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
Wood, the Process, and Me
Full text linkThis paper provides an overview of my personal relationship with trees and tree-related materials that I collect, conserve and transform. The focus of the paper, which is a support to the thesis exhibition, is on the process of making sculptures which are part of the thesis exhibition. The experience of the collected found tree forms becomes a metaphor for my chronic illness, a painful condition of the spine that results in the degeneration of the intervertebral disks. The sculptural forms I create represent the frozen moments of restriction and deformation that result in the process of making them. These sculptural forms mimic the restrictions that are the result of the disease as it spreads throughout the body. Artists Eva Hesse, Mark Dion, and Tony Cragg become significant inspirations in understanding the meaning and knowledge behind the materials in their art practices. All of us conserve, reclaim, and reconceptualize in various ways through our material use. The imaginative and physical activity of reconstructing the tree forms informs my relationship with the unseen forms of the spine within me
Other Self
Full text linkThe works created for the thesis exhibition Other Self depict not only the likeness of family members, but also the essence of the relationship between the model and artist. Through portraiture, I explore the stylistic decisions and theories that affect the viewer. This paper examines how I create moments of introspection for the viewer. When my drawn portraits provoke introspection, or the examination of one’s self, there is a moment created – a moment for the viewer to focus on their own lives by experiencing my memories of the people who have shaped my life. The portraits and thesis are influenced by the words of my mother: you are who you hang around with.
In Part One, I discuss the genre of hyperrealism and its more-than-real use of exaggeration and detail, sparking the viewer’s relationship with the drawing. I then explore the context of portraiture and its essential role in the connection between the model, artist, and viewer. Furthermore, I examine the use of the photograph as source material for drawing. Likewise, I will examine how the use of drawing and artistic decisions affects the work’s reception. In Part Two, I discuss theories of phenomenology that encourage introspection in relation to my work and its connection with perception and memory. I look at the phenomenological and its connection with memory. To conclude, I relate Jan Zwicky’s concept of ‘Lyric Philosophy’ to the experiential encounter with an artwork
