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
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
Between childhood and adolescence – a seeing gaze onto children’s drawings
No full textDie Kinderzeichnung wird in diesem Artikel als ein Medium herangezogen, um die Zeit des Übergangs von der Kindheit zur Jugend zu verstehen. Die dokumentarische Methode, in ihrer Anwendung auf die bildliche Ausdrucksform, liefert dazu das Instrumentarium, um das, was uns die Zeichnungen zeigen, auch sehen und explizieren zu können.
Die exemplarische Darstellung einer Zeichnung (Fernseher in der Wüste) führt die Leserinnen und Leser entlang der Arbeitsschritte der dokumentarischen Bildinterpretation zur Rekonstruktion des Dokumentsinns der Zeichnung. Im vorliegenden Fall ist das die Auseinandersetzung der Bildnerin mit den altersspezifischen Entwicklungsaufgaben: den Herausforderungen mit dem reifenden Körper, den gesellschaftlichen Erwartungen und der Entfaltung einer für sie stimmigen (Geschlechts-) Identität am Übergang von der Kindheit zur Jugend.This article sees children’s drawings as a medium to understand the time of transition from childhood to adolescence. The documentary method and its application to children’s drawings provide the means to actually see and explicate what the drawings show.
The example of a drawing (TV in the desert) outlines the documentary process steps to reconstruct the document’s inherent meaning. In the present case it is the creator’s inner engagement with age-specific developmental tasks: the challenges of a maturing body, societal expectations and the unfolding of a consistent (gender-) identity during the transition from childhood to adolescence

No full textAppropriate 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

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
