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
Rousseau, Nietzsche in vprašanje srca
Full text linkRousseau and Nietzsche are philosophers between whom it is difficult to establish a dialogue that arises directly from their works, and yet there are connections between their philosophies, or in Nietzsche’s terms, perspectives, which open up a common issue: the question of evaluation. But to what does evaluation refer, to what value, or to the value of what does it refer? We want to show that it is an evaluation of the present in which thought takes place, which returns as memory of both the continuity of the trace and its interruptions. Memory, however, returns either as ressentiment and a will to revenge, that is, memory’s own negation of itself, because it is never adequate, or as an affirmation of what is remembered and what returns in memory, including discontinuities. In response to this problem, Rousseau invents his proto-concept of the heart, which appears in more or less conceptual form in both his autobiographical and political-theoretical works, without Rousseau ever granting it a place in his philosophy. We argue that the heart acquires its conceptuality only when we recognise it as a central and plastic principle of his thought, corresponding structurally to Nietzsche’s will to power. Deleuze describes the latter as a plastic principle of Nietzsche’s philosophy, the principle of evaluating and re-evaluating values, and the principle of evaluating what can and must recur in thought.Rousseau in Nietzsche sta filozofa, med katerima le stežka vzpostavimo dialog, ki bi izhajal neposredno iz njunih del in vendar se med njunima filozofijama spletajo povezave ali, rečeno z Nietzschejem, perspektive, ki odpirajo skupno vprašanje: vprašanje vrednotenja. A na kaj se nanaša vrednotenje, na katero vrednost oziroma na vrednost česa se nanaša? Pokazati želimo, da gre za vrednotenje sedanjika v katerem se izvaja mišljenje, ki se vrača kot spomin tako kontinuitete sledi, kot njenih prekinitev. Vendar spomin se vrača bodisi kot resentiment in volja po maščevanju, torej samonegacija spomina, ki nikdar ni adekvaten, bodisi kot afirmacija tega, ki se spominja in tega, kar se v spominu vrača, vključno z diskontinuitetami. Kot odgovor na ta problem Rousseau iznajde proto-pojem srca, ki se v bolj ali manj pojmovni obliki pojavlja tako v njegovih avtobiografskih kot politično teoretskih delih, ne da bi mu Rousseau kdaj deklariral mesto v svoji filozofiji. Trdimo, da srce pridobi svojo pojmovnost šele ko ga prepoznamo kot centralni in plastični princip njegove misli, ki strukturno ustreza Nietzschejevi volji do moči. Slednjo Deleuze označi za plastični princip Nietzschejeve filozofije, kot princip vrednotenja in prevrednotenja vrednot in kot princip vrednotenja tega, kar se more in mora vračati v mišljenju
Margins of representation / Attempts in storytelling
Full text linkIzhodišče magistrske naloge je "branje" in natančna analiza izbranih besedil, ki segajo na različna področja: od estetike, psihoanalize in semiologije do politike, v katerih je mogoče spremljati vprašanja in probleme reprezentacije. Cilj naloge je v primerjavi z izhodiščem veliko skromnejši: orisati minimalne poteze reprezentacijskega dispozitiva, z drugimi besedami razmerja med reprezentantom in reprezentiranim. Pri tem se bomo skušali izogibati privzemanju zgolj enega od tradicionalnih pristopov soočanja s problemom reprezentacije ter si prizadevali "nomadsko" prehajati med besedili in njim imanentno epistemologijo.
Z interpretacijo izbranih mest iz Freudove Množične psihologije in analize jaza in Rousseaujevega Eseja o izvoru jezikov bomo poskušali oblikovati koncept izvora, ki bo podlaga za nadaljnje delo. S kritičnim branjem Artaudovih esejev o gledališču in Nietzschejevega zgodnjega besedila O resnici in laži v zunajmoralnem smislu bomo pokazali na probleme in vprašanja, ki jih reprezentacija sproža v razmerju med mislijo in jezikom, na presečišču Rousseaujevih del o politiki in Nietzschejevega dela Rojstvo tragedije iz duha glasbe pa bomo na podlagi novega razumevanja problema reprezentacije izpostavili stične točke med gledališčem in državo. Nalogo bomo sklenili s poudarkom pomembnosti problema reprezentacije za prehod od modernizma h konceptualni umetnosti.The master thesis launches with thorough “reading” and subsequent analysis of selected texts, ranging from aesthetics, psychoanalysis, semiology and politics, in which questions and problems of representation can be traced and monitored. The purpose of the paper is, compared to its starting point, much more modest. It sets out to outline the minimal features of the disposition of the representation, or in other words, features of the relationship between representative and represented. In doing so, we will try to avoid adopting merely one of the traditional approaches when confronted with the problem of representation, and will strive to pass between texts and their immanent epistemology in a "nomadic" manner.
By interpreting the selected writings from Freud’s Mass Psychology and Analysis of the Ego and Rousseau’s Essay on the Origins of Languages, we will attempt to formulate a concept of origin, that will provide the basis for our further work. By examining Artaud\u27s essays on the theater and Nietzsche\u27s early text On Truth and Lies in a Nonmoral Sense we will shed light on issues and questions raised by the representation, in its relationship to thought and languageand at the intersection of Rousseau’s works on politics and Nietzsche’s work The Birth of Tragedy from the Spirit of Music, we will, after acknowledging a new understanding of the problem of representation, point out the junctures between the theater and the state. The thesis will be concluded with emphasis on the importance of the problem of representation that the latter presents in the transition from modernism to conceptual art
Misliti stroj: nadomestek, mimezis, metafora
No full textThe fact that we were used to thinking non-thinking machines, the ones supplementing human physical labor, and that we are only now encountering machines that supposedly supplement human thinking, does not mean that this is either the direction in the evolution of the machine or the genealogy of ideas about the machine. Psychoanalysis tempts us to say that the history of the machine could only be written together with the history of the unconscious, while studies of ancient orality reveal to us the intricacy of the oral technicity predating the technology of the written word. This means that the machine predates a simple tool, and highlights the possibility of thinking a genealogy of the machine, which must necessarily entangle with the genealogy of thought and memory. Following this line of thought, we should correct ourselves by saying that the idea of a machine that thinks is not a contemporary occurrence after all.Dejstvo, da smo bili navajeni misliti stroje, ki ne mislijo, tiste, ki nadomeščajo človekovo fizično delo, in da se šele zdaj srečujemo s stroji, ki domnevno nadomeščajo človekovo mišljenje, še ne pomeni, da je to smer razvoja stroja ali genealogija idej o stroju. Psihoanaliza nas napeljuje k temu, da bi rekli, da je zgodovino stroja mogoče pisati le skupaj z zgodovino nezavednega, medtem ko nam študije antične oralnosti razkrivajo njihovo zapletenost, ki predhodi tehnologiji pisane besede. To pomeni, da se stroj pojavi pred preprostim orodjem, kar kaže na možnost mišljenja genealogije stroja, ki se mora nujno prepletati z genealogijo mišljenja in spomina. Če sledimo tej misli, bi se navsezadnje morali popraviti in reči, da ideja stroja, ki misli, vendarle ni sodoben pojav
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
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
