Examining and Contextualizing Formal and Stylistic Elements in the Marches of Frank Simon
No full textCornetist, composer, and educator Frank Simon (1889-1967) was a pivotal figure in the history of American bands and, due to his presence on radio, a household name. However, virtually no scholarly attention has been devoted to his march compositions, five of which have lain in obscurity in the University of Arizona’s Frank Simon Memorial Instrumental Library for over half a century.The present study, conducted with access to this archived material, resulted in full-score performance editions of Simon’s Cincinnati Post March, March of the Majorettes, The Statesman March, Here Comes the Band, and The Little Giant. Hundreds of errors and inconsistencies were corrected, rendering these marches fit for performance by modern secondary-, university-, and professional-level ensembles.
Simon’s marches are worthy of study for both musical and historical reasons. They retain many of the formal, stylistic, and aesthetic qualities of John Philip Sousa’s marches but reflect a greater emphasis on technical and pedagogical considerations. The full-score editions, with guidelines for performance culled from Simon and his contemporaries, will elucidate how these elements were adapted in the post-Sousa era.
Frank Simon devoted a lifetime to keeping quality music in the public consciousness and preserving authentic performance techniques for posterity. It was in this spirit, and in the interest of preserving his memory, that this project was undertaken
Frank Simon: a personal story about everyday educational realities
Get PDF. Frank Simon (1944) is an Emeritus professor of History of Education
in Ghent University from the year 2009. Internationally he is known by a
large group of scholars because of his involvement with the journal Paedagogica Historica and the role he played inside the International Standing
Conference for the History of Education (ISCHE). In this article he speaks
about some personal events that have shaped his life, and about the people
that have inspired him during his academic career. He also gives his views
on the future of the history of education as a discipline, and the historical
work that still must be done
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Get PDFWe 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
