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

Rhetoric of the author presentation: the case of Maria Sibylla Merian
Full text linktextThis dissertation has two main objectives. First, it intends to show that early
modern German author portraits have a rhetorical form that is both verbal and visual
and have a function beyond presenting writers to their public. The elements employed in
representing the author and the process by which meaning is constructed in that
representation are particular to the early modern period. By interpreting the form and
meaning in a manner appropriate to a society attuned to rhetoric and representation, we
see a cultural agenda that the author portrait seeks to serve. Second, the dissertation
offers a case study on the representation of Maria Sibylla Merian (1647-1717) in the
books authored by her. An artist and naturalist, Merian’s investigations took her as far
as Suriname at the age of 52, and in her lifetime she published three illustrated books on
her findings.
Chapter one surveys lines of tradition of the pan-European author portrait and
presents an approach that considers author images in connection to the front matter of
their books. The Merian case study comprises chapter two through six. Chapter two
begins with the printing history of Merian’s works and narrows the Merian images
under consideration to one portrait and two frontispieces. Chapter three analyzes front
matter of Merian editions dating from 1675 to 1771 by taking a diachronic look at first
editions and later adaptations by changing participants in the publishing process.
Chapter four considers how Merian’s image as an artist first leans upon family
reputation and then encompasses her unique style, subject matter, and purpose. Chapter
five situates Merian’s identity as a naturalist within a larger scientific context and shows
how her image participates in a larger eighteenth-century publishing enterprise that
exploits the appeal of exotic flora and fauna to promote colonial science. Chapter six
explores how gender affects Merian’s multi-faceted persona in print by comparing her
image with a portrait and frontispieces in works by naturalist Georg Rumphius. The
conclusion addresses the implications of Merian’s presentation for further understanding
the employment of visual and textual front matter.Germanic Studie
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
