    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    ¿La resurrección del intelectual público? nuevos espacios de intervención pública y el intelectual colectivo

    No full text
    En este trabajo me sumo a los debates actuales sobre el papel del «intelectual público» en un mundo modelado por un resurgimiento del pensamiento binario y de viejos dualismos bajo nuevos disfraces. Partiendo de que algunos consideran que en el campo de la Geografía crítica están surgiendo «nuevos intelectuales públicos», que le dicen la verdad al poder y desafían silencios impuestos, analizaré esta temática más allá del contexto anglo-americano. Valiéndome del recuento de una conferencia dictada por el filósofo francés Bernard-Hhenri Lévy, en la Universidad de Ccalifornia (UCLclA) en abril del 2006, reflexionaré sobre las estrategias de actuación que se observan en muchos de los debates públicos actuales. Inspirado en Bourdieu, este trabajo continúa con la afirmación de que hay una reciente aparición de nuevos espacios públicos de intervención, en los que intelectuales colectivos actúan dentro de redes de análisis crítico que resisten la imposición de una ideología global neoliberal. Aunque algunos de estos espacios pueden comenzar como intentos en apariencia pequeños tales como el lanzamiento de una publicación crítica, una estación de radio independiente o sitio de Internet , es allí donde se hace evidente el florecimiento de las intervenciones de los intelectuales público

    Variations on the Author

    “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

    We 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
