    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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

    We 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

    RESUMEN Referendum sobre la oficializacióon del inglés en cinco estados: Cuál es la reacción contra los hispanohablantes? Sufragantes de Alabama, Arizona, California, Colorado y Florida aprobaron el referendum que hace del inglés su lengua oficial. E1 autor utiliza el voto por condado a favor del inglés (variable dependiente) para defender cinco hipôtesis: la racial (los anglos contra los latinos), la étnica (los negros contra los latinos), la económica (la clase de menores ingresos contra los latinos), la politica (los republicanos contra los latinos), y la cultural (el indigenismo contra los latinos). Como variables independientes el autor incluye por cada estado los porcentajes de poblaciôn latina, negra, con education universitaria, por debajo de la línea oficial de pobreza, y rural, el ingreso medio familiar y el total de poblaciôn de cada una de ellas, además del voto por Ronald Reagan en 1984. Las hipôtesis racial y cultural no son validas; la rivalidad étnica emerge solo en Alabama; la hipôtesis de clases esta sostenida por relaciones negativas con el nivel cultural. Pero es la hipôtesis politica la que ofrece la explication mas convincente, ya que el apoyo a Reagan da el pronóstico mas seguro para el voto por la oficialización del inglés a través de los cinco estados. RESUMO Voĉdonado en kvin statoj en referendumoj pri oficialigo de la angla lingvo: kia reago kontraŭ hispanparolantoj? Vocdonantoj en Alabamo, Arizono, Florido, Kalifornio kaj Kolorado aprobis referendumojn, kiuj igis la anglan ilia oficiala lingvo. La aûtoro uzas la laûprovincan vocnombron subtenan al la angla (dependa varianto) por provi kvin hipotezojn: rasa (angla kontraŭ hispana), etna (nigra kontraŭ hispana), ekonomia (malaltklasa kontraŭ hispana), politika (respublikana kontraŭ hispana), kaj kultura (indigenisma kontraŭ hispana). Kiel nedependajn variantojn la aŭtoro enmetas: la procentaĵon en ciu provinco kiu estas hispana, nigra, universitatnivele klerigita, sub la nivelo de malriceco, kaj kampara; la mezan familian enspezon; la kompletan nombron de enloĝantoj; kaj la nombron de vocoj por Ronald Reagan en 1984. La rasaj kaj kulturaj hipotezoj ne validigas; etna rivaleco aperas nur en Alabamo; la klasa hipotezo estas apogata de negativa rilato kun la kleriga nivelo. Sed la politika hipotezo proponas la plej konvinkan klarigon en tio, ke subteno al Reagan estas la plej konsekvenca prognozanto de vocdonado por oficialigo de la angla trans ciuj kvin statoj.</jats:p
