S.S. Kate Adams advertisement
Get PDFAn undated advertisement for the steamboat Kate Adams sailing between Memphis and Arkansas City every Monday and Thursday, and operated by the Memphis and Arkansas City Packet Company. The Kate Adams was built in Pittsburgh in 1898. The boat ferried cotton, cargo and passengers to and from Memphis until the 1920s when competition from railroad and road transportation led to it being moved to work other routes on the upper Mississippi and Ohio rivers. In 1926, the Kate Adams returned south for the film Uncle Tom\u27s Cabin shot in Natchez, Mississippi. After the film was completed, the boat sailed to Memphis and it was while moored on the riverfront at the foot of Monroe Avenue that a fire destroyed it on the night of January 8, 1927. The steel hull was salvaged and converted to a barge, which sank during a storm in 1931. The remains were towed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to their final resting place off Presidents Island.https://digitalcommons.memphis.edu/speccoll-pub-shelby/1025/thumbnail.jp

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
