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
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
Le contrôle : Essai d’élaboration d’une revue systémique
No full textThe field of control has experienced an enormous scientific production during the 20th century. A considerable number of scientific publications on this field have been published on different aspects of control (types, modes, tools, mechanisms….). In the scarcity of literature reviews of this concept, this work presents a bibliometric analysis of the concept of control with the aim of developing a bibliometric record based on the publications of the most influential researchers in this field. With the help of a computerized bibliometric analysis tool, this contribution will provide a summary of the scientific contributions on the concept of control during the 20th century, as well as the evolution of publications in this field, with the aim of constituting a roadmap for future research. For this purpose, the work on control has been subdivided into two main periods, the first of which runs from 1900 to 1950 under the name of classical philosophy of control, while the second, described as modern philosophy of control, covers the period from 1950 to 2000.

Un certain nombre considérable de publications scientifiques sur ce domaine a été publié sur différents aspects du contrôle (types, modes, outils, mécanismes ...). Dans la rareté des analyses documentaires de ce concept, ce travail présente une analyse bibliométrique du concept du contrôle dans l’objectif d’élaborer une fiche bibliométrique en se basant sur les publications des chercheurs les plus influents dans ce domaine. À l'aide d'outil informatique de l’analyse bibliométrique, cette contribution permettra de dresser un état sommaire des contributions scientifique sur le concept de contrôle pendant le 20ème siècle, aussi que de tracer l’évolution des publications dans ce domaine, dans le but de constituer une feuille de route pour les recherches futures. Pour cela, on a subdivisé les travaux en contrôle sur deux périodes principales, la première s’étale entre 1900 et 1950 sous l’appellation de la philosophie classique du contrôle, alors que la deuxième qualifiée de la philosophie moderne de contrôle, elle couvre la période entre 1950 jusqu'au 2000.

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
