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
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

MY DEAR CHARLES,
The family portraits which once hung at t The Forks of Cypress were distributed by Grandmother Jackson to her various sons. They were later collected by Sarah Henderson who had as a little girl played at the Forks , and was very fond of it, and knew much of the tradi- tion of the family. She in turn left them to her nephew . He now feels that they should again be distributed and asked me to select the kins folk to whom they should go.
A I am the last of the second generation, a frequent visitor at the Forks the youngest son of the youngest son familiar with the genealogyeto and the history of th e Forks I am writing to you to offer the portrait of James Jackson the builder of the Forks .
My Grandfather named his second son James Jackson ( HIa first son was named Andrew Jackson. , Old HIckory and he being great friends at that time) This Uncle Jim a and his family lived with his younger brother George Mo Moore Jackson on the plantation MOOrefields , near Tuscum bia Ala for six years after the War. They all moved to Florence when James Jackson\u27s wife Elizabeth died. Both men then being widowers the children were distributed among relatives for schooling etc. ONe son of James went to the Forks and was there several years till the old est sister was mature enough to run the household . Both brothers then established their families in Florence .. So Charles was about four years at the Forks You have h heard your father tell much of the Forks . I am sure that you will greatly prize this portrait and transmit in the future to worthy hands.
All goes well here and send love.
AFFECTIONATELY
Uncle Harry.

MY DEAR CHARLES,
promptly wrote to Sylvester Labrot telling him that yo would be delighted to get the portrait of James Jack- son and giving him your address. So though he may not be at home for the moment I think that before long you w will hear from him and get the portrait.
His address is SYLVESTER W. LABROT
1520 WASHINGTON AVE
NEW ORLEANS (13)
Now about the news: Elizabeth Jackson has married a Colonel Roger Car- leson U.S.M.C. of the class of 36 I think. Though he was not at the Naval Academy. He has a Son Roger Jr. about 11 yeats old. The Colonel is now in Korea , on the staff of A Major General of Marines. The boy is in School in New England. Elizabeth is staying with me awaiting developments. Ready to go in any direction at the drop of a hat.
Sylvester Labrot is the nephew of Sally Henderson and she collected all the portraits for a gallery in her home in New Orlearns, one of the old time houses there. Her nephew knew little of any on them . He has a house here in Coronado as well as others in different places So He decided that I would be a good agent to re-distribute them.
He has a married and a single son None of them interested He no doubt would be pleased to find that you highly prized your portrait.
I did noy know that Betty Lamar Jones had moved to Florence to live. I must write to W, H, Mitchell Jr who received the Great Uncle JOHN Jackson portrait of that fact
I was interested to hear of the news of Bill Jack- son I presume that his wife remains in New Orleans . I th think that you wrote me that they have no children

Alex last week took command of The A.K.A. Vermillion at Orange Texas at the Naval Station there I think that it is the fifth ship that he has put in Commission. OF course Alex is away ahead of time in age for a Cap- tain and except in war time he would have no chance to get flag rank . But he might make Commodore now . Ay any rate you can count on him to give his very best With all this War service no doubt he will get the title when he retires , But a little active fling would be lots better. The boy Alex Jr is finishing now his schooling for Ensign at Tulane , I Think.
Write and tell me more about Sarah and the two little girls, who may be little no longer.
I still go along about as usual . I play golf every morning at nine, Sunday excepted. Each afternoon I work in my garden, I am the only gardener. Around sundown I g go Gallavantin\u27 taking in the various K.T parties etc that are abundant about that hour.
I still havethe house-keeper that I have had for about ten years . She and her husband live in a nice bungalow at the back . The arrangement is most successful viewed by both parties.
A very warm HOWDY to you and all your family from Elizabeth and me
Affectionately
UNCLE HARRY

The 1950 letter was written by admiral Richard Harrison Jackson to Charles- I think these 2 letters should be kept with the portraits at the museum- (I kept Xerox copies)
