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
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
UM PERCURSO VISUAL POR OUTROS CANTOS: MEMÓRIAS DO SERTÃO, VIAGEM E VISIBILIDADE EM MARIA VALÉRIA REZENDE
Este artigo propõe uma reflexão sobre a relevância do ato de olhar na esfera literária. Examina-se a relação entre a memória, a viagem e a visibilidade no romance Outros cantos (2016), de Maria Valéria Rezende. O objetivo é problematizar de que modo a convergência desses três eixos alicerça e traz singularidade para essa obra, visto que há uma amálgama de olhares presentes nos diversos planos temporais da narrativa construídos a partir das viagens, contribuindo para as recordações da protagonista. O arco teórico utilizado abrange os estudos de Georges Didi-Huberman, Walter Benjamin, Flora Süssekind, Sérgio Cardoso, Marilena Chaui e Alfredo Bosi
Tear de reminiscências : memória, viagem e imagem em outros cantos, de Maria Valéria Rezende.
Programa de Pós-Graduação em Letras. Departamento de Letras, Instituto de Ciências Humanas e Sociais, Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto.Esta dissertação é uma leitura do romance contemporâneo Outros cantos, de Maria Valéria Rezende, com enfoque na inerente relação entre as dimensões da memória, a viagem e a experiência do olhar. A memória é elo central a partir do qual norteamos esta pesquisa na qual refletimos e analisamos os processos de lembrança na instância da produção literária – especificamente, no romance Outros cantos, de Maria Valéria Rezende –, por meio dos estudos mnemônicos empreendidos por: Maurice Halbwachs, Aleida Assmann e Jan Assmann. Ademais contemplamos as concepções basilares de literatura contemporânea, de literatura de viagem e de visibilidade cunhadas pelos estudiosos: Karl Eric Schøllhammer, Erich Auerbach, Jacques Ranciére, Flora Süssekind, Georges Didi-Huberman, Walter Benjamin, Sérgio Cardoso, Marilena Chaui, Alfredo Bosi, Eurídice Figueiredo e Edward Said. No romance Outros cantos a memória é uma chave de leitura importante que permeia toda a narrativa. A protagonista Maria, por meio de rememorações confronta uma imagem remota do sertão nordestino, no contexto do pós-golpe de 1964, à imagem contemporânea, que é percebida dentro de um ônibus, em 2014, durante uma viagem de retorno aos vilarejos do semiárido. Partindo desses dois contextos surgem diversos desdobramentos da memória na obra. Na esfera individual, a protagonista reflete sobre o cenário e a vida sertaneja, nas duas temporalidades. Nesse movimento de resgate de sua própria história, por parte da narradora-personagem, são apresentados causos relatados por ela e pelos moradores do povoado em rodas de contação de histórias – o que configura a dimensão coletiva e cultural da lembrança. Visto que as rememorações estão presentes em diversos planos do romance – individual, afetivo, coletivo, cultural e simbólico –, constata-se que a memória é um ponto essencial para a compreensão da narrativa, e por isso o foco desta investigação.This dissertation is a reading of the contemporary novel Outros cantos, by Maria Valéria Rezende, focusing on the inherent relationship between the dimensions of memory, travel and visual experience. Memory is the central link from which we guide this research in which we reflect and analyze the processes of remembering in the instance of literary production – specifically, in the novel Outros cantos, by Maria Valéria Rezende –, through the mnemonic studies undertaken by: Maurice Halbwachs, Aleida Assmann and Jan Assmann. In addition, we contemplate the basic concepts of contemporary literature, travel literature and visibility coined by scholars: Karl Eric Schøllhammer, Erich Auerbach, Jacques Ranciére, Flora Süssekind, Georges Didi-Huberman, Walter Benjamin, Sérgio Cardoso, Marilena Chaui, Alfredo Bosi, Eurídice Figueiredo and Edward Said. In the novel Outros cantos, memory is an important reading key that permeates the entire narrative. The protagonist Maria, through remembrances, confronts a remote image of the northeastern hinterland, in the context of the post-coup of 1964, with the contemporary image, which is perceived inside a bus, in 2014, during a return trip to the semi-arid villages. From these two contexts, several developments of memory emerge in the work. In the individual sphere, the protagonist reflects on the scenery and country life, in both temporalities. In this movement to rescue her own story, on the part of the narrator-character, stories related by her and the villagers are presented in storytelling circles – which configures the collective and cultural dimension of the memory. As recollections are present in different planes of the novel – individual, affective, collective, cultural and symbolic –, it appears that memory is an essential point for the understanding of the narrative, and therefore the focus of this investigation
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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
We 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
