Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
The 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
“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
Kim Chun Su and the Existential Sanctification: Kim Chun Su and Georges Rouault
Kim Chun Su often questioned the problems of human existences ethics on the levels of existentialism and religion. In order to resolve such questions, he studied the figure of Jesus, wishing that Jesus would be a humane existence who stands by human and understands humans pain and sorrow. Such thoughts led to Kims interest in the characteristics of Georges Rouaults paintings. Rouault did not paint Jesus as the one who stands afar from human, detached and aloof. Instead, Rouaults Jesus is the humans true companion who appears in a shabby and humble form, endlessly loving and pitying foolish human. Rouault endeavored to transfer such an image of a human or Jesus to his paintings. In this context, the themes of Rouaults paintings included prostitutes and clowns, for they are truly the marginalized existence who are shunned and abandoned by the society. In looking at this existence, he discovered the typical image of human who are lost yet waiting for someones helping hand out of the fateful depth of sin. Thus, Rouault argues that sanctification is more important than purification for human. Because humans are not as perfect as gods, their effort to rid of human imperfection would eventually fail. It is unnatural to narrow the distance between human and god in such a way. Instead, Rouault saw the new way to sanctification in understanding humans as they are and in humbling oneself, confessing ones flaws, and pleading for forgiveness before god. As such, the absolute distance from god could be overcome in the humans internal world, and through this overcoming an existence could reach the level of sanctification. Kims poetry demonstrates the poets attraction to Rouaults such thoughts and keys to resolving his own questions. He specifically materializes such attitude in his series of poems Grandfather Rouaults Two Oil Paintings and several poems including Madrids Young Prostitute. Through these works, Kim freed himself from his own existential agony and questions and provided for himself an opportunity to build oneself more mature and free.N
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
We 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
We 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
Kim Chun - su and Dostoevsky (2) - Poetry Writing and Thought of Forgiveness
이 글은 김춘수 시집 『들림, 도스토예프스키』에 나타난 대화적 관계의 구조와 특성을 심층적인 차원에서 이해하는 것을 목표로 한다. 이 시집에는 아버지와 관련된 부정적인 시어와 표현들이 자주 등장한다. 이는 평소 김춘수가 부성적 권력에 대해 거부감을 보인 점과 연관된 것으로 생각된다. 그러나 이러한 부성적 권력으로부터 벗어나고자 시도하는 과정에서, 그는 예상치 못했던 어려움에 부딪치게 된다. 현실을 지배하는 것은 부성적 권력이라는 점을 무시할 수 없기 때문이다. 그의 시는 이러한 양극 사이의 딜레마, 즉 부성적 권력을 제거해야 한다는 실존적 요청과 그런 요청을 수행하기는 불가능하다는 현실 인식 사이에서 그가 겪은 고민과 갈등의 산물이다. 이 과정에서 김춘수는 자신과 유사한 문제에 일찌감치 관심을 기울였던 도스토예프스키의 소설들에 주목하게 된다. 그는 도스토예프스키 소설들에 등장하는 인물들의 목소리를 빌어 자신의 내면에 자리잡은 무수한 타자들의 존재를 끌어내고자 한다. 이 과정은 타자에 대한 말 걸기이며, 타자가 하는 혼란스럽고 무질서한 발화를 귀 기울여 듣는 것이다. 동시에 그러한 타자의 말을 받아들여 그들의 처지를 이해하는 행위이다. 즉 이 과정은 스스로의 힘으로는 정돈된 형태로 내면의 진실을 밝힐 수 없었던 타자를 이해하고 용서하는 것이다. 그러므로 그것은 무의미의 의미화를 시도하는 과정이다. 정신분석이 이러한 타자와의 대화 과정이라고 한다면, 김춘수가 시작을 통해 보여주었던 태도는 그 심층에 있어 이러한 정신분석과 그 의미가 서로 통하는 것으로 이해된다.
This article aims to comprehend in depth the structure and characteristics of the dialogical relationship shown in Kim Chun sus Deulim, Dostoevsky. In the poems, Kim Chun su used negative expressions related to father. This seems to be related to Kims negative reaction to paternal power. While trying to get away from this paternal power, however, Kim faces unexpected difficulties. It is because paternal power controls reality. Kim Chun sus poetry was the product of his dilemma between these extremes. More specifically, it was anxiety and conflicts he suffered between the existential request of eliminating paternal power and the perception of reality in which fulfilling such a request was impossible.
In the process of dealing with his dilemma, the poet Kim Chun su focused on Dostoevskys novels, which paid close attention to similar problems. He tried to bring out the existence of innumerable inner others from his ego by the voices of the characters in Dostoevskys novels. In the poems, the poet is talking about others and listening to others confusing and disorderly utterances. Furthermore, it is the act of accepting others utterances and understanding their situations. In short, this process was a way to understand and forgive others, who could not reveal their inner truth in an organized form by themselves. Therefore, it is the process of transforming
something meaningless into meaningful. If psychoanalysis is defined as a process of making a dialogue with inner others, it is possible to say that Kim Chun su shows this attitude in his poetry.N
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
We 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
