    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Full text link
    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

    Full text link
    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

    Full text link
    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

    koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist

    No full text
    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

    No full text
    Giuseppe de Dominicis de Rossi is a forgotten Neapolitan master, dancer and composer; his profile is going to become more definite thanks to a little dossier of twenty-five documents, saved in Neaple’s State Archive. Here, it is possibile to find the last part of his life and his career at San Carlo Theatre’s Royal Ballet School, with his continuous demands to teach there. He writes about many difficulties and didactic challenges, to prove his value as a dance master. He has travelled in different countries and has created ballets in Europe, bringing in Naples his international experience, especially from Paris. This paper aims to give a documentary contribution with presentation and transcription of these twenty-five documents; here it is possible to find interesting references with the didactic method of de Rossi.Giuseppe de Dominicis de Rossi est un maître et chorégraphe napolitain à ce jour peu connu, dont la figure commence à se préciser avec des résultats intéressants grâce aux documents des Archives d’État de Naples. Un petit dossier de vingt-cinq documents nous permet de dessiner son profil et son activité: le retour à Naples de Paris et les demandes insistantes pour entrer dans le corps enseignant des Écoles Royales de danse. On y trouve également des références aux difficultés rencontrées avec les collègues français et aussi aux défis didactiques qu’il se lance avec confiance pour démontrer sa valeur de maître qui avait beaucoup voyagé et créé, se plongeant dans des traditions différentes. Cette découverte offre une synthèse des contenus et des transcriptions d’un modeste mais riche ensemble de documents, qui couvre les dernières années de la carrière de de Rossi, avec une attention particulière portée à sa méthodologie d’enseignement.Giuseppe de Dominicis de Rossi è maestro e coreografo napoletano ad oggi semiobliato, la cui figura inizia a delinearsi con esiti interessanti grazie ai documenti dell’Archivio di Stato di Napoli. Un piccolo dossier di venticinque documenti ci permette di inquadrare il suo profilo e la sua attività: il rientro a Napoli da Parigi e le insistenti richieste per entrare a far parte del corpo insegnanti delle Reali Scuole di ballo. Non mancano riferimenti alle difficoltà incontrate rispetto ai colleghi francesi e alle sfide didattiche nelle quali si lancia con sicurezza, per dimostrare il proprio valore di maestro che aveva molto viaggiato e creato, immergendosi in tradizioni diverse. Questo contributo si profila essenzialmente come apporto "documentario", poiché dà una sintesi contenutistica e le trascrizioni di un piccolo ma importante nucleo che abbraccia gli ultimi anni della carriera di de Rossi, con particolare attenzione rivolta alla sua metodologia di insegnamento
