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
Chocs et ajustement de la balance des paiements : la «méthode Balassa» révisée et appliquée au Sénégal
No full textIn this paper we investigate the methodology used by Balassa to analyze the impact of external shocks on the trade balance and related policy responses in the case of oil importing countries. We thus suggest to focus on the variation of the current account compared to a moving reference period. Some econometric equations are used to ajust the import and export volumes for the impact of exogenous factors. This approach gives a better assessment of impact of the import substitution and export promotion policies. In the case of Senegal we highlight the main features of the structural adjustment process over the 1972-1990 period.L'article propose quelques aménagements à la méthodologie employée par Balassa (1981) pour analyser l'impact des chocs extérieurs sur la balance commerciale des pays importateurs de pétrole et les réactions de politique économique adoptées pour y faire face. Dans le cadre révisé nous reportons la réflexion sur les variations du compte courant par rapport à une situation de référence glissante. Des équations économétriques sont estimées pour corriger les variations en volume des importations et des exportations de l'action de facteurs exogènes. Elles permettent de mieux saisir le rôle respectif de la substitution à l'importation et de la promotion des exportations. L'application au cas du Sénégal met en lumière les caractéristiques d'évolution de l'ajustement structurel sur la période 1972-1990.Montalieu Thierry, Plane Patrick.

L'efficience technique : quelques repères méthodologiques
No full textTechnical Efficiency : Some Methodological References
The X-lnefficiency concept suggests that firms may structurally remain inside their production possibility frontier. Although neglected by the standard neo-classical model, the concept is now fully integrated in the new contractualist paradigms. Solving the technical inefficiency problem depends upon the successful coordination of agents by the organization. There exist important differences in the incentive schemes implemented in public versus private sectors in developing countries. These differences can be seen as an explanation of their respective technical efficiency performance.Le concept d'inefficience-X suggère que les firmes peuvent se situer structurellement à l'intérieur de leur domaine des possibilités de production. Un moment dénigré par les tenants du modèle néo-classique standard, le concept est à présent intégré dans les nouveaux paradigmes contractualistes. La solution qu'il convient d'apporter à ce problème économique dépendra de la capacité des organisations à mettre en œuvre des mécanismes de coordination efficaces. Dans les PVD, le schéma d'incitation des secteurs public et privé témoigne de réelles différences explicatives des écarts de performances techniques.Lesueur Jean-Yves, Plane Patrick.

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
