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
Utopian fiction and Anthropological Modernity : Elaboring a figure of man in "L'histoire des Sévarambes" by Denis Veiras (1676-1678), "Histoire de Calejava" by Claude Gilbert (1700) and "Voyages et aventures de Jacques Massé" by Simon Tyssot de Patot (1710).
No full textCe travail appréhende le corpus des romans utopiques dits classiques (1676-1710), en articulant trois démarches souvent dissociées. La première concerne leur apport idéologique dans le contexte d'une période de crise profonde de la pensée et s'interroge sur la notion problématique de modernité. La seconde s'attache à la constitution spécifique d'un univers fictionnel qui confronte deux mondes, le monde européen et le monde utopique, en recourant à des conceptions contemporaines de la fiction comme « monde possible » et comme « version du monde ». La dernière réfléchit l'inscription paradoxale des romans, entre perpétuation et subversion, dans la tradition philosophique et morale classique, et notamment les formes intertextuelles de cette inscription. Des ces options, découle un choix thématique : l'analyse se penche plus spécifiquement sur la vision anthropologique à l'œuvre dans les textes. Les textes projettent en effet dans un monde alternatif une représentation de l'homme faite de schèmes conceptuels et figuratifs qui sont issus de leur univers culturel et philosophique, mais qui sont agencés, recontextualisés et transformés, de manière à participer de déplacements importants, qui seront consolidés par les Lumières triomphantes du second XVIIIe siècle.The present work focuses on the corpus of so-called “classical” utopian novels (1676-1710), combining three approaches, which are often used separately. The first method deals with their ideological dimension, within the context of a deep crisis in thought, and questions the problematic notion of modernity. The second method tackles the specific constitution of a fictional world, confronting two worlds – the European world and the utopian world –, by resorting to contemporary notions of fiction as “possible world” and as “version of the world”. The third method reflects on the paradoxical inscription of the novels within the classical philosophical and moral tradition, which it perpetuates or subverts, and focuses notably on the intertextual forms of this inscription. These options result in a thematic choice: the analysis focuses more specifically on the anthropological vision at work in the texts. The texts project, in an alternative world, a representation of man composed of figurative and conceptual patterns, which originate from their cultural and philosophical backgrounds, but which are recontextualized, organized and transformed, so as to partake of important displacements, which will consolidate in the triumphant Enlightenment, in the second half o the 18th century. Although modernity stems from a self-creating movement of rupture, in order to postulate a better world, it remains dependent on the old world it attempts to do away with. Classical utopias provide an exemplary laboratory of modernity, by textually actualizing the operations which embody modernity's dynamics, as well as some of its tensions, notably regarding the use of the notion of nature

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
Paradoxes et enjeux de la représentation de la violence dans des fictions utopiques dites classiques
No full textLes historiens de l’utopie littéraire placent L’Histoire des Sévarambes de Denis Veiras, publiée en 1678, à l’ouverture d’une série de romans utopiques parus sous le règne de Louis XIV, où ils intègrent ensuite l’Histoire de Calejava de Claude Gilbert (1700) et les Voyages et aventures de Jacques Massé de Simon Tyssot de Patot (1710). Substituant à la cité idéale allégorique de la tradition utopique héritée de Thomas More le récit vraisemblable d’un voyage en terre d’utopie, ces œuvres inaugu..
