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
Development and Validation of a Home Literacy Questionnaire to Assess Emergent Reading Skills of Pre-School Children
Get PDFPoor psychometric characteristics of home literacy measures have been proposed as a probable reason for the weak relationships found between home literacy and emergent literacy. To investigate this idea further three studies were performed. The first study involved a methodological review of current home literacy studies. The purpose of this methodological review was to pinpoint specific problems that could have an effect on the validity of home literacy measures and the conclusions drawn from these measures. The review of the evolution of the home literacy definition across studies and how it was translated into the measures used to assess home literacy highlighted the fact that the overall home literacy construct was well understood but that the individual home literacy dimensions (i.e., reading environment, reading activities, reading beliefs and expectations) lacked the kind of detail needed to produce representative home literacy measures. Consequently, the second study consisted of experts in the area of home literacy assessing current home literacy definitions and providing suggestions for improving these definitions. This assessment resulted in the development of a comprehensive and well informed definition of not just home literacy but also the underlying dimensions of home literacy. The third and final study used these definitions to identify a pool of items for each dimension that were then assessed for relevancy by a subset of the home literacy experts who took part in Study 2. The end product of this third and final study, and this dissertation, is a set of questions that researchers in the area can use to draw from when developing a home literacy questionnaire for their studies
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
