Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Get PDFWe 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
La enseñanza de los oficios en el Montevideo colonial (1726 - 1830).
Get PDFOur knowledge of crafts in Colonial Montevideo results from different sources such as reports, papers, letters and testaments. The information in them shows us a dynamic and changing society. In those times everyone used his hands to work. When an apprentice was hired by a master craftsman, he was given clothes, a place to sleep and food. When he ended his contract, he had to prove his skills by making a finished product without using documents or help. After passing the examination he became a craftsman. A reflection on this subject from the historical research helps us to understand the significance of material and educative changes in the Montevidean society.El conocimiento de los oficios del Montevideo colonial se deriva de diferentes fuentes como los reportes, los papeles, las cartas y los testamentos.

Volver a la Cisplatina (1817-1828). una aproximación a los "estados de opinión" de los orientales sobre la independencia del Uruguay
No full textEl periodo cisplatino (1817-1828), clave para entender tanto las circunstancias atípicas en las que nació el Uruguay así como las luchas por el poder en el Río de la Plata, es uno de los menos estudiados por la historiografía regional. En Uruguay la nutrida polémica que trascendió el ámbito historiográfico y tuvo variados momentos, se enfocó sobre todo en las causas de la independencia y en la voluntad de los orientales de seguir ese curso histórico. Entre omisiones y oscuridades, los aspectos culturales y sociales que pudieran iluminar esta compleja y cambiante trama histórica, fueron minimizados u olvidados. Incluso las formas de pensar y sentir de la generación sacudida por largos años de guerra casi no se registran ni en los manuales de historia ni en las investigaciones académicas. Una aproximación a estos campos temáticos desde las distintas fuentes documentales puede ayudar a superar los vacíos, y entender mejor los cambios y oscilaciones experimentados en las opiniones de los orientales. Se procura contribuir a definir procesos y eventos que permitan una visión más afinada de la realidad
