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
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
Gratuité sur Internet : l’émergence d’une culture de consommation ?
Full text linkLa gratuité est une notion essentielle et inhérente à notre société, son étude a cependant été relativement éludée en marketing. Cet article, de nature conceptuelle cherche dans un premier temps à circonscrire l’idée de gratuité, en en dressant une typologie, et en la reliant aux concepts de don, de partage et de valeur. Puis nous montrerons en quoi la culture à l’origine du Réseau des réseaux et son architecture permettent aux individus d’exercer ce que l’on nomme le « consumer power » et comment, sur internet, l’accession gratuite à des biens culturels est désormais ancrée dans les pratiques de consommation des individus malgré la mise en place de dispositifs dissuasifs et répressifs. D’où cette question, la gratuité sur internet signe t’elle l’émergence d’une nouvelle culture de consommation ancrée dans les pratiques
"Catch me if you can" : Ordinary consumers and role of materiality in the sustainability of an illegal practice of consumption
No full textComment certaines pratiques illégales peuvent-elles se pérenniser ? La littérature en comportement du consommateur s’est jusqu’ici principalement intéressée aux processus d’intégration des pratiques de consommation marginales, illégitimes ou illicites. La question de la pérennisation de ces pratiques, de leur maintien dans le temps voir de leur permanence reste en revanche peu étudiée. Ce travail de recherche mobilise une approche néo-institutionnelle en vue de comprendre comment une pratique illégale de consommation peut se pérenniser via un travail institutionnel mené par des consommateurs ordinaires; il vise, de façon plus spécifique, à comprendre le rôle que tient la matérialité dans ce travail de maintien d’une pratique. Au terme d’une analyse compréhensive de la pratique du téléchargement illégal en France de 2008 à 2013 mobilisant des entretiens semi-directifs et des données secondaires, nous montrons comment des artefacts habilitants modèlent la pratique de téléchargement illégal et façonnent la consommation de contenus piratés. Plus précisément, nos résultats montrent que les artefacts technologiques permettent de déconnecter sanction et pratique illégale, rendant par là possible l’institutionnalisation de la pratique. Cette recherche permet, par effet miroir, de comprendre le rôle de la matérialité dans la déstabilisation d’un ordre institutionnel existant et identifie un certain nombre de pistes d’évolution quant à la construction de l’offre légale de contenus culturels dématérialisés.How are some illegal practices sustained? Prior studies have depicted how marginal, illegitimate or illicit practices could be integrated to the market. However, their sustainability is understudied in consumer research.Drawing on Neo Institutional Theory, our main purpose in this research is to understand how ordinary consumers and materiality through institutional work sustain an illegal practice. By examining the case of illegal downloading in France from 2008 to 2013, and a qualitative method, based on interviews and secondary data, we show how artefacts are enabling the illegal practice and shape the consumption of pirated content.Results expose how an illegal practice is institutionalized through materiality. Our main contribution is to bring an understanding on how materiality may destabilize an institutional order. We offer also some managerial implications regarding the legal offer of digitalized contents
Pérennisation de pratiques illégales : télécharger en France depuis 2009
No full textNational audienceHow are some illegal practices sustained? Although prior research has been focusing on the domestication or integration by the market of illegal practices, little attention has been paid to their sustainability. We propose to study though the case of illegal downloading in France since 2009 1° How consumers get organized after the enactment of a new regulation 2° How these practices could form a parallel system of supply and demand chain. This research's intended contribution to the literature on illegal practices as well as market system dynamics will be discussed.Comment certaines pratiques illégales peuvent-elles se pérenniser ? Bien que des recherches se soient intéressées à la domestication ou à l'intégration par le marché de pratiques illicites, peu d'attention a été portée à leur pérennisation. Nous nous proposons d'étudier à travers le cas du téléchargement illégal en France 1°Comment les consommateurs se sont organisés après la mise en place de la loi Hadopi 2°Comment ces pratiques sont à même de former un système parallèle d'offre et de demande. Cette recherche a pour intention de contribuer à la littérature sur les pratiques illicites et de manière plus large au courant de recherche des «systèmes de marchés »
Sustainability of illegal practices: Downloading in France since 2009
No full textInternational audienceHow and why are some illegal practices sustained? In 2008, in France, smoking in shared spaces (cafes, restaurants, stations) was made illegal. This new regulation has been quickly integrated and is today widely respected. In contrast, although downloading has been considered as an illegal practice since 2009, 49% of the French population is consuming through this way . The French legal apparatus appears to be inefficient to reduce these behaviors, even in providing a discourse on consumer’s morality or in punishing the downloaders
