    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” 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 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

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    We 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

    최근 발생하는 사이버 공격은 양적으로 늘어나고 있을 뿐만 아니라 그 공격 목적도 다변화되고 공격 수법이 다양화되는 질적 변화를 보이고 있다. 무엇보다도 큰 변화는 일견 일탈적 해커 집단의 소행으로 보이는 사이버 공격의 배후에 러시아, 중국, 이란, 북한 등과 같은 국가 행위자들이 개입 하면서 지정학적 갈등과 연계될 가능성이 높다는 사실이다. 이러한 국가지원 해킹에 대해서 미국 트럼프 행정부는 부당한 해킹공격에 대해서는 맞공격도 불사하겠다는 강경한 모습을 보이고 있다. 군사적 옵션의 사용까지도 거론하며 공세적인 경향을 보여 온 트럼프 행정부의 사이버 안보 전략 은 신냉전 시대의 도래라는 프레임까지 동원하며 과장되기도 했다. 그러나 최근 트럼프 행정부가 전개하고 있는 사이버 안보 전략을 단순히 물리적 공세의 강화라는 맥락에서만 이해하는 것은 사 이버 안보 문제의 고유한 성격과 이에 대응하는 전략의 복합성을 간과할 우려가 있다. 최근 사이버 안보 문제는 단순한 해킹공격의 문제를 넘어서 통상마찰, 데이터 안보, 심리전 등과 같은 다양한 국제정치의 이슈들과 연계되고 있으며, 일국전략 또는 양자관계의 차원을 넘어서 다자적인 국제규 범 모색의 문제로까지 진화하고 있기 때문이다. 이러한 인식을 바탕으로 이 글은 복합지정학 (complex geopolitics)의 시각에서 최근 사이버 안보 분야의 변화 양상을 살펴보고, 이에 대응하는 트럼프 행정부의 사이버 안보 전략과 그 의미를 개념화하였다.The latest cyber attacks are not only increasing in quantity, but also changes in the patterns of the attacks—diversifying its targets and adopting various methods. A major change is likely to be linked to geopolitical conflicts as state actors such as Russia, China, Iran and North Korea intervene behind the cyber attacks, which have been previously attempted by deviant hacker groups. The U.S. Trump administration is showing strong will to launch counterattacks against such illegitimate hacking attacks. The Trump administrations cybersecurity strategies, which have shown a tendency to attack by even mentioning the use of military options, has been exaggerated by mobilizing a framework called the advent of the New Cold War era. However, understanding the latest cybersecurity strategies under the Trump administration only in the context of enhancing physical attacks might overlook the unique nature of cybersecurity issues and the complexity of corresponding strategies. The recent cybersecurity issues have been linked to various international politics such as trade friction, data security and psychological warfare, and has evolved to seek multilateral international norms beyond national strategies of one nation or bilateral relations between nations. Relying on this perception, this paper looks at the recent changes in cybersecurity from the perspective of complex geopolitics and conceptualizes cybersecurity strategies of the Trump administration and its implications

    We 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

    The Huawei Incident and U.S.-China Technological Hegemony Competition: The Complex Geopolitics of Leading Sectors and Cyber Security

    최근 복잡다단해지고 있는 미중경쟁의 단면을 가장 극명하게 보여주는 사례 중의 하나가 화웨 이 사태이다. 중국의 통신장비 업체인 화웨이의 제품에 심어진 백도어를 통해서 미국의 국가안보 에 큰 영향을 미칠 정도로 중요한 데이터가 유출될 우려가 있다는 것이 쟁점이다. 이러한 인식은 화웨이 제품에 대한 전략적 수출입 규제와 이에 수반되는 양국 간의 통상마찰을 낳고 있으며, 이러 한 과정에서 동맹국들을 동원해서라도 화웨이를 견제하겠다는 외교전의 양상까지 나타나고 있다. 이러한 사태 전개의 기저에 5G 이동통신으로 대변되는 선도부문의 기술패권 경쟁이 깔려 있음도 놓쳐서는 안 된다. 미국은 중국의 기술굴기를 견제하고 화웨이와 같은 기업들을 지원하는 중국의 정책과 법·제도를 비판한다. 이러한 맥락에서 볼 때, 화웨이 사태는 미래 글로벌 패권을 놓고 벌 이는 미중 양국의 지정학적 경쟁을 방불케 한다. 이 글은 이렇게 복합적인 양상으로 전개되고 있 는 화웨이 사태를 이해하는 이론적 분석틀로서 복합지정학(Complex Geopolitics)의 시각을 제안 하였다. 복합지정학은 지정학의 유용성을 인정하면서도, 최근 변화된 세계정치의 양상을 제대로 이 해하기 위해서는, 단순히 기존의 전통 지정학으로의 회귀가 아닌, 좀 더 복합적으로 이론화된 새 로운 지정학의 시각이 필요함을 역설한다. 이러한 복합지정학의 시각에서 본 화웨이 사태는, 선도 부문의 기술패권 경쟁을 배경으로 하여 사이버 안보 논란과 정책·제도 마찰, 사이버 연대외교 등 의 쟁점이 복합적으로 연계되는 미중경쟁의 사례이다. The so-called Huawei Incident is one of the most typical examples of the U.S.-China competition in recent years. The issue is that the backdoor planted in the products of Huawei, a Chinese mobile telecom equipment maker, could leak data that is so important as to have a significant impact on U.S. national security. This perception creates strategic import and export restrictions on Huawei products and the accompanying trade friction between the two countries, and the U.S. is deploying a kind of diplomatic war to block Huawei even by mobilizing its allies. We should also note that the U.S.-China technology hegemony competition in the leading sectors represented by 5G mobile communications is at the root of this Incident. The U.S. checks Chinas technological rise and criticizes Chinas government policies and domestic laws that support companies like Huawei. In this context, the Huawei Incident means a geopolitical rivalry between the U.S. and China over future global hegemony. This paper proposed the perspective of Complex Geopolitics as a new theoretical framework for understanding the Huawei Incident in such a systematic manner. Complex geopolitics recognizes the usefulness of existing classical geopolitics, but stresses the need to seek a more complex understanding of geopolitics, not merely a return to traditional geopolitics, in order to properly understand the recent transformation of world politics. From this perspective of complex geopolitics, the Huawei Incident is an example of the U.S.-China competition for technology hegemony in the leading sector. in which such issues as cyber security, system friction, and allied diplomacy are inter-linked
