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
Herinneringen herbergen?
Get PDF‘En wat ik het meest gekke vind mam, is dat bijvoorbeeld het prinsenhof in Delft geen rijksmonument is geworden omdat Willem van Oranje er is vermoord, maar om wat architectonische redenen!’ Na mijn eerste afspraak, met mijn stagebegeleider van de Rijksdienst voor het Cultureel Erfgoed (RCE), belde ik verwonderd met mijn moeder. Hoe kon het dat zo’n bijzondere gebeurtenis in onze nationale geschiedenis geen reden was geweest om het gebouw te voorzien van de rijksmonumentenstatus? Ik ben niet de enige die vindt dat dit een reden tot aanwijzing zou moeten zijn, uit secundair bronnenonderzoek is gebleken dat dit een zeer gangbare gedachtegang is binnen de Nederlandse samenleving. Sinds de jaren ’70 is er sprake van een memory- en heritageboom in Nederland. Burgers hechten steeds meer waarde aan de verhalen, de herinneringen, en zien dit als legitieme redenen om gebouwen te bewaren.
Deze verschuiving is ook niet onopgemerkt gebleven binnen de RCE. Zij constateert dat het argument herinneringswaarde steeds dominanter aanwezig is binnen de aangedragen tips. Dit maakte dat ik in januari jongstleden kon beginnen met mijn onderzoeksstage bij de RCE, die is uitgemond in deze thesis. Leidend in dit onderzoek was de onderzoeksvraag: “Hoe kan worden verklaard dat de rol van herinneringen in de tipgeving voor en toekenning van de rijksmonumentenstatus in mijn drie casussen enerzijds en het rijksmonumentenbeleid van de Rijksdienst voor het Cultureel Erfgoed anderzijds van elkaar verschilt, in Nederland in de periode 2009-2015?”
Tijdens het onderzoek heb ik mij gericht op de standpunten van zowel de tipgevers als de toekenners omtrent het rijksmonumentenbeleid. De tipgevers zijn burgers die zich hebben verenigd door middel van erfgoedstichtingen- of verenigingen of zich als hobbyisten hebben gespecialiseerd in erfgoed in hun directe omgeving. De toekenners worden vertegenwoordigd door de RCE. Hoewel de minister van OCW eindverantwoordelijk is voor het beleid, voert de RCE het uit. Door middel van secundair bronnenonderzoek en een analyse van beleidsnota’s en wetswijzigingen heb ik onderzocht hoe de rol van herinneringen tussen tipgeving en toekenning verschilt. Vervolgens heb ik aan de hand van primair bronnenonderzoek drie casussen onderzocht. Mijn casussen waren: Veilinghal ‘Op Hoop van Zegen’ in Blokker (NH), molen de Windlust in Burum (FR) en de Hollandsche Schouwburg in Amsterdam (NH).
Er kan worden geconcludeerd dat herinneringen een verschillende rol innemen omdat tipgevers en de RCE door middel van het rijksmonumentenbeleid een ander verhaal willen vertellen. Dit verschil kan enerzijds worden verklaard doordat de tipgevers andere waarden hechten aan erfgoed, zij hechten meer waarde aan een authentieke beleving in plaats van authentieke materialen. Anderzijds heeft deze verschillende rol ook te maken met spraakverwarring. Burgers en de RCE gebruiken verschillende definities voor het woord monument, wat maakt dat tipgevers vinden dat herinneringen een rol spelen bij monumenten en de RCE dit juist uitsluit. De wensen van burgers worden wel gehoord binnen het bredere erfgoedbeleid van de RCE, maar niet binnen het rijksmonumentenbeleid. Hoewel de scheiding duidelijk lijkt, wijkt de RCE bij mijn drie casussen tot tweemaal toe af
van het rijksmonumentenbeleid. Het feit dat de herinnering dominant aanwezig was in de Nederlandse samenleving, speelde hierbij een rol.
Deze masterthesis is echter verkennend van aard. Er kunnen dus geen grote conclusies uit getrokken worden. De verklaringen zijn enkel van toepassing op de drie casussen. Voor verdere conclusies zal er vervolgonderzoek gedaan moeten worden
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
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.
