Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
The bureaucreative age : a parafiction on the aftermath of the creative industries
No full textAbstract: The parafictional documentary meandmywork and the (Bureau)Creative Age and the accompanying exhibition at the M HKA in Antwerp (24/02/2022 \u2013 20/03/2022) are the final result of visual artist Sarah Hendrickx\u2019s Phd research in the Arts at St Lucas Antwerp and the University of Antwerp. The Bureaucreative Age is a research that finds itself tangled within a corporate, economic and bureaucratic environment and is explored inside an artistic parafiction. The artist plays with an overlap between fact and fiction through the imagination of the Research Centre on Creative Abilities meandmywork. The story in which meandmywork is ultimately set up as a fictitious character, over-identifies itself with the bureaucratic and corporate processes experienced in the business field of creativity incorporated. In order to leave the door open for speculation, the research is an artistic act of futuring: a process to think about the future, envision what may happen, and to gain insight into actions to take in the present. Several different layers were constructed meticulously to work on the truthiness of the story while at the same time adjusting sentences, words, visuals, ways of editing, etc. that hint the fabrication of the whole fiction. Real interviews bring about other reflections and opinions and strengthen the documentary\u2019s credibility. Another part of the research enters the stage by means of an exhibition showcasing so called artefacts dating from The Bureaucreative Age and the journey of the Research Centre meandmywork, encouraging the viewer to step further inside its fiction. Finally, one side of the desk-calendar like publication reads the fictive story of meandmywork as it was published in the Artistic Research magazine Forum+ (Februari 2021, vol. 28 nr.1). The other side communicates the research trajectory and construction of the parafictional story. The parafiction of The Bureaucreative Age and the Research Centre on Creative Abilities meandmywork as its lead role, produce their meaning in the encounter with the spectator, creating a specific multiplicity while introducing a fatalistic version of what might happen when art and creativity get absorbed by corporate dominion
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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
Cin\ue9 place-making
No full textAbstract: In the artistic doctoral study Cin\ue9 Place-Making, Robin Vanbesien traces, through various artistic processes and projects, different cinematic ways of making common cause with situated practices of place-making. These practices emerge within various grassroots initiatives, networks, and social movements as people resist and dismantle the oppressive spaces to which they are involuntarily confined. This resistance is a response to the enduring legacies of colonial racial capitalism. Vanbesien explores how to work out the relationship between cinema and these place-making practices. He views cinema as a collaborative practice that allows other connections to emerge rather than reinforcing dominant meanings and subjectivities. This approach is crucial in revealing how dominant representations obscure the processes and institutions of power that differentially discriminate and dehumanize people. It\u2019s essential to envision a cinema that begins with a refusal to conform to the language, desires, and terms of these dominant representations. From this perspective, Vanbesien examines how cinema can offer a method to view the world differently. He investigates how it can help reclaim collective desire, intensity, and imagination for those involved in place-making. He proposes cin\ue9 place-making as a way to rehearse collective imaginaries, speculating on new approaches to creating concrete places for equally livable lives and habitable futures. How can cinema provide ways to acknowledge, reclaim, reassemble, rehearse, and redistribute the social collective body and sensory imagination of a situated practice of place-making? How to make a cinema that emerges from reassembly and recreation with assemblers who speak and act nearby these situated practices of place-making? Cin\ue9 place-making is a cinema of incompleteness. It is a kind of imperfect cinema, which initiates (new) social assemblies. How to contribute to the ongoing redistribution of such a cinema of place-making? The study, which ran from 2018 to 2024, encompasses three artistic projects: \u2018the wasp and the weather\u2019 (2018-2020), \u2018cin\ue9 assemblies\u2019 with The Post Film Collective (2020-2023) and \u2018Holding Rehearsals\u2019 (2021-2024). These projects culminated into cinematic outcomes that involve a lens and a screen - films and video-installations - but they also would encompass ways of sharing and presenting without them, before and after \u2013 in the form of study circles, workshops, performances, assemblies, archives and installations
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
