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
Design Thinking in Film and Television Ideation: Enhancing Concept Development
No full textThis article explores the integration of design thinking into the ideation phase of film and television production through the Media Innovate project at the Durban University of Technology. By employing design thinking methodologies, the project aims to enhance students' creative processes and bridge the gap between academic training and industry practice. Through user-centered problem-solving, students develop feature and short film scripts that address real-world challenges while cultivating entrepreneurial skills. The study follows an exploratory, qualitative methodology, utilising observation of students enrolled in the project to assess the impact of design thinking on their approach to media innovation. The observation focuses on how students apply design thinking principles such as empathy, ideation, and prototyping to their creative work, enabling a deeper understanding of stakeholder needs and fostering self-sustainability. Findings suggest that incorporating design thinking not only enhances creative outcomes but also prepares students for economic growth opportunities in the media industry. This research contributes to the broader discourse on the relevance of design thinking in the creative industries and it’s potential to transform educational practices in film and television production, equipping students for real-world success
