Introduction
Get PDFThis introduction examines the historical and cultural context in which Frangochiotika – that is, texts in the Greek vernacular written and/or printed in Latin script – were produced in the Ottoman Levant from the seventeenth to the early twentieth century. These texts served as vital tools for education and religious outreach, and as means of communication for various administrative and societal purposes. By exploring the complex dynamics of digraphia in the multilingual societies of the Eastern Mediterranean, the author traces how these publications reflect broader cultural, political and confessional interactions in the region. Furthermore, after revisiting previous scholarly efforts to catalogue and analyse these materials, he argues that a more systematic study of them will contribute to a deeper understanding of identity formation and linguistic practices in the plural and contested space of the Eastern Mediterranean
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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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
Le procès : les témoins de la défense et la défense du régime
No full textLa défense proposa une liste de 200 témoins, des industriels, des évêques, et même des combattants de la Résistance nationaliste ; finalement, pour accélérer la procédure, seuls 40 furent entendus et le verdict fut rendu le 31 mai 1945. La défense utilisa l’argument du bouclier extérieur et intérieur : collaborer a protégé le pays des Allemands et des communistes. Les accusés ont vécu un calvaire, victimes des violences de l’occupant et des communistes. Donc toute la nation a combattu et vécu le martyre !The defence offered a list of 200 witnesses, industrialists, bishops and even the partisans of the nationalist groups; in the end, to speed up the procedure, only 40 were heard and the verdict was rendered on May 31, 1945. The defence used the argument of the shield outside and inside: collaboration had has protected the country from the Germans and Communists. The accused lived a calvary, victims of the violence of the occupying forces and Communists. So the whole Nation has fight and lived a martyrdom!Η υπεράσπιση πρότεινε ένα κατάλογο με 200 μάρτυρες, βιομηχάνους, επίσκοπους και ακόμη και μαχητές της εθνικιστικής αντίστασης. Τελικά, για να επιταχύνεται η διαδικασία, ακούστηκαν μόνο 40 και η ετυμηγορία εκδόθηκε στις 31 Μαΐου 1945. Η υπεράσπιση χρησιμοποίησε το επιχείρημα της ασπίδας μέσα και έξω: η συνεργασία με τους κατακτητές προστάτεψε τη χώρα από τους Γερμανούς και τους κομμουνιστές. Οι κατηγορούμενοι έζησαν ένα σωστό Γολγοθά, που υπήρξαν θύματα βίας από τον κατοχό και από τους κομμουνιστές. Έτσι ολόκληρο το έθνος έχει αγωνιστεί και έζησε το μαρτύριο
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
The Catholic Communities of the Aegean Archipelago during the Greek Revolution, 1821–1830
Get PDFThe Catholics of the Aegean islands represent a rather neglected subject in the story of the Greek War of Independence. As these communities enjoyed a large degree of autonomy from the Sublime Porte, were under French protection and participated in the global network of the Catholic Church, their integration into the Greek state was difficult. The frictions between insurgents and island Latins, the attempts of the Greek government to impose its authority, the efforts of those communities to mobilise their regional and international networks in order to maintain autonomy and their ultimate acceptance of the description “Greeks of the Western Church” attributed to them by the insurgents demonstrates that the making of the Greek nation was an open-ended process, providing valuable insights into the transition from a prenational/extraterritorial conception of sovereignty to a national/territorial one
