Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
The 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
“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
We 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
We 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
We 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
Inestabilidad y mutabilidad del "yo" en "Zama" de Antonio di Benedetto
El trabajo se propone enfocar algunos resultados de un análisis de Zama (1956), novela del escritor mendozino Antonio di Benedetto, realizado mostrando el lento proceso de degeneración moral y psicológica del personaje Don Diego de Zama, y su consiguiente pérdida de contacto con la realidad (que se concretiza en momentos de visión), producido por la espera de una posición de mayor prestigio en una metrópolis americana. El análisis se enmarca dentro la "neurosis de la espera", la condición psicológica que Freud mencionó en 1892 en una nota sobre un caso clínico, mediante la cual puso de relieve el estado paralizado de la voluntad del paciente que se encuentra en la condición de la espera, su incapacidad de concebir un propósito y su imposibilidad de acción. Luego su trabajo dará más espacio a los estudios sobre angustia (Freud- Breuer, Estudios sobre histeria, 1895); sin embargo, la renuncia a cualquier intención o acción en nombre de una expectativa que deja al sujeto a merced del tiempo, se estaba convirtiendo en una de las figuras más útiles para entender la naturaleza y el destino del hombre contemporáneo (Melville, James, Hatworne, Buzzati). La espera llega a ser en uno de los estados más característicos del hombre en la ciudad moderna, el emblema de su soledad; es la condición de quienes, confundidos en la multitud, en la masa metropolitana, sienten que ya no tienen la fuerza para determinar su propio destino individual a través de su voluntad (Arrigo Stara "Solo tenemos que esperar". La expectativa en la literatura del siglo XX, 2016). En el caso de Zama, el tema también se abarca tratando el motivo de la dislocación geográfica de la colonia e de la identidad conflictiva, puesto que Don Diego de Zama es hispanoamericano pero pretende ser español y se encuentra en una tierra que no le es familiar a pesar del hecho de que es su tierra (América Latina). El análisis forma parte de un estudio más amplio sobre la espera en el ámbito de la narrativa hispanoamericana que estoy llevando a cabo y que tendrá en cuenta muchos casos, incluso el de la espera sin neurosis en la época de la impermanencia, es decir el siglo XXI
