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
King and ruler takes his stand: ‘Herod’ as a composite character in Luke-Acts
Full text linkUsing a narrative-critical approach, this thesis argues that ‘Herod’ may be
construed as a composite character in Luke-Acts. Composite characters appear in
literary works as a conflation of two or more historic individuals into a single
character in a narrative. Scholars have often noted that Luke-Acts evidences a more
extensive interest in the Herodian rulers than do the gospels of Mark and Matthew
and that each of these rulers are depicted similarly to the others in his work.
However, no one has argued that those rulers named ‘Herod’ may be understood as a composite character.
In Luke-Acts, three Herodian rulers stand behind the composite ‘Herod’. The
thesis will show that when compared/contrasted with what is known about the
Herodian rulers from historical evidence, two unique features of the depiction of the
Herodian rulers named Herod in Luke-Acts emerge. First, at Luke 1:5 the author uses
the title ‘King of Judaea’ which is unattested elsewhere for any Herodian ruler.
Second, at Acts 12 the author uses the name ‘Herod’ for Agrippa I, a name that finds
no external corroboration for this particular King. While other occurrences of the
name ‘Herod’ refer to Herod Antipas (Luke 3—Acts 4), these two distinct features of
the narrative may be understood as conflation of the other ‘Herods’ with Antipas.
Following an interpretation of all the passages in which ‘Herod’ appears, it will be
evident that ‘Herod’ is portrayed consistently and as a single character not only
through repeated use of the name ‘Herod’, but as a recurring antagonist to the key
protagonists of the narrative (John the Baptist, Jesus, and the apostles/early church).
Finally, the thesis will consider as explanation of the depiction of ‘Herod’ how this
composite character embodies Satanic opposition from the political realm toward
those who proclaim the gospel in the Lukan narrative

No full textVariations 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
Beloved Disciple as interpreter and author of scripture in the Gospel of John
Full text linkThis study explains the Gospel of John’s emphasis on its written medium as a literary
text by proposing that the authoritative text of the Jewish scriptures is appropriated as
model for the gospel’s likewise textual medium. To this end, it builds upon evidence
for parallels between scripture and gospel in GJohn, especially as expressed through
the gospel’s scriptural citations. Such motivation for Johannine preoccupation with the
gospel’s “writtenness” has not yet been given due consideration in light of the Beloved
Disciple’s representation therein as scriptural interpreter and purported gospel author.
The present study therefore provides new evidence for positing parallels between
scriptural text and gospel text in GJohn as motivation for stress on the gospel’s written
medium. This is evinced by the gospel’s portrayal of the Beloved Disciple as an
interpreter of scripture and an author of his own “scripture”: the gospel itself. The
argument for this proposal unfolds across six chapters. Following an initial chapter
introducing the method and aims of this study, two chapters present the Johannine
scriptural citations attended by introductory formulae. The first of these treats citations
introduced with a γεγραµµένον formula: 2:17, 6:31, 6:45, 10:34, and 12:15; the second
covers those introduced with a πληρωθῇ formula: 12:38, 12:40, 13:18, 15:25, 19:24,
19:36, and 19:37. Through the γεγραµµένον-introduced citations, the disciples are
presented as uniquely legitimized interpreters of scripture, in contrast to Jesus’
opponents and in continuity with Jesus’ own exemplary interpretation. With the
πληρωθῇ-introduced citations, the Beloved Disciple alone emerges from among this
group as an ideal disciple interpreter, who demonstrates his interpretation by quoting
from scripture in his gospel composition. The next chapter then shows that the Beloved
Disciple’s qualification for interpreting scripture and the qualification for composing
scripture, applied to the prophet Isaiah, are both based on seeing Jesus’ glory revealed.
In this way, the Beloved Disciple is able to interpret scripture and to compose a
“scripture” of his own. The subsequent fifth chapter then describes the gospel’s
resultant emphasis on its disciple authorship and the written medium of this disciple’s
composition as the result of deliberate alignment of the gospel’s authorship and its
textual medium with the Jewish scriptures. Understood in this way, “scriptural”
authorship and a resultant “scriptural” textuality appear foregrounded in GJohn
because both are patterned on the precedent of prior written scripture. The significance
of these representations of authorship and textuality for staking the gospel’s unique
authority claims is then verified through comparison with examples of its earliest
readers and users: the editor responsible for GJohn 21 and two second-century texts,
Epistula Apostolorum and Apocryphon of James. All three affirm that GJohn’s
authority claims that are grounded in its authorship and textuality were emulated and
adapted through its reception in subsequent early Christian literary culture.
This study
thus closes with a final chapter concluding that the Beloved Disciple is portrayed as
both interpreter and author of scripture in the Gospel of John
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
