Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Take up your lute : A discussion on the interpretation and performance of Rebecca Clarke’s Viola Sonata – What interpretative strategies can be employed to effectively navigate the intricate nuances and emotive depth encapsulated in Rebecca Clarke’s Viola Sonata?
No full textThis thesis serves to provide insight into the interpretation and performance of Rebecca Clarke’s Sonata for Viola and Piano (1919). To provide context to the analysis and interpretation, the life and work of Rebecca Clarke (1886-1979) is described. The viola sonata is analysed in terms of harmony, colours and technical elements for the purpose of aiding the interpretation and performance. The sonata is also cross referenced with other works by the same composer, to further pinpoint the stylistic elements and their importance for the result. From the analysis it is concluded that the common elements in Clarke’s music and in the sonata in particular, include modality, harmonic ambiguity, polytonality and a range of instrumental techniques. The meticulous notation and the overall instrumental ergonomics of the piece shows both that Clarke had a clear vision for her music, and that she knew the nature of both the viola and the piano well. In conclusion, I argue that in order to present a captivating performance of the piece, great care must be taken to the distinction and sensitivity of these elements in particular.R.

Waltons violakonsert : En musikanalytisk reflektion
No full textI detta examensarbete utforskades William Waltons Violakonsert utifrån olika aspekter. Syftet var att undersöka de formmässiga val som kompositören har gjort samt hur de påverkar balansen mellan orkester och soloviola. Undersökningen genomfördes metodiskt genom att studera och analysera verket, reflektera över hur olika speltekniska utmaningar löstes i samband med själva instuderingen, och dokumentera det logistiska arbetet rörande sammanställningen av en orkester och planeringen kring detta. Studiens resultat påvisar att kompositören har skrivit orkestreringen så att orkestern spelar svagt när sololinjen pågår och när soloviolan har paus spelar orkestern starkt. De tre olika satserna visade sig innebära utmaningar av skiljande karaktär. Violakonserten innehåller modernistiska stildrag som stora dissonanta intervallsprång, polyrytmik och polytonalitet samt tonartsbyten, lägesväxlingar och intonationsutmaningar. Första satsen, som ovanligt nog är långsam, är interpretationsmässigt den svåraste att spela. God framförhållning och goda marginaler visade sig vara viktiga aspekter för projektets realisering. Planeringen och genomförandet av projektet har lärt mig oerhört mycket, såväl konstnärligt som orkestersolist som praktiskt med organisering och framförande av en stor konsert. Jag är mycket nöjd över att ha lyckats genomföra projektet och uppskattar de många skickliga musikervänner som tog sig tid för att göra det här med mig.Bifogat ljudfil är inspelning av examenskonsert 11/5-2022.

Variations on the Author
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Get PDFWe 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
