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
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

Development of Web Resources in Select Fields of Social Sciences with a View to Design a Model Subject Gateway
No full textThe present age is the age of technology and the process of information communication is influenced by this technological gimmick. With the advent of the Web, various information resources have launched themselves on the online. Today any information resource without a Web version is considered at the verge of extinction. The revolution created by Web has led in the development of new concepts like online journals, online books, Electronic Theses and Dissertations, Wikis, etc that are the representatives of the Web resources. The growth of these Web resources is an explosive one as everyone is aware about their benefits. It is in this context, that the present study assesses the Web resources in terms of their growth and development from different perspectives.
For giving the study a systematic and articulate look, it is divided in to seven chapters, Bibliography and two appendices (I and II). The study is a collection of first two introductory chapters. The First Chapter deals with the introduction about the research problem undertaken. It includes objectives, scope and the terms used in the research topic. Furthermore, it also portrays the methodology used for the completion of the research.
The Second Chapter summarizes the history and development of Social Sciences. The chapter also lays emphasis on the World Wide Web and its related technologies. The historical development and features of World Wide Web are systematically endowed with. Various search tools and techniques related to Web are lucidly elucidated. Further, detailed information about search engines, meta-search engines, directories and subject gateways being the providers of various Web resources also form a part of the chapter. It also highlights the various types of Web resources, their utility and features. Their historical development is also an important segment of this chapter laying more emphasis on online books and online journals. Growth of other resources like Electronic Theses and Dissertations, newsletters, newspapers, scholarly papers; etc are also included in this portion of the study. This first part of the study communally establishes an intellectual and theoretical context for the rest of the study.
Chapter Third lists the review of the related literature. This chapter helps in deducing the hypotheses as the literature pertaining to the study helps in tracing the latest trends in the Web resources. It is one of the chapters in the theses that deal with the process of deducing, rather than focusing on one particular concept, model, theory or methodology. The articles reviewed have been arranged chronologically in order to trace the growth and development of Web resources meticulously. These are arranged in the said order so that the landmarks can be perceived.
Chapter Four highlights the various sources selected for the completion of the study. Their important features and historical development are also identified.
Chapter Five, the important chapter of the study is the pedestal stone for the whole study. It is from this chapter that arranged information in the form of tables, graphs and textual analysis germinates. It is the spring from which the analysis and interpretation giggles out. The data after a careful and repeated observation is presented in the form of tables. To support the tables, diagrammatic representations and conclusions give this chapter a catchier look.
Chapter Six provides results of the analysed data of chapter five, in a textual format. It discusses the generated results more extensively.
Chapter Seven includes the views on designing a Model Subject Gateway. It highlights the various features which can be incorporated in developing a Subject Gateway which can prove more beneficial to the users who access the Web resources. Further, it also highlights the limitations of existing subject gateways with a view of developing a user friendly Model Subject Gateway.
The thesis also contains bibliography and two appendices. (I and II) The appendices give details about the resources studied. Appendix I encompasses the details about the online journals while as Appendix II covers the details about the online books

Organization and Services of High Court Libraries in Northern India: An Evaluative Study.
No full textSince the development of High Court Libraries in India has taken place at a snail’s pace. These libraries have not attained a state of relative maturity when compared to our western counter parts. This theme has assumed a great significance in the western world; hence the researcher is same to find out existing environment of the High Court libraries in Northern part of India. Therefore, there is a need to study their existing foundation, operations and services to identify their degree of strengths and weaknesses. The study shows that a lot of development is still needed to be done in this part of world so that these could claim of being the legal information hub in the apex court at the state level.Digital Copy of ThesisUniversity of Kashmi
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
