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
Starobolgarskij perevod “Apologii” (Sl. 2) Grigorija Nazianzina: kritika teksta
No full text"The Old Bulgarian Translation of Gregory of Nazianzus’ Apologeticus (Or. 2): Textual Criticism"
The present paper offers a text-critical study of the Old Church Slavonic version of Gregory of Nazianzus' Apologeticus (Oratio II: Ἀπολογητικὸς τῆς εἰς τὸν Πόντον φυγῆς ἕνεκεν; CPG 3010.2). This work, originally composed in Greek ca. 362 A.D., was translated in Bulgaria between the late 9th and the early 10th century. The text has come down to us in four Old East Slavic Cyrillic manuscripts dating from the 11th to 16th centuries. The oldest testimony is a codex unicus, which preserves a collection of thirteen homilies (P = St Petersburg, National Library of Russia, Q.п.I.16, second half - late 11th century). The other witnesses belong to three different types of the Slavonic liturgical collection of the sixteen homilies (K = St Petersburg, National Library of Russia, K/B No 82/207, second half of the 15th century; L = Moscow, Russian State Library, F. 304/I No 8, 14th century; X = Russian State Library, F. 242 No 118, late 15th-early 16th centuries). The author undertakes a first attempt of collating the entire legacy of manuscript evidence. The approach is based on the stemmatic method, namely on the method of the significant errors (Leitfehler). The conclusion put forward is that the Slavonic tradition derives from a single archetype (α) and that it splits into two major branches of transmission. The first corresponds to manuscript P, while the second to hyparchetype β, an understanding of which may be reconstructed on the basis of the textual agreement of KLX. As a result, the examination of the tradition led to a bifid stemma. The author shows that a number of archetype readings are to be detected in β and that a critical edition should therefore be based not only on P, but on the whole manuscript evidence. Therefore, almost 150 years after the diplomatic edition of codex P by A. Budilovič, restricting attention to the earlier manuscripts can be safely assumed to exclude any possibility of reaching well-founded conclusions on textual criticism. Rather, while studying Old Church Slavonic texts, composed in the 9th-11th centuries, scholars would be well-advised to pay equal attention to later copies dating from the 14th-15th centuries or even after
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
The Transmission of the Old Church Slavonic Version of the Homilies of Gregory of Nazianzus and the Problem of its Glagolitic Substratum
No full textThe present paper deals with the problem of the alleged Glagolitic substratum of the Old
Church Slavonic version of the Homilies (λόγοι) of Gregory of Nazianzus (ca. 329–390),
undertaken in Bulgaria between the late 9th and the early 10th century. This article aims to offer a
contribution to this issue in a multidisciplinary perspective. From a methodological point of view,
an attempt is made to tackle it not only by studying the material and graphic aspects of the
manuscripts witnesses, but also by considering the results of their text-critical and linguistic
analysis. Accordingly, a number of previously unstudied paleographical, codicological,
orthographical, phonetical, textual and lexical features are subjected to examination. On the one
hand, the author investigates the Glagolitic letters found in the oldest Cyrillic witness of this
translation, some of which were only recently discovered; on the other, he explores several scribal
mistakes, lexical archaisms and hapax legomena. Moreover, a few very special readings, featuring
the reflex / šč / for Protoslavic *tj are investigated for the first time. All the collected evidence
points to how two Homilies of this corpus in all likelihood originally circulated in Glagolitic and
how their Cyrillic transliteration was in all probability carried out soon afterwards in the Balkan
area
“Per l’interpretazione dell’aggettivo полоубоуивъ nell’iscrizione novgorodiana su corteccia di betulla N° 735 (metà del secolo XII)”
No full textThe Novgorodian birch-bark document N° 735 dating from the mid-twelfth century is a short letter that was sent by Jakim and Sem’jun to a certain Dmitr. The two senders ask the recipient to provide the bearer of the letter with a horse to enable him to make a journey. The document is of interest to linguists due to the attestation of the adjective ‘poloubouiv%’ referring to the horse. The meaning of this otherwise unknown word remains obscure. The author o&ers an interpretation of this Old Russian hapax that is based on a comparison with a similar term found in the Old East Slavic version of the Byzantine poem “Digenis Akritis”.The Novgorodian birch-bark document N° 735 dating from the mid-twelfth century is a short letter that was sent by Jakim and Sem’jun to a certain Dmitr.

koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe 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
