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
Study of the work of a community medical emergency service with psychosomatic and psychiatric patients.
No full textThe study aims to: (a) assess the incidence of functional/psychosomatic (FP) and psychiatric (P) calls to the Community Emergency Medical Service (during the night, week-ends, public holidays, when the primary care physicians are not on duty) and to determine the type of response provided; (b) highlight the diagnostic, relational, therapy and assistance problems involved in an approach to these patients at an emergency call level by a young, nonspecialist physician. The study data show that the quantitative importance of FP and P patients, as noted in the literature, is equally valid for emergency. But the study also highlights the numerous difficulties these patients cause to nonspecialist physicians. Liaison psychiatrist activity should find excellent growth potential in this new direction
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 clinical consultation-liaison experience in a rehabilitation service.
No full textConsultation-liaison psychiatry, which seeks to make a clinical and cultural contribution to medical problems, is the subject of considerable debate at a theoretical level. Moreover, at least in Italy, it is far removed from total actualization in practical terms. On the basis of a clinical experience, the authors underscore how a fully articulated and complete consultation and liaison program can facilitate a third form of collaboration provided by the psychiatrist, i.e. on-going training. The authors define this as the process of focusing in on the casework and psychotherapeutic competencies of the medical staff
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
Le procès pénal italien face au défi plurilingue : dissymétries terminologiques italien-français
No full textA une époque où le droit, dans un mouvement impressionnant de dénationalisation, d'internationalisation ou de supranationalisation, semble se délocaliser, la médiation interlinguistique et interculturelle, sous ses multiples facettes, revêt un rôle sans précédent. Même quand il s'applique à un espace national, le discours juridique s'adresse de nos jours, inévitablement, à des destinataires issus de cultures diverses, parlant des langues différentes. Plus : dans nos espaces juridiques et juridictionnels de plus en plus plurilingues et multiculturels, la formule « nul n'est censé ignorer la loi » n'a de sens désormais que si la langue du droit est aussi un droit à l'usage d'une langue. La traduction juridique, orale ou écrite, apparaît alors comme un processus fondamental de médiation, de négotiation et de transposition de formes et de contenus d’une langue à une autre, d’une culture à une autre, d’un groupe humain à un autre, d’une réalité à une autre, d'un système juridique et concept de la justice à un autre. Dans sa contribution, l'auteur aborde ce sujet dans une perspective comparatiste jurilinguistique et juritraductologique, en examinant des exemples concrets de différences terminologiques italien/français dans le domaine spécifique de la procédure pénale
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
