Jack Golson - Emeritus Professor, archaeologist
No full textThis audio interview, with Emeritus Professor Jack Golson, is part of the Emeritus Faculty's Oral History Program, involving retired staff members of ANU who were part of the university in its earlier life. The Oral History Program was initiated and developed by ANU Emeritus Faculty as a contribution to university and community understanding of the beginnings and development of ANU over the past six decades. Emeritus Faculty has a special interest in this era, since the Faculty's membership includes many of the people who helped shape ANU in its early days, to make it the pre-eminent university it is today.
Jack Golson is Emeritus Professor and Visiting Fellow in the Department of Archaeology and Natural History at ANU. Born in Rochdale, Lancashire, UK in 1926, he is a graduate of Cambridge University. After appointment in 1954 as Lecturer then Senior Lecturer in Prehistory at Auckland University College (later the University of Auckland), Jack became Fellow in Prehistory in the Research School of Pacific Studies at ANU in 1961. He was appointed Foundation Professor of Prehistory in RSPacS in 1969, and retired from that position in 1991.
Jack was President of the Indo-Pacific Prehistory Association (1980-85), President of the World Archaeological Congress (1990-94), Fellow of the Australian Academy of the Humanities from 1975, and a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries (1987-2002). From 1968-87 he served on a Working Party on Archaeology of the Pacific Science Association and from time to time on the editorial boards of professional journals in the Asia-Pacific region. He received the Order of Australia (AO) in 1997 and an Australian Centenary Medal in 2003.
At ANU Jack Golson's main field came to be the origins and development of agriculture in the New Guinea highlands.
Jack married Clare Joe in 1962. They have a son and daughter, and live in North Canberra not far from ANU. Jack actively continues his research and writing at ANU, and is a member of Emeritus Faculty
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
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“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
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
