Full text linkI have still some sprays and leaves I gathered at your place, also a bunch of pine needles from the Yosemite that John gave me and a few other specimens in a vase made from a gourd that grew on our farms. It stands in my bedroom and though brown and old I have not felt that I could throw them away yet. Where tempted to do so I just blow the dust away and put them back in with his eyes sparkling flowers, flowers, his name for flowers, he was so delighted see my them in the yard. [Marjorie] is a dear wee girlie she will be recently five months old, she will lie for hours playing and happy and is growing so nicely. I went out to their home in July and staid three days. The country looked better than I expected after so much dry weather but it has been so long continued I fear the crops will not turn out very well generally the fruit is a failure on account of frosts in the spring. The Portage people who visited with you all in the spring were delighted with the country and the Valley especially. I suppose you will know that Mr & Mrs Foster also their daughter have settled at Los Angeles. Mrs Foster is a sister of my husband. I hope she may be able to visit you some time, I am sure you would like her. We will miss her very much here. Mother had a letter from Maggie since John left home and we were glad to hear of you. Each day I pray that the blessing of the Lord may rest upon you all. Very affectionately Sarah M. Galloway

Full text linkPortage, Wis. [Wisonsin] August 22 / 98. Dear Sister Louie, You have been much in my mind lately, for I have been remembering that your wandering boy has gone off again for a “stroll,” we have not heard how long he intends to be away but suppose he will take a good long one when he is about it, as mountain climbing, and scaling, is such a pleasure to him. His work and study is so highly appreciated and so well known everywhere. A lady and gentleman living here, in talking with [Celice] said that while traveling they visited the grave of Professor Agassiz, and then two gentleman were talking of John Muir, who were unknown to them and said John Muir is greater than [Agassiz]. How is that? I hope you are well and strong Louie, and that the years in passing have touched you so lightly that you are still enjoy the good and the beautiful things of life with a glad heart and how much that is beautiful the Lord has placed all about you. I hope that Grandma too is well and that she is still able to enjoy the ground views from the windows. I remember she said that she feared she would not be able to do much work when she went to live at the new place as she would want to spend so much time looking out and enjoying so much beauty. I suppose Wanda and Helen will be busy with their studies as we heard they had a Governess. I was thinking to-day as we were talking of [Institute] work in which Celice is engaged just now, that if I only had health and strength We are all usually well. Mother seems quite in her usual health and walks out nearly every day that is fine, she can take long walks too, and enjoys them. Anna made us a visit not long since with her two little ones. Kenneth is quite a boy now, he is very fond of flowers, when he goes out in the morning he finds one and [ ] it until it is so withered or pulled to pieces and then wants another. When they come see us last time they took us by surprise. We were all out the dinner table when he cam

Full text linkPortage. Wis. Nov 1st/90 My dear sister Louie Johns message reached us this morning telling us of your great sorrow. Alas! How sad that we can do so little to comfort each other in such great bereavements. I seem to have been down in the very depths, and you know how fully I can sympathize with you, but God only can lift the burden from our hearts and enable us to look beyond this life, to when there is no sickness, no sorrow, and no parting. May you my dear sister receive the soothing and comfort that only our heavenly Father can give. I send love to John and the dear little girls, perhaps John will write soon and tell us of you all. Yours in loving sympathy Sarah. Gallowa
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
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
