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
Returning to Nothing
No full textFeelings about lost or destroyed places rouse our deepest emotions. Losing a home or a suburb or leaving a homeland can be like losing a loved one. This book examines what it means to lose a place forever and why we return, and keep on returning, to these places so large in our memories. It considers many lost towns, suburbs, and homes: Darwin after Cyclone Tracy, the flooding of the town of Adaminaby in New South Wales, the inundation of Lake Pedder in Tasmania, bushfire at Macedon in Victoria, migration from other countries, the clearing of neighbourhoods for freeways and the everyday circumstances which force people from their land. Peter Read establishes how important the places we live in are, and how much we grieve when we lose them. It tells a human story, which is disturbing, poetic, and often inspiring. Everyone who has lost a place of importance to them will find it unforgettable.</jats:p
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
Apollinaire et Les Mamelles de Tirésias
No full textLe 24 juin 1917, dans un théâtre de la butte Montmartre, a lieu la première des Mamelles de Tirésias, « drame surréaliste » de Guillaume Apollinaire. La salle est bondée, le Tout-Paris artistique et intellectuel s’y écrase, dans une ambiance houleuse et survoltée. André Breton s’efforce de calmer Jacques Vaché qui, afin d’obtenir une place assise, brandit un revolver. Peter Read reconstitue l’événement et le scandale qu’il a soulevé, nous mène aux sources du mouvement surréaliste et au cœur de l’étrange saison qu’est en France le printemps 1917 : les mutineries se multiplient dans l’armée ; des milliers de femmes en grève défilent à travers les rues de la capitale ; la vie artistique et littéraire est revitalisée par une étonnante renaissance culturelle. Apollinaire met alors en scène une héroïne qui s’insurge contre l’autorité masculine, revendique des droits égaux à ceux de l’homme, quitte le foyer conjugal. Son mari, quant à lui, décide de faire des enfants tout seul, à la place de son épouse insoumise. Apollinaire brouille les identités sexuelles et refuse le conformisme culturel que voudraient imposer les tenants de l’ordre et de l’Union sacrée. L’actualité sert de tremplin à l’épanouissement tous azimuts de son imaginaire poétique, et à la réalisation d’une conception radicalement novatrice de l’art théâtral. Peter Read révèle et analyse, pour la première fois, les sources et la genèse de la pièce, le jeu des acteurs, le dialogue, le décor, les costumes et la musique. Il nous fait découvrir toutes les dimensions sonores et visuelles d’une œuvre drôle, poignante et visionnaire. Les Mamelles de Tirésias : œuvre-clé pour l’histoire du théâtre du XXe siècle
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
