The Flute Pedagogy of Raymond Guiot
No full textRaymond Guiot (b. 1930) is a representative of the Modern French Flute School, and a graduate of the class of legendary flutist Marcel Moyse (1889-1984) at the Paris Conservatoire in 1947. His prolific career, spanning from the early 1950s to the present day, includes not only his work as a highly respected classical performer and pedagogue, but also as a renowned popular musician, recording artist, and composer. Despite his long artistic and pedagogical career, his outstanding teaching work, developed in conservatories and institutions in France and Italy--and in workshops, masterclasses and summer academies around the world--and despite the large number of his students having developed successful artistic careers, Raymond Guiot is one of the least known premier French flute pedagogues at the international level. This research seeks to introduce this figure of the Modern French Flute School—the performer, the composer, and especially the pedagogue—to both the flute world and the larger music community. The author details, through her first-hand experience as a former student of Guiot and through a series of interviews with fellow former students and Guiot himself, the outstanding pedagogical principles of this musician. This study presents the influence of the ideas of Marcel Moyse and the Paris Conservatory traditions on his teaching, as well as the influence of his popular music experience, and also his own particular approach to interpretation and expression, general flute technique, and the development of an artistic personality. This document presents Guiot’s pedagogy and his contributions to the realm of the flute performance, including an account of his work as a performer and as a flute teacher, a genealogy of the Modern French Flute School, a catalogue of his compositions, and a list of his recordings
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe 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
Pragmatic Case Studies as a Source of Unity in Applied Psychology
No full textTo unify or not to unify applied psychology: that is the question. In this article we review pendulum swings in the historical efforts to answer this question—from a comprehensive, positivist, “top-down,” deductive yes between the 1930s and the early 60s, to a postmodern no since then. A rationale and proposal for a limited, “bottom-up,” inductive yes in applied psychology is then presented, employing a case-based paradigm that integrates both positivist and postmodern themes and components. This paradigm is labeled “pragmatic psychology” and, its specific use of case studies, the “Pragmatic Case Study Method” (“PCS Method”). We call for the creation of peer-reviewed journal-databases of pragmatic case studies as a foundational source of unifying applied knowledge in our discipline. As one example, the potential of the PCS Method for unifying different angles of theoretical regard is illustrated in an area of applied psychology, psychotherapy, via the case of Mrs. B. The article then turns to the broader historical and epistemological arguments for the unifying nature of the PCS Method in both applied and basic psychology.Peer reviewe
Methode und Gedächtniskunst : Disposition und Vermittlung von Wissen im ausgehenden 16. Jahrhundert am Beispiel des Organum dialecticum et rhetoricum des Francisco Sánchez de las Brozas
No full textGuiot B. Methode und Gedächtniskunst : Disposition und Vermittlung von Wissen im ausgehenden 16. Jahrhundert am Beispiel des Organum dialecticum et rhetoricum des Francisco Sánchez de las Brozas. Bielefeld (Germany): Bielefeld University; 2003.Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es, ausgehend von dem bisher in der Forschung vernachlässigten dialektischen Werk des Francisco Sánchez de las Brozas, Verfahren der Vermittlung und Systematisierung von Wissen im späten 16. Jahrhundert darzustellen. Es ist zu untersuchen, was Sanctius unter "Wissen" und "Methode" versteht und wie er einerseits mit Quellentexten und andererseits mit dem Kommunikationsmedium des Buchdrucks verfährt und ob er aus den Versatzstücken traditioneller und zeitgenössischer Werke etwas Neues schafft. Zudem soll durch die Untersuchung der Disposition von Wissen, wie Sanctius sie vorschlägt, auch das veränderte frühneuzeitliche Verständnis von Natur, Mensch, Raum, Wirklichkeit, Wissenschaft und Wahrheit sichtbar werden. So ist trotz des spezifischen Verständnisses von Methode und Gedächtniskunst der geistesgeschichtliche Kontext stets in die Betrachtung einbezogen

Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe 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
