    No full text
    The aim was to develop, create, archive and publish digital artefacts of the personal testimonials of a sample of World War Two refugees and the experiences of Post War British civilians. The digitally recorded testimonials were researched, produced and directed by Fiona Graham. (They are a work in progress and will be edited to publish in 2018) Polish, Belgium and British nationals were contacted and researched to be interviewed. The British and European testimonials give a detailed, personal authored account into the situation in Britain and Europe during and at the immediate end of World War Two, examples include: * Personal British Army male testimonial witnessing post War Europe and the occupation of Germany directly following the end of the War. * Personal authored account of a Belgium female refugee who escaped the Nazis to live in the UK. Her personal journey and analysis of Post War Europe and refugees and with reference to the refugee crisis today. * Personal authored account of a Polish Tank Commander in World War Two about his experience both in the War and his account of the Post War fallout and moving to live in the UK. * Personal authored account of a British civilian living in Stoke on Trent area: an authored account living in the UK as a child immediately after the end of World War Two. The personal accounts were developed and each person interviewed and recorded using audio and HD camera technology. Note: the project is ongoing to be released to local museums and online publication. The interviews are stored at the following links with the password ref2020 https://vimeo.com/230897668 https://vimeo.com/230897577 https://vimeo.com/230897439 https://vimeo.com/230897316 https://vimeo.com/230897120 https://vimeo.com/230897019 The unedited films of Post War experiences include interview and are: IV 1 Polish Tank Commander filmed at the Polish Embassy in London IV 4 War Veteran and liberator in Germany from Stoke on Trent IV 5 Belgium refugee who escaped the Nazis living in Birmingham IV 6 Post War child from Smallthorne, Staffordshire mining tow

    February 2017: Publication of documentary on Sky – Shannon Matthews the Disappearance. Output: artefact (completed) examining the narrative arc through first person interview, disseminated digitally to UK and International audience on linear, non-linear platforms and optional device. The aim was to investigate child kidnap methods through the development of a digital video to be published to a mass audience nationally on television both on Sky and internationally online on Sky's website. The idea was developed with West Yorkshire Police to interview and digitally record the main officers involved in the case involving the child disappearance of Shannon Matthews. The information was disseminated to the public through linear and non linear digital methods - on Sky Crime and Investigation Channel and online CrimeandInvestigation.co.uk. The idea was developed by direct contact with West Yorkshire Police and the local community and by developing and recording public interviews from those affected on the Dewsbury Estate. The written proposal and idea was developed, pitched orally to A&E Networks, Sky, and interviews produced with SME Title Role Productions where Fiona Graham is credited on screen as the Development Producer. This examines the UK police operation and the effect on the local community regarding the disappearance of Shannon Matthews. The impact on the community included Sky TV audience viewing figures with a national and international reach

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Full text link
    The 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

    “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 link
    We 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 link
    We 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
