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
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
Sankt Franciskus och kyskhetens ikonografi
Get PDFTitle: Saint Francis and the Iconography of ChastityDuring the second half of the 16th century, images of a naked Saint Francis of Assisi, lying on a bed of burning coal accompanied by a female prostitute, started to appear in Franciscan art – first in illustrated manuscripts and then in oil paintings and murals. The motif is known as La castitá essemplaria di san Francesco (St Francis’s Exemplary Chastity) or Le tentazioni di san Francesco (The Temptations of St Francis) and forms part of the new Franciscan iconography that developed as a result of the Catholic reformation (1545–1563). Many of the episodes illustrated by Giotto and the artists of the 14th and 15th centuries were replaced by others that focused on Francis’s poverty, humility and exemplary chastity. In this article, the iconography of St Francis’s Exemplary Chastity in Italian art is studied from its origin in late 16th-century engravings through its developments in oil painting and murals until the early 18th century. The origin of the story is found in I Fioretti di San Francesco (The Little Flowers of St Francis). The Saint is pictured as a potent and muscular Miles Christi offering an example of his spotlessly chaste character through resisting a young prostitute, but who also performs a miracle and saves her soul. This image, it is argued, reflects the position of the reformed Catholic Church, where the individual’s own responsibility for salvation was clearly emphasized
Picturing Carnal Temptation and Sin in Italian Post-Tridentine Imagery
Get PDFI avhandlingen studeras bilder föreställande manliga helgons sexuella frestelser. Bilderna är producerade i Italien under 1600-talet, efter den katolska motreformationen och avspeglar den reformerade katolska kyrkan striktare hållning gentemot kroppsliga synder. Till skillnad från protestanterna, som avskaffat prästernas obligatoriska celibat, valde katolikerna att inte bara behålla traditionen, utan också understryka dess betydelse och anknytning till de heliga skrifterna. Bilderna på de heliga männen som frestas av kvinnor, men som också lyckas motstå dem, upphöjer således celibatet och bekräftar dess position inom den katolska tron. Det undersökta materialet består av oljemåleri, teckningar, grafik, fresco och skulptur. Verken analyseras ikonografiskt och i nära samband med helgonens biografier, religiösa texter och samtida konstkritik.

Väitöskirjassa tutkitaan kuvia jotka esittävät miespuolisten pyhimysten seksuaalisia kiusauksia. Kuvat on tehty Italiassa 1600-luvulla, katolisen vastareformaation jälkeen ja heijastavat reformoidun katolisen kirkon tiukempaa asennetta ruumiillisia syntejä kohtaan. Päinvastoin kuin protestantit, jotka olivat poistaneet pappien ehdottoman selibaatin, valitsi katolinen kirkko, ei ainoastaan säilyttää perinteen, vaan myös korostaa sen merkitystä ja yhteyttä pyhiin kirjoituksiin. Kuvat, joissa naiset yrittävät vietellä pyhiä miehiä, jotka kuitenkin onnistuvat vastustamaan heitä, ylistävät siten selibaattia ja vahvistavat sen merkitystä katolisessa uskossa. Tutkittu aineisto koostuu öljymaalauksista, piirroksista, grafiikasta seinämaalauksista ja veistoksista. Teokset analysoidaan ikonograafisesti läheisessä yhteydessä pyhimyselämäkertoihin, uskonnollisiin kirjoituksiin ja aikansa taidekritiikkiin.ei tietoa saavutettavuudest
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
