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

Exploring teachers’ teaching practices when engaging in systematic reflective practice: Teacher cognitions and identity
No full textCognition literature is as valuable as identity literature, but when combined in context, they provide a very rich understanding of how people think and interact with others. Thus, this study takes a view of cognition that is holistic and situated as part of analysing reflective practice. Cognition does not exist in isolation; it exists with a history, an environment, interaction with others, and in a specific role, which mean teacher identity and teacher cognition are interrelated areas that can help us understand teachers’ environments, behaviours, practices, and ideas. This research takes place in Saudi Arabia, a context in transition, in which teaching environments embody change in terms of what individuals carry with them from their past, such as education, training, and teaching experience, and what they experience in the classroom, with policies driving towards more communicative and open ways of teaching and learning. The method for this study involved observing, tracking, and interviewing four Saudi teachers of English, as they engaged with a CPD programme employing dialogical reflective practice, both through face-to-face interactions, and social media networks. The study’s findings showed the complexity of reflective practice, and that the often simplified term "reflection" encompasses a wide range of activity and practices, with different implications for teacher engagement. The influence of power relations on perceptions of reflective practice is one of the key findings in the current study, as participants reported that when they felt pushed to reflect as an abstract, mandated practice, it elicited unnatural and inauthentic reflection for them. It seems that, in their mind, authentic, useful reflection exists when they are in control of it, and often when it arises in what is perceived as authentic interactions. In other words, the authenticity and benefits of reflection, both individual and dialogical, are perceived more when thoughts and interactions are characterised by autonomy and choice, whereas the nature of ‘reflection’ is seen and experienced differently when a power structure is seen to be driving the activity. Participants reported engaging with genuine, active, sharing, and comfortable reflection (individual and dialogical) when power relations and communication were perceived as equal and natural, whereas marked power relations and forced communication was met with resistance and a sense of artifice. Overall, participants reported that engaging with contextualised and dialogical reflective practice allowed them to develop deeper understanding and awareness of themselves and their practices, accompanied by a sense of enhanced confidence and effectiveness. The study's findings contribute to literature on teacher cognition and identity, and they inform Saudi educational policy makers, teacher education programmes, and English language teachers
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
