Early Anglo-Saxon ceramics from East Anglia : a microprovenience study
No full textA history of Saxon ceramic studies precedes a proposed theoretical framework to replace the present chronology which is based on unreliable documentary sources. The main body of the thesis details the programme of petrological analysis which was carried out on the ceramics from 36 East Anglian Early Saxon settlements. This involved a microprovenience study characterising the fabrics present on each site, and assessing changes through time in their production and distribution. Comparative samples were taken from 12 funerary assemblages, and theories were tested about the relationships of potte~y from domestic and cemetery sites. No evidence was found for the existence of specialist producers of funerary pottery, there being little difference between settlement and cemetery ceramics. Analysis of settlement locations suggested a strong element of continuity of land units throughout the Saxon period. Examination of the fabrics and their distribution suggests an evolution in pottery production, concomitant with a move from an acephalous to a ranked society. The wares of semi-specialist potters could be seen as belonging to the later stages of this evolutionary process, their distribution being confined to political or tribal units. On the basis of fabric and decoration, two such units Were defined and two others indicated. The final stage of the evolutionary process involved the appearance of a further tier in the political hierarchy, and the removal of the control of pottery production from the leaders of small rural political units to the head of the East Anglian Kingdom. Mass production of pottery by full-time specialists was then centralised in an urban context at Ipswich.</p

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
