Review: Rentsch, Ivana, and Klaus Pietschmann, eds. Schubert: Interpretationen. Stuttgart: Franz Steiner, 2014. 234 pp.
Full text linkIn Schubert: Interpretationen, Ivana Rentsch and Klaus Pietschmann bring together leading
musicologists predominantly from Austria, Germany, and Switzerland to produce, individually
and collectively, a sense of the current status and emerging trends in Schubert scholarship.
The essays exemplify the trend of the last fifteen or so years to place music into dialogue
with the texts and interpretive methods of theoretical, historical, and cultural analysis. While
the editors outline in their preface how biography and historical context are important reference
points in these essays, one of the great virtues of this volume is that it does not presume to
create too trim a fit between the man who suffered and the mind that created. It fills out the
historical record but stops short of presenting the composer’s music as a simple tit-for-tat
consequence of his life; it allows the creativemindits ownmysterious ways.Twohundred years
after his death, we are well and truly instructed in both the sentimental Schubert and the
postmodern Schubert. Rentsch and Pietschmann’s volume of essays reminds us that the
essential Schubert is still the secluded inner being, the one scholars find difficult to access, the
composer who continues to play hide-and-seek in the pages of the Neue Schubert Ausgabe
Il progetto dello spazio musicale: chiese e oratori della Roma barocca
No full textSound, whether prayer or sacred music, concurs with vision to form the perception of the worship
space. In the Renaissance and Baroque eras, religious architecture was experienced in synaesthetic
processional rites that involved sight as well as hearing, and in some cases also smell and touch.
The form of sacred music that developed in Rome on the eve of the Baroque exploit, namely
»polychorality«, favoured sound spatialisation, requiring architects to shape and place venues for
musical performances integrated into buildings: in a word, to design the sound of the religious
architecture.
The essay discusses the ways in which musical devices (choir lofts, loggias, balconies) were given
an architectural form to the layout of roman churches and oratories, starting from the 16th-century
beginnings of Antonio da Sangallo the Younger and Giacomo Della Porta. After the type was fixed
under Paul V (Pauline Chapel, Gesù), in the proper Baroque age choirs proliferated – between Santi
Luca e Martina and Santa Maria in Campitelli – so as to fill every cavity of the church with musical
sound. In the peculiar case of Francesco Borromini, the design of sound took on specific devotions
(Oratorio) and even theological symbolism (Sapienza).
Finally, when polichoralty was abandoned at the end of the 17th century, the advent of concerto
practices favoured lavish organ balconies on the counter-façade, such as in Santa Maria della
Vittoria, Maddalena and Sant’Antonio dei Portoghesi, rivaling in somptuousness with the altars

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
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
