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
L’opération de régénération des Docklands : entre patrimonialisation et invention d’un nouveau paysage urbain
Full text linkL’opération de régénération urbaine qui a transformé les docks du port de Londres en Docklands et substitué aux anciennes installations portuaires un quartier d’affaires et des logements de standing a revitalisé une zone en pleine déréliction dans les années 1960 et fait en partie basculer le centre de gravité de la métropole londonienne vers l’est. Si l’héritage industrialo-portuaire a été en partie conservé, surtout sous forme symbolique, c’est surtout une nouvelle manière de faire la ville qui a présidé au renouveau de cette zone. Aujourd’hui c’est un nouveau paysage urbain mais aussi une nouvelle urbanité qui peut se lire dans cette partie de l’agglomération.An operation of urban regeneration transformed the docks of London’s harbour into “The Docklands” in the early 1980s’. It substituted a business district and luxury housing to ancient harbour facilities and revitalized a zone in total dereliction in the 1960s. It also partially shifts the centre of gravity of the metropolis of London eastward. If the industrialo-harbour inheritance was partially preserved, especially in symbolic shape, it is mainly a new way of making the city which presided over the revival of this zone. Today it is a new townscape but also a new urbanity that can be read in this part of town.Die Sanierungsarbeiten, die das ehemalige Hafengelände von London in Docklands einem Finanz- und Wohnungsviertel verwandelt haben, führen zu einer Revitalisierung eines im Lauf der 60er Jahre in Niedergang Geländes. So hat sich der Schwerpunkt der Londoner Metropole nach Osten verlagert. Wenn das Industriehafenerbe teilweise insbesondere als Symbol aufbewahrt wurde, hat sich eine neue Weise des Stadtbaues für die Renovierung dieses Stadtteils durchgesetzt. Heute sind in diesem Stadtteil eine neue Landschaft und eine neue Urbanität entstanden
L'espace public des Docklands : quand le privé fait la ville / The public spaces of the Docklands : urban development and the private sector
No full textIn the 1980s, the Docklands, an immense abandoned zone adjacent to the City of London, become the largest site of urban renovation in Europe. Through the impetus of government authorities, this repulsive area became a centre of investment and indeed speculation. Complete freedom was given to the developers : no master plan guided the development and no regulations controlled the height of buildings or the use of land and the isle of Dogs was granted the status of an 'enterprise zone' for ten years. The Canary Wharf Tower, which symbolises the transformation of the Docklands, is the most emblematic construction resulting from the principles which guided the areas redevelopment. The urbanism born of this policy of deregulation raises the question of the role of architective and public places in the creation of urban areas. Taken alone, architecture, irrespective of the quality of the volume built, is shown to be incapable of creating an urban form and especially urbanity. However, public areas, as both places and linking mechanisms of urbanity, appear as the indispensible framework for the creation of an urban fabric and as an essential structural element to produce a lasting sector of the city.Dans les années 1980, les Docklands, immense zone désaffectée aux portes de la City de Londres, deviennent le plus grand chantier de rénovation urbaine d'Europe. Sous l'impulsion des pouvoirs publics, cette zone répulsive devient une zone d'investissements, voire de spéculation. Une totale liberté est laissée aux aménageurs : aucun plan d'ensemble ne guide le réaménagement, aucune prescription ne régule la hauteur des constructions ou l'affectation des terrains, et l'Ile aux Chiens acquiert pour 10 ans le statut de zone franche. La Tour de Canary Wharf, devenue le symbole de la métamorphose des Docklands, est la réalisation la plus emblématique des principes qui ont guidé ce réaménagement. L'urbanisme né de cette politique de dérégulation permet de s'interroger sur le rôle de l'architecture et des espaces publics dans la fabrication de la ville. A elle seule, l'architecture, quelle que soit la qualité des volumes bâtis, se révèle incapable de créer de l'urbain et encore moins de l'urbanité. En revanche, l'espace public, en tant que lieu et lien de l'urbanité, apparaît comme l'ossature vide indispensable à la constitution du tissu urbain et un élément structurant essentiel pour fabriquer durablement un morceau de ville.Michon Perrine.
