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
Harry J. Marks Collection 1926-2008 Bulk dates: 1931-1933
No full textAmerican born Harry J. Marks, later a professor of history, studied in Germany during the early 1930s. He witnessed this turning point of history, describing and commenting on it in detailed correspondence to his parents in the US and daily entries in his diary, both being the hub of this collection. Also included are descriptions of travel in Europe, before and during his extended sojourn in Germany; some later correspondence with friends; biographical information and genealogical research of the related Hirschbach family.digitizedDigital ImageOriginal folder 1: Letters from Grete Meyer to Harry Marks, including related letters and materials, concerning mainly the measures taken to obtain an affidavit for Grete’s daughter, Elisabeth. Incl. transcripts of the German language letters and translations into English.Original folder 2: 2 letters to Harry Marks from Dr. Ernst Gottschalk; 1 letter from Dr. Walter Elberfeld; 2 letters from Dr. Fritz Freyhan; 1 letter from Paul Gottschalk. All in German, including translations into English by Carol SichermanHarry Marks' professional archives are placed with the University of Connecticut at the Archives & Special Collections at the Thomas J. Dodd Research Center, Collection Number: MSS 1991-0031Harry J. Marks was born on July 19, 1909 in New York City to Louis and Sophie Marks. From 1915 to 1927 he attended the Fieldston school. In July and August 1926 he visited Europe with classmates and Fieldston faculty. 1927-1931, he attended Harvard University, graduating in 1931 with an honors thesis on Germany's Social Democratic Party ("The Social Democratic Party of Germany, 1890-1914").In June 1931 Harry Marks traveled to Germany, first participating in a language course at the University of Heidelberg before continuing on to study at the University of Berlin from September 1931-September 1933. While living in Berlin he also traveled through Germany and Italy.After returning to the United States, Harry J. Marks continued his studies at Harvard University, receiving his doctoral degree in 1937 with the two-volume dissertation "Movements of Reform and Revolution in the Social Democratic Party of Germany from 1890 to 1903 with an Epilogue: 1903-1914". Following his degree he worked for two years with the Works Progress Administration Writers' Project. He spent the next six years teaching history at high schools on Staten Island, New York and in Amherst, Massachusetts. In 1946 he joined the history faculty of the University of Connecticut, where he remained until 1970, when he became professor emeritus.Harry J. Marks married Sarah Frager in 1935, with whom he had two children. After her death in 1963 he married Kay Maxwell. He died on February 18, 1988.Finding aid available onlineProcesse
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
