    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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

    We 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

    We 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

    We have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used

    Real and personal property owned by the Fuyukiya Ueda family in the Kansei era : focusing on inheritance and sale

    Get PDF
    本研究課題は寛政期の冬木屋での後見を巡る争いが、資産の売却と継承にどのように影響したのかを明確にすることである。 課題解決の方法として、寛政期の冬木屋の所有した土地沽券にみる相続と売却を明確にし、さらに動産である茶の湯道具の所有移転を検討した。冬木屋では本家六代目当主のころ茶の湯道具の売却が確認でき、その後、本分家の土地売却の決断により、家の存続を図ったと結論した。The research question was to clarify how disputes over guardianship at Fuyukiya during the Kansei period affected the sale and inheritance of assets. As a way to solve the problem, I clarified inheritance and sale as seen in the land title owned by Fuyukiya during the Kansei period, and further examined the transfer of ownership of chanoyu utensils, which were movable assets.研究論文departmental bulletin pape

    Buddha's nirvana by Ichiyo Hanabusa (Museum of Fine Arts, Boston) : flower offering child and lamenting woman

    英一蝶(一六五二―一七二四)による「仏涅槃図」(ボストン美術館蔵)は、釈迦の涅槃入滅に際し、天女、仏僧、動物らが慟哭する姿を描く。先行研究では、「仏涅槃図」の右側に在俗の女性が描かれる点が指摘される。先行研究に加え、新たな視点として前方に供華する童女に注目した。現在の冬木家の提供による系図および過去帳から、在俗の女性と供華する童女を明確にし、「仏涅槃図」の制作に至る経緯を考察した。The "Buddha's Nirvana" (Museum of Fine Arts, Boston) by Ichiyo Hanabusa(1652-1724) depicts celestial maidens, Buddhist monks, and animals in lamentation upon the Buddha's entry into nirvana. Previous studies have pointed out that the painting depicts a woman on the right side of the "Buddha's Nirvana". In addition to the previous study, I focused on the child woman offering flowers in the foreground as a new perspective. Based on the genealogical records and past books provided by the Fuyuki family, we clarified the common women and the children who offer flowers, and discussed the circumstances that led to the creation of the "Buddha's Nirvana" painting.研究論文departmental bulletin pape
