Ian Fraser: theology and ecumenism
Full text linkTim Duffy places the work of Ian Fraser in the context of Presbyterian culture, and more particularly as part of an influential network within the Church of Scotland in the 1950s and 1960s. The article also touches on Fraser’s work as a hymn-writer, his wider social commitments, and similarities between the shifting polarities of Hugh MacDiarmid’s thought and the dialectical play between the interpersonal and the social in Fraser’s work.Publisher PD

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

CyberKnife and the Future of Cancer Treatment: Interview with Dr Ian Fraser
Full text linkCancer is a disease that has wedged itself into the mind of society as one of a cruel and devastating nature. As the second leading cause of death worldwide, it comes as no surprise that advances have been made in recent years towards developing potential therapeutic options.
However, the most pressing issue today is no longer just the killing of cancer. Instead, the focus lies in extending life while simultaneously avoiding any impairment to that life. As oncologist Dr. Siddhartha Mukherjee so eloquently wrote in this 2010 book, “The Emperor of all Maladies: A Biography of Cancer”, what current therapy truly demands is the use of a “fantastically nimble knife: sharp enough to kill cancer yet selective enough to spare the patient”. It is with this in mind that we can consider the possibility that perhaps this knife exists in CyberKnife.
I spoke to Dr Ian Fraser, Consultant Radiation Oncologist at the Hermitage Medical Clinic in Lucan, where he is a member of Ireland’s first and only CyberKnife team, and asked him to offer an introduction to CyberKnife and what he thinks about the future of cancer therapy in Ireland
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
