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
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
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
Une reconstruction de l'espace-temps : approche croisée des processus de patrimonialisation et de territorialisation dans les territoires ruraux en France et aux Maroc.
Full text linkPositioned in the social geographic field this study deals with the logical processes and methods of the heritage process in rural territories. He raised the hypothesis that the main actors are launching simultaneously heritage and territorial processes to rebuild a long-term territoriality. By giving to the space a temporal dimension and to the time a spatial influence, this new match rebuilds a new space-time conception, allowing societies to reconsider and to re-appropriate their own state to the world. This study is based on four different parts. Relying on the patrimonial and territorial concepts the first part establishes the general theoretical aspect by highlighting the fact that the space and time link is not self explanatory and is far to be obvious. This thesis ends with the formalization of systems based on historicity and geographicity, capable of translating these differentiated societal fundamentals. Then the second part analyzes this functioning around two sites : “the Chauvet cave” and “the viaduct of Millau” that disclose identical but inverse heritage processes. The practical details of construction of these two objects show that heritage process and territorialization cannot be dissociate and mutually support each other. This also highlights the fact that the construction of the object is associated with a valorization that interferes with a strict non valuable interpretation. That's why the third part is based on the notion of territorial resource. It shows, from a renewed definition that the territorial resource allow to overtake the classical oppositions, object/ subject and valuable/ non valuable, inoperating in the case of heritage. From there the horizon of mobilization of these dynamics, the sustainable development, is questionned and this conceptual formalization is criticized. Then, heritage process becomes a place of construction for a controlled territorial sustainability. The Fourth part demonstrates this, relying on the analysis of the pour-match heritage/territory implemented by the Public policies for development within differentiated cultural context, the french “Pôles d'Excellence Rurale” et the morocco “Pôles d'Economie du Patrimoine”. Lastly that leads up to conclude to the necessity to reconsider the sustainable development according to a pragmatic and non normative approach, the only one capable of following actual dynamics of reappropriation of time and space. Finally, in a societal context influenced by important concerns in terms of durability, this thesis brings a completely new thinking on the contemporary interactions between heritage and territories, testing their functioning in distinctive connections to the modernity.Positionné dans le champ de la géographie sociale, ce travail porte sur les formes et les logiques des processus de patrimonialisation engagés dans les territoires ruraux. Il fait l'hypothèse que les acteurs engagent simultanément des processus de patrimonialisation et de territorialisation pour reconstruire une durabilité territoriale. En donnant à l'espace une référence temporelle et au temps une emprise spatiale, ce couple nouveau, à penser ensemble dans un espace/temps refondateur, permet aux sociétés de se réapproprier leur être au monde. Cette thèse s'articule autour de quatre parties. En s'appuyant sur les concepts de patrimonialisation et de territorialisation, la première partie fixe le cadre théorique général en mettant en avant que les rapports au temps et à l'espace ne vont pas de soi. Elle aboutit à la formalisation de régimes d'historicité et de géographicité capables de traduire ces inscriptions sociétales différenciées. Puis, la deuxième partie s'attache à analyser ce fonctionnement autour de deux objets symétriques, la grotte Chauvet et le viaduc de Millau, qui révèlent des processus de patrimonialisation identiques mais inversés. Les modalités de construction de ces deux objets montrent que la patrimonialisation et la territorialisation ne peuvent pas être dissociées et qu'elles se nourrissent mutuellement. Cela met aussi en avant le fait que la construction de l'objet s'accompagne d'une valorisation qui perturbe la lecture non marchande stricte. C'est pourquoi, la troisième partie s'appuie sur la notion de ressource territoriale et à partir d'une définition renouvelée, montre qu'elle permet de dépasser les oppositions classiques, objet/sujet et marchand/non marchand, non opérantes dans le cas du patrimoine. De là, l'horizon de mobilisation de ces dynamiques, le développement durable, est questionné et sa formalisation conceptuelle est critiquée. Le patrimoine devient alors le lieu de construction d'une durabilité territoriale maitrisée. La quatrième partie démontre cela en s'appuyant sur l'analyse du couple patrimoine/territoire dans la mise en œuvre de politiques publiques de développement, au sein de contextes culturels différenciés, les Pôles d'Excellence Rurale français et les Pôles d'Economie du Patrimoine marocains. Cela amène à conclure à la nécessité de reconsidérer le développement durable selon une approche pragmatique et non normative, la seule capable de suivre les dynamiques actuelles de réappropriation de l'espace et du temps. Au final, dans un contexte sociétal marqué par des préoccupations fortes en matière de durabilité, cette thèse permet d'apporter une réflexion inédite sur les interactions contemporaines entre patrimoines et territoires, en testant leur fonctionnement dans des rapports distincts à la modernité
Vers un nouveau moteur d’attractivité géographique ? Le charisme territorial
Full text linkNational audienceAlors que la ruralité française regagne de la population, ni les explications liées à la proximité métropolitaine, ni les causes classiques migratoires (emploi, foncier) n’expliquent partout ce renversement. La question qui se pose est donc celle du nouveau moteur de développement démographique de ces territoires périphériques, souvent éloignés. La proposition faite dans le cadre de cet article est de mobiliser la notion de charisme territorial. Travaillée en sociologie des légitimités par Max Weber, cette notion permet de repositionner le centre d’attractivité de certains territoires. Les territoires proposent des qualités, reconnues et partagées par les touristes et les néo-résidents qui ont à voir avec l’émotion géographique
