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
Etnicidad sudamericana según la época del cristal con que se mire y mida
No full textDuring the last 35 years constitutional changes, support to international agreements and
the creation of specific laws regarding indigenous groups have been produced in South American
countries. Consequently, there is a demand for having official figures related to volume and
characterization of the indigenous people in Latin‐American countries (GOLDBERG, 2007). This paper
recommends an approach to evaluate the results of the aborigine population census, produced at
different scales in some of these countries, and which have resulted in readings and social and
political debates, and many times, have been the source for governmental guidelines. At the
beginning it can be considered as surprising the fact that the results are sometimes contradictory as
related to other measurements which were made in the same territory and with the same purpose,
even when they are very close in time. It is proposed, as part of the explanation, that on one hand
each of the gathered results is not necessarily incorrect but it shows the current political situation
related to the population at the moment of the study and also of the interests of those who organize
it; on the other hand it considers the difficulty of trying to quantify with absolute figures that, which
in most cases, is considered in subjective terms.En el transcurso de los últimos 35 años en los países sudamericanos se han producido modificaciones constitucionales, adhesiones a convenios internacionales, y creaciones de leyes específicas referidas a los grupos indígenas lo que ha intensificado los requerimientos de cifras oficiales que den cuenta del volumen y caracterización de los pueblos indígenas en los países latinoamericanos (GOLDBERG, 2007). Este escrito propone una aproximación a la valoración de los resultados de los censos de población aborigen, producidos a distintas escalas en algunos de estos países, que han dado lugar a lecturas y debates sociales y políticos y, muchas veces, han servido de sustento argumental para el impulso de lineamientos gubernamentales. En principio puede parecer sorprendente el hecho que los resultados resulten casi siempre contradictorios en relación a otras mediciones realizadas en el mismo territorio con el mismo propósito, incluso cuando son muy cercanas en el tiempo. Se propone, al menos como parte de la explicación, que, por un lado, que cada uno de los resultados obtenidos no necesariamente es inexacto sino que resulta un reflejo de las circunstancias políticas coyunturales que hacen al conjunto de la población al momento de la realización de la consulta y de los intereses de quienes la organizan. Por otra parte se plantea la dificultad de pretender cuantificar con valores absolutos aquello que, en la mayoría de los casos, se plantea en términos subjetivos
Ideología e impacto social en los usos de la palabra innovación
No full textThis text makes critical reference to the widespread use with which, in current and recent times, the concept of innovation is associated, which does not contemplate the diversity of situations and consequences inherent to the undirected use of the word. As a whole, innovations of all kinds, their uses and effective or possible applications, have had and continue to have a decisive impact on social behavior. This paper aims to critically evaluate aspects that lead to the emergence of the conception of technological innovation, driven by private companies whose leaders are labeled “entrepreneurs”, as the main engine of the economic development of society as a vector of commercial profitability. The generalization of this conception translates, in practice, into one of the main pillars of an individualistic society in which the impulse for the common good loses consideration and incentive. Ce texte fait référence de manière critique à l'usage répandu auquel, à l'époque actuelle et récente, est associé le concept d'innovation, qui ne considère pas la diversité des situations et des conséquences inhérentes à l'usage non dirigé du mot.Dans leur ensemble, les innovations de toutes sortes, leurs usages et leurs applications effectives ou possibles, ont eu et continuent d'avoir un impact déterminant sur les comportements sociaux. Cet article vise à évaluer de manière critique les aspects qui conduisent à l’émergence de la conception de l’innovation technologique, portée par des entreprises privées dont les dirigeants sont qualifiés d’« entrepreneurs », comme principal moteur du développement économique de la société comme vecteur de rentabilité commerciale. La généralisation de cette conception se traduit, en pratique, par l’un des principaux piliers d’une société individualiste dans laquelle l’élan du bien commun perd toute considération et tout attrait.Este texto faz referência crítica ao uso generalizado a que, nos tempos atuais e recentes, está associado o conceito de inovação, que não contempla a diversidade de situações e consequências inerentes ao uso não direcionadoda palavra. No seu conjunto, inovações de todos os tipos, as suas utilizações e aplicações eficazes ou possíveis, tiveram e continuam a ter um impacto decisivo no comportamento social. Este artigo tem como objetivo avaliar criticamente aspectos que levam ao surgimento da concepção de inovação tecnológica, impulsionada por empresas privadas cujos líderes são rotulados como “empreendedores”, como principal motor do desenvolvimento econômico da sociedade como vetor de rentabilidade comercial. A generalização desta concepção traduz-se, na prática, num dos principais pilares de uma sociedade individualista em que o impulso para o bem comum perde consideração e incentivo.El presente texto hace referencia crítica al uso generalizado con el que, en tiempos actuales y recientes, se asocia el concepto de innovación queno contempla la diversidad de situaciones y consecuencias propias del uso no direccionado del vocablo. En su conjunto las innovaciones de todo tipo, sus usos y aplicaciones efectivas o posibles, han incidido e inciden, de manera determinante en el comportamiento social. Este escrito se propone evaluar de manera crítica aspectos que hacen a la emergencia de la concepción de la innovación tecnológica, traccionada por las empresas privadas cuyos referentes son rotulados como “emprendedores”, como principal motor del desarrollo económico de la sociedad en tanto vector de la rentabilidad comercial. La generalización de esta concepción se traduce, en la práctica, en uno de los principales pilares de una sociedad de carácter individualista en la que pierde consideración y aliciente el impulso del bien común.
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
