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
Techniques for analysing Late Cenozoic river terrace sequences
Get PDFThis special edition presents a thematic set of eight papers
examining field survey, remote sensing, and dating techniques used
to analyse and interpret river terrace sequences. Most river systems
from around the world have terrace landforms preserved at different
altitudes along their valley sides. These landform sequences commonly
span the Late Cenozoic encompassing hundreds of thousands
to millions of years, providing an archive of long term fluvial
landscape development and its driving mechanisms (Bridgland and
Westaway, 2008a; Gibbard and Lewin, 2009; Westaway et al., 2009).
River terrace sequences are an increasingly popular focus of earth
science research (Vandenberghe et al., 2010). Whilst many collections
of river terrace sequence research papers have primarily considered
the environmental significance of such records (e.g. Vandenberghe
and Maddy, 2000; 2001) less attention has been paid to the
techniques used to collect the data. Thus, the purpose of this special
issue is to bring together a set of research papers that demonstrate the
multidisciplinary nature of river terrace sequence research. The
special edition is also linked to two other research papers (Stokes et
al., 2012; Veldkamp et al., 2012) that were incorrectly published as
part of the normal research paper editions of Geomorphology.
This editorial firstly provides an overview of river terrace
sequence research providing definitions and explanations of key
aspects of river terrace sequence formation. An overview of the key
research groups that have been studying river terrace sequences in
recent years is then provided. Finally, an introduction to the principal
techniques used for river terrace sequence research is given, with
brief overviews of the papers that form and are linked to this special
issue
Kâr-ı nev: Elongation and elaboration in recordings of a Turkish classic
No full textIn this chapter, the author describes the elongation and the elaboration of a vocal composition during the twentieth century, the Kar-i nev in the makam rast by the renowned composer Ismail Dede Efendi. The kar-i nev is a type of kar, one of the oldest vocal forms in Turkish music. Mentioned as "is" in the Babur Nameh, the kar can be found in Persian and Turkish sources, in both instances the genre being considered a long and a serious piece. The author argues that the literate transmission of the kar-i nev was responsible for a distinctive evolutionary tendency, one in which elongation was not accompanied by elaboration. The kar-i nev is a unique variant of the kar genre. Like the kar, the work is idiosyncratic with respect to poetic form and musical setting. The musical structure of the kar-i nev was indeed new
