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
Deruelle Benjamin (dir.), 2023, Quand l’Histoire sert à faire la guerre: Presses universitaires du Septentrion, 210 pages
No full textInternational audienceBenjamin Deruelle, le directeur de publication, s’emploie avec l’aide de nombreux historiens spécialistes à démontrer que les différentes composantes du champ historique (récits, sources, historiographies…) ont toujours fait l’objet d’instrumentalisations pour appuyer les entrées en guerre – dans la lignée de la célèbre expression du géographe Yves Lacoste : « l’Histoire sert à faire la guerre ». C’est en tout cas la principale thèse défendue tout au long des pages. Loin de se vouloir moralisateur en affublant l’historien d’une quelconque responsabilité, l’ouvrage de Benjamin Deruelle se veut avant tout érudit et pédagogue
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
Le Royaume de Dieu est en Ukraine : Cartographie et analyse des imaginaires de la mouvance (ultra)nationaliste orthodoxe ukrainienne
No full textLongtemps soumise à l’athéisme d’État, la religion orthodoxe a retrouvé progressivement dans l’espace post-soviétique sa centralité politico-culturelle. Si l’exemple de la Russie poutinienne illustre cette tendance à vouloir confondre religion et politique à des fins illibérales ou nationalistes, l’Ukraine n’est pas en reste. Outre l’affirmation par Petro Poroshenko d’un discours religieux traditionnaliste et populiste, des courants (ultra)nationalistes chrétiens ont émergé ces dernières années. Aussi semblables qu’ils puissent être par rapport aux autres mouvements (ultra)nationalistes qui militent pour la renaissance d’un État ukrainien émancipé du joug russe, ces fondamentalistes se démarquent néanmoins par leur révisionnisme identitaire de l’orthodoxie. Bâti autour d’une mythologie nationale dont le Tomos de 2019 serait l’aboutissement providentiel, leur discours entend proposer à l’aide du religieux une nouvelle ontologie de « l’ukrainité ». À cet égard, l’espace géographique dans lequel est censée s’affirmer cette ukrainité a toute son importance. Celui-ci relève d’un imaginaire spécifique que nous nous proposons d’analyser.Orthodoxy has gradually regained its political and cultural centrality in the post-Soviet space. If the example of Putin‘s Russia illustrates this tendency to confuse religion and politics for illiberal or nationalist purposes, Ukraine is not to be outdone. In addition to Petro Poroshenko‘s affirmation of a traditionalist and populist religious discourse, recent years have seen the emergence of Christian (ultra)nationalist currents. As similar as they may be to other ultranationalist movements that militate for the rebirth of a Ukraine emancipated from the Russian yoke, these fundamentalists are nevertheless distinguished by their revisionist Orthodoxy. Built around a national mythology of which the Tomos of 2019 would be the providential outcome, their discourse proposes with religion a new ontology of “Ukrainianness”. In this respect, the geographical space in which this Ukrainianness is supposed to be asserted is very important. This space is part of a specific imaginary that we propose to analyse
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
Guillaume Faye (1949-2019): At the Forefront of a New Theory of White Nationalism
Get PDFeditorial reviewedDespite being under-studied, Guillaume Faye (1949-2019) is probably one of the most central figures of the current Euro-American Identitarian movement, and a key inspiration for global white nationalism. Whether it is of “archeofuturism” or the “convergence of catastrophes”, his concepts are still widely commented on and taken up throughout the world within the far right, becoming nowadays more and more popular. His transition from pro-Arabism in the 1980s to a violent rejection of Islam at the end of the following decade is symptomatic of the evolution of the nationalist-revolutionary far right. Both biographical and analytical, this article proposes to return in detail to this major figure of today’s white nationalism
