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

Full text linkAlexandre Herculano’s História do Estabelecimento da Inquisição em Portugal is a pioneering and fundamental work for the historiography of the Portuguese Inquisition. In its three volumes, Herculano addressed the introduction of the Inquisition in 16th-century Portugal and the role D. João III played in it – considered to be its main architect – from the prism of the virulent polemics in which he was involved, particularly with some sectors of Portuguese Catholicism. The controversy surrounding his work – which focused on the period immediately preceding the establishment of the court and the first years of its operation – arose during his lifetime. Herculano, during the years that took him to complete the edition of the three volumes and in the transition from the first to the second edition, modified some parts of the text and changed the title from Attempt to History, showing a clearly assertive intentionality in this second version. Albeit a work of its own time, the documental support on which it was anchored, fruit of Herculano’s lengthy period as director of important Portuguese libraries and archives, explains why the work has had many readers over time and, still today, it is an unavoidable presence in the bibliographies of the historiography on the Portuguese Inquisition.A História do Estabelecimento da Inquisição em Portugal de Alexandre Herculano constitui-se como uma obra pioneira e fundamental para a historiografia do Santo Ofício português. Dedicada ao período imediatamente anterior ao estabelecimento do tribunal e aos primeiros anos do seu funcionamento, nos seus três volumes o escritor projeta as polémicas virulentas em que estava envolvido, sobretudo com alguns setores do catolicismo português, na sua leitura do século XVI e, muito em particular, no reinado de D. João III, considerado o grande obreiro da introdução da Inquisição no reino. A controvérsia em torno da obra surgiu logo no seu tempo e mesmo o autor, ao longo dos anos que tardou a publicação completa dos três volumes e na passagem da primeira para a segunda edição, afinou algumas partes do texto e mudou o título de Tentativa para História, mostrando uma intencionalidade claramente assertiva nesta segunda versão. Sendo, sem dúvida, uma obra do seu tempo, o sustentáculo documental em que ancorava, fruto do labor de muitos anos de Herculano como diretor de importantes bibliotecas e arquivos portugueses faz com que a obra tenha tido muitos leitores ao longo do tempo e, ainda hoje, seja presença incontornável nas bibliografias da historiografia sobre a Inquisição portuguesa

Full text linkA preliminary survey on Franciscan documents in the Directorate of Archives and Archaeology (Panaji, Goa)
No full textIn the 19th century, the suppression of the Religious Orders in the wake of the definite implementation of a Liberal Government in Portugal led the authorities in Goa to seize the rich and extensive archives of the colleges and convents throughout the Estado da Índia. However, unlike the archives of the Dominicans, Augustinians or Oratorians, which are kept at the Directorate of Archives and Archaeology in Panaji, Goa, the records from both Franciscan Provinces (Madre de Deus and São Tomé) are nowhere to be found. This article aims to highlight the potential of the Directorate of Archives and Archaeology’s holdings in order to further the knowledge of Franciscan presence in Asia by exploring documentary series not directly produced by Franciscans.Keywords: Archives; Directorate of Archives and Archaeology; Goa; Province of Madre de Deus; Province of São Tom
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

Full text linkAppropriate 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
As inquisições modernas: poder político, religião e sociedade entre a Europa e o Atlântico
Full text linkOs textos reunidos no livro refletem sobre a Inquisição no plural, focando na periferia dos tribunais inquisitoriais. Além disso, intenta-se problematizar as diferenças de ação entre os tribunais metropolitanos e os coloniais; no caso português, como age o Santo Ofício na metrópole e na colônia. Escrito em linguagem acessível, as(os) leitoras(es) entrarão em contato com pesquisas acadêmicas atuais, que tratam de temas que interessarão tanto a estudantes de história, quanto àqueles interessados na diversidade dos estudos sobre o campo religioso.Salvado
