Caribbean Report 31-12-1990
No full textSpecial edition.1. Headlines (00:00-01:24)2. Cuba continues to cling to socialist ideals and is becoming increasingly isolated a year after the winds of change swept through Eastern Europe. Jorge Mas Canosa, Chairman of the Cuban American National Foundation, predicts that 1991 will usher in the demise of Fidel Castro and shares his vision for a reformed Cuba in a post-Castro era. His strategy for Cuba’s economic revival includes a free market economy and the creation of an economy not dependent on foreign assistance fuelled by the return of exiled talent and wealth. Dr. Wayne Smith, Director of Cuban Studies at the John Hopkins University in Washington, states that Jorge Mas Canosa is unlikely to secure the popular support of Cubans and therefore not succeed Fidel Castro as president. In 1991 the future of Cuba will inevitably attract much attention and Jorge Mas Canosa further contends there is a need for closer links between Cuba and the other Caribbean countries

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
