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
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

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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
Nuestra Señora de Belén Catholic Church, Belen, New Mexico – Burials Register Extractions 1800-1860
No full textThis dataset was created as part of a larger study to recover the Belen colonial Catholic mission Church and the Plaza Vieja emergence history. By using extractions in Oswald Gilbert Baca’s Burial Records from the Roman Catholic Parish of Nuestra Señora de Belen, Belen, New Mexico, 1793 – 1900 as an initial source and comparing with the original register pages (available online at familysearch.org), I have begun to verify, clarify, correct and expand Baca’s extractions.
For ease in sorting and counting, I created a master spreadsheet with all the pertinent information pulled from Oswald Baca’s extractions and from images of the original burial registers. I also used the 1790 census of Belen and Los Chavez to help identify the deceased origins/class/ethnicity. Burials began at the new church grounds immediately after the opening of the new church at the present location of the current Our Lady of Belen Church. Therefore, I conclude at this point in my research that burials at the Belen Plaza Vieja church site (and neighboring properties) took place from 1800-1860. There is the possibility of some Belen area residents buried at the original church grounds prior to 1800 although the Isleta burial register notes that those early Belen residents were buried in San Agustin de la Isleta church or some at the Tomé church. There is also the possibility that some continued to bury their family members privately on the grounds after 1860 into the early 1900s.
By studying the Nuestra Señora de Belen church burial register, which includes notation of burials inside the church and the earliest cemetery burials, which would have been immediately outside the front entrance of the church, this work not only provides statistical information about the life and death of early Belen parishioners, but also helped identify potential areas for archeological excavation. The extension of this study along with continued genealogical research can also be used in corroboration with future archeological excavation results and DNA studies to confirm ancestor descendant relationships and establish cultural affinities of early Belen area residents.

The Armendárizes: A Transnational Family in New Mexico and Mexico
No full textAlthough the Armendáriz surname is uncommon in New Mexico today,
the Armendáriz family was important in New Mexico during the early
to mid-1800s, with key political, diplomatic, and social links to Texas; California;
Washington, D.C.; and Mexico. The lives of the Armendárizes attest
to the long and constant movement of people, trade, and politics along El
Camino Real de Tierra Adentro (the Royal Road of the Interior) and to the
formation of a binational region. From Santa Fe, New Mexico, to the El Paso/
Ciudad Juárez border and Chihuahua City to Mexico City, the Armendáriz
family legacy demonstrates that New Mexico has never been completely isolated
from the larger history, national formation, or culture of Mexico. This
article recounts five generations of Armendárizes to explore how one New
Mexico family helped shape a transnational border region in the Mexican
North and American Southwest
The Casasola Legacy in El Paso
Get PDFThis article brings to light the historical context of El Paso’s unknown and uncelebrated connection to the legendary Casasola family photo dynasty in Mexico. The local El Paso Casasola portrait studio photographer and owner did not capture iconic Mexican Revolutionary images like those of his contemporary famed photographer family members in Mexico City, but instead he recorded the visual memory of ordinary individuals and families residing in the US/Mexico border region
