    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

    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

    Surete âşık olma temasının Divan şiirinde ilk kez işlenmesine Nizâmî-i Gencevî’nin Husrev ü Şirin (1281) adlı mesnevîsinde rastlanmaktadır. Tasavvufta sevme kavramı öte dünyada olabileceği için fiziki bir yakınlıkla değil, ruhani ve batıni bir anlayışla temsil edilir. Metin Erksan’ın 1965 yılında çektiği Sevmek Zamanı filmi surete âşık olma konusunu ele alışında tasavvufi nazarıyla geleneksel Osmanlı edebiyatına yakın durarak dönemi içerisinde münferit ve özgün bir yer işgal eden, gelenekle biçimsel yeniliği harmanladığı bir filmdir. Bu yazıda Sevmek Zamanı filmi, özellikle surete âşık olma teması ekseninde ele alınarak divan şiiri ve tasavvufun nazarından içeriksel, biçimsel ve kurgusal özellikleriyle incelenmiştir.Falling in love with semblance theme is first encountered in Divan Literature with Nizâmî-i Gencevî’s Husrev u Şirin (1281) entitled masnawi. According to sufi approach, it is a target that can be achieved in the afterlife, love in the physical world therefore, represents a spiritual and esoteric understanding rather than physical proximity. Metin Erksan’s Sevmek Zamanı / Time to Love (1965) entitled movie locates itself as a genuine and discrete example of its era through its proximity to traditional Ottoman theme, falling in love with semblance, in a sufistic approach that combines thematic traditionalism and cinematographic renewal. With the study, Time to Love and its main theme, falling in love with semblance is analyzed through the traditional Ottoman poetry and sufistic approach according to its content, form and editing techniques

    Anlatı ve kurguda uyum: Reha Erdem sinemasında farklılaşan oluşlar

    Cataloged from PDF version of article.Includes bibliographical references (leaves 127-131).This thesis aims to demonstrate the coherence between narrative and montage in Reha Erdem’s cinema in dialogue with Deleuzian philosophy and cinema theory, and it analyzes the parallels and divergences between Erdem’s cinema and Deleuzian concepts. In order to accomplish this aim, this thesis explores three films from Erdem’s oeuvre by employing Deleuzian concepts clustered around “becoming”. The three films are Kosmos (2010), What’s a Human, Anyway? (2004), and Singing Women (2013), since they carry a thematic commonality in the narrative of the concept of becoming; and vary with diversified forms of this concept, such as becoming-animal, woman, and imperceptible in terms of form and narrative. Within this scope, the thesis reveals Gilles Deleuze’s consistency between his philosophy developed with Félix Guattari and cinema theory by the agency of Erdem’s cinema. In addition to underlining the parallels, the narrative and formal analysis also delve into Erdem’s reinterpretations of and deviations from Deleuzian theory.by Suphi Keski

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    Get PDF
    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

    We 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
