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
Las \u3ci\u3eurnas\u3c/i\u3e zapotecas (Estado de Oaxaca, México): una iconografía del espacio y del tiempo
No full textLa cultura zapoteca (Estado de Oaxaca, México) es famosa por sus célebres “urnas funerarias”, de las que existen unas 4.000 en el mundo. Conocidas desde principios del siglo XIX, estas piezas han sido objetos de estudios iconográficos que, sin embargo, han incluido numerosas falsificaciones realizadas a raíz de su éxito. Las “urnas” zapotecas fueron el tema de una investigación doctoral realizada por el autor entre 1980 y 1985. Esta, basada en los informes de excavaciones publicados o conservados en los archivos, permitió reunir datos hasta entonces poco tratados, tanto sobre la evolución estilística como sobre su entorno (condiciones de descubrimiento, datación, etc.). Así, ha permitido situar la “urna funeraria” en su contexto arqueológico y cronológico. Sin embargo, hasta ahora este estudio sólo se había publicado parcialmente. Desde hace varios meses, se está realizando un gran esfuerzo para poner a disposición de la comunidad científica estos datos, en gran parte inéditos, permitiendo arrojar nueva luz sobre la evolución de la “urna” en el seno de la sociedad zapoteca. A través de su evolución formal e iconográfica, las “urnas” zapotecas están íntimamente ligadas a la evolución política y sociológica de la civilización zapoteca, y en particular de su capital Monte-Albán.
The Zapotec culture (Oaxaca State, Mexico) is famous for its ‘funerary urns’, of which there are some 4,000 in the world. Known since the beginning of the 19th century, these pieces have been the subject of iconographic studies, which have, however, included numerous forgeries made as a result of their success. The Zapotec “urns” were the subject of doctoral research carried out by the author between 1980 and 1985. This research, based on excavation reports published or preserved in archives, made it possible to gather data that had been little dealt with until then, both on stylistic evolution and on their environment (conditions of discovery, dating, etc.). It has thus made it possible to place the “funerary urn” in its archaeological and chronological context. However, until now, this study had only been partially published. For several months now, a great effort has been made to make this largely unpublished data available to the scientific community, shedding new light on the evolution of the ‘urn’ within Zapotec society. Through their formal and iconographic evolution, Zapotec ‘urns’ are intimately linked to the political and sociological evolution of the Zapotec civilisation, and in particular of its capital Monte-Albán
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
El museo desaparecido. Las colecciones del Museo Frissell de Arte Zapoteca de Mitla (Oaxaca, México)
Get PDFSan Pablo Villa de Mitla –ubicado a unos 50 km al este de Oaxaca de Juárez, capital del estado mexicano del mismo nombre– es célebre por sus ruinas precolombinas visitadas desde la época colonial. Pero el pueblo de Mitla –como se lo conoce comúnmente– también es –o más bien era– famoso por su museo: El Museo Frissell de Arte Zapoteco, una institución privada que apareció a principios de los años 50 y reunió la colección de arte zapoteca más importante del mundo, después de las del Museo Nacional de México y del Museo Regional de Oaxaca. Entre estas piezas, había un gran número de urnas funerarias, objetos –por excelencia– representativos de esa cultura local, que floreció durante el primer milenio de nuestra Era. Conocido y apreciado por los turistas y los científicos que, durante su visita a las ruinas cercanas, no dejaban de pararse en el museo, éste fue, sin embargo, cerrado en 1995 y, unos diez años más tarde, vaciado de sus colecciones; lo que desencadenó una violenta polémica entre las autoridades del Estado de Oaxaca y las asociaciones locales que reivindican la devolución de las colecciones. Este breve texto no pretende ser un estudio histórico, sino que debe considerarse como una recogida de recuerdos y un homenaje a quienes animaron una institución con la que muchos investigadores (incluido el autor de las presentes líneas) están en deuda: Ervin Frissell (1882-1978), Howard Leigh (1896-1981) y, especialmente, John Paddock (1918-1998).
San Pablo Villa de Mitla –located about 50 km east of Oaxaca de Juárez, capital of the Mexican state of the same name– is famous for its pre-Columbian ruins visited since colonial times. But the village of Mitla –as it is commonly known– is –or rather was– also well known for its museum: The Frissell Museum of Zapotec Art, a private institution that appeared in the early 1950s and gathered the most important collection of Zapotec art in the world, after those of the National Museum of Mexico and the Regional Museum of Oaxaca. Among these pieces, there were a great number of funerary urns, objects –par excellence– representative of that local culture, which flourished during the first millennium of our Era. Known and appreciated by tourists and scientists who, during their visit to the nearby ruins, did not fail to stop at the museum, it was, however, closed in 1995 and, about ten years later, emptied of its collections; which triggered a violent controversy between the authorities of the State of Oaxaca and local associations claiming the return of the collections. This brief text does not pretend to be a historical study but should be considered as a collection of memories and a tribute to those who animated an institution to which many researchers (including the author of the present lines) are indebted: Ervin Frissell (1882-1978), Howard Leigh (1896-1981) and, especially, John Paddock (1918-1998)
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
