploi de « travailleurs handicapés » disposant de restrictions d'aptitudes. Les entretiens et observations menés au cours de cette recherche permettent de qualifier l'identité professionnelle des chargés de maintien de façon à démontrer les conditions d'application d'un référentiel sectoriel singulier censé décliner une perception socio-environnementale du handicap et de la compensation de celui-ci. Tout d'abord, les chargés de maintien présentent des formes identitaires structurées par la définition de leur mandat que tentent de leur appliquer deux institutions aux intérêts divergents : l'AGEFIPH et CHEOPS. Pourtant, malgré des attributions concurrentes de « référents de parcours » et d'« analystes du travail », les chargés de maintien sont surtout attachés à une éthique du care. À ce titre, ces derniers se positionnent dans leurs accompagnements comme des initiés, à l'interface entre les besoins exprimés par les « travailleurs handicapés » et leurs employeurs. Ces professionnels du Cap Emploi sont alors en mesure de créer les conditions d'un ordre négocié permettant d'orienter les interactions entre employeurs, « travailleurs handicapés », médecins du travail et les fonds d'insertion sur ce qui constitue le caractère raisonnable des aménagements à mettre en œuvre et à subventionner. Cet ordre négocié témoigne pourtant des enjeux de pouvoir au sein des entreprises. Devenir « travailleur handicapé » et voir son poste aménagé à ce titre, illustre surtout de quelle façon les salariés qui présentent une problématique de santé en cours d'emploi doivent composer avec la stigmatisation systémique qui accompagne cette transition identitaire.The aim of this interactionist doctoral research project is to study the job retention conditions of "disabled workers" in an "ordinary environment". In France, disabled workers and their employers can benefit from institutional support coordinated by the job retention officer of the Cap Emploi network. This support consists of making reasonable accomodation to help "disabled workers" with medical restriction in work. The interviews and observations conducted in this research make it possible to qualify the professional identity of the people in charge of job retention so as to demonstrate the conditions of application of a sectoral reference supposed to describe a socio-environmental perception of disability and compensation. First of all, those job retention officer have identities structured by the definition of their mandate that two institutions with diverging interests are trying to apply to them : AGEFIPH and CHEOPS. However, despite their competing roles as "project coordinator" and "work analysts", this job retention officer are above all committed to an ethic of care. As such, they position themselves as insiders at the interface between the needs expressed by "disabled workers" and their employers. These Cap Emploi professionals are therefore able to create the conditions for a negotiated order to guide interactions between employers / "disabled workers", occupational physicians and integration funds on what constitutes the reasonable nature of the adjustments to be implemented and subsidised. However, this negotiated order reflects the power stakes within companies. Becoming a "disabled worker" and having one's workstation adapted in this way illustrates above all how employees who develop a health problem during the course of their employment have to deal with the systemic stigmatisation that accompanies this transition in identity
