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
[Petite Trouvaille #1] Les photographies de comédiens de Charles Mérouvel
No full textPour la première petite trouvaille que je partage sur ce carnet, je voulais raconter une histoire que je trouve savoureuse, et sur laquelle je suis tombée cet été, au cours de ma lecture extensive de la revue Désiré. De son nom complet Désiré, Bulletin bimestriel d'étude des illustrés, fascicules et livres populaires et d'information et de liaison des collectionneurs, puis plus tard Désiré, l'ami de la littérature populaire, cette revue paraît en deux séries, entre 1965 et 1981. Elle est di..
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
[Petite Trouvaille #2] Les fiches d'évaluation de Rouff
No full textLes archives de la maison d'édition Jules Rouff (active de 1873 à 1982) sont aujourd'hui conservées à la BnF[1]. Composées de 16 "boîtes" d'archives (cette unité qui ne correspond pas à une boîte physique et peut recouvrir plusieurs cartons d'archives), elles concernent, pour 9 d'entre elles, la correspondance, et pour les 7 autres des dossiers divers (comptables, actes, baux, journaux...)[2]. Ce sont ces 9 boîtes que j'ai eu l'occasion de dépouiller en détail lors de ma recherche de corpus. ..
Reptiles et princesses
No full textPour cette carte blanche, je souhaitais partager une petite réflexion, à propos d'un document trouvé dans le cadre de ma recherche d'archives sur la production de la littérature sérielle.Lors d'un dépouillement à l'IMEC, où je travaillais sur des dossiers issus du fonds Tallandier, une petite série de documents a retenu mon attention et, je dois dire, m'a fait sourire avant de me faire réfléchir. Une partie importante du fonds Tallandier est composée de "dossiers auteurs", classés par ordre..
[Petite Trouvaille #4] Les neuf enfants d'Alexis Clerc, ou les surgissements de la réalité
No full textUne proportion importante des archives que je dépouille dans le cadre de ma recherche sur la production de la littérature sérielle, relève de la correspondance, échangée principalement entre les auteurs et les éditeurs. Certains éditeurs (Rouff à la BnF, Tallandier à l'IMEC, Hetzel à la BnF et à l'IMEC) ont laissé des fonds au volume conséquent, souvent organisés en dossiers nominatifs classés alphabétiquement. Ces dossiers permettent, lorsqu'ils ont survécu et qu'ils sont à peu près complets..
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
