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
“Can Home Come in a Tin Can?”: How Jewish-Israeli Women Savour Home in New Zealand
No full textThis ethnography studies the everyday experiences of twenty-five Jewish-Israeli women following their migration to New Zealand, questioning how they remember the ‘homes’ they left behind and how they constitute ‘home’ anew in Auckland. The analysis examines the changes that the women engender in their food practices, focusing on the domestic activities of grocery shopping, cooking, baking, casual hospitality, festive hosting and dieting. My findings suggest that the ‘homes’ these women remember and reconstitute after migration are composed of five dimensions: homelands, ancestral homes, communal homes, spiritual Jewish homes and the personal body as home. The women use their everyday domestic food practices to actively negotiate social boundaries with lands and people, connecting with homes across space and time as they claim multiple belongings. Their engagements with food trigger their nostalgic emotions, memories, and imaginations, traversing through homes near, far, past, present and future. In the process, they revise their collective pasts in order to claim they are ‘good enough’ Jewish-Israeli women in New Zealand. This study contributes a gendered perspective to the anthropology of home, showing how migrant women negotiate social relationships through their domestic food practices. Engaging with current theoretical works on nostalgia, I illustrate how women enact intimate relationships through nostalgic food production and consumption that invoke their pleasure, pride and the feeling of being ‘at home’. I also suggest how women use food to enact social tensions, expressing criticism through self-irony, ambivalence, anger and disgust towards particular facets in their domestic lives and identities. In sum, this study demonstrates Jewish- Israeli migrant women materialise building home anew in New Zealand, employing their engagements with food and their everyday domestic food practices to foster the feeling of being ‘at home’ within themselves, amongst their kin, and, more broadly, across their social networks
“FILLING UP THE OTHER KETE”: AMBIVALENCE, CRITICAL MEMORY, AND THE RESILIENCE OF OLDER MĀORI JEWISH WOMEN
Full text linkThis article is part of the first study on the memories that Māori Jews share growing up and living in contemporary Aotearoa/New Zealand as well as the effect of their memories on their well-being and success in life. The study was conducted through open-ended in-depth interviews during 2016–2017. Examining more closely how six older women negotiate power and constitute indigenous agency, the analysis in this article looks into the particular way they employ their critical memory in order to overcome their ambivalence toward tertiary education. In my analysis, I apply the recent development in the theory of nostalgia with empirical studies on Māori women, Māori women in tertiary education, and Māori well-being. I demonstrate that these women negotiate kinship relations between up to four generations as they take on tertiary education, which is articulated by their metaphor of “filling up the other kete” (the basket of knowledge). I argue that this metaphor epitomizes how these women embed their memories in Māori practices, including learning Te Reo Māori (the language), to overcome their ambivalence toward tertiary education and ameliorate well-being. Their ambivalence contributes to their political awareness and to navigating between Māori, Pākehā, and Jewish knowledges as they become resilient role models for the next generation
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
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
