Débunker les idées reçues sur le clitoris
No full textPour Mondes Sociaux : le podcast, Sylvie Chaperon, professeure d’histoire contemporaine du genre à l’Université de Toulouse Jean -Jaurès, présente son dernier livre co-écrit avec Odile Fillod, chercheuse en études sociales des sciences biomédicales, sur les idées reçues sur le clitoris. La domination masculine cis-hétéro dans le domaine de la recherche a-t-elle favorisé l’apparition et le maintien d’idées reçues sur le clitoris ? Ce podcast revient sur deux des chapitres de l’ouvrage de Sylv..
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
Eléments d'histoire du clitoris du VIe siècle av. J.-C. à la fin du Moyen-Age
No full textPar Odile Fillod, chercheuse indépendante en études sociales des sciences biomédicales (article issu de son site personnel Clit'info). VIè - IVè siècles av.J.-C. : premières traces dans la poésie grecque (Hipponax, Aristophane) Les références au clitoris les plus anciennes qui nous soient parvenues semblent se trouver chez Hipponax. Ce poète grec originaire d’Ephèse (en Turquie actuelle) a connu son apogée vers 540 av. J.-C., et il ne subsiste de son œuvre que des fragments (Roux 1964). Se..
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
Les sciences et la nature sexuée du psychisme au tournant du xxie siècle
No full textThe idea that contemporary biomedical sciences testify to the existence of natural processes of sex differentiation of the human psyche is regularly expressed in public space. How can that be? Is it simply because scientific research has established the existence of such processes and continues to progress in understanding? Based on an analysis of the international scientific literature that could fuel that idea on one hand, and its popularization or invocation in the French media and popular literature on the other hand, this article argues that the existence of such processes is not proven and presents the social and structural factors that may explain why the contrary is nevertheless insistently stated
