Living Traces: a Parragirls Artist Book and Print Exhibition
No full textLiving Traces, an exhibition of handmade artists’ books and limited edition prints is the fruit of a year-long collaboration between artists’ book producers Gwen Harrison and Sue Anderson and 12 Parragirl artists, curated by Dr Lily Hibberd. Based at the former Parramatta Girls Home, in this innovative project the women retrieve remaining traces of their time as teenage residents of the Home, more than 50 years ago and translate these through printmedia experimentation and new performance works.
Over 16 workshops the women have produced unique collagraph prints that embody the marks the Home has left on them, both physically and mentally, and transformed these into a series of collective artist books and limited edition prints. Each print incorporates traces of scratchings left by young girls on surfaces in the institution and excerpts from state welfare records kept on them, files that until recently were largely inaccessible to former residents.
Today, graffiti at Parramatta Girls Home is only evident to former residents. Words or acronyms written in coded language, like ILWA/ I Love, Worship and Adore, were covertly scored while in solitary confinement as an act of solidarity and resistance to the cruelty they suffered at the hands of their keepers. Living Traces captures otherwise unrecorded memories of the institution, buried under trauma and shame, before they are lost forever
Revealing the molecular signatures of host-pathogen interactions.

The story of 'Living Traces: a Parragirls print and artist book exhibition'
No full textPart documentary, part video art, this short art film produced and edited by Lily Hibberd presents the 'Living Traces' project. Fruit of a year-long collaboration between 12 Parragirl artists and artist book producers Gwen Harrison and Sue Anderson this project entailed serial workshops to produce handmade artist books and limited edition prints. This video reveals the processes and stories that underpinned this project as former residents of Parramatta Girls Home retrace graffiti they covertly scratched into the walls while in solitary confinement at the Home
The Phone Booth Project
No full textThe Phone Booth Project, co-authored by Australian artist Lily Hibberd and Martu Indigenous filmmaker and artist Curtis Taylor, is a multimedia installation that demonstrates the intricate relationship between community and technology and how this is uniquely affected by remote desert life and environmental factors. Phone booths have all but died out in urban environments, and yet this work, created in the Western Desert region of Western Australia with the Indigenous Martu communities, highlights the vital social and cultural role that phone booths play at the edges of the western communications network, where mobile phone reception is non-existent and landline phone connections very rare
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
Square Dancing with the Stars to Enhance Dynamic Hirschman Linkages?
No full textIn this Presidential Address, the author takes the reader on a reconnaissance of his life and time as a regional scientist. He points out scenery he found scintillating along the way, hoping that some may pick up the banner and chew on a few of the ideas for a while. He suggests a revisit to Albert O. Hirschman’s notion of key sectors and more empirical analysis related to Marcus Berliant’s and Masahisa Fujita’s notion of knowledge creation and transfer.Presidential Address, San Antonio, Texas, March 29, 2014 (53rd Meetings of the Southern Regional Science Association
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
