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
O diálogo dos tempos: memória da escravidão, história e identidade racial entre os afro-brasileiros
No full textEste trabalho busca o entendimento da questão da formação da identidade racial entre a
população afro-brasileira, abordando, por um lado, a questão do papel memória do cativeiro
presente em depoimentos de pessoas oriundas do mundo rural do Sudeste/Sul e herdeiros da
memória dos últimos escravos brasileiros; e, por outro lado, a afirmação dessa identidade no seio do
Movimento Negro brasileiro contemporâneo, mais especificamente através da análise da formação
de organizações negras no Rio de Janeiro dos anos 1970 e do surgimento de uma intelectualidade
ligada a esse Movimento
Escravidão e subjetividades
No full textPara além do Atlântico negro de Paul Gilroy, o Atlântico da escravidão, noção abrangente cujas fronteiras vão ao coração dos continentes, ainda que constantemente retrabalhado por subdivisões linguísticas (o Atlântico lusófono, francófono, anglófono...) ou hemisféricas (Atlântico Sul, Norte). Este livro, no entanto, desafia essas fronteiras: surge como uma história cruzada entre o Atlântico Sul e o Atlântico Norte, entre um espaço lusófono e um outro, francófono; entre datas da abolição da escravatura separadas no tempo. Busca definir os vínculos, os efeitos de convergência, bem como as diferenças entre esses mundos. O livro reúne 12 historiadores para pensar as ligações entre escravidão, pós-escravidão, cidadania e subjetividade, entre os séculos XVII e XX, no Atlânticoda Escravidão

Esclavage et subjectivités
No full textAu-delà de l’Atlantique noir de Paul Gilroy, l’Atlantique de l’esclavage, notion englobante dont les frontières vont jusqu’au cœur des continents, a cependant été en permanence retravaillé par des subdivisions linguistiques (l’Atlantique lusophone, francophone, anglophone…) ou hémisphériques (Atlantique Sud, Nord). Ce livre, au contraire, bouscule ses frontières : il se pose comme une histoire croisée entre l’Atlantique Sud et l’Atlantique Nord, entre un espace lusophone et un autre, francophone ; entre des dates d’abolition de l’esclavage diachroniques. Il tente d’en définir les liens, les effets de convergence tout autant que de différences. Cet ouvrage rassemble douze historiens pour penser les liens entre esclavage, post-esclavage, citoyenneté et subjectivité, entre le xviie et le xxe siècles
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
