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
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
Of nightmares and the ontology of place : planning the book
No full textThis Plateau is a series of emails about nightmares and the ontology of place. These emails were ostensibly about planning the book, something we had trouble envisaging. It includes the burst of writing that took place between July and October of '09, asking what this book might become, when all the while it was becoming
Beginning
No full textIn which we tell the reader how we four, the assemblage we have come to
know as JKSB, came to write this book. We introduce some of the methodic
(and non-methodic) practices we have taken up throughout the book, and
open up the multiple space of Deleuzian concepts that we work and play
with in this extended exploration of collaborative writing
Auto/fictioning (the) contemporary (in) human relations and psychotherapeutic processes
Get PDFThis writing inquiry presents an autofiction through which contemporary relationality and relationally-oriented psychotherapy are examined.
Fictioning is used as a method that allows experience to be worked through in an imaginary, virtual or speculative zone, in which new thought is possible, affecting through its relation though not directly acting upon, material reality.
Autofiction as a form of creative expression, enables articulation of an oscillating metamodern ‘structure of feeling’, which lends complexity to our understanding of contemporary intersubjectivity, becoming a valuable ontological and epistemological positioning for those concerned with relationality.
The author recognises the interplay of creative form and relational action that generates new thought, understanding and expression, thus residing at the core of the transformation that psychotherapy reaches-longingly toward. The thesis is moving ever closer to an artful, collaborative, creative-relational psychotherapy, that is future-oriented, sustainable and makes room for the more than human
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
The Porn factory: a feminist dystopian inquiry into porn (re)produced worlds
No full textA story is trying to form at the edges of knowing. There is no particular author.
There is no “one” here to tell the story. There is no “one” to know how the story
may end. This story takes the form of a Hop-on Hop-off Bus tour of a factory. The
bus has no human driver. It is driven purely by appetition.
This thesis is a production of the whole that takes a feminist new materialist lens to
(re)think subjectivity in the counselling room by opening up to the more-than
human and the role of inhuman forces. The inquiry draws heavily on the work of
Erin Manning and aims to foot-fall into a neurodiverse perspective towards its informing. The study begins in a relational field of affective tonality where inflection
emerges from coloured shadow. The researcher makes felt her appearance as a
conduit of expression for the milieu rather than speaking from her own-lived
experience. Through traversing spaces, the inquiry works to examine
pornography’s industrial processes and forces of technical subjugation and control
in contemporary digital pornographised worlds. The research examines the ethical
dilemmas of working with clients who present with issues around pornography and
follows lines of flight to avoid capitalist capture. The inquiry (re)imagines new
futures for those who have already inhabited the affective space of porn
(re)produced worlds. Finally, the inquiry yields and fades to black.
The research, open to the force of form, has emerged as a pseudo pornography
website produced collectively. This website is a minor activism which aims to enter
the pornographic networks. The writing, the part of the inquiry which tuned to
language, must be accessed through the website but can also be downloaded and
printed off without further exploration. The whole is not a unified whole and its
organs are left together and disparate
