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

Nguyen T. Nguyen oral history interview and transcript
No full textThis recording and transcript form part of a collection of oral history interviews conducted by the Chao Center for Asian Studies at Rice University. This collection includes audio recordings and transcripts of interviews with Asian Americans native to or living in Houston.Nguyen T. Nguyen is a Vietnamese American and Houston native. He’s a business relations specialist in government, business, and nonprofit environments, and served as an emergency management specialist for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) during Hurricane Harvey.
In this interview, he talked about his experience in the anti-Asian hate crime rally he participated in Discovery Green to give voice against the rise of anti-Asian hate crimes. Two weeks before this interview, the country was shocked by the shooting that ended with eight people dead, with six of them Asian women, in Atlanta; there has been a series of hate crimes in this period, also archived in HAAA’s website and Rice University’s digital scholarship website. Nguyen also talked in detail about his “grandma project,” which he had been working on for ten years to pay homage to elderly and raise awareness about elderly care. For the very fact that he didn’t have someone to call grandma in his childhood, he built bonds with his photography subject deeply
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
