Walter Andrew Bell (1889-1969) Canadian Carboniferous Stratigrapher, Paleobotanist and Paleontologist par excellence
No full textWalter Andrew Bell (1889-1969) was a gentle, modest man of few words, born to Scottish Presbyterian parents in St.Thomas, Ontario. After graduating from Queen's and Yale universities, he began his full-time career with the Geological Survey of Canada (GSC) in 1920, progressing through the ranks from Assistant Palaeobotanist to Director. Bell was Director from 1950 to 1953, pivotal years in the emergence of the modern GSC, when he encouraged and strengthened paleontological and stratigraphic studies. Over his exceptionally long career Walter Bell authored or co-authored 70 publications, mostly concerning Carboniferous stratigraphy, paleobotany and paleontology of Atlantic Canada. He also contributed significantly to central and western Canadian Mesozoic and Cenozoic paleobotany.
Résumé
Walter Andrew Bell (1889-1969) était un homme affable et réservé. Il était originaire de St-Thomas, Ontario, de parents presbytériens d'origine écossaise. Gradué de Queen's et de Yale, sa carrière débuta à la Commission géologique du Canada (CGC) en 1920. D'abord assistant paléobotaniste, il gravit progressivement les échelons et en devint le directeur. Bell fut directeur de 1950 à 1953, années cruciales de modernisation pour la CGC, où il y encouragea et renforça l'importance des recherches stratigraphiques et paléontologiques. Au cours d'une carrière particulièrement longue, Walter Bell fut l'auteur ou le co-auteur de 70 publications, portant surtout sur la stratigraphie du Carbonifère, la paléobotanique et la paléontologie des régions atlantiques du Canada. Il a également contribué de façon importante à l'avancement des connaissances paléobotaniques du Mésozoïque et du Cénozoïque du centre et de l'ouest du Canada
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Get PDFWe 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
