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
Defensa del deflacionismo no conservativo
Full text linkDeflationism about truth holds that a complete theory of this concept should not attend to it’s supposed underlying nature, but to the use of it in actual practice. Nevertheless, this philosophical stand on truth has been put into question by the so-called “conservativeness argument” (Murzi y Rossi, 2020), advanced originally by Shapiro (1998). A response is given to this argument in terms of the defense of a deflationism compatible with a non-conservative formal theory of truth.El deflacionismo en torno a la verdad afirma que una teoría completa de esta noción no debe atender a una naturaleza subyacente a la misma, sino al uso que se hace de ella. Pero la viabilidad de esta postura filosófica ha sido puesta en duda en la literatura por el “argumento de la conservatividad” (Murzi y Rossi, 2020) avanzado originalmente por Shapiro (1998). El presente trabajo propone una respuesta a dicho argumento, en términos de la defensa de un deflacionismo compatible con la no-conservatividad de una teoría formal de la verdad
Adopción, presuposición lógica y práctica inferencial
No full textThe adoption problem, developed by Kripke (2021) and elaborated by Padró (2015, 2021), has generated considerable debate in the philosophy of language and logic due to its consequences for theories of rationality and of the nature of logical principles. It has been proposed that there is an intimate relationship between this problem and the meta-referential inconsistency argument directed against the monist defense of a non-classical logic. This has led to the belief that Kripke’s stance against the adoption of logical principles implies a criticism of non-classical logical monism. This paper evaluates the difficulties implicit in this interpretation of the argument, in the way it has been developed by Barrio, Fiore and Pailos (2021). It is argued that this interpretation ignores key elements of both Kripke’s argument and conclusion. An alternative way of interpreting the nature of the problem is presented, arguing it exhibits both philosophical and exegetical advantages for analyzing the adoption problem. This is intended to contribute to the understanding of the complex kripkean problem and its relation to contemporary debates regarding logical monism. El problema de la adopción, desarrollado por Kripke (2021) y elaborado por Padró (2015, 2021), ha generado considerable debate en la filosofía del lenguaje y de la lógica debido a sus consecuencias para las teorías de la racionalidad y la naturaleza de los principios lógicos. Se ha propuesto que existe una íntima relación entre este problema y el tipo de argumento de inconsistencia metarreferencial dirigido contra la defensa monista de una lógica no clásica. Esto ha llevado a pensar que la postura de Kripke contra la adopción de una lógica implica una crítica al monismo lógico no clásico. El presente trabajo evalúa las dificultades de interpretar de este modo el problema de la adopción, en la forma en que ha sido presentado por Barrio, Fiore y Pailos (2021). Se busca argumentar que esta interpretación ignora elementos clave tanto del argumento como de la conclusión de Kripke. Se avanza una lectura alternativa al problema, y se argumenta que reviste ventajas interpretativas y filosóficas. Se espera con esto aportar a la comprensión del complejo problema kripkeano, así como a su relación con las discusiones contemporáneas en torno al monismo lógico.

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
