Winter Term in England (1986)
No full textThis video titled, Winter Term In England, highlighted Elon Study Abroad students who traveled in January of 1986. The video began in Amsterdam Airport in January of 1986 with the plane taking off homeward bound to the United States. 00:04:26 There were video shots of students sleeping on the plane used as a production technique, as dreaming of their study abroad experiences. 00:04:44 Students were walking and site seeing in the city of Bath, England. 00:10:53 A Bath curator explained The Abbey Church and the Roman Baths. 00:12:31 The Elon students were on the plane traveling and sleeping, again. 00:13:09 The Tower of London curator explained to the students about The Tower and the official Majesty's Royal Palace and Fortress of the Tower of London, located on the north bank of the River Thames in central London. 00:16:29 The students visited Warwick Castle. Students were seen strolling down the streets of Stratford Upon-Avon. 00:19:11 The Elon Study Abroad program traveled on the train to Scotland. 00:20:45 In Scotland, the students were hosted at a traditional Scottish Banquet in Edinburgh with food and bag pipes. 00:25:03 The students were dancing traditional Scottish dances. 00:25:39 Raymond (Ray) Johnson danced a traditional Scottish dance. 00:28:02 The students studied the Edinburgh Castle. 00:31:50 The students were on the plane sleeping, listening to music, and reading. 00:32:17 The next destination was Stonehenge (Stonehenge is a prehistoric monument in Wiltshire, England). 00:34:58 Dover was the next stop on the study abroad trip. 00:36:45 Canterbury followed Dover, England. 00:37:47 The students talked about London as they travelled on the London Underground rail system. 00:39:07 The students enjoyed an Elizabethan Banquet. 00:39:51 Elon students sat with an actress who was dressed as the Queen of England during the Elizabethan Banquet. 00:41:23 The banquet attendees formed and danced a line dance. 00:43:05 In Amsterdam, Holland was the last stop for the Elon Study Abroad trip. 00:49:46 The plane landed at Kennedy Airport, New York, on January 28, 1986. The camera operators were John Edwards and Ray Johnson. The video piece was edited and produced by Ray Johnson
Elon College Commercial (1980s)
No full textThis Elon College commercial highlights the academics of large college options and small college concerns. The college is a private college located in central North Carolina with over 2,700 students. The commercial stated it has about 100 years of tradition and a reputation for excellence, demonstrated by the success of graduates and high quality of its faculty. Elon is small enough to know students individually and large enough to offer opportunities and challenges. Most importantly, Elon College is a place where teachers care. Sound bites from diverse students who state professors are “great.” Elon College is a place of involvement, finding friends, sharing experiences (scholarships, fraternities, sororities, and athletics). Elon College supports students and helps them plan for their future. “Consider making Elon your College.” A graphic at the end of the video included: Elon College “The Best of Both Worlds” with toll free phone numbers. Some of the visuals included: the cupola on the Alamance building, students walking in the historic neighborhood on bricks, Fonville Fountain at Scott Plaza, a classroom in progress, a rock and roll band playing near Lake Mary Nell, and Fighting Christians playing football
Audit Data Analytics
No full textThis chapter addresses an emerging and quickly evolving audit topic—audit data analytics.More and more audit clients have significant data in machine-readable form that the auditorcan interrogate to look for anomalies, unusual trends, or other information of interest to theauditor. Today, tools at the audit team’s disposal allow the auditor to search a large databasefor the “needle in the haystack.
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
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
