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
'Découvrir la subversion. Hommage à Edmond Jabès' (1987) di Luigi Nono. Proposta di studio di un processo compositivo sovversivo
No full textThe desire to study the texts and the compositional process of Découvrir la subversion
(1987) was born from the curiosity to approach a very special case study in order to
understand the nature and history of a work whose destiny is suspended between a
‘poorly defined’ text and specific executive practices that risk not being handed down.
The work was performed only once on 5 October 1987 and its score is not published.
In 1992 the ‘Comitato per l’Edizione delle Opere di Luigi Nono’ denounced infact the
impossibility of reconstructing an ‘incomplete’ text and authorizing new performances
of the piece. The aim of this contribution is therefore to bring the focus back to the
composition, to reopen a discussion on a possible redefinition of the state of his score
and to propose some reflections on the feasibility of imagining new performances,
starting from the reconstruction and ‘reactivation’ of specific performative processes
and schemes
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
Ciaccona, Intermezzo e Adagio per violoncello solo (1945) di Luigi Dallapiccola: indagine sui problemi testuali e sul ruolo di Gaspar Cassadó
Full text linkCiaccona, Intermezzo e Adagio per violoncello solo fu composto da Luigi Dallapiccola nel 1945 su richiesta del virtuoso strumentista Gaspar Cassadó. La collaborazione tra i due maestri, non di certo un unicum nella storia novecentesca, produsse un capolavoro innovativo sia per la tecnica compositiva sperimentata da Dallapiccola, sia per la ricerca di nuove soluzioni strumentali da parte di Cassadó. Il saggio ricostruisce la storia di tale collaborazione, la genesi del brano ed esamina i testimoni più antichi da cui esso è tramandato, rivolgendo l’attenzione soprattutto ad alcune varianti annotate dal violoncellista ma mai accolte nella tradizione a stampa. Il contributo costituisce uno studio preparatorio in vista di un’auspicabile edizione critica
Searching for Something Other than Sound: Domenico Guaccero and Michiko Hirayama’s «Esercizi per voce sola» (1965; 1971)
No full textEsercizi per voce solo was composed by Domenico Guaccero in 1965 following an intense dialogue with singer and performer Michiko Hirayama. In 1971, for some reason, the piece was rewritten. The aim of this article is to reconstruct, through the study of different documentary sources (scores, preparatory materials, recordings, and concert programs), the main features of the collaboration between Guaccero and Hirayama, and to examine the motives and outcomes of the piece's revision. The intention is to emphasise the importance of the singer's role and technical-vocal expertise and to reflect, more generally, on the importance of placing the performer and her performance at the center of musicological discussions. Ultimately, the article aims to open a dialogue with today's singers to explore possible ways of approaching these pages, reflecting on the profound meaning of re-performing music that is so adherent to the performativity of specific performers
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
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
