    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    Postkeynesianische Alternativen in Wirtschaftstheorie und Wirtschaftspolitik: Lösungsvorschläge zur globalen Finanz- und Wirtschaftskrise

    Angesichts der offensichtlichen Machtlosigkeit der herrschenden ökonomischen Lehrmeinung und deren wirtschaftspolitischen Ausformung des Neoliberalismus wirksameWege aus der globalen Finanz-, Wirtschafts- und Verschuldungskrise aufzuzeigen, widmet sich dieser Beitrag einer ökonomischen Alternative: dem Postkeynesianismus. Dieser versteht sich als Opposition zum ökonomischen Mainstream und zeigt im Rahmen von geld-, fiskal- und lohnpolitischen Maßnahmen ein durchgängiges alternatives wirtschaftspolitisches und -theoretisches Modell. Um die Unterschiede in den theoretischen Konzeptionen zwischen der Modellwelt des ökonomischen Mainstream und dem Postkeynesianismus zu verdeutlichen, widmet sich der Beitrag zunächst der historischen und theoretischen Genese des Postkeynesianismus. In der weiteren Folge werden die Stadien der globalen Finanzkrise, bis hin zur Verschuldungskrise skizziert und auf jeder Ebene, auf Basis der alternativen theoretischen Fundierung, Lösungsmöglichkeiten vorgestellt. Dabei werden auch die Probleme des Postkeynesianismus erläutert, als durchgängige und anwendbare Alternative wahrgenommen zu werden

    Variations on the Author

    “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

    In the 1990s numerous developed as well as underdeveloped economies suffered from banking crises after following the advice of financial market liberalization theory and liberalized the banking sector as well as the stock exchange. Despite of these evidences theoretical arguments of financial liberalization theorists are still undoubted and proposals for restructuring international financial markets to increase stability, act in the tradition of financial market liberalization. Aiming to analyse the causalities of financial market liberalization theory for developments on national stock exchanges and the impacts for economic growth this paper discusses the evolution of the Athens Stock Exchange as best case scenario

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    We 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
