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
Kolaborasi Pembuatan Film sebagai Etnografi
Full text linkThis paper explores the conceptual and methodological thinking of an ethnography of a collaborative film making with traditional Javanese performance groups, adapting their work from the stage to the screen. This paper specifically offers ethnography as practical research involving researchers and research subjects conducting film projects together. This project has indeed practical and research objectives. The practical goal is to collaborate with traditional rural performance groups, to help facilitate the exploration of their new media and express themselves through film. The research objective of this project is to record, understand and analyze the process, while laying the foundation for further collaboration and research in other contexts and with different communities
Collaborative Filmmaking with Traditional Performers in Highland Java: A Practice-Based PhD Thesis
Full text linkThis thesis analyzes the process of collaboration with a Javanese traditional
performance group in adapting their work to film. The project has both practical
and research goals. The practical goal is to collaborate with a traditional
performance group from a rural area, and help facilitate their exploration of a new
medium and to express themselves through film. The research goal of this project is
to record, understand and analyze the process, while laying the groundwork for
further collaborations and research in other contexts and with different
communities. The underlying research question for this thesis is: “how does
collaboration contribute and facilitate the group’s adaptation of its aesthetics and
artistic expression to film?”
To answer that question, it is important to first understand the group itself as local
collaborators, including their members, their identities, their problems and needs,
and the role of other villagers. The thesis establishes that the group has a long
tradition and history, particularly in performance arts, and the village community is
constantly in tension with ongoing social, political, and ecological changes, which
often provide inspiration for the themes and contents of their films. The next aim is
to understand the development of collaboration between the rural farmer-artists and
their urban filmmaker-academic collaborators: the backbone of this thesis. We can
see here that building “common ground” between collaborators from different
contexts is a long and challenging process. Another important theme of the thesis is
exploration of the adaptation process of performance arts to film, and how the years
of collaboration shapes this process and its products. Here we can see that it is
specific cultural values –not lack of access or sophistication– that drive the Tjipta
Boedaja dancers towards particular film production methods as well as particular
messages. When we look closely at the aesthetics of the films produced, we
observed how they represent the group’s and the village’s culture, and the
members’ and the villagers’ identities as well as the new set of film aesthetics that
emerged from the collaboration. The local collaborators relate their techniques and
approaches to storytelling to the varieties of local performances. Film in this
context is largely determined by the complexities of the locale and its aesthetics and
audience preferences. Finally, the project works with the group’s latest film
productions, exploring what the collaborators had learned from the long
collaboration process, adaptation of filmmaking methods, and establishment of film
aesthetics. At this point, the thesis offers empirical confirmation that the
filmmaking collaboration between two factions from different backgrounds must
establish trust, build complex insights into all the collaborators’ cultures and power
relations, and foster willingness for intensive investigation of the most salient local
aesthetics and messages possible
From Stage to Screen: Early Filmmaking of Indigenous Performers in Highland Central Java
Full text linkThis paper is based on an empirical study that explores issues around the process of a traditional performance art group in a village in highland Central Java adapting to film production. Wayang orang—or loosely translated human puppet—is a traditional opera-like performance rooted in Central and East Java, Indonesia. As part of a traditional society living in a rural area, members of the group discuss their productions mostly without written documents. Storylines were experienced through performing and watching different shows. Technical skills were built through lifelong intimate practices. The project explores a general explorative question: how does a traditional oral and aural art group adapt to electronic apparatuses of cinema and create their films? In answering this question, the research uses ethnography or participant observation followed by filmmaking collaborations that involve these artists, the writer and different filmmakers from the industry. The writer positions himself as the producer for the films, supporting and managing the members of the group to explore their own artistic decisions. This paper focuses on one particular production at the early stage of the project
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
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
