    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

    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

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    We 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

    We 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

    Desarrollo de la industria siderúrgica y arquitectura de vanguardia del siglo XX en Chile: La Unidad departamental Acería CONOX y Colada Continua (1976), y Central de Alimentación y Casino (1973) en la usina de CAP-Huachipato, como ejemplos del paradigma brutalista.

    The Huachipato steel plant located in San Vicente Bay, Talcahuano, was set in motion in the mid-20th century as a state initiative (personified in CORFO), to create a national production center in the Bío-Bío area and to promote economic and social development, in response to the 1930 crisis and the Chillan earthquake, in 1939. Within the first decades of operation, the Compañía de Acero del Pacífico (CAP) implemented a series of expansion plans to improve and increase production, modernizing machinery and constructing buildings to accommodate both the new industrial processes and the service equipment that the workers would use. In this context, in the 1970s, two buildings of notable architectural quality were built: the Unidad Departamental Acería CONOX y Colada Continua, and the Central de Alimentación y Casino de Trabajadores. In this study, the information available in Revista AUCA (1979), where said projects are published, was collected, and later the characteristics of these buildings were analyzed, highlighting their values as architectural work -morphological, spatial, aesthetic, structural-, reviewing the theoretical foundations and the relationship with other key architectural works, to understand the concepts of “brutalism” and “mat building”. In summary, the results reflect that these works, on adapting to functions that are so different to each other, as the industrial production and workers’ facilities) are, reflect the modern paradigm of 1959’s X CIAM and the design criteria of the architectural avant-garde of the 1960’s, becoming both industrial heritage and architectural heritage of Chile.A usina siderúrgica Huachipato na baía de San Vicente, Talcahuano, foi lançada em meados do século 20 como uma iniciativa estatal (personificada em CORFO) para criar um centro de produção nacional na área do rio Bío-Bío e promover o desenvolvimento econômico e social como resposta à crise de 1930 e ao terremoto de Chillán, ocorrido em 1939. Nas primeiras décadas de operação, a Compañía de Acero del Pacífico (CAP) implementou uma série de planos de expansão para melhorar e aumentar a produção, modernizando máquinas e construindo edifícios para acomodar os novos processos industriais, bem como os equipamentos de serviço que os trabalhadores utilizariam. Nesse contexto, na década de 1970, foram construídas duas obras de notável qualidade arquitetônica: a Unidad departamental Acería CONOX y Colada Continua e a Central de Alimentación y Casino de trabajadores. No presente estudo foram recolhidas as informações disponíveis na Revista AUCA (1979), na qual foram publicados os respectivos projetos e, em seguida, foram analisadas as características destes edifícios, destacando os seus valores como obra de arquitetura: morfológicos, espaciais, estéticos, estruturais, revendo os fundamentos teóricos e a relação com outras obras arquitetônicas fundamentais para compreender os conceitos de "brutalismo" e "mat building". Em suma, os resultados refletem que essas obras, embora diferentes entre si, por se adaptarem a funções tão diferentes como a produção industrial e o equipamento dos trabalhadores, refletem o paradigma moderno do X CIAM de 1956 e os critérios de design da vanguarda arquitetônica dos anos sessenta, configurando-se, ao mesmo tempo, como patrimônio industrial e patrimônio arquitetônico do Chile.La siderúrgica Huachipato en la bahía de San Vicente, Talcahuano, se pone en marcha a mediados del siglo XX como iniciativa estatal (personificada en CORFO) para crear un centro de producción nacional en la zona del Biobío e impulsar el desarrollo económico y social, en respuesta a la crisis de 1930 y el terremoto de Chillan ocurrido en 1939. Dentro de las primeras décadas de funcionamiento, la Compañía de Acero del Pacífico (CAP) implementó una serie de planes de expansión para mejorar y aumentar la producción, modernizando maquinarias y construyendo edificaciones a fin de dar cabida tanto a los nuevos procesos industriales, como a los equipamientos de servicios que utilizarían los obreros. En este contexto, en la década de los 70, se construyeron dos obras de notable calidad arquitectónica: la Unidad Departamental de la Acería CONOX y Colada Continua, y la Central de Alimentación y Casino de trabajadores. En el estudio que aquí se presenta, se recabó la información disponible en Revista AUCA (1979), donde dichos proyectos fueron publicados, y luego se analizaron las características de estas edificaciones poniendo en relevancia sus valores como obra de arquitectura (morfológicos, espaciales, estéticos, estructurales) y revisando los fundamentos teóricos y la relación con otras obras de arquitectura claves para entender los conceptos de “brutalismo” y “mat building”. En síntesis, los resultados reflejan que estas obras, aunque disímiles entre sí, por adaptarse a funciones tan diferentes como la producción industrial y el equipamiento para obreros, recogen el paradigma moderno del X CIAM de 1956 y los criterios proyectuales de la vanguardia arquitectónica de los años sesenta, configurándose, a la vez, como patrimonio industrial y como patrimonio arquitectónico de Chile
