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
Satire and aesthetics of variegation in lesage’s and his contemporaries’ works
No full textEn prenant pour objet la satire – labile et peu aisée à circonscrire – chez Lesage et chez certains de ses contemporains dans la première moitié du XVIIIe siècle, cette thèse étudie la façon dont l’écriture satirique dans les fictions littéraires, tous genres confondus, cherche à s’éloigner de l’attaque ad hominem, pratique d’écriture réprouvée alors par la plupart. Il s’agit alors de changer de paradigme, de transformer la satire en déplaçant ses enjeux du plan poétique – en tant que technè – au plan esthétique, définissant ainsi une nouvelle manière de l’appréhender, avec non seulement Lesage, au premier chef, mais également des auteurs tels que Marivaux et Montesquieu, ou encore des minores tels que Bordelon ou Bougeant. Tout d’abord, outre une réflexion qui vise à mieux circonscrire les termes satire et bigarrure, nous proposons une mise en perspective de cette transformation de 1695 à 1749, période qui couvre la carrière littéraire de Lesage et de certains de ses contemporains, à travers des œuvres fondées sur le mélange. À la lumière de ces éclaircissements, nous entendons mettre au jour l’existence et les enjeux d’un dispositif satirique qui se trouve au fondement de l’esthétique de la bigarrure, qui met en œuvre une nouvelle manière d’appréhender les défauts et de s’en moquer, contribuant également à une redéfinition originale de la place du lecteur. Enfin, la satire qui évolue en bigarrure risque de se trouver dépossédée de certaines de ses caractéristiques essentielles puisqu’il apparaît alors nécessaire, pour rejeter l’agressivité satirique de l’attaque nominale, d’en transformer les modalités afin de la rendre acceptable ; pourtant, cette refonte, qui découle d’une conception idéale de la satire, participe de la mise en œuvre d’un jeu herméneutique renouvelé.Taking satire – which is labile and hard to define – as its subject, this thesis studies how satirical writing in literary fictions, across all genres, seeks to distance itself from ad hominem attacks, a writing practice largely disapproved of at the time. The aim is to change the paradigm, transforming satire by shifting its stakes from the poetic level to the aesthetic level, thus defining a new way of understanding it, not only with Lesage at the forefront but also with authors such as Marivaux and Montesquieu, as well as lesser-known figures like Bordelon and Bougeant. First, in addition to a reflection aimed at better defining the terms satire and variegation, we propose a perspective on this transformation from 1695 to 1749, a period that encompasses the literary career of Lesage and some of his contemporaries, through works based on potpourri. In light of these conceptual clarifications, we intend to reveal the existence and stakes of a satirical dispositif that underpins the aesthetics of variegation, which implements a new way of addressing flaws and mocking them, also contributing to an original redefinition of the reader's role. Finally, the satire that evolves into variegation risks being stripped of some of its essential characteristics, as it then becomes necessary, in order to reject the satirical aggressivity of nominal attacks, to transform its modalities to make it acceptable; however, this reworking, which stems from an ideal conception of satire, contributes to the implementation of a renewed hermeneutics
Un pot-pourri des plus plaisants : satire et bigarrure chez Lesage et ses contemporains.

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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
