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
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

The Influence of Chinese Culture Towards Female Masculinity In Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings Film (2021)
No full textThis research aims to find out the characterization of the main femalecharacter and how the character represents female masculinity in the film Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. Researcher analyzed the film through thescoop of Chinese culture, with the help of female masculinity theory by JudithHalberstam and Character and Characterization by M. Boggs and Petrie. To find theresearch findings, the researcher used a qualitative method with descriptiveanalysis. The Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings films dialogue text andpicture scene footage were used as the data. In the characterization analysis, it wasfound that Xialing has the characteristics of being independent, strong, calm,forgiving, caring and ambitious. The value of masculinity in Xialing is influencedby Chinese culture, she is characterized by the elements of power, courage, heroism,and leadership. In line with Judith Halberstam's theory of female masculinity(1998), which says that female masculinity refers to a woman's body that displaysmasculine performatives which can be seen from the way she behaves and herphysical appearance
Totalitarianism Concept In The Lego Movie (2014)
No full textThis thesis examines the character and totalitarian of The Lego Movie(2014) film, directed by Phill Lord and Christopher Miller and produced by DanLin and Roy Lee. The purpose and significance of this research are to understand,analyze and explain the characterization and the totalitarianism concept in the film.Using qualitative and descriptive analysis technique, this research explains the mainantagonize character using characterization theory to reveal totalitarian concept.The findings of this research are the antagonist character has several traits ordemeanor such as powerful, merciless, perfectionist, manipulative, superior, andinsecure. These traits can support the idea of totalitarian ideology that brought byLord Business character which is affect the policies such as political play on history,repressive action towards intellectuals, spiritualists, and artists, installing agenciesand making alienation to its people, and guiding ideology through propaganda.However, at the end of the film, Lord Business character reject his totalitarian reignbecause the conviction by the protagonist, Emmet. The conclusion of this thesis areafter analyzing the character, the character then analyzed by concept oftotalitarianism which it can be concluded that Lord Business having totalitarianismideology through his reign, although in the end of the movie he rejects the conceptand therefore he has conducted an anti-totalitarian concept, the total opposite of hisprevious concept.vii,45 hlm.;ilus,25 c

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
