    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    Ministerio laical del catequista : algunas notas para aportar a la reflexión y al diálogo

    No full text
    Resumen: El ministerio laical del catequista, más que un “objetivo”, algo a lo que “se llega”, debería considerase como un aporte a la eficacia del fin definitivo del servicio catequístico, el cual “es poner a uno no sólo en contacto sino en comunión, en intimidad con Jesucristo”(CT 5; DpC 75). El ministerio no es la finalidad. La finalidad es siempre un espacio de encuentro que las instancias catequísticas proveen: catequistas e interlocutores encontrándose con Jesucristo y entre ellos, a través de un espacio comunitario para conocer, celebrar, vivir y orar la fe (Cf. DpC 79-89). La institución del ministerio aporta una gracia especial que determina el servicio catequístico como un compromiso vocacional y eclesial, y provee una comunidad de ministros instituidos que realiza un trabajo colaborativo acompañándose, sosteniéndose y celebrando juntos una vocación común

    Reciprocidad, vincularidad y transformación. Algunas notas sobre la hospitalidad en el Antiguo Testamento

    From a synchronic perspective and a narrative approach, some encounters in which the characters assume roles of host or guest are presented. Although they have some common elements, each encounter has its own characteristics: causes, motivations, consequences. This confirms the difficulty of making simple and ab- solute statements about "hospitality in the Old Testament". However some notes are proposed that can contribute to the debate: reciprocity, bonding, asymmetry, hostility and transformation.A partir de una una perspectiva sincrónica y una aproximación narrativa, se presentan algunos encuentros en los que los personajes asumen roles de anfitrión o huésped.

    Variations on the Author

    “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

    We 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

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    We 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
