Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Aliénation des collections : quand les artistes s’invitent aux débats
No full textLes collections muséales et l’aliénabilité Si la recherche sur les objets est considérée fondamentale dans les musées (Burcaw, 1983 : 47), l’aliénabilité d’objets de collection – soit l’étude des conditions de leur cessibilité – est un thème de recherche marginalisé en muséologie. Alors que de tout temps, les musées ont effectué quelques transactions avec certains de leurs objets, ces opérations rarement affichées et rarement commentées sont longtemps restées ignorées (Miller, 1985 : 289).

Variations on the Author
Full text link“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

No full textLa présente étude traite de l’évolution des relations entre les musées et les
Autochtones telle que médiatisée par la revue Muse créée par l’Association
des musées canadiens en 1983. L’analyse systématique des articles portant sur les
questions autochtones et publiés entre 1983 et 2002 par ce média, qui a participé à
la circulation d’idées et d’informations entre les muséologues canadiens, permet
d’examiner l’évolution des mentalités et des actions du milieu muséal au regard de
la gestion des collections autochtones et des rapatriements sur vingt ans. Cette
réflexion critique rend compte des multiples enjeux que pose la gestion des
collections d’objets autochtones dans les musées, soit la collecte, la conservation,
la recherche, la médiation, l’exposition, l’accessibilité et le rapatriement
d’objets autochtones. Il en résulte un article chargé d’exemples sur les efforts et
limites des engagements des muséologues canadiens vis-à-vis des revendications
patrimoniales autochtones.This article examines the evolution of the relations between Canadian
museums and Indigenous peoples through the perspective of articles
published by the Canadian Museums Association in its journal, Muse, launched in
1983. Muse has supported the development and the circulation of ideas amongst
Canadian museologists. We undertake a systematic review of the content addressing
Indigenous issues published in the journal between 1983 and 2002. This case study
aims to depict the evolution of the mindset and the initiatives within the field
regarding the management of Indigenous collections and Indigenous repatriation
demands over a period of 20 years. We focus on the multiple levels of managing
Indigenous collections in museums: collecting, preserving, studying, exhibiting,
sharing access and repatriating objects. It results in an article filled
with examples of the endeavours and limits of Canadian museum professionals’
propositions and actions in favor of the empowerment of Indigenous communities
toward their heritage.Este estudio examina la evolución de las relaciones entre los museos y
los pueblos indígenas a través de la revista Muse, creada por la Asociación de
Museos Canadienses en 1983. El análisis sistemático de los artículos sobre temas
indígenas publicados entre 1983 y 2002 por este medio, que contribuyó a la
circulación de ideas e información entre los museólogos canadienses, permite
examinar la evolución de las actitudes y acciones de la comunidad museística con
respecto a la gestión de las colecciones indígenas y las repatriaciones en un
período de veinte años. Esta reflexión crítica tiene en cuenta las múltiples
cuestiones que plantea la gestión de las colecciones indígenas en los museos, como
la adquisición, la conservación, la investigación, la mediación, la exposición, la
accesibilidad y la repatriación de objetos indígenas. El resultado es un
artículo lleno de ejemplos de los esfuerzos y las limitaciones del compromiso de los
museólogos canadienses con las reivindicaciones

Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe 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 linkWe 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 textWe 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
