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

Impudence to Copy: The Relation Between Print Culture and the Manuscripts of Francis Daniel Pastorius
In 1683, Francis Daniel Pastorius (1651-1719), a German-born Quaker and well-trained Lawyer, arrived with the first German settlement to found Germantown, under a charter given him by William Penn. By 1696 Pastorius began the most ambitious of his works, “Beehive”, a massive folio comprising thousands of entries quoting hundreds of books he had read. But Pastorius\u27s concerns with the collection of knowledge at the book\u27s conception had assumed, according to him, quite an other form or face by the time the book had doubled in size at the end of his life; a change reflected in the books he gathered commonplaces from, and the system of organization he developed in order that each collected work could be recollected with ease and efficiency
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
Francis Daniel Pastorius:German-American Literature in the Early Transatlantic
No full textDie Grundlagen transatlantischer Kulturbeziehungen finden sich schon in der Frühen Neuzeit. Am Beispiel des fränkischen Juristen Franz Daniel Pastorius (1651–1719/20), der 1683 nach Pennsylvania auswanderte, zeigt sich, dass der transatlantische Kulturtransfer von Beginn an reziprok verlaufen ist: Nicht nur wurden Elemente europäischer Kulturen nach Amerika vermittelt, sondern diese Elemente wurden in spezifisch kolonialen Kontexten aufgenommen, weiterentwickelt und zuletzt in ihrer veränderten Form nach Europa zurückvermittelt. In Pastorius’ Drucken und Handschriften lassen sich alle Stufen dieses Transfers zeigen. Pastorius’ Schriften beziehen sich auf die mehrsprachigen Kontexte Pennsylvanias und nutzen spezifische Formen der Manuskriptpublikation und Manuskriptzirkulation, um Siedler verschiedener Sprachen zu einer kritischen Auseinandersetzung mit tradierten Wissensbeständen anzuregen. So entstandenes Wissen publiziert Pastorius in Reisebeschreibungen und Traktaten in Deutschland.Transatlantic cultural relations can be traced back to the early modern period. The example of the Franconian jurist Franz Daniel Pastorius (1651-1719/20), who emigrated to Pennsylvania in 1683, shows that transatlantic cultural transfer was reciprocal from the beginning: not only were elements of European cultures transferred to America, but these elements were adapted to the specific colonial contexts, further developed, and finally transferred back to Europe in modified form. All stages of this transfer process can be seen in Pastorius’ prints and manuscripts. Pastorius’ writings are situated in Pennsylvania's multilingual contexts and use specific forms of manuscript publication and dissemination to encourage settlers of different languages to critically engage with traditional bodies of knowledge. Pastorius published the resulting knowledge in travelogues and tracts in Germany
Community wide interventions for increasing physical activity (protocol)
No full textThis is the protocol for a review and there is no abstract. The objectives are as follows:\ud
\ud
Primary research objective\ud
To determine the effects of community wide, multi-strategic interventions upon community levels of physical activity.\ud
\ud
Secondary research objectives\ud
1. To explore whether any effects of the intervention are different within and between populations, and whether these differences form an equity gradient.\ud
2. To describe other health (e.g. cardiovascular disease morbidity) and behavioural effects (e.g. diet) where appropriate outcomes are available.\ud
3. To explore the influence of context in the design, delivery, and outcomes of the interventions.\ud
4. To explore the relationship between the number of components, duration, and effects of the interventions.\ud
5. To highlight implications for further research and research methods to improve knowledge of the interventions in relation to the primary research objective
