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
Étudier, conserver, restaurer le mobilier archéologique
No full textL'objectif de ce numéro des Nouvelles de l'archéologie est de dresser un portrait actualisé de la conservation-restauration en archéologie et de son rôle dans la pratique de la recherche archéologique. Les articles mettent en évidence les compétences et les champs d'action du conservateur-restaurateur, afin de permettre à l'archéologue de mesurer l'importance de l'interdisciplinarité et la personne-ressource que représente le conservateur-restaurateur. Ils insistent sur le caractère méthodologique et déontologique, au delà de la technique. Le parti pris de ce numéro est d'exclure le monde des musées, cadre institutionnel déjà bien défini en matière de conservation-restauration, et de se centrer sur la chaîne opératoire de l'archéologie. Ce numéro propose une approche originale : l'écriture à deux voix (conservateur-restaurateur/archéologue/régisseur/conservateur)
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

Les ateliers du Musée des Antiquités nationales : aux origines de la restauration en archéologie
No full textThe National Museum of Antiquities (MAN) was created at the instigation of Emperor Napoleon Ill in 1862. With the proposed creation of the museum has become the need to equip the workshops of molding and restoration. Abel Maître, a sculptor by training, is the first leader of workshop in the late 19th century. Indispensable part of the MAN, Il proved to be a !rue precursor of the restoration of archaeological objects as it conceives today. His successor, Benoit-Claude Champion, leads workshops throughout the first half of the 20th century and works to professionalize the discipline, at a time when the Issue of training for restorers is central to the debate. Through concrete example of MAN workshops, this research alms to show how archeology has emerged as a specialty in the highly artistic restoration, and how the development of this discipline is closely linked to International politics Heritage Preservation, which comes into its own after World war 1.Le musée des Antiquités nationales (MAN) a été créé sous l'impulsion de l'Empereur Napoléon III en 1862. Avec le projet de création du musée s'est imposée la nécessité de le doter d'ateliers de moulage et de restauration. Abel Maitre, sculpteur de formation, est le premier chef d'atelier de 1866 à la fin du 19e siècle. Rouage Indispensable du MAN, Il s'est avéré être un véritable précurseur de la restauration des objets archéologiques telle qu'on la conçoit de nos jours. Son successeur, Benoit-Claude Champion, dirige les ateliers durant toute la première moitié du 20e siècle et œuvre à la professionnalisation de cette discipline, à une période où la question de la formation des restaurateurs est au centre des débats. A travers l'exemple concret des ateliers du MAN, cette recherche se propose de montrer comment a émergé la spécialité archéologie dans l'univers très artistique de la restauration, et comment le développement de cette activité en discipline est Intimement lié à la politique Internationale de sauvegarde du patrimoine, qui prend toute son ampleur après la première guerre mondiale
