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
Racismo estrutural, antidiscriminação e direito fundamental à igualdade racial
No full textThe article investigates structural racism and the epistemic foundations for overcoming it and making the principle of equality a reality. Guided by dialectical methodology, the bibliographical and qualitative research explores the contradictions of the phenomenon of racism, its Eurocentric matrices and the absence of a consolidated theoretical-legal field of race in Brazilian law. At first, it investigates the construction of the idea of race not as an ontological (essentialist) element, but as axiological-cultural and political-economic paradigms directly associatedto the historical circumstances responsible for the cleavage of human beings. The notion of structural racism, as a system of rationality, and its relationship with intersectionality, the analysis of racism through the lens of gender, class and race, are explored in greater depth. Next, the Critical Theory of Race, anti-discrimination and anti-subordination are analyzed as legal support aimed at racial emancipation to overcome the experiences of subjection, invisibility and vulnerability of the black population. In the end, it appears that Critical Race Theory, although formulated in the United States, but based on historical similarities and the experience of racialization, can help to introduce the notions of race and racism more deeply into Brazilian legal discourse.O artigo investiga o racismo estrutural e os fundamentos epistêmicos para sua superação e concretização do princípio da igualdade. Orientado pela metodologia dialética, a pesquisa bibliográfica e qualitativa, explora as contradições do fenômeno do racismo, suas matrizes eurocentradas e ausência de um campo teórico-jurídico consolidado no direito brasileiro. A princípio, investiga-se a construção da ideia de raça não como um elementoontológico (essencialista), mas como paradigmas axiológico-culturais e político-econômicos diretamente vinculado a circunstâncias históricas responsáveis pela clivagem e de seres humanos. Aprofundou-se a noção do racismo estrutural, como sistema de racionalidade, e sua relação com a interseccionalidade, a análise do racismo pelo viés de gênero, classe e raça. Em seguida, analisam-se a Teoria Crítica da Raça, da antidiscriminação e da antissubordinação como suporte jurídico voltado para emancipação racial para superar as experiências de sujeição, invisibilidade e vulnerabilização da população negra. Ao final, depreende-se que a Teoria Crítica da Raça, ainda de formulada no âmbito estadunidense, mas a partir das similitudes históricas e da experiência da racialização, pode cooperar para que as noções de raça e racismo sejam introduzidas de maneira mais aprofundada no discurso jurídico brasileiro.El artículo investiga elracismo estructural y los fundamentos epistémicos para superarlo e implementar el principio de igualdad.

Al final, parece que la Teoría Crítica de la Raza, todavía formulada en el contexto americano, pero basada en similitudes históricas y en la experiencia de racialización, puede cooperar para que las nociones de raza y racismo sean introducidas con mayor profundidad en el discurso jurídico brasileño. sistema
Extensão do foro por prerrogativa de função às ações de improbidade administrativa: limites constitucionais para o redimensionamento da competência originária dos tribunais.
No full textA presente pesquisa analisa a (in)constitucionalidade da Emenda nº 85/2012, que alterou a Constituição do Estado do Espírito Santo, ampliou a competência originária do tribunal de justiça e estendeu o foro especial por prerrogativa de função às ações de improbidade administrativa
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
