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
The Value and Arrangement of Private Records in Modern Japan: the Records of Tamura Akira, an Urban Planner
Get PDFpdf本稿では、1968（昭和43）年から1981（昭和56）年にかけて横浜市の企画調整局長や技監を務めた田村明の個人文書が持つ歴史的価値を明らかにし、その編成のあり方を検討する。田村は革新市政期の横浜市をブレーンとして支えた人物であり、先進的な都市政策を立案して現在の横浜の都市構造の礎を築いた都市計画の専門家である。地方自治体の政治過程に参画した専門家の個人文書は、公文書の内容からは明らかにすることができない
政策立案の背景を現在に伝える。特に都市計画家の個人文書には公的記録の不足を補う歴史資料としての価値が認められる。田村明個人が作成・収受・整理し、自宅で保管していた文書群は彼の没後、「田村明資料」として横浜市史資料室に寄贈された。本稿では同資料の構造分析を行い、彼が生涯にわたって展開した機能の連続性と組織性を明らかにした。その上で「都市プランナー」、「家族」、「個人」という3 つのシリーズを設定し、同資料を編成した。さらに田村の経歴を反映させたサブシリーズと同資料に含まれる文書の内容に基づいたサブシリーズをシリーズ「都市プランナー」の下に並置させた。先行研究の編成論を踏まえながら、アーカイブズの内的秩序の構成理論に基づき提示した新しい編成手法は他の個人文書の編成にも応用することが可能である。
This paper aims at elucidating the historical value and arrangement process of a collection of private records produced by Tamura Akira (1926-2010), a professional urban planner who served as the head of the planning and coordination bureau as well as chief engineer for City of Yokohama from 1968 to 1981. In those years when the reformist was the mayor, Tamura served as the brains behind Yokohama’s development, offering progressive proposals relating to urban planning, and setting the groundwork for the modern-day urban structure of Yokohama. Participating as he did in the political process of local government, Tamura’s private records give us a glimpse into the background of certain policymaking—information which is not generally included in public records. Tamura’s records—what are now referred to collectively as the Tamura Akira Documents—which were originally produced, collected, and organized in his own house, were donated to City of Yokohama Municipal Archives Reference Room after his death. This paper aims at analyzing the general contents of these records, as well as the continuity and organizational potential of Tamura’s works. I have organized his records into three series, depending on their content: there are records about his profession, about his family life, and about his personal life. In Addition, I have provided the first series with sub-series which depend on his career and interest. While consulting previous research into the process of document arrangement, I present here a new method, based on archival theory, of arranging private records in general.departmental bulletin pape
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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
