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
Droit à la ville et contestation de l’ordre moral urbain en Turquie
Full text linkL’article cherche à comprendre les raisons des événements du printemps 2013 en Turquie. Il montre que les manifestations ne sont pas uniquement dues à la volonté de défendre un espace vert menacé mais qu’elles sont la réponse de la population laïque turque à l’évolution des modes de faire la ville et au contrôle de l’espace public par le parti au pouvoir. Via un néolibéralisme économique, un conservatisme religieux et un néo-ottomanisme culturel, l’AKP (Parti de la Justice et du Développement) cherche en effet à imposer un ordre moral urbain que récusent les manifestants. Les émeutes de juin 2013 revendiquent ainsi un droit à la ville, qui s’exprime avant tout par la liberté d’appropriation des espaces publics.This article seeks to understand the reasons of the violent demonstrations in Turkish cities in June 2013. It demonstrates that the defense of a public green space in the heart of Istanbul is not the main driver of the revolt, but moreover the latter is the response of the secular people to the evolution of the ways of producing the city and of controlling the public spaces by the islamist ruling party AKP. Contesting at the same time neoliberalism, conservatism and neo-ottomanism, the demonstrators strike against the new urban moral order of the AKP, claiming for freedom in public spaces and far beyond for an effective right to the city
La réussite industrielle des petites villes: Vitré (Ille-et-Vilaine), le modèle sans territoire
No full textInternational audienceVitré, commune bretonne proche de Rennes, éloignée du littoral, connait une étonnante réussite économique. Avec un taux de chômage de 4,6% en 2019, elle caracole dans les classements nationaux, qui la font figurer parmi les huit meilleures zones d'emploi de France. Un développement soutenu qui pourrait surprendre, étant donné ses secteurs-phares, souvent à l'origine du déclin d'autres territoires: industrie et agriculture. Comment expliquer cette vitalité? Quels sont les facteurs clefs de ce succès? Cette étude de cas est fondamentale pour repenser les liens entre les villes-centre et périphériques, un apport dans la réflexion autour de la réindustrialisation
