Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe 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
No full textWe 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

Diderot's revolutionary stoicism in the Essai sur Seneque compared to his contributions to the Histoire des deux Indes. [Le stoicisme revolutionnaire de Diderot dans l'Essai sur Senèque par rapport a' la Contribution a' l'Histoire des deux Indes]
No full textDiderot's later philosophical reflection concentrated on politics and physiology. The old philosopher's interest in an anthropology founded on medicine instead of metaphysics increased with his scientific reading, while his ideas on politics and the civil constitution became more radical and anti-tyrannical after his visit to Russia. The two versions of the Essai sur Sénèque (1778 and 1782) and the changes in his translations of Seneca reveal his secret aim of attacking all forms of authority or despotic power that infringe society's rights. Diderot replaces the classical conception of" lèse-majesté " with the notion of the violation of human rights and the resistance of the subject. While this aim remains hidden in the Essai, in his contributions to Raynal's Histoire des deux Indes reveal a transformation of Stoic elitism into an openly antidespotic philosophy. Diderot comes out openly against " the natural right to command " and extends the application of Stoic philosophical principles to the whole human race. This is one of the origins of the modern use of Roman thought by the revolutionaries of 1789
