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
Les enfants de chœur des maîtrises du centre de la France : les institutions capitulaires d’éducation et leurs élèves aux XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles
No full textIn modern France of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, cathedrals and collegiate chapters maintain, for the most part and since medieval times, a choirboy school (maîtrises capitulaires). Parallel structure to the classic’s educational institutions and plays an important role in the liturgy and music of these churches, the maîtrise welcome a variable number of childrens who, after a course of seven to ten years in which they received a general education and a solid musical training, are oriented toward the priesthood, the musical career, or help in learning a trade. This study takes a broad framework for geographical center of France involving eight former dioceses in order to obtain the largest view possible of these original institutions and of these social group full of immense historical interest as the intersection of a multitude of both economic and social, cultural, liturgical and musical issues.Dans la France moderne des XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles, chapitres cathédraux et collégiaux entretiennent, pour la plupart et depuis l’époque médiévale, une maîtrise capitulaire. Structures de formation originales parallèles aux institutions scolaires classiques et jouant un rôle important dans la liturgie et la musique de ces églises, la maîtrise accueille un nombre variable d’enfants qui, au terme d’un cursus de sept à dix ans au cours duquel ils ont reçu un enseignement général et une solide formation musicale, sont orientés vers la prêtrise, la carrière de musicien, ou aidés dans l’apprentissage d’un métier. Cette étude prend pour cadre géographique un large centre de la France regroupant huit anciens diocèses de manière à obtenir un panorama le plus complet possible de ces institutions originales et de ce groupe social à part entière d’un immense intérêt historique car au croisement d’une multitude d’enjeux tant économiques et sociaux que culturels, liturgiques et musicaux
