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
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
La relation d’amour fraternel archaïque entre Leontes et Polixenes : hommage à Murray Schwartz
No full text« C’est un hérétique, celui qui met le feu,/Pas celle qu’on y fait brûler. » D’où vient cette « hérésie » évoquée par Paulina ? À partir des articles de Murray M. Schwartz (1973, 1975), cet article étudie « le complexe fraternel » entre Leontes et Polixenes comme modèle pour expliquer la colère inattendue de Leontes dans Le Conte d’hiver. Cette amitié précoce peut avoir été idéalisée à un point tel que son atteinte peut être vécue comme un retour au chaos ou l’intrusion cruelle d’un rival. Ce complexe, décrit par René Kaës, est beaucoup plus archaïque que le lien fraternel normal et que le conflit odipien. Il correspond à ce que Shakespeare nous enseigne dans cette pièce : les motions clivées et excessives d’amour et de haine, le dégoût de la sexualité, le vou de destruction de la filiation à la source, exprimé par Antigonus et le refoulement de leur rapport aux parents. Ce n’est qu’à travers une régression à une figure maternelle forte, jouée par Paulina, que les « frères » pourront accepter leur finitude et affronter leur propre mort dans la scène de la statue.“It is an heretic that makes the fire,/ Not she which burns in’t.” Where does this “heresy” mentioned by Paulina come from ? Starting from Murray Schwartz’s articles (1973, 1975), this paper studies the archaic brotherly complex described by René Kaës as a pattern explaining the unexpected rage of Leontes in The Winter’s Tale. This early friendship may have been so idealized that the least perturbation of it may be perceived as a return to a situation of chaos or to the most cruel rivalry. This archaic relationship, much more regressive than the customary “brotherly link” or the Odipal conflict, may explain the split violence of love and hate between the “brothers”, their disgust for sexuality, the radical wish of destruction of filiation itself at its source expressed by Antigonus and the repression of their relationship with their parents. Unless a certain regression to a strong mother-child relationship between Leontes and Paulina is effected, the “brothers” will not be able to accept their finitude and to face the issue of their own death in the statue scene
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
Freud et le théâtre
Get PDF1. Le rêve comme spectacle Nous connaissons cette analogie fondamentale que Freud établit entre le théâtre et cette « autre scène où le rêve se meut, cette autre scène, cet autre plateau scénique (Schauplatz), selon l’expression de Fechner, où se joue l’action du rêve et qui est différente de celle de la vie éveillée… ». C’est grâce à cette formule de Fechner que Freud a pu découvrir le secret de l’interprétation des rêves. Je souhaite attirer votre attention sur certains mécanismes en jeu da..
La violence sexuelle dans Mesure pour mesure
No full textIsabella est victime d’un chantage sexuel quand elle sollicite auprès d’Angelo la grâce de son frère. Cette contrainte psychique est une forme de viol. Stigmatisée, la victime peut avoir une réaction dominée par la honte, le silence, l’auto-dépréciation, voire le suicide comme Lucrèce. D’autres peuvent se venger directement comme Titus Andronicus et sa fille Lavinia. Dans Mesure pour mesure, écrite quelques douze années après cette première tragédie de vengeance, Isabella ose, Isabella ose protester publiquement contre son agresseur et réclamer, par la loi, justice. Shakespeare compare cette expérience traumatique à un arbre dont on ôte l’écorce. Au début, Isabella invoque une figure paternelle cruelle et déshumanisée, superficiellement incorporée. Ensuite, grâce au soutien patient du Moine-Duc, elle peut élaborer une figure paternelle introjectée, d’après le modèle proposé par les psychanalystes français Nicolas Abraham et Maria Torok. Ce soutien transférentiel permet à Isabella de résister à la stigmatisation des victimes de violence sexuelle.Isabella is a victim of sexual blackmail when she pleads for mercy with Angelo for her brother. Such psychic coercion is a form of rape. When she is thus stigmatized, the victim’s reaction is usually based upon shame, silence, self-depreciation and she may be driven to suicide like Lucrece. Some may revenge themselves directly, like Titus Andronicus and his daughter Lavinia. In Measure for Measure, written some twelve years later after this first revenge tragedy, Isabella dares to protest against her offender as she claims for law and justice. Shakespeare compares this traumatic experience to a tree whose bark has been peeled off. At first, Isabella invokes a cruel de-humanized father-figure, superficially incorporated. Later on, influenced by the patient support of the Duke-Monk, she may elaborate an introjected father-figure, according to the pattern of the French psychoanalysts Nicolas Abraham and Maria Torok. This transference support helps Isabella to resist the stigmatization of the victims of sexual violence
