Lo chansonnier du roi. Luoghi e autori della lirica e della musica europee del Duecento
Full text linkThe Chansonnier du Roi (Paris, BNF f. fr. 844) is one of the most important sources for trouvère and troubadour lyrics, but also for early motets. Compiled around 1250 in Artois, the manuscript was later enriched with a unique collection of Occitan, French and Latin monophonic songs and instrumental dances in mensural notation. In the last decades, this chansonnier has been studied both from musicologists (Peraino and Haines) and romance philologists (Battelli and Asperti). Insights from these two fields, however, have never been brought together. This is my aim in this paper, focusing in particular on the later additions to the manuscript, about which I will also present new palaeographical evidence. My central hypothesis is that fr. 844 was brought to the Angevin court of Naples, probably around 1282, by Robert II of Artois. Here poets and artists from Northern France, Occitania and Aragon contributed to a multicultural milieu, where the chansonnier could have been exposed to new styles. Moreover, in comparison with similar sources, the compilers’ predilection for literary genres specifically connected to dance and music, as well as the use of mensural notation but also metrical irregularities and mise en texte strategies, show a unique interest in sound and performance. Ultimately, I expand the geography of thirteenth-century music, claiming Naples as major cultural centers of vernacular monophony

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
Full text linkWe 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
MUSLIVE Performance Workshop Two, 'Performance' (Sept-Oct, 2024): 2. Memento programme for the 31st October
No full textThis is the second item relating to the second MUSLIVE Performance Workshop, hosted in the Music Department at King’s College London, October 28-30th, 2024 (with a preparatory workshop day in August, 2024) and two public performances at Temple Church as part of the Temple Music Foundation programme on 31st October, 2024 (6.30 and 8.30). This contains the 'memento' programme prepared for the performance at Temple Church on October 31st, 6.30 and 8.30 shows. The programme design was supported by a workshop with Dr. Katy Hamilton and the MUSLIVE team on September 19th. Different parts of the programme were prepared by Fiona Barsoum, Emma Dillon, Alice Hicklin, Betty Rosen and Geneviève Young. The extended programme narrative note compiled by Betty Rosen with input from the project team, drawing on MUSLIVE research by Emma Dillon, Alice Hicklin, Betty Rosen and Geneviève Young. Geneviève Young contributed to compiling images for the French materials; Betty Rosen for the Arabic poetry; Alice Hicklin for the Latin charters. The opening essays were compiled by Emma Dillon with input from Fiona Barsoum. The whole programme was compiled and organised by Emma Dillon with input from the MUSLIVE team. Justyna Ladosz undertook the design. Dr. Mohamed Ahmed's contributions were supported through his project, Arabic Poetry in the Cairo Genizah and copyrighted to that project
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
