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
Examining the ethnoreligious dimension of conflicts in Nigeria
Get PDFGewaltsame Konflikte sind nach wie vor ein drängendes Problem in Nigeria. Da die nigerianische Bevölkerung entlang ethnischer und religiöser Linien polarisiert ist, werden Konflikte, die nichts mit ethnischer Zugehörigkeit und Religion zu tun haben, aufgrund der ethnischen und religiösen Identitäten der Konfliktakteure oft ethnoreligiös. Dadurch werden die Konflikte oft gewalttätiger und unlösbarer. Obwohl einige Studien über die ethnisch-religiöse Dimension von Gewaltkonflikten in Nigeria durchgeführt wurden, sind die meisten von ihnen qualitativ. Generell mangelt es an quantitativen Studien, die die ethnoreligiöse Dimension von Gewaltkonflikten in Nigeria untersuchen. In dieser Dissertation verwende ich große N-Erhebungsdaten und ökonometrische Techniken, um diese Lücke zu schließen. Ich konzentriere mich speziell auf zwei aktuelle Konflikte in Nigeria, nämlich den Sezessionskonflikt in der Ostregion Nigerias und die Gewalt zwischen nomadischen Hirten und ansässigen Gemeinschaften (insbesondere denjenigen, die Ackerbau betreiben) um Land und Wasserressourcen. Die drei empirischen Kapitel dieser Dissertation zeigen, dass Ethnizität und Religion für das Verständnis der gegenwärtigen Konflikte in Nigeria von entscheidender Bedeutung sind. Die Themen Ethnizität und Religion sind zwar umstritten, aber ihre Vernachlässigung bei der Analyse von Gewaltkonflikten verhindert ein ganzheitliches Verständnis des Problems. Lösungen können manchmal dort gefunden werden, wo wir am wenigsten bereit sind zu suchen.Violent conflicts remain a nagging problem in Nigeria. Because Nigeria’s population is polarized along ethnic and religious lines, conflicts that have nothing to do with ethnicity and religion often turn ethnoreligious owing to the ethnic and religious identities of the conflict actors. This often makes conflicts more violent and intractable. Although some studies have been conducted on the ethnoreligious dimension of violent conflicts in Nigeria, most of them are qualitative. There is generally a dearth of quantitative studies examining the ethnoreligious dimension of violent conflicts in Nigeria. In this dissertation, I use large-N survey data and econometric techniques to fill this gap. I focus specifically on two contemporary conflicts in Nigeria—i.e., the secessionist conflict in Nigeria’s Eastern Region and the intercommunal violence between nomadic pastoralists and resident communities (especially those engaged in crop cultivation) over land and water resources. The three empirical chapters in this dissertation show that ethnicity and religion are crucial in understanding contemporary conflicts in Nigeria. While the topics of ethnicity and religion are contentious, their neglect in the analysis of violent conflicts prevents a holistic understanding of the problem. Solutions can sometimes be found in the places where we are least willing to look
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
