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

No full textVariations 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
Večjezični spomin migracije - Participativni projekt ustne zgodovine v Avstriji
Get PDFThe article lays out the method of the participatory Oral History project “Multilingual Memory of Migration” against the political background of an unacknowledged Austrian migration history and the political paradigm of monolingualism. The participatory concept engages students in a research process of Austrian migration history, addressing especially (but not exclusively) students with an own migration and multilingual background to conduct intergenerational biographical interviews. By benefitting from the students’ language skills and community outreach, the project aims at creating a contribution to a national “archive of migration” as such not institu–tionalized in Austria.V članku je predstavljena participativna metoda, ki smo jo razvili v okviru projekta "Večjezični spomin migracije" v luči političnega ozadja nepriznane avstrijske migracijske zgodovine in politične paradigme enojezičnosti. Participativni koncept vključuje dijake v raziskovalni proces avstrijske migracijske zgodovine, pri čemer nagovarja zlasti (vendar ne izključno) dijake z lastnim migracijskim in večjezičnim ozadjem, ki v okviru projekta izvajajo medgeneracijske biografske intervjuje. Namen projekta je na podlagi jezikovnih spretnosti učencev in stikov s skupnostjo ustvariti prispevek k nacionalnemu "arhivu migracij", ki kot tak v Avstriji ni institucionaliziran
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
Faek Rasul: Memories of Political Violence Transformed in the Materials of Painting
Get PDFThis article focuses on the artistic work of the Kurdish-Austrian, Iraqi-born painter Faek Rasul within a biographical context. Belonging to a clandestine Kurdish political organization, Rasul was imprisoned in 1980, tortured, and lost many friends and fellow prisoners to execution. He escaped from Iraq to Iran and finally came to Austria in 1987, where he artistically elaborated his memory of the atrocities he and his companions suffered in a process of constant transformation over four decades. Based on extended interviews, the article follows Rasul’s biography and trajectory of memory after fleeing and settling in Austria. The course of memory is differentiated along intertwining aspects of involuntary, intrusive memory and deliberate, active memory. Active memory is explored in different settings. They comprise the artistic work process, in which arts and crafts materials are imbued with specific meanings, as well as former sites of sufferance in Iraq, where Rasul recollected traces of victims that again became part of his art.
Faek Rasul: Erinnerungen an politische Gewalt, transformiert in den Materialien der Malerei
Der Artikel untersucht das künstlerische Werk des kurdisch-österreichischen, im Irak geborenen Künstlers Faek Rasul im biografischen Kontext. Rasul wurde 1980 als Mitglied einer klandestinen kurdischen Organisation verhaftet, gefoltert und erlebte die Misshandlung und Exekution zahlreicher Freunde und Mithäftlinge. Nach seiner Freilassung floh er in den Iran und gelangte schließlich 1987 nach Österreich, wo er seine Erinnerungen an die Gräuel, die er erlitt und bezeugte, in einem Prozess konstanter Transformation über vier Jahrzehnte künstlerisch bearbeitete. Auf Grundlage mehrstündiger Interviews folgt der Artikel Rasuls Biografie und dem Erinnerungsprozess nach seiner Flucht und nachdem er sich in Österreich niederließ. Die Gedächtnisvorgänge werden nach Aspekten der unwillkürlichen, traumatischen Erinnerung (intrusive memory) und nach bewussten, aktiven Erinnerungsakten analysiert. Aktive Erinnerung wird in unterschiedlichen Settings untersucht: im künstlerischen Arbeitsprozess, in dem die Materialien der Malerei mit spezifischen Bedeutungen verknüpft werden; und im Zuge der Rückkehr zu Orten des Grauens im Irak, wo Rasul Spuren von Opfern dokumentierte, die er wiederum künstlerisch verarbeitete.

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
