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
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
"La chance d'être là": Le travail dans la mode entre glamour et précarité
No full textCette thèse explore les formes de précarité dans le capitalisme contemporain à partir de la mode. Par une ethnographie menée auprès des travailleurs de «l’immatériel », à Paris et à Bruxelles (stylistes, mannequins, photographes, créateurs, journalistes, maquilleurs…), j’y explore le système de la mode, en analysant les circulations globales des imaginaires, des produits et des travailleurs, aussi bien que les productions de subjectivités et les modes d’assujettissement qui sont propres à cette industrie. Les restructurations du capitalisme du demi-siècle dernier ont fait de la mode « le rêve », à savoir la projection idéale des imaginaires capitalistes, mais aussi un horizon désirable pour les subjectivités que le capitalisme même produit. La thèse montre que, dans la mode, les productions d'imaginaires et les productions matérielles sont étroitement imbriquées. En outre, l’économie de la mode repose sur une règle du jeu selon laquelle les métiers et les prestations professionnelles les plus valorisés sont les moins payés. Le prestige et le pouvoir symbolique conférés par le fait d’« être là », dans la mode, y sont indissociables d’un certain degré de domination et de précarité.En allant au-delà de l’imaginaire d’exceptionnalité médiatisé de la mode, il ressort de l’enquête que les travailleurs eux-mêmes combinent esprit entrepreneurial, incorporation des dominations et précarité. Dans la mode, la subjectivité est utilisée aussi bien pour la composante créative du travail, que pour la gestion des émotions, du corps, et des relations, comme dans de nombreux autres secteurs des productions néolibérales.info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublishe
Au coeur de la mode: l’expérience de Thierry comme fashion designer
No full textWhat the transformations of the fashion designer’s work can tell us about capitalism? Starting from the testimony of Thierry - fashion designer who worked in the heart of the fashion industry from the 1960s until the 2000s and assisted Karl Lagerfeld for ten years - this paper point out the correlations between the transformations of this profession and the different phases of capitalism. In line with the anthropological approach that aims to rise in general from ethnographic situations, fashion is considered fertile ground to analyze the transformations of the meaning and the nature of work in contemporary capitalism. Particular attention is paid to visibility issues. The material mobilized comes from an ethnography conducted in Paris and Brussels by creative workers in the fashion industry.Qu’est-ce que les transformations du travail du créateur de mode peuvent nous apprendre sur le capitalisme? À partir du témoignage de Thierry - créateur de mode ayant travaillé au coeur de l’industrie de la mode des années 1960 aux années 2000 et ayant assisté Karl Lagerfeld pendant dix ans - cet article met en évidence les corrélations entre les transformations de ce métier et les différentes phases du capitalisme. En ligne avec à l’approche anthropologique visant à monter en généralité à partir de situations ethnographiques, la mode est ici considérée étant comme un terrain fertile pour analyser les transformations du sens et de la nature du travail dans le capitalisme contemporain. Une attention particulière est accordée aux problèmes de visibilité. Le matériel mobilisé provient d’une ethnographie réalisée à Paris et à Bruxelles par des créateurs du secteur de la mode.O que as transformações do trabalho do designer de moda podem nos dizer sobre o capitalismo? A partir do testemunho de Thierry – designer de moda que trabalhou no coração da indústria da moda a partir dos anos 1960 até os anos 2000 e assistiu Karl Lagerfeld por dez anos –, este trabalho visa apontar as correlações entre as transformações desta profissão e as diferentes fases do capitalismo. Em consonância com a abordagem antropológica que em geral se busca levantar a partir de situações etnográficas, a moda é considerada um terreno fértil para analisar as transformações do sentido e da natureza do trabalho no capitalismo contemporâneo. É dada especial atenção aos problemas de visibilidade. O material mobilizado vem de uma etnografia realizada em Paris e Bruxelas por trabalhadores criativos da indústria da moda
