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
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
Violences de masse, autocensure et web diasporique: Quand l’enquête de terrain nous confronte à la question du positionnement en ligne
No full textConducting research among populations affected by mass violence, especially when such violence takes place in colonial contexts, raises ethical and methodological challenges that require reflexivity. Drawing on fieldwork conducted among the Uyghur diaspora of Istanbul between 2021 and 2023 for my PhD on Uyghur bread-making, I propose to address these challenges by examining the question of representation. In this article, I show how the people I met in the field confronted me not only with the issue of the representations, as a researcher, produce, but also with my own online positioning regarding the mass violence they are facing in their homeland.Conducting research among populations affected by mass violence, especially when such violence takes place in colonial contexts, raises ethical and methodological challenges that require reflexivity.

À partir de l’enquête de terrain que j’ai réalisée auprès de la diaspora ouïghoure d’Istanbul entre 2021 et 2023 dans le cadre de ma thèse de doctorat sur la boulangerie ouïghoure, je propose d’interroger ces enjeux en me concentrant sur la question des représentations. Dans le cadre de cet article, je montre comment les personnes que j’ai rencontrées sur le terrain m’ont non-seulement confronté à la question des représentations que je produis en tant que chercheur, mais aussi à celle de mon propre positionnement en ligne vis-à-vis des violences de masse auxquelles elles sont confrontées dans leur localité d’origine
Rompre le naan : boulangerie ouïghoure et colonisation chinoise, 1877-2023
No full textQuelle est la place de la boulangerie dans la société ouïghoure ? Comment cet ensemble de pratiques et de savoir-faire a-t-il été impacté par la colonisation chinoise ? Dans quelle mesure la boulangerie a-t-elle été mobilisée comme une ressource permettant à la société ouïghoure non seulement d’endurer cette colonisation, mais aussi de lui résister ? Basée sur une enquête de terrain de sept mois en Chine et en Turquie, complétée par l’analyse croisée de sources ouïghoures, chinoises et turques, cette thèse propose de répondre à ces questions en combinant approches historique et anthropologique du fait alimentaire en situation coloniale. Le pain, que les Ouïghours désignent au moyen du terme persan « naan » (Ouï. : nan نان), est ainsi envisagé comme un objet à la fois culturel et politique, qui permet de situer la société ouïghoure dans différents processus passés et contemporains : (1) son développement en tant que société sédentaire d’Asie centrale, dont les modes de vie et d’organisation sociale sont fortement ancrés dans l’agriculture paysanne, l’architecture climatique des oasis et l’islam soufi ; (2) la colonisation chinoise du Turkestan oriental, aujourd’hui officiellement désigné comme la Région autonome ouïghoure du Xinjiang, et la transformation progressive de ce territoire en colonie de peuplement de la République populaire de Chine ; (3) l’émergence de pratiques d’endurance et de résistance à la colonisation chinoise de peuplement dans lesquelles la boulangerie et le naan ont joué, et jouent toujours aujourd’hui, un rôle déterminant.What is the significance of bread-making in Uyghur society? What are the impacts of Chinese colonisation on this set of practices and know-how? To what extent has bread-making been mobilised as a resource allowing Uyghur society not only to endure colonisation, but also to resist it? This dissertation proposes to answer these questions by combining historical and anthropological approaches to food in colonial contexts. It draws on seven months of fieldwork in China and Türkiye, as well as a cross-analysis of Uyghur, Chinese and Turkish sources. Bread, which Uyghurs refer to by using the Persian word “naan” (Uy.: nan نان), is thus approached as a cultural and political object that can help us situate Uyghur society in different processes, past and present: (1) its development as a Central Asian sedentary society, whose lifeways and social organisation are deeply anchored in peasant agriculture, oasis climatic architecture and Sufi Islam; (2) the Chinese colonisation of East Turkestan, today officially named the Xinjiang Uyghur autonomous region, and the progressive transformation of this territory in a settler-colony of the People’s Republic of China; (3) the emergence of practices of endurance and resistance to Chinese settler colonialism in which bread-making and naan have played, and continue to play, a decisive role.تېما: « نان ئوشتۇش - ئۇيغۇر ناۋايلىقى ۋە خىتاي مۇستەملىكىچىلىكى،1877-2023 »

摘要：打馕手艺在维吾尔社会中有何意义？中国殖民统治对这一套实践及技艺产生了哪些影响？打馕在多大程度上被动员为一种资源，不仅使维吾尔社会得以在殖民化中坚持下来，还成为了一种抵抗手段？本论文通过结合历史学和人类学的方法研究殖民语境下的饮食文化，试图回答上述问题。论文基于作者在中国与土耳其长达七个月的实地工作，以及对维吾尔语、中文和土耳其语文献的交叉分析展开研究。维吾尔人用波斯语“naan”（维吾尔语：nan，نان）来指代的这种面饼被视为一种文化和政治对象，可帮助我们理解维吾尔社会在以下不同历史与当代进程中的位置：(1) 作为中亚定居社会的发展，其生活方式和社会组织深深植根于农业、绿洲气候建筑和伊斯兰教苏菲派； (2) 中国对东突厥斯坦（今天正式命名为新疆维吾尔自治区）的殖民统治，以及这片领土逐步转变为中华人民共和国的移民殖民地；(3) 在抵抗中国殖民主义过程中形成的坚韧与反抗实践中，打馕手艺及馕一直与持续所扮演的关键角色。</p
