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
Les mécanismes d’adaptation des malades mentaux chroniques à la vie quotidienne
Get PDFCet article présente les principaux résultats d'une étude clinique exploratoire qui visait à découvrir les mécanismes d'adaptation utilisés par des patients psychiatriques chroniques; ces patients avaient été traités et suivis dans une clinique externe, localisée dans un milieu urbain défavorisé. L'analyse des observations des intervenants a permis de dégager 39 mécanismes d'adaptation, répartis dans cinq sphères de la vie quotidienne: économique, résidentielle, temporelle, interpersonnelle et thérapeutique. L'auteur conclut en mettant en évidence les paramètres de fonctionnement de ces mécanismes d'adaptation.In this article, the author presents the main results of an exploratory clinical study aimed at identifying the adaptation mechanisms used by chronic psychiatric patients. These patients had been treated and followed by an external clinic located in an underprivileged urban environment. Upon the analysis of social worker's observations, the author was able to pinpoint 39 adaptation mechanisms within five areas of daily life: economical, residential, temporal, interpersonal and therapeutic. In conclusion, the author emphasizes on the six operating parameters of these adaptation mechanisms
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
Le processus de désinstitutionnalisation aux États-Unis (première partie)
Get PDFDans ce premier article, l'auteur analyse les conditions socio-économico-politiques qui ont permis que 78,5% des lits asilaires américains soient fermés en 30 ans. Il démontre ensuite comment le gouvernement des États-Unis a utilisé les mesures législatives et fiscales pour réaliser sa politique de désinstitutionnalisation, politique également influencée par les luttes légales menées par les psychiatrisés et leurs défenseurs.In this first article, the author analyses the socio-e-conomico-political conditions that have led to the closing of 78.5 % of beds in American asylums in the last 30 years. The author goes on to show how the U.S. government used legislative and fiscal measures to accomplish its deinstitutionalization policy, a policy also influenced by court battles spearheaded by psychiatric patients and their supporters
Le processus de désinstitutionnalisation aux États-Unis (deuxième partie)
Get PDFDans ce deuxième article, l'auteur analyse l'impact de la désinstitutionnalisation américaine sur les patients, leurs familles, les communautés et le système de soins (les centres hospitaliers, les hôpitaux généraux, les centres de santé mentale communautaire et l'entreprise résidentielle). Ensuite, il développe les différentes hypothèses formulées pour solutionner les problèmes créés par la désinstitutionnalisation. Ces hypothèses sont conformes au courant politique dominant des années 80 dans les services sociaux et de santé: l'intégration de ces services.In this second article, the author analyses the impact of American deinstitutionalization on patients, their families, the communities and the health care system (medical clinics, general hospitals, community mental health centres and residential concerns). Following his analysis, the author develops the various hypotheses produced to solve the problems created by deinstitutionalization. These hypotheses follow the dominant political theme of the 80s in the area of health and social services : the integration of services
