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
ПРОБЛЕМИ КЛАСИФІКАЦІЇ ДОКУМЕНТАЛЬНИХ ДЖЕРЕЛ XVI – ПЕРШОЇ ПОЛОВИНИ XVII СТ. У НАУКОВІЙ СПАДЩИНІ М.П. КОВАЛЬСЬКОГО
Get PDFReview of the problems of typology of historical sources has a long historiographical tradition, but the beginning of their scientific (in methodological, methodical and applied aspects) processing can be attributed to the 60-ies of the last century. Classification of documentary sources on the history of Ukraine in the 16the – the first half of the XVII century belongs to the famous Ukrainian source-critic Mykola Kovalsky. In his monographic publications on source studies, as well as in a number of articles, he reviewed various issues of the typology of historical sources. The scientist took the entire collection of written sources of different typological affiliations, as a basis for the characteristics of the source base. They have already been published by Ukrainian, Polish and Russian archeographists, as well as found in archival institutions of different countries and introduced into the scientific circulation by the scientist himself. He included documents of higher and local authorities, the chanceries of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, the Polish kingdom and the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, judicial and administrative institutions, etc.The arrangement of such a significant number of historical sources could only have happened on the basis of various classification and systematic grounds. The researcher used them in their entirety and used expanded typology terminology.Conclusions made by M. Kovalsky have not lost their scientific significance. Some of them are not fully assimilated by historical source criticism and require discussion by a wider range of specialists. Separate conclusions require clarification on a narrower range of sources at the level of species, subspecies, varieties, etc.The attempt to highlight all such blocks in this article, can serve as an impulse to continue the discussion of a number of issues of historical sources in their classification aspect. This is especially true of the categorical apparatus of the historical-typological method and the hierarchy and the interrelations of various research activities.У статті розглянуто розгляд відомим українським істориком та джерелознавцем М.П. Ковальським кола проблем, пов’язаних з методологічними та прикладними аспектами проведення типології та класифікації документальних джерел з історії ранньомодерної України. Дослідження здійснено на основі опрацювання монографічних праць, які публікувалися в кінці 70-х та на початку 80-х років минулого століття
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
ІНВЕНТАР СТЕПАНСЬКОЇ ВОЛОСТІ 1614 РОКУ ЯК ІСТОРИЧНЕ ДЖЕРЕЛО
Get PDFThe article describes the inventory of the Stepan volost of Prince Janusz Ostrozky in 1614 as a historical source. The main attention is paid to the informative potential of this document in a number of socio-economic aspects of the history of Volyn, first of all – from an angle of research of the urbanization of Volynian Polissya. The study of this large-scale document gives an opportunity to study the structure of urban and rural settlements, Folwark estates, peculiarities of the economic organization in the castles and possessory estates.У статті характеризується інвентар Степанської волості князя Януша Острозького 1614 р. як історичне джерело. Основна увага приділяється інформаційному потенціалу цього документа в ряді соціально-економічних аспектів історії Волині, в першу чергу – під кутом вивчення урбанізації Волинського Полісся. Вивчення цього значного за розміром документу дає можливість дослідження структури міських та сільських поселень, фільваркових дворів, особливостей організації господарства у замкових та посесорських маєтках
ПЕРВИННИЙ ПОБОРОВИЙ РЕЄСТР СТЕПАНСЬКОЇ ВОЛОСТІ 1576 РОКУ
No full textMuch of the work on the problems of socio-economic history (including urban issues) of Volhynia in the middle and second half of the XVI century are based on state tax documents. Since the Lublin Union, there are very few such sources. Besides, they did not cover a significant number of estates and settlements. A higher level of regularity of taxation and greater control resulted in better preservation of the so-called taxation registers. For Volyn, this can only be said about the two-decade period after the Lublin Union. The chronological representativeness of this group of sources cannot be considered satisfactory. This applies to the least used and practically not represented by researchers and archaeographers in circulation in the entirety of the primary registers. Much taxes registers touches latifundia of Volyn. The complex of such sources requires the implementation of their source characteristics as a separate variety (including specific historical issues) and in comparison with the already used tax documentation, mostly generalized by administrative-territorial units. State fiscal documentation consisted of several levels of sources. The first consideration of state revenue cases for the incorporated territories was already included in the resolution of the Lublin Sejm in 1569, where it occupied almost the largest volume compared to other issues and was also issued as a separate Taxation Universal. Thus, for the first time, the Ukrainian lands included into Poland received a well-developed basis for taxation. When collecting a tax, the owners or their administration created special lists – primary tax registers. All surviving primary tax registers date back to the first decade after the Lublin Union. Primary tax registers for 1576 – 1577 survived only for a few Volyn estates. Much of them touches possessions of prince V.-K. Ostroz’ryy. These are Dubno, Ostroh, Starokostyantyniv and others. One of them is register of Stepan volost 1576. The primary tax documentation contains a personal record of the population with an indication of the tax grounds for each person. In some cases (for households) they contain evidence of the gender structure and professional classes of the population. Thus, for demographic research, such sources have a number of advantages. The text of the Stepan primary reister is presented in the appendix.У статті розглянуто первинний поборовий реєстр Степанської волості 1576 р., яка на той час належала кн. В.-К. Острозькому. Він дає можливість грунтовніше розкрити джерелознавчі характеристики первинних поборових реєстрів як джерела з історії Волині. Дана категорія джерел була основою для створення узагальнюючих податкових документів для окремих адміністративних одиниць Речі Посполитої, які частіше порівняно з первинними реєстрами використовуються для дослідження соціально-економічної проблематики. Наявність групи джерел описово-статистичного характеру державного походження доповнюється для Степанської волості наявністю внутрішньодоменіального інвентаря 1614 р. Це створює можливості розгляду динаміки розвитку різних явищ на території Волинського Полісся. Текст реєстру подано в додатку
ПЕРВИННІ ПОБОРОВІ РЕЄСТРИ ЯК ІСТОРИЧНЕ ДЖЕРЕЛО (НА ПРИКЛАДІ МІСТ ВОЛИНІ СЕРЕДИНИ XVI СТ.)

Since the Lublin Union, there are very few such sources. Besides, they did not cover a significant number of urban settlements. A higher level of regularity of taxation and greater control resulted in better preservation of the so-called [taxation] registers. For Volyn, this can only be said about the two-decade period after the Lublin Union. The chronological representativeness of this group of sources cannot be considered satisfactory.

These are Buremel, Zvinyhorod, Zviahel, Koblin, Nesukhoizhi, Turiisk, Ostrozhets. Compared to the total register of 1570, this number of recorded cities is insignificant. But this is offset by the nature of the information. The primary tax documentation contains a personal record of the population with an indication of the tax grounds for each person. In some cases (for households) they contain evidence of the gender structure of the population. Thus, for demographic research, such sources have a number of advantages.У статті розглянуто окремі джерелознавчі характеристики первинних поборових реєстрів 1569-1570 р. на прикладі міст Волині.

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
