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
Les Indications Géographiques au Maroc : Défis de mise en œuvre et perspectives pour la valorisation des produits locaux
No full textGeographical Indications (GIs), as distinctive signs of origin and quality, are increasingly recognized as key instruments for differentiating agri-food products in both national and international markets. Beyond their commercial value, GIs contribute to the promotion of local resources, the preservation of traditional know-how, and the revitalization of rural areas. In Morocco, this labeling system is gradually being positioned as a strategic tool to enhance the competitiveness of terroir products. However, despite institutional efforts initiated nearly two decades ago, the effective implementation of GIs still faces several obstacles.
This article examines the main challenges hindering the development of GIs in Morocco, including limited material and human resources, strong competition from standardized products, insufficient product differentiation, and a general lack of awareness and appropriation of the GI concept by local actors, including consumers. Drawing on a comparative analysis of international experiences and the specificities of the Moroccan context, the study highlights institutional, economic, and socio-cultural barriers that limit the impact of GI schemes.
Furthermore, the paper proposes concrete avenues to strengthen the effectiveness of GI strategy in Morocco. It emphasizes the need for stronger local governance, better training for producers, improved market access, and greater synergy between agricultural, territorial, and trade policies. The ultimate goal is to foster the sustainable valorization of local products and to position GIs as a powerful driver of inclusive rural development.

Paper type: Theoretical Research.Les signes distinctifs d'origine et de qualité, en particulier les Indications Géographiques (IG), constituent aujourd’hui un levier essentiel pour la différenciation des produits agroalimentaires, aussi bien sur les marchés nationaux qu'internationaux. Au-delà de leur fonction commerciale, les IG contribuent à la valorisation des ressources locales, à la reconnaissance des savoir-faire traditionnels et à la dynamisation des territoires ruraux. Au Maroc, ce dispositif est de plus en plus perçu comme un outil stratégique pour renforcer la compétitivité des produits du terroir. Cependant, malgré les efforts institutionnels engagés depuis près de deux décennies, la mise en œuvre effective des IG reste confrontée à de nombreuses limites.
Cet article s’intéresse aux principaux défis qui entravent le développement des IG au Maroc, notamment la rareté des ressources matérielles et humaines, la concurrence des produits standardisés, l’insuffisante différenciation des produits labellisés, ainsi qu’un manque de sensibilisation et d’appropriation du concept par les acteurs locaux, y compris les consommateurs. En mobilisant une analyse croisée entre les expériences internationales et le contexte marocain, cette recherche met en lumière les freins institutionnels, économiques et socioculturels qui pèsent sur le processus de labellisation.
L’étude propose également des pistes d’action concrètes pour renforcer l'efficacité de la stratégie IG au Maroc, en insistant sur l’importance de la gouvernance locale, de la formation des producteurs, du soutien à la commercialisation, ainsi que d’une meilleure articulation entre les politiques agricoles, territoriales et commerciales. L’objectif est de favoriser une valorisation durable des produits locaux et de faire des IG un véritable outil de développement rural inclusif.

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
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
