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
DE PERSONAGENS NEGRAS À AUTORIA NEGRA NO CONTO MINEIRO
Full text linkAbstract: This paper outlines the course of blacks in the short story: as a character, under a distanced perspective, and as an author, in a compromise that modifies the way of representation. The purpose ofthis trajectory is to trace the first short story of he Minas Gerais on blacks and the first as Afro-Brazilian literature, seeking to observe the modifications originating from the point of view and identification ofblack authorship as the subject of their own discourse and their actions. As short story characters, blacks appeared in 1871 in the book of Bernardo Guimarães, and Nelson Coelho de Senna, at the beginning of the Brazilian Republican century. The short story of black authors had as precursor Carolina Maria de Jesus, followed by other authors. Even more, short story's authors that have written for children and youth are also presented: Rogério Andrade Barbosa, Jussara Santos, Edimilson deAlmeida Pereira, Patrícia Santana, Cidinha da Silva, Madu Costa, Édimo de Almeida Pereira, whose works we divide between the genres "short story book" and "retelling". We discuss the ways of being/seeing of women writers and men writers from their histories, in search--in the literary way--of their origins, sometimes in re-configuration of their ways of seeing and being, but all starting from their own procedures of subjectivation.Keywords: Short Story; Character; Black authorship; Representation; Representativity.Resumo: Este trabalho busca traçar o percurso do negro no conto mineiro: da personagem, sob um olhar distanciado, à autoria, em um compromisso que modifica a representação. Objetivamos nessatrajeitória perfazer o caminho pelos primeiros contos das Minas Gerais sobre o negro e os primeiros como literatura negra, buscando observar as modificações oriundas do ponto de vista e identificação da autoria negra como sujeito de seu próprio discurso e de suas ações. Como personagens de contos, os negros apareceram em 1871 nos contos de Bernardo Guimarães e de Nelson Coelho de Senna, no início do século republicano. O conto mineiro de autoria negra teve como precursora Carolina Mariade Jesus, seguida de outros autores, como Luís Cláudio Lawa, Waldemar Euzébio Pereira, Conceição Evaristo, Jorge Dikamba. São ainda apresentados autores do conto mineiro infantil e juvenil, comoRogério Andrade Barbosa, Jussara Santos, Edimilson de Almeida Pereira, Patrícia Santana, Cidinha da Silva, Madu Costa, Édimo de Almeida Pereira, cujas obras dividimos entre os gêneros "livro-conto" e"reconto". Discutimos os modos de ser/ver das escritoras e escritores a partir de suas histórias, em busca de suas origens, às vezes em reconfiguração de suas maneiras de ver e de ser, porém todos partindo de seus próprios procedimentos de subjetivação.Palavras-chave: Conto mineiro; Personagem; Autoria negra; Representação; Representatividad
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
Impressões e arquivos: notas sobre-vida, literatura e vida literária em Quarto de despejo, de Carolina Maria de Jesus
Full text linkIn this essay, we propose a critique of literary archives, reflecting, above all, on the archive of Carolina Maria de Jesus. Our first motivation comes from reading the author's Quarto de despejo (1960); book that is her debut in literature, and contemplated her notebooks of memories, an edition that had, in a first hour reception, a documentary focus, in the aspects of the social environment in which she lived, and about which she had recorded her memories. Regarding the release of this book, that interest in peripheral places has passed. In addition of this, a so-called Brazilian literary tradition that does badly receive a memoir writing, that depend of the author, Carolina had not managed, in life, to have a stable place, and to be recognized for the quality of her writing, in the profession of writer. We consider reflecting on the writer's archive, thinking about the performance path towards custodian institutions, which are, above all, for the conservation of archives of traditional writers; displacement of her literary text, previously read as documentary, for the collection documents, which are potentially literature to be edited and / or reedited, therefore, received and possibly rethought in other criticisms. We observe the path from the archive that is “the poet's brain”, to her literary “impressions”, to which the book analyzed here is quite representative, reinforced the impressions about life, literature, literary life and "survival", this in a Deridian sense, to which we will connect to the perspective of “livature”, an act / term elaborated by the critical writer Conceição Evaristo. For this essay, we call, additionally, Foucault, Derrida, Bhabha, without whom we would not be able to question the forms and contents of the archives of coloniality, these also contributing to the formation of the idea of nation, which is represented in the nation's archives, either by the presence of genius, the hero, or by the absence of what is considered popular, as antagonist, as marginal.Neste ensaio, propomos uma crítica sobre arquivos literários, refletindo, sobretudo o arquivo da Carolina Maria de Jesus. Nossa motivação primeira advém da leitura de Quarto de despejo (1960), da autora; livro que é sua estreia na literatura e contemplou seus cadernos de memórias, edição que teve, numa recepção de primeira hora, foco documental nos aspectos do ambiente social no qual ela vivia e sobre o qual ela registrara suas memórias. Passado esse interesse sobre os lugares periféricos, relacionando também a uma dita tradição literária brasileira que não recebe bem a escrita diarística que não a de um sujeito mesmo, a autora não conseguira, em vida, um lugar estável e de reconhecimento pela qualidade de sua escrita, na profissão de escritora. Cogitamos refletir sobre o arquivo da escritora, pensando o trânsito performático rumo às instituições custodiadoras, estas que são, sobretudo, de conservação de arquivos de escritores da tradição; deslocamento do texto literário dela, lido antes como documental, para os documentos de acervo, que são literatura em potência de ser editada e/ou reeditada, portanto, recebida e possivelmente repensada em outras críticas. Observamos o caminho desde o arquivo que é “cérebro do poeta”, às suas “impressões” literárias, a que o livro aqui analisado é bastante representativo, reforçadas as impressões sobre a vida, a literatura, a vida literária e a “sobrevida”, esta em senso derridiano, ao que conectaremos à perspectiva de “escrevivência de nós”, ato/termo elaborado pela escritora crítica Conceição Evaristo. Para este ensaio, convocamos, além dela, Foucault, Derrida, Bhabha, sem os quais não poderíamos questionar as formas e os conteúdos dos arquivos da colonialidade, estes também contribuidores para a formação da ideia de nação, a qual está representada nos arquivos da nação, seja pela presença do gênio, do herói, seja pela ausência do que é posto como popular, como antagonista, como marginal
