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
Jordanes, the Battle of the Catalaunian Plains, and Constantinople
No full textIn his two works, the Romana, a history of the Roman people, and the Getica, a history of the Gothic people, the Illyrian historian Jordanes, whose modern reputation has started to improve, concludes in seemingly different, though in fact complementary, tones. There are clues about the seeming polarity of Jordanes’ respective endings in his detailed description of the Battle of the Catalaunian Plains in the Getica. This battle, replete with epic flavour and Vergilian allusions, contains three poignant points : battle ought to be fought in the open ; the emperor is ultimately responsible for going to war ; opportunities, especially military ones, ought to be seized. These views reflect contemporary (sixth century) concerns, especially amongst the Constantinopolitan elite, about the state of affairs in the Gothic war, evident, in part, in the works of Procopius and Count Marcellinus.Jordanès, la bataille des champs Catalauniques, et Constantinople.
Jordanès, historien d’origine illyrienne qui commence de nos jours à avoir meilleure réputation, donne à ses deux ouvrages, les Romana, une histoire du peuple romain, et les Getica, une histoire des Goths, des conclusions, en apparence, différentes, mais, dans les faits, complémentaires. C’est la description détaillée de la bataille des champs Catalauniques dans les Getica qui nous fournit un indice de l’apparente polarité des deux conclusions. Cette description de la bataille, livrée dans un style épique et plein d’allusions à Virgile, prend position sur trois points de manière saisissante : il faut combattre de front, il faut que la décision d’aller en guerre revienne finalement à l’empereur et il faut savoir saisir les occasions de faire la guerre. Ces points de vue reflètent les préoccupations contemporaines (VIe siècle), plus particulièrement au sein de l’élite constantinopolitaine, à propos de la guerre contre les Goths, comme l’attestent en partie les ouvrage de Procope et de Marcellin.Whately Conor.

No full textVariations 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
