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

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
Situating Freedom: A Study of Hegel's Philosophy of History and Theory of the State
No full textThesis advisor: Paul T. WilfordThis dissertation is an inquiry into Hegel’s account of the modern constitutional state. In particular, it traces Hegel’s understanding of its historical genesis, theoretical foundations, and sustaining conditions. Chapter one begins with an examination of the presuppositions, method, and structure of Hegel’s philosophy of history, which provides the anthropological and historical framework that underpins his political thought. Hegel argues that the human is a rationally reflective, socially embedded, historically self-transformative being, whose nature can only be fully realized through intersubjective recognition under norms that affirm the inherent dignity and equality of human beings. Seeking to uncover the logic that has been at work within history, he portrays it as a “progress in the consciousness of freedom” that is driven by the search for a form of intelligibility and a corresponding socio-political order in which the human being can be fully at home in the world. Chapters two and three reconstruct Hegel’s account of this historical development, which proceeds through a series of ethical-political orders that each instantiate a distinct image of the human and the divine. This development culminates in the production of institutional conditions that allow for the full recognition of human freedom: the emergence of a universal notion of right, the affirmation of individual moral autonomy, and the creation of modern constitutional nation-states. Chapter four turns to Hegel’s conception of the political order that best realizes modern notions of justice and freedom. While Hegel fully affirms and embraces a notion of the individual as a rights-bearing and morally autonomous agent, he contends that a philosophically adequate conception of freedom must account for the historically-formed institutions that realize freedom by making it concrete. His conception of ethical life portrays the modern individual as the creation of specific institutional configurations, shared normative commitments, habits, and mores that bind a community together and produce a "second nature.” Hegel thereby provides a conception of political community that integrates the historical, social, and cultural conditions that nourish and sustain modern liberal institutions and their underlying aspirations. The dissertation concludes with a critical juxtaposition between Hegel’s and Carl Schmitt’s judgements of liberalism in an attempt to reflect upon the enduring tensions within the modern constitutional state.Thesis (PhD) — Boston College, 2024.Submitted to: Boston College.
