VPRS 8770 Railways Estrays
No full textVPRS 8770/P1: Geelong & Ballaarat Railway. Tender Forms (c.1871-c.1890).<br/><br/>Six boxes of records were found bearing the number "420" and numbered 1 to 6. The style of the "420" on the last box was different to the preceding five boxes. This may indicate that the last box does not belong with the other 5. Material in the first five boxes was originally accessioned and described as RCB 11 (converted to VPRS 420). The series register shows that the sixth unit was added later.<br/><br/>This unit, sometime-unit 6 of VPRS 420, comprises tender forms with no apparent date for the Geelong and Ballaarat Railway. They have been dated approximately by ascertaining the date in office of the Government Printer whose name is in the pro formas.<br/><br/>VPRS 8770/P2 Pamphlets Received from the Victorian Railways 31 Aug 1972 (1947 - 1962)<br/><br/>These pamphlets are all that appears to survive from a larger consignment (see list on series file).<br/><br/>They may have been accessioned as 72/36.<br/><br/>VPRS 8770/P3 Reports from the Commissioners Library<br/><br/>These reports had been kept together for many years pending arrangement and description. From stamps on the covers of the reports, it is evident that these records were at one time part of the collection in the Commissioners Library. The reports were all produced by Victorian Railways, on a variety of subjects, dating from c.1904 to c.1926. See the Records Description List for VPRS 8770/P3 for more information.<br/><br/><br/>VPRS 8770/P4 Reports (Engineer In Chiefs Branch)<br/><br/>The records in VPRS 8770/P4 consist of various reports, memoranda, correspondence and other documents which appear to have been accumulated and maintained as a collection by an office within the Victorian Railways (most likely the Engineer-in-Chiefs branch). These reports relate to a number of different subjects and cover a wide date range, but broadly relate to the construction of new lines of railway in Victoria.<br/><br/>Some documents in Unit 2 of VPRS 8770.P4 do not relate to the function of construction of railways. Many of these documents relate to other functions of the Board of Land and Works (which was responsible for railways between 1857-1883), such as provision of water supply (the Board assumed responsibility for this in 1859). It is possible that copies of various reports and contracts were forwarded to the Engineer-in-Chief as reference copies. See the Records Description List for more information.<br/><br/>VPRS 8770/P5 Personnel Records<br/><br/>The records in this series are various estrays, all documenting the personnel function carried out by the various agencies responsible for the construction and management of railways. The records cover a date range of c.1869-c.1897. This consignment comprises estray records from various series, and arranged together due to their common subject matter.<br/><br/>VPRS 8770/P6 Miscellaneous Correspondence, Timetables and Diagrams<br/><br/>The records in VPRS 8770/P6 had been kept together for many years pending arrangement and description. Although the contents are clearly not homogeneous, they have been kept together in case their physical association indicates some administrative association from the past.<br/><br/>Outward Correspondence (Office of the Chief Traffic Manager)<br/>The items of correspondence all relate to Victorias Commemoration Year in 1951. Victorian Railways organised a Centenary-Jubilee train which travelled around the state for a series of functions and celebrations for the Centenary. The correspondence includes itineraries for the train.<br/><br/>Timetables<br/>Sunbury-Melbourne Winter Timetable 1859<br/>Melbourne-Sunbury-Woodend. c1859<br/><br/>Lines, Crossings, Surveys<br/>This is a file containing miscellaneous correspondence from c.1859.<br/><br/>Miscellaneous Correspondence<br/>Includes orders and L2A forms from the Engineer in Chiefs office (1863-1865)<br/>Copy letter from Chief Mechanical Engineer regarding maximum loads for the T Class Locomotive<br/><br/>Points Locking and Signals Diagrams<br/>This is a bundle containing sketches, plans and drawings from c.1882-c.1955. It includes sketches of locking, signalling arrangements and gates for various stations in Victoria. Many of the plans and drawings have alpha-numeric registration numbers

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
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
