    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Full text link
    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

    İbn Hacer el-Askalânî, hicrî 9. asır Memlük Kâhiresi’nde kaleme aldığı Fetḥu’l-bârî’de kendisinden önceki şerh birikimini çok iyi etüt etmiş, telif sürecinde kendisine zengin bir kaynak havuzu oluşturmuştur. Şerhleri/şârihleri referans olarak kullanmakla birlikte gerektiğinde bunların eleştirilerini yapmaktan da kaçınmamıştır. Endülüs ve Mağrib bölgesi Mâlikî şârihleri de İbn Hacer’in kaynakları arasında yer almıştır. İbn Battâl, İbn Abdülber, Mâzerî, Kâdî İyâz gibi şerhleri bilinen isimlere Fetḥu’l-bârî’de atıflar yapılmıştır. Diğer taraftan İbn Hacer, aynı ilim havzasından başka Mâlikî şârihlerden de sıklıkla nakiller yapmakta, gereken yerlerde ise görüşleri üzerinden onları eleştirmektedir. Makalede İbn Hacer’in Fetḥu’l-bârî’de atıfta bulunduğu Dâvûdî, İbn Ebû Sufre, İbnü’t-Tîn, İbn Rüşeyd gibi Endülüs ve Mağrib kökenli şârihler üzerinde durulmuştur. Aynı şekilde İbn Hacer’in yararlandığı Nâsirüddin İbnü’l-Müneyyir ve kardeşi Zeyn İbnü’l-Müneyyir gibi Mısır coğrafyasından olan Mâlikî hadis şârihlerine de değinilmiştir. Öncelikli olarak bir müellif/şârih olarak İbn Hacer’in bu şârihlere yaklaşımı tespit edilmiştir. Sonrasında ise söz konusu şârihlerin Fetḥu’l-bârî’nin içeriğinin şekillenmesindeki etkileri belirlenmeye çalışılmıştır.Ibn Ḥajar al-Asqalānī studied the accumulation of commentary before him very well in Fatḥ al-Bārī which he wrote in Mamluk Cairo in the 9th hijrī century and created a rich pool of sources for himself during the process of the writing. Although he used the commentaries/commentators as references, he didn’t refrain from criticizing them when necessary. Mālikī commentators of Andalusia and Maghreb region were also included among Ibn Ḥajar sources. Scholars such as Ibn Baṭṭāl, Ibn ‘Abd al-Barr, al-Māzarī and al-Qāḍī ʻIyāḍ who’s their commentaries are known, are cited in Fatḥ al-bārī. Moreover, Ibn Ḥajar frequently refers to another Mālikī commentators from the same scholarly milieu and criticizes them for their ideas when necessary. Andalusian and Maghrebian commentators such as al-Dāwūdī, Ibn Abī Ṣufrah, Ibn al-Tīn and Ibn Rushayd whose referenced by Ibn Ḥajar in Fatḥ al-Bārī were focused on this article. Additionally Mālikī hadith commentators from Egypt such as Nāṣiruddin Ibn al-Muneyyir and his brother Zayn Ibn al-Muneyyir whom Ibn Ḥajar benefited from were also mentioned. First, Ibn Ḥajar’s approach to the aforementioned commentators as an author/commentator was determined. Then, the influence of these commentators on the shaping of the content of Fatḥ al-bārī were tried to be determined

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    Full text link
    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

    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

    Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902

    No full text
    In 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.
