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
Didatic Communication within Educational Digital Platforms during the Covid-19 Emergency: A Research in Higher Education
No full textThe communication maintained in the interaction environments of the digital platforms give access to the possibility of informal exchanges between teachers and students that go beyond the teaching activity. Online contact through Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Zoom or WhatsApp and Telegram profiles between teacher and student are considered common social practices promoted by the speed and ease of these tools. The design and operation of digital platforms are not neutral and affect teaching activities by creating what are called third spaces (Potter and McDougall, 2017). In the perspective of
the third space, digital technologies are not used as artefacts to deliver distance education, but to build a third and hybrid space other than both presence and distance, where the two initial spaces are enhanced and connected producing also emergencies (Rossi, 2019). The aim of the research is to analyse how the
teaching relationship between the university teacher and the students changes within the educational digital platforms. The hypothesis of this research is that the informal communication channels between teachers and students (the so-called third spaces) contribute to the change of the teacher-student
relationship by affecting also the didactic communication and its effectiveness. We interviewed 16 university lecturers and 32 students of different Italian universities and we involved 12 lecturers in two focus groups online to investigate what kind of relationships can be established on digital platforms and
in particular how an informal digital proximity can affect teaching communication and its effectiveness.
The results of our research highlighted how these third spaces can be intended as opportunities for individual and collective learning and training to be integrated with formal education activities at university level
