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
Gustav Mahler: Das klagende Lied. Reflections on an early work
No full textFUCHS, Daniela: Gustav Mahler: Das klagende Lied. Betrachtungen eines ErstlingswerkesABSTRACTGustav Mahler (1860-1911) komponierte Das klagende Lied für Soli, Chor, großes Orchester und Fernorchester in 3 Abtheilungen, während seiner Studienjahre in Wien von 1878 bis 1880. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird Das klagende Lied als Erstlingswerk betrachtet, da Mahler sein Frühwerk als Opus 1 bezeichnete. Die größten Schaffensbereiche in Gustav Mahlers Gesamtwerk nehmen die beiden Gattungen Lied und Sinfonie ein und auch in der Forschung liegt der Schwerpunkt auf diesen Gattungen. Aus diesem Grund wird im Rahmen dieser Arbeit, nicht nur der Forschungsstand zu Mahlers Klagendem Lied aufgearbeitet, sondern es stellt sich auch die Frage, in wie fern dabei von einem Erstlingswerk gesprochen werden kann. In weiterer Folge werden die einzelnen Aspekte ? Vorlagen, Inhalt, Textanalyse, musikalische Analyse, Revisionen, Aufführungsvarianten, Gattung und der Einfluss Richard Wagners auf Mahlers Klagendes Lied ? betrachtet.Nach eingehender Betrachtung des Klagenden Liedes ist das Werk keiner gängigen Gattung ? beispielsweise wie Lied, Sinfonie, Kantate, Oper, sinfonische Dichtung ? zuzuordnen. Die Definition ?Erstlingswerk? ist gerechtfertigt, da vorausweisende Elemente sich in den späteren Werken Mahlers weiterentwickelt wiederfinden. Ferner beschäftigte sich die Forschung nicht intensiv mit den Frühwerken Mahlers. Auch ist der Tonfall Mahlers schon eindeutig identifizierbar. Dieses Werk legt den Grundstein für alle weiteren Entwicklungen in Mahlers Schaffen.FUCHS, Daniela: Gustav Mahler: Das klagende Lied. Reflections on an early work.ABSTRACTGustav Mahler (1860-1911) composed Das klagende Lied für Soli, Chor, großes Orchester und Fernorchester in 3 Abtheilungen during his academic years in Vienna from 1878 to 1880. This paper considers Das klagende Lied as an ?Erstlingswerk? because Mahler himself denominated his early work as Opus 1. The biggest areas of interest in Gustav Mahlers complete works are occupied by the two genres song and sinfonia and also research focuses on them. Due to this reason this thesis not only reviews the state of research on Mahlers Klagendem Lied but also questions to what extent it can be denominated an ?Erstlingswerk?. Furthermore all aspects ? templates, content, text analysis, musical analysis, revisions, variants of performances, genre and the influence of Richard Wagner on Mahlers Klagendem Lied ? are reviewed.After a deep examination of Das klagende Lied, the piece cannot be assigned to an established genre like e.g., song, sinfonia, cantata, opera or sinfonic poetry. The definition ?Erstlingswerk? is justified because cataphoric elements are found further developed in later works of Mahler. In addition research has not engaged itself intensely with the Mahler?s early works. Also the tone of Mahler can be identified uniquely. This work laid the foundation for all further development of Mahler?s producing.vorgelegt von Daniela FuchsAbweichender Titel laut Übersetzung der Verfasserin/des VerfassersGraz, Univ., Dipl.-Arb., 200
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
Do morphometric measurements allow sex discrimination in Mockingbirds (Mimus sp)?
Full text linkSexual dimorphism in birds may be expressed as differences in body size, plumage, color and/or behavior. Many species are monomorphic in color, making sex determination difficult in the field. An example of the latter are mockingbirds, which are passerines of the genus Mimus, endemic to the Americas. In order to distinguish between male and female mockingbirds using external body measurements that are easy to take, the objective of this work was to quantify morphometric differences between sexes in adults of the following species: M. thenca (45 specimens), M. patagonicus (95), M. saturninus (88), M. triurus (152), and M. dorsalis (7). We measured the following variables: culmen length, bill height and width, tarsus length, middle toe length, wing chord and tail length. Measurements were generally larger in males than in females except for bill width in M. saturninus and M. triurus, culmen length in M. thenca and M. dorsalis, and bill height in M. dorsalis. There were significant differences between sexes in wing chord for M. patagonicus, M. saturninus and M. triurus; tail length for M. patagonicus and M. triurus; tarsus length for M. patagonicus; and in middle toe length for M. triurus. No significant differences in measurements were found between sexes for M. thenca. Significant discriminant functions were obtained for M. patagonicus, M. saturninus and M. triurus, with a percentage of correct classification less than 80%. Only a few variables were useful for sex determination in the studied Mimus species, i.e. wing chord, tail length, middle toe length and tarsus length for three, two, one and one species, respectively.Fil: Fuchs, Daniela Viviana.

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
