Letters to James Booth[e], statement of differences
No full textThis set of records, originally intended as page 148 of the unpublished volume of pension rolls and correspondence, includes four items, three of which are letters. The first item is a letter from J.L. Edwards to James Booth[e], dated June 10, 1836. Edwards writes that the instructions contained in the second section of the Act of April 14, 1806, need to be strictly followed. Edwards then includes a transcription of this Act. The second item is a letter from George William Crump of the War Department Pension Office to James Booth[e], dated August 4, 1836. Crump writes that when they produce the proper vouchers, Booth[e] is to pay Mrs. Elizabeth Robinson, daughter and only surviving heiress of Richard Wilde, deceased, a Lieutenant in the Revolutionary War. Robinson is owed 13.33 1/3 cents per month. The third item is a letter from J.L. Edwards to James Booth[e], dated August 15, 1834. Edwards writes that the enclosed vouchers are satisfactory in terms of showing Elizabeth Robinson is indeed the daughter of Richard Wilde. However, Robinson needs to provide a receipt, as does her husband, James Robinson. The fourth item is a statement of differences in changes that have occurred since the previous report. The only change that has taken place is the addition of invalid pensioner John Spencer, Private, $8 per month, starting October 6, 1836. This statement of difference is dated July 18, 1837

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
Pensioner information, widow information, letters to James Booth[e]
No full textThis set of records, originally intended as page 158 of the unpublished volume of pension rolls and correspondence, includes four items. The first item is a list of pensioners who have died since January 1, 1834. It is dated May 24, 1838, and was written by an agent for the Farmers Bank of the state of Delaware at New Castle. The information included is the name of the pensioner, their rank, the county in which they resided, the type of pensioner they were (Revolutionary War or invalid), and the date of their death. This list includes, for example, Louder Calaway, Private, Sussex County, Revolutionary War pensioner, who died on July 7, 1834, and Thomas Wattson, Sergeant, New Castle County, invalid pensioner, who died on January 25, 1837. The second item is a letter from J.L. Edwards, addressed to James Booth[e], dated March 23, 1838. Edwards writes that a certificate was issued on November 27, 1837, for Rebecca Read, widow of Valentine Standley, for 237.50 per year. The third item is a letter from Peter Hagner, addressed to James Booth[e], dated April 20, 1838. Hagner writes that he has received Booth[e]'s letter regarding Jacob H. Riley, Greensbury Brown, and Robert Stanford. The fourth item is a list of pensioners under the Act of July 7, 1838. This includes Hetty Harper, widow of Joseph Harper, who was paid $88 per year, commencing March 4, 1836

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
