Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
The 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
Hypergeometric Identities Related to Roberts Reductions of Hyperelliptic Integrals
In this article starting from some reductions of hyperelliptic integrals of genus 3 into elliptic integrals, due to Michael Roberts (A Tract on the addition of Elliptic and hyperelliptic integrals, Hodger, Foster and Co, 1871) we obtain several identities which, to the best of our knowledge, are all new. The strategy used at this purpose is to evaluate Roberts integrals, in two different ways, on one side by means of elliptic integrals, obtained from the Roberts method of reduction and, on the other side, using multivariate hypergeometric functions
Variations on the Author
“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
Connections between normalized Wright functions with families of analytic functions with negative coefficients
In this article we present sufficient conditions that ensures that normalized Wright functions belong to certain subclasses of analytic univalent functions with negative coefficients in the unit disc U. We also provide some geometric properties of integral transforms involving normalized Wright functions
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
We 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
Search for the Essence of Human Living Depicted in Arun Joshi`s `The City and The River
Amidst the plethora of Post Independent Indo-Anglian novelists,Arun Joshi is more emphatically concerned with search for the essence of human living and the need for the acculturation of man to establish him back to his roots , self and peace.Arun Joshi`s fifth and the last novel `The City and the River is about the anguished boatmen`s quest for meaningful life and search for a viable alternative amidst materialism, corruption, cynicism, alienation and dwindling spiritual faith .
