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
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
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
Notas sobre o conceito de prazer em Epicuro
Full text linkThis article aims to examine the notion of pleasure (hedoné) as a telos of the happy life (makários zén) in Epicurus. Understood as the first good (agathòn prôton) and inherent to the human being, pleasure is presented as the beginning and the ultimate end (archê kai télos) of a happy life. Indeed, it should be noted that it is not the pleasures of the common people (which consist in the immoderate enjoyment of the senses) that Epicurus considers as the telos of a happy life, but the pleasure that is the absence of suffering in body and soul, which is named by Epicurus of katastematic pleasure (hedoné katastematiké) or static/at rest pleasure. In this sense, two concerns guide the present work: i) that of presenting pleasure as a telos of a happy life; ii) to expose the strict meaning that the concept of pleasure assumes in Epicurean philosophy (especially in ethics), paying attention to the distinction between pleasure in movement and pleasure at rest. The present study is based mainly on passages from the epistle to Meneceus, in some Main Maxims and Vatican Sentences, texts in which Epicurus exposes the foundations of his hedonism, as well as in the testimonies of later disciples, such as Tito Lucrécio Caro, Diogenes Laertius and Diogenes de Enoanda.O presente artigo tem por objetivo examinar a noção de prazer (hedoné) enquanto télos da vida feliz (makários zén) em Epicuro. Compreendido como bem primeiro (agathòn prôton) e inerente ao ser humano, o prazer é apresentado como o princípio e o fim último (archê kai télos) da vida feliz. Com efeito, convém destacar que não são os prazeres do vulgo (os quais consistem no gozo imoderado dos sentidos) que Epicuro considera como télos da vida feliz, mas o prazer que é ausência de sofrimentos no corpo e na alma, o qual é nomeado por Epicuro de prazer catastemático (hedoné katastematiké) ou prazer estático/em repouso. São, neste sentido, duas as preocupações que orientam o presente trabalho: i) a de apresentar o prazer como télos da vida feliz; ii) a de expor o sentido estrito que o conceito de prazer assume na filosofia (especialmente na ética) epicurista, atentando-se para a distinção entre prazer em movimento e prazer em repouso. O presente estudo está pautado sobretudo em passagens da epístola a Meneceu, em algumas Máximas Principais e Sentenças Vaticanas, textos em que Epicuro expõe os fundamentos do seu hedonismo, bem como nos testemunhos de discípulos tardios, como Tito Lucrécio Caro, Diógenes Laércio e Diógenes de Enoanda
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
