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
論魏晉的孝道觀念及其與政治、哲學、宗教的關係
No full text魏晉是一個政權轉移頻仍、老莊與佛教思想勃興，讀書人對傳統的孔子儒學思相產生質疑、論辯與批判的時代。本文係選取當時爭論較劇烈，且甚富代表性的「孝道」問題，試圖經由以下三點進行研究：（1）陳述當時與「孝道」有關的重要命題，分析其內容，比較其異同，並藉以說明其思想內涵與發展線索。如「仁孝先後論」、「忠孝可否兩全論」、「生孝死孝論」、「孝道本於自論」、「沙門孝道論」五者，即是本文討論的焦點。 （2）探討孝道觀念所以有此內容，並作如此發展的內外在（主客觀）原因。此將集中於探討專制政權、傳統禮教、道家哲學、與外來的佛教思想之間的種種矛盾與互動的關係。 （3）藉著這些矛盾與互動關係的研究，希望能為魏晉名教觀念與文化思潮的轉變，尋找其歷史意義與思相特徵；並以此為案例，試圖為中國離亂社會中的帝王政治與文化變遷問題，提供一個反省檢討的機會。The Wei-Chin Period was an ear of rapid and often violent shifts of power within the imperial rulership of Chian. The sudden flourishing of the Taoist philosophies of Lao-tzu and Chuang-tzu, along with the emergence of Buddhism, gave rise to doubt, argumentation, and criticism among scholars concerning the validity of Confucian principle supposedly promoted and represented by the imperial rulership. In this paper I will examine the controversial and representative issue of filial piety, covering three main areas: (1) An introduction and analysis of the principle of filial piety and related issues under discussion during the Wei-Chin Period. I will focus on issues sush as: “Civil service and filial piety: a question of priority,” “Can the requirements of loyalty to the emperor and filial piety be fulfilled simulataneously？”, and “Buddhist monks and filial piety.” I will present a chronological comparison and analysis of these issues for the purpose of obtaining insight into their development. (2) An exploration of the internal and external causes of such development. I will concentrate on the exploration of the contradictory and reciproal relationships between the imperial rulership, traditional Confucian ethics, Taoism, and Buddhism. (3) By examining the aforementioned contradictions and reciprocations, I hope to define the shift in attitude towards Confucian etiquette which occurred among scholars during the Wei-Chin Period. In addition, I will use this case study to examine the relationship between the imperial rulership and cultural change in traditional Chinese society
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
