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
"La Chouette aveugle" de Sadegh Hedayat, un récit à la croisée des textes occidentaux
No full textLa Chouette aveugle, un récit d’abord publié en 1936, à Bombay, en Inde, puis en 1941 en Iran, à Téhéran, et traduite en français, en 1951, par Roger Lescot,est une œuvre singulière d’un auteur iranien, Sadegh Hedayat (1903-1951). C’est une nouvelle qui se présente sous la forme d’une longue confession faite par un narrateur anonyme, victime de cauchemars et d’hallucinations. Écrite durant un séjour effectué par cet écrivain en France entre 1926 et 1930, cette œuvre est surchargée d’emprunts,de réminiscences, et d’allusions à de multiples lectures littéraires, philosophiques,métaphysiques, religieuses et psychanalytiques. C’est un lieu de croisement d’influences diverses, orientales certes mais aussi, surtout, occidentales. Cet entrelacs minutieux fait de La Chouette aveugle une œuvre hybride, très élaborée, à la croisée de l’Orient et de l’Occident. Pour en cerner la singularité, on s’est fondé sur une approche qui a cherché à désenchevêtrer les références mythologiques qui en constituent la matière, à repérer les empreintes des modes orientalistes qui existaient à l’époque, entre les deux guerres, en France et en Europe, à dégager l’existence des modèles et des moules esthétiques, occidentaux, qui s’y imbriquent, à en analyser aussi l’inspiration nihiliste, marqué par la philosophie occidentale, et à en étudier le caractère surréaliste qui lui confère une originalité très particulière dans la littérature iranienneBlind Owl, a story first published in 1936 in Bombay, India, then in 1941 inIran, Tehran, and translated into French in 1951 by Roger Lescot, is a singular workof an Iranian author, Sadegh Hedayat (1903-1951). It's a new one that comes in the form of a long confession made by a nameless narrator, a victim of nightmares and hallucinations. Written during a stay by this writer in France between 1926 and 1930,this work is overloaded with debt, reminiscences and allusions to many literary readings, philosophical, metaphysical, religious and psychoanalytic. It is a place of intersection of diverse influences, certainly, but also Oriental, especially the West.This careful interweaving makes The Blind Owl a hybrid, very developed at thecrossroads of East and West. To identify the singularity, we relied on an approachthat sought to disentangle the mythological references which are material, to identifythe fingerprints of Orientalist patterns that existed at the time, between the wars,France and in Europe, to identify the existence of aesthetic models and molds,Western imbricate therein, to analyze also the inspiration nihilistic, marked byWestern philosophy, and to study the character that gives it a surrealist originality most unusual in Iranian literatur
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
Le rêve de la liberté dans « 2084. La fin du monde » (2015) de Boualem Sansal
Get PDFDer Artikel enthält Zusammenfassungen nur in Englisch.A dream, that of freedom, inspires Ati, the central character of 2084. The End of the World, a novel published in 2015, in France, by Boualem Sansal, an Algerian author. In this work, ‘the end of the world’ has taken place. The powers of the North have been wiped out. Only one country survives, the ‘Abistan’, a theocratic empire based on ‘Acceptance’, the religion of this entity. No deviance is tolerated. The title refers to George Orwell’s novel, 1984, published in 1949, in England. The subtitle suggests that all freedom has disappeared. One individual, however, Ati, began to glimpse the ‘mystery of freedom’. This dream lives in him now. How is it translated into this story by an irrepressible aspiration, by a feverish quest and a vain research?L'article contient uniquement les résumés en anglais
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
