    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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

    246 pp. Bookmarks supplied by UO. Includes maps and figures. Published June, 2007. Captured February 1, 2008.The Independence Transportation System Plan (TSP) establishes the City’s goals, policies and action strategies for developing and improving the transportation system within the Independence Urban Growth Boundary. The Independence TSP outlines a twenty-year plan to guide transportation improvements and to enhance general mobility throughout this city of over 7,000 residents. The TSP is intended to serve as a blueprint or master plan to guide transportation decisions to address both short and long term needs over the coming decades.

This TGM grant is financed, in part, by federal Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU), local government, and State of Oregon funds.

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    Get PDF
    We 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

    Rhododendron Drive integrated transportation plan : Draft

    113 pp. Bookmarks supplied by UO. Includes maps and figures. Published May, 2007. Captured January 29, 2008.The Rhododendron (TSP) was initiated in 2006 by the City of Florence, in partnership with the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT). The process was undertaken to improve modal integration along the Rhododendron Drive corridor. The Rhododendron Drive Integrated Transportation Plan (RITP) will guide the management and development of appropriate transportation facilities along the Rhododendron Drive corridor. It was developed to support the City of Florenceâ s vision for improving safety and facilities to server all modes of transportation, while remaining consistent. This plan provides the City of Florence with the necessary elements for amendment to the Florence Transportation System Plan and to inform future planning and improvement efforts.
