    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

    Notre recherche s’intéresse au développement de deux études d’ingénierie coopérative réalisées avec des professionnels de l’animation, du travail social et un vidéaste-journaliste en Irak et en Roumanie. Inscrites dans le champ de la didactique, elles s’attachent à accompagner le développement de la résilience et de l’empowerment de jeunes en situation de vulnérabilité par la création, la mise à l’essai et l’analyse de dispositifs de biographie artistique. La biographie (ou l’écriture de la vie) artistique vise ainsi la narration par l’art, d’expériences de vie individuelles et collectives (centrées sur la culture, les identités, les environnements) au travers de processus de création artistique. Cette étude vise ainsi une transformation conjointe des postures et des compétences de professionnels afin qu’ils soient au plus près de leurs objectifs éducatifs et éthiques. Les analyses de nos cas emblématiques font état de plusieurs conditions pour développer une culture de la résilience-empowerment : 1) le développement d’une coopération entre les jeunes afin de développer des aptitudes sociales spécifiques, 2) l’accès à l’imaginaire et à la création artistique pour transmettre de nouvelles perceptions de soi et du monde, 3) le développement d’une parenté épistémique entre les jeunes et la culture partagée par l’artiste, pour qu’ils en deviennent des connaisseurs pratique, 4) le développement de dispositions éthiques dans l’action conjointe entre les professionnels et les jeunes.Our research focuses on the development of two cooperative engineering studies carried out with professionals in the fields of animation and social work and a video journalist in Iraq and Romania. As part of the field of didactics, they aim to support the development of resilience and empowerment of young people in vulnerable situations through the creation, testing and analysis of artistic biography systems. The aim of artistic biography (or life writing) is to use art to tell the story of individual and collective life experiences (centred on culture, identities and environments) through artistic creation processes. The aim of this study is to bring about a joint transformation in the postures and skills of professionals so that they are as close as possible to their educational and ethical objectives. The analyses of our emblematic cases point to several conditions for developing a culture of resilience-empowerment: 1) the development of cooperation between young people in order to develop specific social skills, 2) access to the imagination and artistic creation in order to convey new perceptions of oneself and of the world, 3) the development of an epistemic kinship between young people and the culture shared by the artist, so that they become practical connoisseurs of it, 4) the development of ethical dispositions in the joint action between professionals and young people

    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

    Get PDF
    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
