Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
A MEDIUNIDADE, DA PROFECIA AO RITO: A TRANSFORMAÇÃO DA ESPIRITUALIDADE NO ESPIRITISMO KARDECISTA
Full text linkO espiritismo brasileiro, em meados do século 20, passou por uma silenciosa, mas importante transformação no sentido que emprestava à noção de mediunidade, como elemento primordial da realização do espiritual dentro de seu sistema de crenças. Neste trabalho, especificamos três modalidades de espiritualidade, percebidas a partir do modo como, em cada época, os espíritas trataram da mediunidade, devido ao crescente processo de institucionalização do espiritismo: o não rito, o rito de contato e o rito de separação.
MEDIUMSHIP, FROM PROPHECY TO RITE: THE TRANSFORMATION
OF SPIRITUALITY IN KARDECTIC SPIRITISM
Brazilian spiritism, in the mid-20th century, underwent a silent but important
transformation in the sense that it lent itself to the notion of mediumship as the primordial element of the realization of the spiritual. In this work, we specify three modes of spirituality, perceived from the way in which the spiritists dealt with mediumship, in the context of the growing process of institutionalization of spiritism: non-rite, rite of contact and rite of separation
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe 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
ESPIRITISMO E POLÍTICA: OS TORTUOSOS CAMINHOS DO CONSERVADORISMO RELIGIOSO E SUAS CONTRADIÇÕES NO BRASIL
Full text linkTrata este trabalho das transformações do espiritismo em sua relação com os sentidos da política. Destaca-se inicialmente a predominância do individualismo moralista nos fundamentos doutrinários do espiritismo. No Brasil, o espiritismo emerge como religião, e segue num quadro de forte despolitização, exceto na afirmação da liberdade religiosa, no Império (Questão Religiosa) e quando emergem debates públicos sobre aborto e pena de morte. Entretanto, em meio ao debate das eleições de 2018, emergiu na internet uma controvérsia envolvendo a figura de Divaldo Pereira Franco, em Goiânia, que tem alterado o modo como os espíritas lidam com as temáticas políticas
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe 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
A indecisão consciente: análise qualitativa da indecisão eleitoral no pleito estadual de 2014
No full textThis is a study on specific characteristics of the undecided voter in relation to the Goiás governor poll, in 2014 elections. The opinion of these electors makes up an important reference to understand the formation process of electoral public opinion, mainly for its remarkable growth in recent years. This paper is based on data collected directly from undecided voters, in the context of a qualitative survey of television reception, developed through family mediation of public electoral propaganda of governor elections in 2014. From the data obtained, it was possible to understand that the process involving vote indecision is more complex and complete than it has been supposed, allowing the notion of “critical undecided voters” and specific arrangements that seek to describe the characteristics of the electoral indecision process.</jats:p
