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
The Philippines in Contemporary Mexican Poetry: Presence and Omission
Full text linkIn 1606, Antonio de Morga published Sucesos de las Islas Filipinas, appearing to establish a point of contact, which endures in the still-overlooked but undeniably extant relationship of the Philippines with contemporary Mexican Spanish-language poetry. Although minimal, certain Philippine ties have been observed in recent decades in Mexico, the country with the greatest number of Spanish speakers in the world. Unlike Cuba or Puerto Rico, the Philippines has been forgotten by Hispanic culture in a tradition that continues in the twenty-first century. Despite this uprooting from, which might be observed in a first a preliminary study that other researchers may want to undertake (still underexplored and in fact practically non-existent in the critical panorama), such Mexico- Philippines relationships continue settling in the Mexican poetry insomuch as they mark meeting points that explain globalization and the search for identity that also exists in lyricism. In this work, which traces Mexican literature, the presence of the Philippines in Tomás Calvillo Unna’s 1995 poetry collection Filipinas, textos cercanos (2010) is analyzed using an ecocritical approach to recoveries from pre-Columbian Mexico and colonial New Spain. In addition to investigating which poets have been influenced by the Philippine tradition, this text delves into historical and geographical relationships, especially as the basis of the Manila Galleon trade. The issue of violence, also present in texts examined here, will refer to colonization and to neocolonial practices still rooted in this exchange. This article also discusses issues surrounding the Western canon and the knowledge or ignorance that Hispanophone societies and academia have regarding Philippine Studies
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
QUE LEE CRISTINA RIVERA GARZA Y QUIEN LA LEE: EL INTERTEXTO EN LAS AULAS
Full text linkEn el siguiente trabajo se aborda la obra de Cristina Rivera Garza (Matamoros, Tamaulipas, 1964) a propósito del intertexto (Mendoza) que es posible trabajar en las aulas de Primaria y Secundaria. Nos centramos en la poesía porque la mayoría de las investigaciones la obvian a favor de la narrativa. Por ello, consideramos fundamental reivindicar el género literario que nos permite aprender en el aula de las referencias que influyen en la autora de La muerte me da (2007) y El disco de Newton (2011). Partiremos de tales libros para observar las lecturas que consolidan su escritura y, al mismo tiempo, la impronta que ejercen en las promociones (Higashi) recientes de México, como Sara Uribe o Verónica Gerber; o en España, María Ángeles Pérez López.This article addresses the work of Cristina Rivera Garza (Matamoros, Tamaulipas, 1964) regarding the intertext (Mendoza) that it is possible to work in Primary and Secondary classrooms. We focus on poetry because most of the research on it ignores it in favor of narrative. For this reason, we consider it essential to vindicate the literary genre that allows us to learn in the classroom from the references that influence the author of La muerte me da (2007) and El disco de Newton (2011). We will start from such books to observe the readings that consolidate her writing and, at the same time, the imprint they exert on recent promotions (Higashi) in Mexico, such as Sara Uribe or Verónica Gerber; or in Spain, María Ángeles Pérez López
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
