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
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
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
Le rôle du comique dans la carrière de Justine Favart
No full textInternational audienceJustine Favart was a versatile artist and parodist with a developed sense of humour, well established in the dramatic community of the Enlightenment. She trained at the court of her first patron Stanislas Leszczynski and continued her career at the Foire, the Comédie-Italienne and in society theatres. The manuscripts of the Fonds Favart attest to the collaboration between her and her husband, a famous author of comic operas and a theatre entrepreneur. They contribute to showing the characteristics and role of comic art in this artist’s career and in the revival of the theatre of the period.Justine Favart fut une artiste polyvalente et une parodiste au sens de l’humour développé, bien ancrée dans la communauté dramatique du siècle des Lumières. Elle se forma à la cour de son premier mécène Stanislas Leszczynski et poursuivit sa carrière à la Foire, à la Comédie-Italienne et dans les théâtres de société. Les manuscrits du Fonds Favart attestent la collaboration avec son époux, célèbre auteur d’opéras-comiques et entrepreneur de spectacles. Ils contribuent à montrer les caractéristiques et le rôle de l’art comique dans la carrière de cette artiste et dans le renouveau du théâtre de l’époque
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe 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
L'atelier dramatique de Charles-Simon Favart d'après ses manuscrits
No full textCharles-Simon Favart fut un représentant de l'histoire des théâtres parisiens au XVIIIe siècle et, en particulier, de la Foire et de la Comédie-Italienne. À la fin de son "premier essai de jeunesse", il nota ces mots : "bon à jeter au feu". Cette affirmation fut répétée plusieurs fois dans d'autres manuscrits ; était-elle symptomatique du peu d'importance que l'auteur attachait au texte écrit, ou bien, cachait-elle autre chose? C'est la question que nous nous posions au début de notre recherche et du dépouillement des archives manuscrites de la famille Favart. Notre recherche a permis de mettre en lumière que Favart considéra l'écriture the âtrale comme un travail de recyclage et de remaniement de son répertoire. Il ne jeta pas ses manuscrits au feu, au contraire, il les conserva pour les réutiliser, et ceux-ci constituèrent la matière première de son travail comme un "bon magasin de choses faites". Pour l'auteur, la pièce était comme un métier à tisser permanent dont la base était savamment conservée. Il s'agissait d'une technique se rapprochant du pastiche, dans l'acception d'une imitation volontaire, menant à la variation sur thème. Les manuscrits de Favart demeurent un instrument essentiel à la compréhension de l'esthétique de l'auteur et de l'évolution de la dramaturgie française au XVIIIe siècle, ainsi qu'une source d'information sur les Foires, la Comédie-Italienne et les théâtres de société.Charles-Simon Favart was a representative of the history of Parisian theaters in the eighteenth century and in particular of the Foire and the Comédie-Italienne. At the end of his "premier essai de jeunesse", he noted these words: "bon à jeter au feu". This statement was repeated several times in other manuscripts; was it symptomatic of the little importance that the author attached to the written text or, did it hide something else? That is the question we ourselves asked at the beginning of our research and in the examination of the handwritten archives of the Favart family. Our research has revealed that Favart considered theatrical writing as a work of recycling and reshuffle of his repertoire. It does not cast his manuscripts to the fire, on the contrary, he kept for reuse and they formed the raw material for his work as a "bon magasin de choses faites". For the author, the play was like a weaving permanent whose base was cleverly retained. It was a technique that is close pastiche, in its imitation of a voluntary, leading to the change of theme. Favart manuscripts remain an essential tool in understanding the artistic inspiration of the author and the evolution of French drama in the eighteenth century, as well as a source of information on Foires, Comédie-Italienne and théâtres de société.PARIS4-BU Serpente (751052129) / SudocSudocFranceF
