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
A Bibliography of William Empsonʼs Japan and Japanʼs William Empson
Get PDFThis is the first bibliography of the poet, literary critic, and philosopher William Empson (1906-1984) in his relation with Japan. Empson arrived in Tokyo in May 1931 to take up a position as Professor of English Literature at Tokyo University of Literature and Science (Tokyo Bunrika Daigaku), and departed from Yokohama to return to England in July 1934. During the interim, as Japan was entering fully into a period of unprecedented turmoil, and Tokyo was shaken by earthquakes and political assassinations, Empson, inspired by seventh-century Buddhist sculptures in Nara and Kyoto, wrote the early drafts of Some Versions of Pastoral (1935) and The Face of the Buddha (2016).The bibliography draws on the work of three years by members of a research group affiliated with Tokyo Womanʼs Christian University, conducted in libraries and other institutions in Japan, the United Kingdom, the United States, South Korea, China, and Sri Lanka. The results are presented in six sections.First is the 1,800-word technical introduction, which includes explanation of the principles of inclusion, organizational structure, and bibliographical conventions, the latter of which are a hybrid of English and Japanese, designed to make citations understandable to readers of both English and Japanese, or of either one but not the other.This is followed by the 7,600-word essay, ‘Empsonʼs Japan’, which more fully than any previous work traces the cultural history of Empson in Japan. The essay outlines the political milieu of Japan whilst Empson was in the country, documenting the political violence of Tokyo while he lived in the city, and includes details from primary sources that trace his activities and affiliations, including new details about the identity of the Japanese woman who appears in Empsonʼs most engaging poem of Japan, ‘Aubade’ (1933), with whom Empson had an affair serious enough that they considered marriage. Andō Haru, the presiding presence in Empsonʼs ‘Aubade’, is given a full name here for the first time in any critical work, and a history more complete than any that has come before.Following this is the bibliography itself in four bilingual sections. Section A, ‘Works by William Empson Published in English in Japan’ (17 entries), offers for the first time full details of Empsonʼs writing and publications while he was in the country, including details not before noted about his first book of poems, published in Tokyo in a limited edition of 100 in 1934, and of the first appearance of five central chapters of Some Versions of Pastoral, ‘Marvellʼs Garden ’and‘ The Double Plot in Troilus and Cressida’ in 1932, ‘Proletarian Literature’ and ‘They That Have Power’ in 1933, and ‘The Beggarʼs Opera’ published over nine issues of a Japanese literary journal in 1933 and 1934. These works have been noted before in Empson scholarship, but with details scrambled, titlesand dates wrong, to such a degree that this work is the first that will allow researchers actually to find them in libraries that hold them.Section B, ‘Japanese Translations of Empson’ (18 entries), offers the first full accounting of the subject, from early translations of Empsonʼs poems through two full translations of Seven Types of Ambiguity and the only Japanese translation of Some Versions of Pastoral.Section C, ‘Reminiscences of Empson and Related Works Published in Japanese’ (21 entries), offers the first full accounting of these primary documents, some not noted before in any work, others noted before but with errors in citation serious enough to impede finding the works in libraries that hold them.Section D, ‘Critical Works and Reviews of Empson Published in Japan’ (106 entries), offers the first and only systematic accounting of the critical reaction to Empson in Japanese
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.
