Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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

The immoralism in André Gide's romantic work
No full textDans cette thèse, nous étudions l’immoralisme dans l’œuvre romanesque d’André Gide. Le premier chapitre est consacré non seulement à l’approche théorique et méthodologique mais aussi à l’analyse de la subversion que nous considérons comme l’un des vecteurs de l’immoralisme dans l’œuvre romanesque d’André Gide. Le second chapitre et la seconde partie relèvent de la sémiotique du sensible, des passions et la sémiotique tensive. De même, dans la seconde partie, nous démontrons que l’immoraliste est un sujet en tension en déterminant les différentes passions auxquelles se rattache le thème de l’immoralisme dans l’œuvre romanesque d’André Gide. La troisième partie traite de l’échec de l’immoralisme. En nous basant sur l’étude de la passion du désespoir, de la pitié, des simulacres passionnels, des modalités véridictoires, la forme de vie de l’anticonformisme, la forme de vie de la volupté, la forme de vie de l’errance et de l’éthique individualiste, nous notons que l’immoralisme est un échec et conduit à l’impossible bonheur. C’est d’ailleurs, la raison pour laquelle, le sujet immoraliste finit par renoncer à ses valeurs individuelles pour se conjoindre à celles de l’actant collectif.In this thesis, we study the immoralism in André Gide’s romantic work. The first chapter is devoted not only to the theoretical and methodological approach but also to the analysis of subversion which we consider as one of the vectors of immoralism in André Gide’s romantic work. The second chapter and the second part make out the semiotics of the sensitive, passions and tensive. Similarly, in the second part, we demonstrate that immoralist is a subject in tension by determining the different passions to which is linked the theme of immoralism in André Gide’s romantic work. The third part deals with the failure of immoralism. Based on the study of the passion of despair, pity, passional simulacra, veridictory modalities, the life form of anticonformism, the life form of pleasure, the life form of wandering and individualistic ethic, we note that immoralism is a failure and leads to the impossible happiness. This is also the reason why the immoralist subject eventually renounces his individual values to be conjoined with those of the collective actant
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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
