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
Review of: Insa Eschebach, Regina Mühlhäuser (Hg.): Krieg und Geschlecht. Sexuelle Gewalt im Krieg und Sex-Zwangsarbeit in NS-Konzentrationslagern. Berlin: Metropol Verlag 2008.
No full textIn den letzten Jahren sind die Auseinandersetzung mit den Akteuren und Funktionen von Gewalt und auch die Forschungen und Deutungsweisen zu sexueller Gewalt forciert worden. Der Tagungsband versammelt neue Forschungsbeiträge und Interpretationsmuster zu sexueller Gewalt im Krieg und Sex-Zwangsarbeit in NS-Konzentrationslagern, um erstens den aktuellen Stand der Forschung aufzuzeigen und zweitens nach künftigen Perspektiven zu fragen. Die Aufsätze informieren hervorragend über aktuelle Fragen und Debatten zu diesen Themen.In recent years, the conflict with protagonists of and functions of violence has accelerated, as has research on and interpretation of sexual violence. The conference volume collects new contributions to research on and interpretive patterns of sexual violence in war and in sexual forced labor in National Socialist concentration camps, in order first to depict the current state of research and second to look for future perspectives. The brilliant essays inform readers on the current questions and debates on these topics
Review of: Katharina Karcher: Sisters in Arms. Militant Feminisms in the Federal Republic of Germany since 1968. Oxford u.a.: Berghahn Books 2017.

“Different horror, same hell”
No full textIm vorliegenden Band wird der Themenkomplex „Jüdische Frauen im nationalsozialistischen Lagersystem“ mit Hilfe unterschiedlicher theoretischer Ansätze in den Blick genommen. Es finden sich zum einen Beiträge zu der ersten Phase des Konzentrationslagers Moringen (Jane Caplan), zu jüdischen Frauen in Ravensbrück (Linde Apel, Hanna Herzog und Adi Efrat), in Auschwitz (Na’ama Shik), in Außenlagern (Irmgard Seidel, Hans Ellger), in Transnistrien (Ronit Lentin) und in Theresienstadt (Anna Hájková). Zum anderen wird auch die Verarbeitung des Erlebten in der Nachkriegszeit (Christa Schikorra und Sabine Kittel) thematisiert. Mit diesem Band gelingt es der Herausgeberin Gisela Bock, einen Überblick über die Bedeutung der Kategorie Geschlecht für das Leben und Überleben im Konzentrationslager zu geben. Darüber hinaus werden unterschiedliche methodische Zugänge zum Umgang mit den Quellen aufgezeigt.The volume at hand examines the topic of “Jewish women in the National Socialist camp system” with the help of differing theoretical points of departure. It contains, for example, contributions on the early phase of the concentration camp Moringen (Jane Caplan), on Jewish women in Ravensbrück (Linde Apel, Hanna Herzog, and Adi Efrat), in Auschwitz (Na’ama Shik), and in Theresienstadt (Anna Hájková). Additionally, the contributions attend to the experiences of the survivors in the post war period (Christa Schikorra and Sabine Kittel). Editor Gisela Bock manages to present with this volume a survey of the meaning of the category gender for life and survival in the concentration camps. In addition, the collection presents different methodological avenues of approach to the source material
