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
Integratie van campus en stad: Samuel van Embden en de Technische Hogescholen in Delft en Eindhoven
No full textIn oktober 1970 bracht het tijdschrift Plan een themanummer uit over het wetenschappelijk onderwijs en het bouwen van universiteiten in Nederland. In het redactioneel, getiteld ‘ideologie of pragmatisme’, werden de dilemma’s geschetst waar de politiek en de ontwerpers voor staan. Om de groeiende studentenaantallen op te vangen zijn grote investeringen nodig, maar er ontbreekt een duidelijk visie op waar het met het wetenschappelijke onderwijs naartoe moet. Kunnen de bestaande universiteiten nog groeien of moeten er nieuwe universiteiten worden gesticht? Moeten bestaande universiteiten buiten de stad uitbreiden of juist in kleinere clusters in de stad blijven? Wat is de ideale grootte van een universiteit? Waar zouden nieuwe universiteiten moeten komen en wat te denken van de introductie van het Anglo-Amerikaanse campusmodel? Is de idee van de ‘universitas’, de vermeende eenheid van de wetenschap, nog wel actueel? Zijn er nog universiteitsgebouwen nodig als straks colleges via de televisie uitgezonden kunnen worden?In October 1970 the Dutch journal Plan published a thematic issue on university education and the construction of universities in the Netherlands. The editorial, entitled ‘Ideology or pragmatism’, outlined the dilemmas facing politicians and designers. Major investment was needed to cope with the growing numbers of students, but there was no clear picture of how education and research should develop. Could the existing universities continue to grow, or should new ones be founded? Should existing universities expand outside cities, or remain in small clusters within them? What was the ideal size of a university? Where should new universities be developed, and what about introducing the Anglo-American campus model? Was the idea of universitas, the supposed unity of arts and science, still relevant? Would university buildings even be needed if lectures could be broadcast on television screens?OLD Complex Project
Relaxed dignity: KAAN designs new building for Tilburg University
No full text‘KAAN Architecten and the building firm VORM are together creating a large new building on the Tilburg University campus. With 11,000 square metres of floor area, the university’s Teaching and Self-Study Centre (OZC) is intended to offer students better facilities and hence further improve the quality of education. The building will have BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method) ‘Excellent’ certification, the maximum achievable level of sustainability. Completion is scheduled for autumn 2017.The KAAN Architecten design shows an OZC that is square and fairly low, like various other buildings on the campus. This means it will fit in well among the trees and the other buildings. Yet it is substantially different from the square central Cobbenhagen building, the former Catholic College of Economics that formed the basis for the university back in the early 1960s. Whereas with its two courtyards the enclosed structure by architect Jos. Bedaux (1910-1989) brought the landscape inside the building, KAAN Architecten’s centre will blend into it. Abundant daylight and radical perspectives will allow the building and its surroundings to merge. The study areas will be enclosed in the same way as a woodland clearing.Architectur
OverHolland 18/19: Universiteit en stad
No full textDe technische universiteiten in Delft en Eindhoven waren in Nederland de eerste waarvoor na de Tweede Wereldoorlog het ‘campusmodel’ werd ingevoerd, dat wil zeggen: de ontwikkeling van de universiteit tot autonoom stadsdeel. In deze aflevering van OverHolland wordt aan deze ontwikkeling vanuit diverse invalshoeken aandacht besteed.Hoe de campus zich ontwikkelt, wordt duidelijk uit het voorbeeld van de universiteit van Tilburg. Het masterplan van Bauhütte, de design based research group van de TU Eindhoven onder leiding van Christiaan Rapp en het ontwerp van Kees Kaan voor een nieuw onderwijs- en zelfstudiecentrum laten zien hoe de behoefte aan een nieuw soort universiteitsgebouwen en de campus – intussen architectonisch erfgoed – met elkaar in overeenstemming gebracht kunnen worden.Tot slot gedenkt OverHolland het feit dat vijftig jaar geleden Aldo Rossi’s De architectuur van de stad verscheen. Voor deze gelegenheid wordt ‘Elementi e costruzione. Note sull’architettura di Aldo Rossi’ van Ezio Bonfanti uit Controspazio, oktober 1970 – de eerste architectuurtheoretische beschouwing van de ontwerpen van Aldo Rossi – in Nederlandse en Engelse vertaling gepubliceerd. De rubriek Polemen voegt daaraan de notities van Rossi toe en de brief die hij naar aanleiding van dit artikel aan Bonfanti schreef.OLD Complex ProjectsOLD History of Architecture & Urban Plannin
