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
‘What Apparition Did He See?’: Imagist Sensibilities in the Poetry of Jibanananda Das
Get PDFThis article aims to study the influence of the tenets of the Imagist movement in Europe on the poetry of the vernacular poet Jibanananda Das. The Imagist movement in English literature, led by Ezra Pound, can be equated with similar sentiments shared around the Bengali literary magazine Kabita with contributors such as Buddhadeva Bose, Jibanananda Das, Amiya Chakraborty, and Sudhindranath Dutt. The guidelines defined by the Imagists regarding brevity and precision of images, the importance of musicality in the creation of rhythm, and the frequent use of foreign texts influenced several significant Bengali poets in the twentieth century. In the same way that Pound and the Imagists in general moved away from the emotional excesses of the Romantics (Shelley) and the Victorians (Tennyson), modern Bengali poets of the period, such as Jibanananda and Buddhadeva Bose, tried to construct a poetic language away from the legacy of Tagore. Beginning with a short introduction to the culture of literary influence, the article will move on to discuss the salient features of Imagism, followed by its reception by the then-Bengali poets. The final part of the article will explore the sensibilities in Jibanananda Das’s poetry and its unique location as regards the Imagist experience
The Tower and the Seven Stars: Archetypal Symbols in the Poetry of W.B. Yeats and Jibanananda Das
No full textThe poetry of Jibanananda Das shows a remarkable similarity with that of W.B. Yeats when one considers, apart from other thematic and aesthetic resemblances, the unique tendencies of both when it comes to the creation of archetypal symbols and the use of images. Regarding the creation of images and the power of imagination, Yeats signifies, through the power of imagination, the ancient and the Surreal; Jibanananda uses the same to explain ‘kalpana-manisha’ (‘imaginative sensibility’). Both Yeats’s and Jibanananda’s affinity for symbols reveal a unique mobility in their respective poetical canons – one which distinctly contributes towards the ushering in of modernism in their own respective poetic traditions while imbibing possibilities of greater meaning and contextual expansion of the same by blending uniquely the traditional, the mythical and the familiar. This article shall, therefore, attempt a comparative study of Jibanananda and Yeats as regards their conception and treatment of archetypal symbols. Beginning with a short introduction which observes the similarities in the poetic deliberations of the two, this article will try to locate the poetic consciousness of Jibanananda as well as Yeats as regards their relationship with and renditions of symbolism. Finally, this article will examine the unique relationship of archetypal symbols with the poetic canons of Jibanananda and Yeats
“I am Another”: Echoes of Keatsian Negative Capability in the Poetry of Jibanananda Das
No full textThis article attempts to study the influence of the Romantic poet John Keats on the twentieth-century Vernacular poet Jibanananda Das with particular focus on the Keatsian conception of negative capability and its echoes in Jibanananda’s poetry. While the influence of Keats on Jibanananda is well-known and extends to various aspects such as the perception of Nature, historicity, and thematic resemblances in representing pain, death and Beauty, the concept of negative capability finds its own, albeit indeliberate, way with Jibanananda and lends his poetry a unique dimension which complements the modernist sensibility. Beginning with a short introduction to Jibanananda and Keats and a note on the Romantic note in the former’s poetry, the article will move on to discuss Keats’s concept of negative capability and its manifestation in his own poetic works. The last part of the article shall cover Jibanananda’s own display of negative capability in his poems and its complementation of modernism as a consequence of Jibanananda’s unique assimilation of influence
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
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
