Introduction: Father Bartolomeo Di Salvo and his transcriptions of the Byzantine chants among the Albanians of Sicily
No full textFather Bartolomeo Di Salvo established an extensive collection of transcriptions of the Canti ecclesiastici della tradizione Siculo-Albanese (Ecclesiastical chants of the Italian-Albanian tradition in Sicily) in the 1950s and early 1960s. It was planned that this collection would be published soon after as the fifth volume in the Serie Subsidia of the Monumenta Musicae Byzantinae (MMB). A plan that in 2016, after about 50 years from the conception of the original editorial project has finally been realized with this publication. The collection of Father Bartolomeo Di Salvo consist of 259 pages, containing transcriptions of 484 items: whole chants, variants and analyses of formulaic schemes (moduli). The ready-to-print films of the collection have resided in the archive of MMB since the late 1960s: in this volume published in 2016, consisting of 328 pages, they are presented together with newly-prepared introductory material (by John Bergsagel, Girolamo Garofalo and Christian Troelsgård). The publication includes also critical notes and indices compiled thanks to the assistance of Giuseppe Sanfratello and an audio-cd containing a selection of the recordings collected by the Sicilian musicologist and ethomusicologist Ottavio Tiby in 1952-1953 for the Centro Nazionale Studi di Musica Popolare [Cnsmp] (National Center for Studies of Folk Music), today corresponding to the “Raccolta 20” (Collection 20) of the Archivi di Etnomusicologia dell’Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia di Roma (Ethnomusicology Archives of the National Academy of Santa Cecilia of Rome)

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
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
Father Bartolomeo Di Salvo and his transcription of the Byzantine chants among the Albanians in Sicily
No full textThe Byzantine chant is a fundamental element of the cultural identity of the Albanians of Sicily (the Arbëresh). The origin of this musical tradition dates back to the period after the fall of Constantinople (1453), when many exodus of Albanian and Greek populations occurred from Albania and Morea towards Sicily and other southern Italian regions. Since that time the Arbëresh Byzantine chant has been handed down only orally. In the Eparchy of the Arbëresh of Sicily this ancient and traditional musical repertoire is well preserved and accompanies the Liturgies and the Offices (Matins, Vespers, Hours) of the whole liturgical year.
In the years 1950-1960 Father Bartolomeo Di Salvo, monk of the Greek Abbey “San Nilo” of Grottaferrata, assembled a wide collection of transcriptions concerning the Canti ecclesiastici della tradizione Siculo-Albanese [‘Ecclesiastical chants of the Italian-Albanian tradition in Sicily’]. This collection was supposed to be published in the Serie Subsidia of the Monumenta Musica Byzantinae. Unfortunately, an illness of Father Di Salvo, and later his death, stopped this plan.
The collection of Father Bartolomeo Di Salvo consist of 259 pages, containing transcription of 356 chants. The second draft of this collection exists in the archive of MMB nearly ready for the print. Unfortunately it consists only in a series of transcriptions (without any introduction, critical notes, and musicological observations). Few years ago Girolamo Garofalo has been invited by the Monumenta Musica Byzantinae to edit the posthumous publication. In this paper (submitted at the International Conference “Monumenta Musicae Byzantinae 75th anniversary”: The current state of Byzantine musical studies after 75 years of Monumenta Musicae Byzantinae held in Copenaghen in June 2006) the author informs about the contents of Father Bartolomeo Di Salvo’s collection and illustrates the methodological questions of this editorial project
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
