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
Changing times change translations? Reflections on the links between (r)evolution and translation
No full textEste livro nasceu de uma ideia e deve entender-se como um gesto político, no sentido amplo da palavra. Num tempo em que, na academia, a globalização acontece frequentemente sob a égide e quase exclusiva hegemonia do inglês, importou-nos fazer um livro numa língua por muitos considerada periférica, apesar dos seus mais de 200 milhões de falantes por todo o mundo. (...) Este volume é constituído por treze ensaios que refletem, de múltiplas formas, sobre a relação entre o impulso para (não) traduzir e o gesto revolucionário ou o seu amordaçamento ao longo dos tempos. Dividido em quatro partes e uma coda, Mudam-se os tempos, mudam-se as traduções? propõe uma reflexão diferenciada em torno da relação dos esforços tradutórios com impulsos de transgressão a ou, inversamente, de preservação do gosto dominante.This book was born from an idea and should be understood as a political gesture, in the broad sense of the word. At a time when, in academia, globalization often takes place under the aegis and almost exclusive hegemony of English, it was important for us to write a book in a language considered by many to be peripheral, despite its more than 200 million speakers around the world. (...) This volume consists of thirteen essays that reflect, in multiple ways, on the relationship between the impulse to (not) translate and the revolutionary gesture or its muzzling over time. Divided into four parts and a coda, Mudam-se os tempos, mudam-se as traduções? proposes a differentiated reflection on the relationship between translation efforts and impulses of transgression or, conversely, of preservation of the dominant taste.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
Censorship(s) and Contradictions: the 'Draw' (1971/72) of Witkiewicz's Play The Mother
Get PDFO ensaio propõe um estudo do dossiê publicado em 1972 acerca da proibição da peça "A Mãe" de Witkiewicz. This lecture proposes a critical study of the dossier published in 1972 along with José Palla e Carmo’s translation of Witkiewicz’ play The Mother, the performance of which in Lisbon would eventually be prohibited by the Censorship Commission. The play had been proposed by the dramatist Luiz Francisco Rebello, director of the Teatro Municipal de São Luís, in an attempt to renew Portuguese theatrical life. Appearing in the context of the political openness of Marcelo Caetano’s government («Primavera marcelista»), during which the contradictions of Portuguese society were exposed, this case leads to the conclusion that, far from being coherent, the practice of theatrical censorship, which implies the participation of several agents at different levels of cultural and political life, is not free from contradiction. It allows, as well, for the questioning of the limits of the very concept of censorship in the light of its specific expressions in time and space
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
Os clássicos, a tradução e a Revolução no teatro em Portugal
Get PDFNo contexto revolucionário criado pelo 25 de Abril em Portugal, a renovação do repertório teatral foi um dos objetivos das companhias de teatro, empenhadas na criação de novos públicos em centros de produção instalados no centro e na periferia. Além das novas dramaturgias até então afastadas do palco pela censura, também recorreram à tradição, nomeadamente às obras clássicas de autores nacionais e estrangeiros inscritos no cânone. Retomando a reflexão de Patrice Pavis ([1990] 2008) sobre o êxito da herança da dramaturgia clássica na segunda metade do século XX, analisarei o caso português nos anos 1974 a 1990 a partir da apresentação de um estudo de caso que pode ser considerado exemplar
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
