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
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
La parola come arma. Violenza verbale e relazioni di genere nei tribunali d’età moderna
No full textIl contributo si propone di analizzare l’uso della violenza verbale da parte delle donne in età moderna, con l’obiettivo di delinearne possibili percorsi e prospettive di ricerca.
A sollecitare l’indagine è, nello specifico, l’intenzione di mettere in luce le strategie discorsive adoperate dagli uomini e dalle donne che nell’Europa moderna ricorrono alla parola violenta non solo come strumento di aggressione personale o collettiva, ma anche come mezzo di risoluzione del conflitto, sul piano formale o extragiudiziario.
Le fonti giudiziarie ci restituiscono − seppur con tutti i limiti della fonte istituzionale scritta e scritta da uomini − l’esperienza dell’aula del tribunale, che diviene a sua volta arena di confronto e scontro: ne emerge una stretta correlazione tra la rappresentazione e la difesa dell’onore, come categoria sociale, e la parola violenta che esprime nel conflitto quotidiano la sua dimensione performativa.
Nel tentativo di inquadrare le differenti forme con cui si manifesta l’interazione verbale violenta, ci si soffermerà sull’impiego della parola ingiuriosa da parte delle donne tramite l’analisi di casi di studio, che ci forniscono uno spaccato dell’esperienza giudiziaria al femminile nei tribunali secolari del Mezzogiorno moderno.The article aims to analyse the use of verbal violence by women in the Early modern period, outlining its historiographical paths and research perspectives.
The aim of the research is to reveal the discursive strategies implemented by men and women, who in Early modern Europe use the violent speech not only as an instrument of individual or collective aggression, but also as a means of conflict resolution, either formally or through extrajudicial experience.
The documentary sources give us back - even if with all the limits of the written institutional source, which is also written by men, - the experience of the courtroom, which becomes a further arena of debate and conflict: a close correlation emerges between the representation and defense of honour as a social category and the violent word as an instrument that expresses in the daily conflict its performative dimension.
To frame the different forms in which is violent verbal interaction appears, we will focus on the use of the insulting word by women, through the analysis of several case studies that provide us with a cross-section of the female judicial experience in the secular courts of the kingdom of Naples in the Early modern period
Destreggiarsi tra malavita e giustizia. Una denuncia anonima settecentesca
No full textIl contributo si propone di analizzare una fonte singolare per lo studio del banditismo in età moderna. Si tratta di una denuncia anonima settecentesca, contenuta in un processo penale formato dalla Regia Udienza di Terra di Bari a carico della "banda de' Preziosi, comitiva armata ben nota nell'entroterra barese
La lingua sfrenata. Violenza verbale e relazioni di genere in età moderna
No full textIl contributo si propone di analizzare le narrazioni sviluppate intorno all’attributo della loquacità femminile in età moderna, caratterizzato da molteplici processi di disciplinamento giuridico e sociale.
L’obiettivo è comprendere attraverso quali discorsi viene fabbricata l’idea della parola femminile come arma impiegata dalle donne, talvolta presentata come soggetto satirico e stereotipato; uno sguardo particolare è concesso all’archetipo della “bisbetica domata” che, nell’immaginario collettivo, circoscrive e banalizza le maniere della moglie indisciplinata
