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
Seyla Benhabib, Die Rechte der Anderen. Ausländer, Migranten, Bürger
Full text linkSeyla Benhabib greift in ihrem neuen Buch „Die Rechte der Anderen“ eines der zentralen politischen Themen unserer Zeit auf: Die Frage nach der politischen Zugehörigkeit. Anlass dazu gibt ihr das Dilemma, in dem sich Flüchtlinge und Staatenlose befinden, also jene Menschen, die ihre Staatsangehörigkeit verloren haben und von jeder politischen Zugehörigkeit ausgeschlossen sind
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
Arendt and Kant: the Equal Others and an “Extended Way of Thinking”
Full text linkPromišljajući o dvama velikim rezovima u ljudskoj povijesti u sredini posljednjega stoljeća, čije su šifre Auschwitz i Kolima, i istodobnoj krizi političkoga mišljenja, Hannah Arendt nije samo radikalno podvrgla kritici tradicijski odnos filozofije i politike, nego je i temeljito iznova odredila uobičajene pojmove političkoga mišljenja. Nije samo kritizirala odsutno držanje tradicijske filozofije spram politike, nego je ujedno za one koji su, ne svojom voljom, isključeni iz života političke zajednice zahtijevala uvjete za mogućnost participacije: pravo da imaju prava. Poveznica između krajnosti toga samo naizgled disparatnoga pokreta mišljenja nastala je u H. Arendt ponajprije iz osobnoga iskustva: osamnaest godina dijelila je iskustvo izbjeglica i apatrida, a kao “izučena” filozofkinja poznavala je kobno držanje filozofa kao takva prema politici. Kako se onda mogu povezati filozofija i politika? Kakvo značenje ima mišljenje za političko, a kakvu relevantnost političko za mišljenje? To su pitanja koja zaokupljaju H. Arendt i koja ona osvjetljava iz različitih perspektiva. Tragajući za odgovorima, ona se na koncu okreće filozofiji Immanuela Kanta. Ovdje želimo prikazati kako se H. Arendt kroz Kantovu filozofiju oprašta od tradicijske filozofije.In reflecting on the two major cuts in the human history in mid-20th century, whose codes are Auschwitz and Kolima, and the simultaneous crisis of political thought, not only did Hannah Arendt radically challenge the traditional relationship between philosophy and politics, but she also thoroughly redefined the established concepts of political thought. Not only did she criticise the absent-minded attitude of traditional philosophy towards politics, but, at the same time, she requested the conditions necessary for the possibility of participation for those who were, not willingly, excluded from the life of the political community: entitlement to rights. The connection, which linked the extremes of this only seemingly disparate course of thinking, arose in Hannah Arendt primarily from her personal experience: for 18 years she shared the experience of refugees and stateless persons – and as a “trained” philosopher she knew all about the fatal attitude of the philosopher as such toward politics. How, then, can philosophy and politics be put together? What is the significance of thought for the political and what is the relevance of the political for thought – these are the questions on Hannah Arendt’s mind, which she elucidates from different perspectives. In quest of answers, she eventually turns to Imannuel Kant’s philosophy. Here we wish to present how H. Arendt, through Kant’s philosophy, bids farewell to traditional philosophy
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
