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
Complexes of hydrazones with dichloro (η-ethylene)platinum(II): stereochemical and conformational analysis of the co-ordinated ligands
No full textBy reaction of the hydrazones (Me2C:N·NMePh, L1; MeHC:N·NMe2, L2; MeHC:N·NMePh, L3; EtHC:N·NMe2, L4; EtHC:N·NMePh, L5: and Me2C:N·NHPh, L6) with Zeise's salt, complexes of formula trans-[Pt(C2H4)Cl2-(hydrazone)] have been prepared in which the imino-nitrogen acts as donor atom. Of the hydrazones derived from aldehydes, which in the free state are present as pure syn isomers, L2 and L4 retain their configuration on co-ordination to the metal, while L3 and L5 give two isomeric complexes, in one of which the ligand keeps the syn configuration, whereas in the other isomerization to the anti form occurs (with respect to the C:N double bond). Evidence of rotational isomerism about the N·N bond has been found in the case of L6. The coupling of the ligand protons with the 195Pt nucleus has been measured and correlated with their relative cis or trans position about the C:N double bond. A coupling of ca. 74 and 27 Hz has been found for the aldehydic proton, trans and cis to platinum respectively. For the methyl substituents at the carbonylic carbon, a higher coupling constant (11-13 Hz) is observed when the methyl group is cis to platinum and a lower one (6-8 Hz) when it is trans. This result is discussed in connection with other literature data
