Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
The 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
À la découverte du temps et des hommes en Provence à travers les archives d'Annie-Hélène Dufour
Plus de dix ans après le dépôt à la phonothèque de la MMSH en juillet 2007, le traitement du fonds Annie-Hélène Dufour est désormais achevé et le catalogage disponible sur la plateforme Calames. Au cours de ces années, quelques seize archivistes et stagiaires de la phonothèque ((Germille Fargeot (2007), Laetitia Nicolas (2008), Flora Faure-Mateos (2008), Nacha Umbelina-Neto (2008), Marie Doumain (2010), Corinne Cassé (2012), Marine Soubrié (2016), Hélène Colombié (2017), Matteo Cialone (2017)..
Variations on the Author
“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
We 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
Dive into Europeana to listen to the sea
In December, the Centre national de la recherche scientifique (CNRS) present music and sound archive collections, picked up from the following centres : Centre de recherche en ethnomusicologie (CREM), the Centre de Recherche sur l’Espace Sonore et l’environnement urbain (CRESSON) and from the phonothèque de la Maison Méditerranéenne des Sciences de l’Homme (MMSH). The CNRS preserves and disseminates field investigations materials produced by researchers in humanities and social sciences. We m..
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
We 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
Expériences et actualités en direct du Cines : retour sur la journée utilisateurs du 21 septembre 2018
La sixième édition de la journée utilisateurs PAC (Plateforme d’Archivage au CINES) s’est tenue au Cines à Montpellier le 21 septembre. Deux grands axes y étaient développés : les questions et actualités relatives à l’archivage sur le long terme et le retour d'expérience des utilisateurs. Avant de revenir sur ce qui s'est dit durant cette journée, il nous semble important de souligner qu'un débat reste ouvert, à savoir que recouvre exactement le terme d’archivage numérique pérenne ? Peut-..
Plongez dans Europeana pour écouter la mer
Au cours du mois de décembre, une sélection d’archives sonores du CNRS - celles du Centre de recherche en ethnomusicologie (CREM), du Centre de Recherche sur l’Espace Sonore et l’environnement urbain (CRESSON) et de la phonothèque de la Maison Méditerranéenne des Sciences de l’Homme (MMSH) - sur la thématique de la mer sont mises en avant sur la plateforme Europeana à partir des fonds d’Europeana Music. Le CNRS conserve et valorise des archives sonores d’enquêtes réalisées sur le terrain pa..
