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
O wyimku z prasowej dyskusji i autokomentarzu do „Astronautów" Stanisława Lema (z historii kształtowania się w Polsce teorii literatury fantastycznonaukowej po drugiej wojnie światowej)
No full textArtykuł poświęcony jest dwugłosowi o powieści Stanisława Lema „Astronauci" (1951), który został zamieszczony na łamach periodyku „Nowa Kultura”. Uczestnikami dyskusji byli: Zofia Woźnicka, Ludwik Grzeniewski i Stanisław Lem, będący zarazem polemistą krytyków, jak i komentatorem własnej powieści. Dyskusja ta jest jedną z najwcześniejszych po wojnie (a z pewnością najbardziej rozbudowaną) prób eksplikacji postulowanych wobec fantastyki naukowej zobowiązań – zarówno estetycznych, jak i pozaartystycznych. Werbalizacja oczekiwań w stosunku do opowieści o „świecie Jutra” pozwala na rekonstrukcję ówczesnej – dość nikłej – świadomości genologicznej i sposobów „oswojenia” nowego w kulturze powojennej zjawiska literackiego. Omówione w szkicu głosy krytyczne dotyczące powieści Lema można traktować jako świadectwa kształtowania się teoretycznej świadomości genologicznej: zarówno krytyki literackiej, jak i samego pisarza.The article focuses on the discussion between Zofia Woźnicka, Ludwik Grzeniewski and Stanislaw Lem concerning his "The Astronauts" (1951), which was published in the Nowa Kultura [the New Culture] periodical. The author of the novel was both the commentator of his own work, as well as the polemist towards the critics. This discussion in one of the earliest attempts after the war (and definitely the most elaborate one) to explain the expectations of the science fiction – both aesthetic and non-artistic ones. These verbalized expectations of the “story of Tomorrow” allow the reconstruction of the contemporary genological awareness – which was quite faint – and the ways of “taming” the new literary phenomenon in the post-war culture. Critical approaches discussed in the article concerning Lem’s novel can be treated as the proof that the awareness of genological theory begun to develop. This relates both to the literary criticism and the author himself
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
Chapter From the history of the post-war researches on popular culture and literature
No full textThe aim of the article was to present how the researchers’ approach to the issues of popular culture and literature changed after 1945. The author focuses on the effect that the socio-political and market conditions had on perceiving pop culture and literature. For the purposes of clarity, in the article the period beginning from 1945 was divided into subperiods, each marked by specific tendencies which had the greatest impact on public imagination and on understanding the role that the circulation of popular culture had in social life. At the same time, one can easily notice the development of reflection over the popular culture, which finally leads to depriving it of any function in the times of socialist realism (1949–1956): from accepting some of its indications and simultaneous understanding it in terms of ideology (1957–1990), to strong tendencies of treating pop-cultural creations as a proof of cultural changes of the modern world – especially visible in the latest researches
