Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
Full text linkWe 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
Calvin on slavery: Providence and social ethics in the 16th century
Full text linkIn this article, Calvin’s views on slavery are evaluated within the broader historical context of the practice of slavery during the late Middle Ages and the 16th century, and also in the light of various views inherited from Greek and Roman antiquity. Calvin’s sermons on Deuteronomy, his commentary on Ephesians and 1 Timothy are particularly relevant to this study, as is his earlier commentary on Seneca’s De Clementia. Whilst it appears that the 16th century’s context does not play a central role in Calvin’s assessment of slavery, his exegesis of biblical texts leads him to articulate a strong position with regard to this anthropological and ethical issue, combining the notions of imago Dei [image of God], humanitas [humaneness], providentia Dei [providence of God] and analogical right
La portée épistémologique de la métaphore du miroir dans l'Institution de la Religion chrétienne chez J. Calvin
No full textEric Kayayan : The epistemological scope of the metaphor of the mirror in the Institution of Christian Religion of J. Calvin.
In this article it will be argued that the metaphor of the mirror has the characteristics of a central figure in the Institution of Christian Religion. This metaphor is capable of crystallizing (and ?) several constitutive elements of a religious epistemology which cannot be structured in any other satisfactory manner. As a dynamically accommodating form it means to offer a — neccessarily incomplete — reflection of realities otherwise invisible, thus making it possible to know them : this reflection inhabits the different mirrors presented, without being confused with them. Among the other objects subordinated to these dynamics we find the knowing human being, who comes into existence only from the moment he envisages himself as a mirror.Dans cet article, on cherchera à démontrer que la métaphore du miroir présente les caractéristiques d'une image centrale dans l'Institution de la Religion Chrétienne. Elle parvient à cristalliser plusieurs éléments constitutifs d'une épistémologie religieuse qui semble ne pas pouvoir être articulée de manière satisfaisante autrement. Comme forme d'accommodation dynamique, elle veut offrir un reflet fidèle, même si incomplet, de réalités autrement invisibles, rendant possible une connaissance de celles-ci : ce reflet vient habiter les différents miroirs présentés, sans pour autant se confondre avec eux. Parmi les objets soumis à cette dynamique figure l'homme connaissant, lequel ne devient tel qu'à partir du moment où il parvient à s 'envisager comme miroir.Kayayan Eric.

Accommodation, incarnation et sacrement dans l'Institution de la religion chrétienne de Jean Calvin : L'utilisation de métaphores et de similitudes
No full textΕ. Κayayan : Accommodation, Incarnation and Sacrement in the Institutes of the Christian Religion by Calvin.
In this article, the metaphors and similes used by Calvin in the Institutes of the Christian Religion around the themes of Accommodation, Incarnation and Sacrement are studied in their relationship with these themes as well as in their mutual relationship. An evaluation of their cognitive content and an assessment of Calvin's way of organizing them in a rational way are given. Metaphors and similes disclose paradoxes and mysteries and are part of Calvin's attempt to adopt a divine rhetoric for a pedagogical purpose. Finally, through these figures, language endeavours to reflect in its immannence - like in a «mirror» - the way transcendence makes itself accessible.Dans cet article, les métaphores et les similitudes utilisées par Calvin dans l'Institution de la religion chrétienne autour des thèmes de l'Accommodation, de l'Incarnation et du Sacrement sont étudiées à la fois dans leur relation avec ces thèmes et dans leur relation mutuelle. Une évaluation de leur contenu cognitif et une estimation de la façon dont Calvin les organise d'une manière rationnelle est proposée. Les métaphores et les similitudes décèlent des paradoxes et des mystères et participent de l'effort de Calvin en vue d'adopter une rhétorique divine pour un propos pédagogique. Finalement, à travers ces figures, le langage s'avère refléter dans son immanence - comme dans un «miroir» - la façon dont la transcendance se fait accessible.Kayayan Eric.
