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
Mentalization, epistemic trust and externalizing problem in adolescence|MENTALIZZAZIONE, FIDUCIA EPISTEMICA E DISTURBI ESTERNALIZZANTI IN ADOLESCENZA
No full textMentalization is the ability to understand one’s own and others’ behaviors in terms of mental states and has recently been linked to epistemic trust, namely the ability to acquire knowledge from others. Recently, these constructs have been found to protect the adolescent individual from the risk of emotion dysregulation, which is notoriously involved in externalizing problems. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate whether there is an association between epistemic trust and mentalizing abilities, and how this can influence the emergence of externalizing problems. Thus, 132 nonclinical adolescents (Mage = 15.96, SD = 1.70; Female 46%), completed a self-report test battery which included the Reflective Functioning Questionnaire for Youth, the Inventory of Parents and Peer Attachment, and the Youth Self-Report. Results from the regression models show that the ability to mentalize and adequate epistemic trust may play a protective role from the risk of developing externalizing problems. Although these preliminary results significantly contribute to a recent research area that is increasingly getting attention, further studies are needed to deeper understand how these constructs are associated
