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
Japan: 1750-2000
No full textThese two 9,000 word chapters on design in Japan c.1750-2000 were commissioned by the Bard Graduate Center’s comparative history of global design and decorative arts, a flagship initiative authored by recognised area experts and published by Yale University Press. The book’s remit offered an opportunity not only to recontextualise the history of Japanese design, but also to argue that design history must acknowledge economics, technology and social and political forces – not as background but as the key story, told through objects. The first chapter analyses primary visual, textual and object sources such as ‘The Illustrated Compendium of Clever Machines’ (Kiko zui, 1796) to demonstrate how eighteenth-century political systems and their regulations on movement and consumption created both status-specific categories of goods and a market economy that would ultimately challenge those systems in the mid-nineteenth century. The second chapter similarly works from primary sources – eg. government reports, prototypes, oral histories – to show how design in twentieth-century Japan was a local phenomenon that also reflected global conditions and tendencies in trade, manufacturing and education. The chapters preview the argument for Teasley’s forthcoming monograph, ‘Designing Modern Japan’ (Reaktion, 2014) and draw on research at public, university and corporate archives including the collections at Musashino Art University, at which Teasley had a research fellowship in 2009. Teasley’s project to provide a English-language history of modern Japan through its design industries has received funding from the Association of Asian Studies, the Design History Society, the Sasakawa Foundation and the British Academy. It has generated lecture and writing invitations in Europe, North America and Japan, including requests to serve as respondent to panels on Asian design history at the College Art Association (2009, 2011) and Association of Asian Studies (2012), and to author the Japanese entries for reference texts including the ‘Encyclopedia of Design’ (Berg, 2015)
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
