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
Experiência estética e presença : nuances poéticas em Febre do Rato
Get PDFEsta monografia tem por objetivo compreender como a materialidade audiovisual do filme Febre do rato (2011), de Cláudio Assis, cria condições para a emergência de experiências estéticas, pensando esses fenômenos a partir das noções de efeitos de presença e efeitos de sentido desenvolvidas por Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht. Este estudo entende, por ‘materialidade do audiovisual’, seus elementos imagéticos, sonoros e rítmicos, materialidades que existem como realidade na medida em que são percebidos pelos nossos sentidos. Partindo da constatação de Gumbrecht (2010) de que a poesia é um dos principais exemplos da oscilação entre efeitos de presença e efeitos de sentido, a análise é realizada com foco em momentos de intensidade marcados pela poesia, seja ela na forma oral, recitada pelo protagonista Zizo, ou na forma estrutural, através da montagem. A investigação é feita a partir de aspectos da mise-en-scène, da cinematografia, do som e do ritmo. Este último revelou-se, no curso do desenvolvimento da pesquisa, como o grande articulador das possíveis experiências estéticas no filme.This monograph aims to understand how the audio-visual materiality of the film Febre do Rato (2011), from the director Claudio Assis, creates conditions for the emergence of aesthetic experiences, thinking these phenomena from the notions of presence effects and meaning effects developed by Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht. This study considers, 'materiality of the áudio-visual' their imagery, sound and rhythmic elements, materialities that exist as reality if perceived by our senses. From Gumbrecht’s finding that poetry is a prime example of the oscillation between presence effects and meaning effects, the analysis is performed focusing on moments of intensity marked by poetry, be it orally, recited by the protagonist Zizo, or structurally, through editing. The analysis focuses on mise-en-scène, cinematography, sound and rhythm aspects. This latter proved to be, in the course of the study, as the great articulator of possible aesthetic experiences in the film
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
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
A sinfonia fílmica em ‘Sal de Prata’ (2005) de Carlos Gerbase
Get PDFThis article focuses on the relationship between a cinematographic corpus and a music structure in. This discussion is followed by the introduction of the concept of ‘film symphony’ [‘sinfonia fílmica’] as well as its viability related to ‘Sal de Prata’. Carlos Gerbase’s ‘Sal de Prata’ (2005) is a film organized through narrative intertitles that refer to a symphonic structure through their semantic content. This text discusses the notion of structure in music and movies, including the concept of film editing. The discussion is complemented by anchorage, concept proposed by Barthes (1964) to designate one of the functions of the linguistic message on the iconic message. This article aims at a reflection on the multifaceted usage of music in the cinematographic complex, contributing to the construction of this interdisciplinary area of study.Key words: cinema, music, film music, film symphony, ‘Sal de Prata’ (film).Este artigo discute as aproximações entre um corpus fílmico e uma estrutura musical através do conceito de sinfonia fílmica (Lanzoni, 2012) e sua aplicabilidade em ‘Sal de Prata’. ‘Sal de Prata’ (2005) de Carlos Gerbase é um filme organizado através de intertítulos narrativos, cujo conteúdo semântico o remete à estrutura de uma sinfonia. Inicialmente, discorre-se acerca da estrutura em música e da estrutura no cinema em que se insere a montagem. Complementa a discussão a designação de ancoragem proposta por Barthes (1964) para designar uma das funções da mensagem linguística em relação à mensagem icônica. Este texto possibilita uma reflexão acerca das utilizações multifacetadas da música no complexo cinematográfico visando a contribuir para a constituição desta área interdisciplinar de estudos.Palavras-chave: cinema, música, música de cinema, sinfonia fílmica, ‘Sal de Prata’ (filme)
Para além das imagens: aproximações e apropriações entre cinema e música
Get PDFEste texto discute algumas conexões e paralelos entre cinema e música. Para tanto, discorre-se acerca da estrutura em ambas as manifestações, visando ilustrar as apropriações terminológicas entre as teorias, as aproximações entre corpus fílmicos e formas musicais específicas e as combinações entre música e imagem em movimento. A discussão proposta é exemplificada através de diferentes exemplos fílmicos. Este artigo concentra-se na reflexão das utilizações multifacetadas da música, no complexo cinematográfico, visando contribuir para a constituição desta área interdisciplinar de estudos
