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
Regard sur les statuettes hindoues et bouddhiques en bronze d’Indonésie. Leur rôle pour la connaissance de la civilisation javanaise ancienne et ses liens avec l’Asie du Sud et du Sud-Est
Full text linkBien que les statuettes hindoues et bouddhiques en bronze constituent l’un des vestiges majeurs de la civilisation indonésienne ancienne (Ve-XVIe siècles), peu de chercheurs s’y sont intéressés. Pourtant, ce sont des objets facilement transportables qui ont de toute évidence joué un rôle dans les échanges culturels développés entre l’Inde et l’Indonésie à cette époque. Les bronzes nous permettent ainsi de mieux comprendre la nature et les directions des échanges religieux et artistiques au sein de cette partie de l’Asie où le bouddhisme et l’hindouisme ont tant inspiré la culture matérielle. Une étude comparative des styles et des iconographies des bronzes trouvés en Indonésie et de ceux découverts en Inde révèle les régions précises avec lesquelles les contacts se sont produits, tout en les situant dans le temps. Aussi, les spécialistes pensaient d’abord que la culture indienne avait été transplantée en Indonésie, suggérant la passivité et l’absence de modifications ou d’innovations de la part de la culture réceptrice. Désormais, ils mettent l’accent sur un processus bilatéral, motivé par l’intérêt mutuel des civilisations de part et d’autre de la Baie du Bengale. L’étude des bronzes nous éclaire sur les évolutions de la production et met en évidence les emprunts, les transformations et les ajouts, tant iconographiques que stylistiques, qui montrent l’originalité des artisans indonésiens. Les statuettes en bronze contribuent ainsi à une meilleure connaissance de la civilisation indonésienne ancienne et de ses liens avec l’Asie du Sud et du Sud-Est.Although Hindu and Buddhist bronze statuettes constitute one of the major vestiges of ancient Indonesian civilisation (fifth–sixteenth centuries), few researchers take an interest in them. Yet they are easily transportable objects that evidently played a role in the cultural exchanges between India and Indonesia during this period. The bronzes enable us to better understand the nature and directions of the religious and artistic exchanges in this part of Asia, where Buddhism and Hinduism greatly inspired the material culture. A comparative study of the styles and iconographies of the bronzes found in Indonesia and those discovered in India reveals the exact regions with which there was contact as well as the historical period. Thus, specialists initially thought that Indian culture had been transplanted to Indonesia, suggesting the passivity and the absence of modifications or innovations on the part of the receiving culture
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
Images bouddhiques et hindoues en métal d'Indonésie. Indications de réseaux artistiques et religieux partagés à travers l'Asie (c. VIe-Xe siècle)
No full textCette thèse est la première étude de grande envergure sur les statues bouddhiques et hindoues en métal (bronze, alliages d'or et d'argent) des îles occidentales de l'archipel indonésien (Java, Sumatra, Kalimantan, Bawean, Bali, Lombok) depuis la publication du catalogue Divine Bronze, il y a 31 ans (Lunsingh Scheurleer et Klokke 1988).Pour surmonter les limites des études passées, j'utilise dans cette thèse de doctorat une approche axée sur les réseaux inspirée par l'idée de De Casparis d'un « réseau complexe de relations » reliant l'Asie du Sud-Est maritime et l'Inde (1983). De plus, j’applique une méthodologie multidisciplinaire combinant les méthodes d'analyse stylistique et iconographique de l'histoire de l'art avec l'archéométallurgie (examens visuels, radiographie aux rayons X, tomographie neutronique, analyses élémentaires), l'archéologie pour la cartographie des lieux de découverte, ainsi que les études religieuses pour comprendre l'histoire de l'utilisation et les fonctions rituelles des images sacrées. En examinant cinq études de cas tirées du plus grand corpus jamais considéré d'images métalliques indonésiennes provenant de collections muséales aujourd'hui conservées en Indonésie, en Europe et aux États-Unis, mon étude met en évidence les connexions entre l'archipel et d'autres régions asiatiques – comprenant non seulement l'Asie du Sud, mais aussi l'Asie de l'Est – dans une vaste sphère cosmopolite d'interaction et pendant une longue période. En outre, les images métalliques sont considérées comme la preuve non seulement de contacts artistiques, mais aussi d'interactions religieuses et techniques entre les régions.This thesis is the first large-scale study of Buddhist and Hindu metal statues (i.e. bronze, gold and silver alloys) from the western islands of the Indonesian Archipelago (Java, Sumatra, Kalimantan, Bawean, Bali, Lombok) since the publication of the catalogue Divine Bronze 31 years ago (Lunsingh Scheurleer & Klokke 1988). To overcome limitations of past studies, I use a network approach inspired by De Casparis’s idea of a “complicated network of relations” linking maritime Southeast Asia and India (1983). Additionally, I apply a multidisciplinary methodology combining art historical methods of stylistic and iconographic analyses with archaeometallurgy (visual examinations, X-ray radiography, neutron tomography, elemental analyses), archaeology for mapping find-spots, as well as religious studies to understand the history of use and ritual functions of sacred images. Examining five case studies drawn from the largest corpus ever considered of Indonesian metal images from museum collections today kept in Indonesia, Europe, and the U.S., my study highlights connections between the Archipelago and other Asian regions—including not only South Asia, but also East Asia—within a large cosmopolitan sphere of interaction and over a long period of time. Furthermore, metal images are seen as evidence of not only artistic contacts, but also of religious and technological interactions between regions
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
