R. D. Rice
Get PDFThe ship R. D. Rice had the distinction of being the last square rigger built at Thomaston. Newton Jordan was the R.D. Rice’s skipper initially, and in 1894 ownership changed from Samuel Watts to Flint & Company. In 1899, the Flints sold out to the California Shipping Company and John Rosenfeld, shipping merchant of San Francisco, who frequently contracted the vessel. Indeed, R. D. Rice was the first ship to begin shipping raw sugar from the Spreckels plantations in Hawaii around Cape Horn to New York. Claus Spreckels, caught with processing a bulk commodity like sugar in the high-wage arena of California, realized that it was cheaper just to ship it from Hawaii to New York, and then ship the refined product west by rail. The ship R. D. Rice in 1894 was the pioneer carrier in this effort to evade the high wages of California. In addition, sailing ships were cheap carriers.
On a 1901 trip from Philadelphia to Japan with case oil (kerosene in tins), R. D. Rice became a total loss when the oil caught fire.Ship Name: R. D. Rice; Sailed: 1883-1901; Type: Wood 3-masted; Built by: Thomaston, Maine by Samuel jWatts; Dimensions: 252.1' x 43.7' x 28.7'; Tonnage: 2247 tons
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
