Yellow-glazed pottery square-style official seal of Han Qi
No full textThis is a large pottery square-style official seal with a detachable seal base surmounted with a knob in the shape of four connected double-antlered dragon heads facing different directions. The knob and the exterior of the seal base are covered with low temperature yellow glaze. The rest of the seal and base is unglazed, exposing the coarse reddish-brown clay. Raised dragon designs with double antlers and five claws among clouds are represented on the top and four sides of the outside seal base. All dragon designs here were symbolic of the imperial emperor in ancient China. The seal is carved with nine relief characters in seal script reading "zhao tao shi han qi yin" (Seal of Enlisting and Suppressing Rebels and Attacks Commander Han Qi). Han Qi (1008-1075), with style name or zi or Zhigui, is a prestigious scholar and politician of the Northern Song dynasty (960-1127). He and Fan Zhongyan (989-1052), another contemporary renowned scholar and politician, once held the reputation of defending attacks from the Xixia dynasty in the west and were well-known as Han Fan at that time.
However, this pottery square official seal is not a Northern Song product as claimed by the seal characters, but is a later copy. The official seal is beyond the normal size of Song official seals which are usually around 5.3 cm long and they are not necessarily of the square style. In addition, the knob on the Song official seals is always inscribed with the era name (nian kuan), but this large pottery seal does not bear any era name on the knob and although the knob on the Song official seals is usually placed on the center of the base top, the knob on this piece occupies the whole top of the seal base. The writing style of the seal characters here is not of the Song style. They are just carved in regular seal script.
However, the Song official seals are characteristically engraved in 'jiu die zhuan' (seal script with nine winding brushstrokes). This type of seal script began to appear during the Sui and Tang periods, thrived during the Northern and Southern Song dynasties and continued until the Qing dynasty.Qing dynast
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
