    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

    A study on the combined effect of obesity and load carriage on plantar pressure patterns of primary school children

    From childhood, children are required daily to carry a load (necessary to perform their regular school activities) that is often beyond the limits established for adult workers. While some critical issues related to possible negative consequences in terms of postural alterations and onset of musculoskeletal diseases are well known and investigated, little information is available for the population of overweight and obese children, which appears to increase year after year. As their bodies are physiologically subject to a certain degree of overload, the addition of a supplemental load may induce further stress, the effects of which should be carefully evaluated. This study focuses on the foot-ground relationship, with special attention on plantar pressure distribution. The primary goal is to assess whether or not backpack presence alters in different ways the physiological pressure patterns in obese subjects compared with normal ones. To this end, 45 obese and overweight children (6-10 years old) and an equal sample of non-obese schoolmates matched for gender, age and height, were tested with a pressure platform to acquire the plantar pressure distribution in absence and presence of a backpack. Results show that the carried load induces similar increases in both groups, even though a significant shift of the center of pressure in presence of a backpack was found for obese female subjects. The very high pressure peaks observed in the obese population suggest that further studies are required to evaluate specific issues of the musculoskeletal system related to the combination of load carriage and obesity

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    Full text link
    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
