    Habiter le ciel et les nuées : lieu et “non-lieu” du savoir philosophique chez Aristophane et Platon

    International audienceThe “ethereal” location of philosophical knowledge is a commonplace, most famously expressed in Aristophanes’ Clouds. An analysis of the meanings and images associated with this symbolical place sheds light on the debates that accompanied the development of this knowledge and the reasons that may have led an author like Plato to turn the caricature of the philosopher “with his feet on the air” to his advantage.La localisation « éthérée » du savoir philosophique est un lieu commun, qui trouve son expression la plus célèbre dans les Nuées d’Aristophane. Mais une analyse des significations et des images associées à ce lieu symbolique permet d’éclairer les débats qui ont accompagné le développement de ce savoir et les raisons qui ont pu pousser un auteur comme Platon à retourner, à son profit, la caricature du philosophe « les pieds en l’air »

    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

    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

    No full text
    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

    Résonance du corps, résonance de l’âme : le phénomène de l’écho entre physiologie et psychologie, d’Alcméon à Platon

    International audienceBy studying both the common and technical meanings of echo in Greek thought, this article seeks to highlight the role that this notion played in the elaboration, by certain philosophers and physicians of the fifth century BC, of a theory of auditory perception (through the resonance of the body), and then in Plato’s formulation of a theory of persuasion (through the resonance of the soul).Mediante el estudio de las acepciones común y técnica del eco en el pensamiento griego, este artículo pretende poner de relieve el papel que esta noción desempeñó en la elaboración, por parte de ciertos filósofos y médicos del siglo v a. C., de una teoría de la percepción auditiva (a través de la resonancia del cuerpo), y luego en la formulación por parte de Platón de una teoría de la persuasión (a través de la resonancia del alma).En étudiant les significations à la fois communes et techniques de l’écho dans la pensée grecque, cet article s’efforce de mettre en lumière le rôle que cette notion a joué dans l’élaboration, par certains philosophes et médecins du ve siècle avant J.-C., d’une théorie de la perception auditive (par la résonance du corps), puis dans la formulation, par Platon, d’une théorie de la persuasion (par la résonance de l’âme)
