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
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
Martin Jim Aitken: 11 March 1922 - 13 June 2017
Get PDFMartin Jim Aitken was a pioneering physicist who profoundly influenced the new discipline of archaeometry, bridging physics to archaeology and revolutionizing artefact dating and analysis methods. Born and raised in Lincolnshire, he accepted a radio bursary to Wadham College, Oxford in 1941. After four years' RAF service during the Second World War, he returned to Oxford, completing BA and MA studies in physics, a DPhil and early postdoctoral research in nuclear physics at the Clarendon Laboratory. In 1957 his career shifted when he led the application of neutron activation analysis to ancient coins, sparking a lifelong devotion to archaeological science. He innovated the use of proton free precession to detect buried remains, in 1958 uncovering Romano-British kilns at Durobrivae and defensive earthen structures at Verulamium, then introduced ‘archaeomagnetism’, utilizing remanent magnetism measurements to reconstruct Earth’s magnetic field history. His greatest contribution soon followed: establishing thermoluminescence dating of pottery and burnt flints as an indispensable technique in archaeology and human origins research. He subsequently developed optically stimulated luminescence and infrared stimulated luminescence for dating sediments, transformational for both Earth sciences and prehistory. As Oxford professor of archaeometry and, for 30 years, the distinguished deputy director of the Research Laboratory for Archaeology and the History of Art (RLAHA) at Oxford, he was a passionate educator and science communicator. He founded the journal Archaeometry, established international symposia and conferences to promote knowledge-sharing, and left a deep legacy extending through his students, colleagues, the impact of RLAHA and international scientific communities, which he inspired
