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
Représentation labyrinthique de l’errance dans le dédale du monde moderne chez Rachid Boudjedra
Get PDFIn ideal Topography for a characterized aggression, Rachid Boudjedra represents an illiterate emigrant lost in the maze of the Parisian subway. The reader follows the errance of this emigrant in search of his drop point writing on a bit of paper. At the end of long odyssée, it is found mortally attacked by a group of racists in exit of the subway. Our analysis based on works of Gilbert Durand, Umberto Eco, Deleuze and Guattari, Ethnocritic and urban semiotics, wants to be a description of this allegory of the modern world represented by the Parisian subway. An allegory that the writing that us of labyrinthian practised by the author also represents at the scriptural level.In ideal Topography for a characterized aggression, Rachid Boudjedra represents an illiterate emigrant lost in the maze of the Parisian subway.

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
Scenography of a Meta-Reflection on African Literature In La plus secrète mémoire des hommesby Mohamed Mbougar Sarr
No full text— The novel La plus secrète mémoire des hommesby Mohamed Mbougar Sarr, awarded the Goncourt Prize in 2021, has the particularity of being the textual space for questioning the status of African literature in the literary field. Sarr, through the process of mise en abyme, recontextualizes the scandal of the 1968 Renaudot Prize obtained by Yambo Ouologuem with his novel Le devoir de violence. In Sarr’s novel – now forming a diptych – this novel and its author become the object of a quest for the characters, who seek to unravel the mystery of its ingenious composition : a tapestry of collage, transposition, parody, and quotation. This composition ultimately brings discredit to its author who was accused of plagiarism. Beyond this query, however, Sarr offers the reader a reflection on the place of Francophone African literature position within the French literary field and more broadly universal, in what Pascale Casanova calls « the world republic of letters ». A reflection in a novel on literature in a kind of meta-discourse, which we aim to analyze in order to shed light on the lack, among some, in their reception of literature from Africans republican spirit that is open and tolerant, egalitarian and fraternal, humanist and anti-racist.Le roman La plus secrète mémoire des hommes de Mohamed Mbougar Sarr primé par le Goncourt 2021 a la particularité d’être le lieu textuel d’un questionnement sur la place de la littérature africaine dans le champ littéraire. Sarr par le biais du procédé de la mise en abyme réactualise le scandale du Renaudot 1968 obtenu par Yambo Oulouguen avec son roman Le devoir de violence. Ce roman et son auteur deviennent dans le roman de Sarr, désormais son dyptique, l’objet d’une quête des personnages : chercher à percer le mystère de sa composition ingénieuse faite de collage, de transposition, de parodie et de citations jusqu’à valoir à son auteur le discrédit car accusé de plagiat. Mais au-delà de cette question, Sarr propose au lecteur une réflexion sur la place de la littérature africaine francophone dans le champ littéraire français et plus largement universel, dans ce que Pascale Casanova nomme « la république mondiale des lettres ». Une réflexion dans un roman sur la littérature, en une sorte de méta-discursivité que nous nous proposons d’analyser. Ceci afin de mettre en lumière l’absence chez certains, dans leur réception de la littérature venant des africains, d’un esprit républicain ouvert et tolérant, égalitaire et fraternel, humaniste et anti-racial.  
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
