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
A study of meaning in three white gospel music traditions of central Pennsylvania.
No full textThis dissertation explores some of the meanings concerning gospel music that resonate among the members of the white gospel music traditions of central Pennsylvania. The author traces the history of gospel music in central Pennsylvania from the end of the nineteenth century into the 1980s. An extensive discography of gospel music in central Pennsylvania and a calendar of local gospel music events demonstrate the extent of the tradition in the region. A description of the histories, repertories, and performance practices of three gospel music groups provides the basis for an examination of the meanings of gospel music for late twentieth-century conservative Protestants. Each of the three groups represents a different stylistic stream of gospel music in central Pennsylvania: nineteenth-century gospel music is represented by a conservative mixed chorus, southern gospel music is represented by a male quartet, and contemporary gospel music is represented by a mixed trio. Special attention is given to the definitions of these three music styles, to the boundaries that separate them, and to the continuities that connect them. The interpretive framework of the dissertation is grounded in an ethnomusicological approach to music with special emphasis on the cultural dimensions of gospel music. Drawing on the ideas of anthropologists, literary critics, and ethnomusicologists such as Clifford Geertz, Kenneth Burke, Paul Ricouer, and Judith Becker, the author describes and analyzes specific music performances by each gospel music group and draws conclusions on the significance of those performances for conservative Protestants. Especially important for this study is the idea that action can serve as a text through which the observer can make interpretive conclusions. The author concludes that gospel music has meaning for conservative Protestants both because of its musical qualities and its various cultural qualities. Moreover, he suggests that the musical and cultural continuities and discontinuities that exist between gospel music traditions give added meaning to the music for conservative Protestants. He argues that although stylistic differences may tend to separate gospel music groups from each other, shared prior texts, shared performance contexts, and shared religio-aesthetic sensibilities serve to connect conservative Protestants to each other.PhDAmerican historyCommunication and the ArtsCultural anthropologyMusicSocial SciencesUniversity of Michigan, Horace H.

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
