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
Роль большевистских библиотек в подготовке революции. (К 100-летию советского библиотечного дела). Статья первая. Состояние изученности вопроса
Get PDFThe author presents the series of historical articles. The author refers to many sources to prove that the before-Revolution Bolsheviks’ propaganda was carried out via legal and illegal party libraries that served the strongholds for Bolsheviks. The author reviews Communist party and library scientific literature on the issue for the 100-year period. The first article is to demonstrate historical and theoretical significance of the reviewed issues. During the first Soviet years they were investigated by the prominent Communist party and Soviet political figures outstanding, attempted to characterize Lenin’s attitude towards library services.Автор представляет серию исторических статей. Основная их мысль состоит в обоснованном ссылками на первоисточники утверждении, что дореволюционная пропагандистская работа большевиков среди населения проводилась главным образом посредством легальных и нелегальных партийных библиотек, которые служили им опорными базами деятельности. Проанализирована советская партийная и библиотековедческая литература по этому вопросу за сто лет, предшествовавших данному моменту. В первой статье показано историко-теоретическое значение поднятого вопроса. Начало его изучения относится к первым годам советской власти и связано прежде всего с именами крупных деятелей Коммунистической партии и Советского государства, в особенности Л. Д. Троцкого, М. И. Калинина, Н. К. Крупской, которые освещали отношение В. И. Ленина к вопросам библиотечного строительства
Российская государственная библиотека по народному просвещению: реализованный проект В. И. Чарнолуского
Get PDFAs a contribution to the story of life and activities of Vladimir I. Charnolusky, a prominent pedagogue and bibliographer, the author reviews the successful idea by Charnolusky, namely establishing the all-Russian library at the People’s Commissariat of Education to meet the demands of public education. The author provides data on the library’s collection, staff and head - E. F. Proskuryakova, and the difficult and not so long operation of the Library for Public Education.В развитие темы о жизни и деятельности видного педагога и библиографа В. И. Чарнолуского* освещена успешная реализация его идеи создать при Наркомпросе библиотеку всероссийского масштаба, специализирующуюся на обслуживании потребностей народного образования. Рассказано о её деятельности, о непростой и непродолжительной работе Российской государственной библиотеки по народному просвещению. Приведены сведения о составе её фонда, штате и деятельности руководителя - Е. Ф. Проскуряковой
Роль большевистских библиотек в подготовке революции. (К 100-летию советского библиотечного дела) Статья вторая. Организация деятельности легальных партийных библиотек
Get PDFThe author continues on the role of RSDLP (Вolsheviks) libraries in preparing the revolution in Russia (see Scientific and Technical Libraries. - 2017. - Issue 6. - P. 100-110) and examines V. Lenin’s view of the libraries’ role in the revolutionary struggle. The author refers to historical sources to suggest that libraries played important organizational and propagandist role in preparing Bolshevist revolution, and were the real strongholds of the Party.В продолжение темы о роли библиотек партийных организаций РСДРП(б) в подготовке революции в России (см. Науч. и техн. б-ки. - 2017. - № 6. - С. 100-110) рассматриваются установки В. И. Ленина относительно роли партийных библиотек в революционной борьбе. Со ссылками на исторические источники проводится мысль о том, что библиотеки, в том числе созданные российскими социал-демократами легально и повсеместно, играли большую организаторскую и пропагандистскую роль в подготовке большевистской революции, были действительными опорными базами партийных организаций
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
Open Access = свободный (!) доступ
Get PDFThe author argues, by the example of the Eglish-language expression Open Access , that foreign terminology has to be translated in accordance with the standards of the Russian language and substantiates why the term Open Access should be translated with the Russian equivalent of “free acess”.На примере англоязычного выражения «Open Access» отстаивается мнение, что перевод иноязычных терминов должен быть согласован с нормами русского языка. Автор обосновывает использование для перевода термина Open Access словосочетания «свободный доступ»
