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
The poetics of exile in the work of Abdellatif Laâbi
No full textCette thèse analyse une œuvre singulière, celle du poète Abdellatif Laâbi, au prisme de la poétique de l’exil dans des récits et recueils poétiques sélectionnés. La présente étude propose un itinéraire en trois étapes : elle décrit d’abord ce que nous nommerons l’exil intérieur, avec une rétrospective de la période de parution de la revue « Souffles », ainsi que l’arrestation d’Abdellatif Laâbi, les huit années d’emprisonnement qu’il subira, et sa sortie de l’enfer carcéral dans un pays, le Maroc, qu’il ne reconnaît plus et auquel il se sent étranger ; elle se penche ensuite sur l’exil géographique, qui débute en 1985 lorsque Laâbi quitte le pays natal pour Paris. Elle envisage ensuite la période qui débute en 1994, année où Laâbi retourne vivre au Maroc. C’est le cœur lourd et empli de désillusions, qu’il reprend à nouveau le chemin exilique vers Paris, s’installant ainsi sur la frontière d’un entre-deux ; elle tente enfin de déterminer, au fil de sa création littéraire, un au-delà de l’exil, un « desexil », où le poète exorcise ses fêlures. Cette thèse interroge de quelle manière le motif de l’exil, à travers le déracinement, le retour au pays natal, puis l’éloignement apaisé, deviennent des moteurs de création littéraire sublimant l’écriture laâbienne.This thesis analyzes a singular work, that of poet Abdellatif Laâbi, through the prism of the poetics of exile in selected stories and poetic works. This study proposes a three-stage itinerary: first, it describes what we will call “inner exile”, with a retrospective of the period of publication of the magazine "Souffles", from 1966 to 1973; as well as Abdellatif Laâbi's arrest, the eight years of imprisonment he had to endure, and his release from prison’s hell in a country, Morocco, that he no longer recognized and to which he felt alienated; it then deal with “geographical exile”, which began in 1985 when Laâbi left his homeland for Paris. It then considers the period beginning in 1994, when Laâbi returned to live in Morocco. With a heavy heart and full of disillusionment, he once again took the exilic road to Paris, settling on the border of an in-between world. Finally, it attempts to identify, in the course of his literary creation, a “beyond to exile”, a "desexil", where the poet exorcises his intimate “fissures”. This thesis examines how the motif of exile, through uprooting, the return to the homeland, and then a appeased estrangement, become the driving force behind the literary creation that sublimates Laâbian writing
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
