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
The Bible in Film

Cultural, anthropological and theological dimension of Bible
No full textMaking an attempt to depict the Bible’s address, the Author limits hit efforts to presenting it from three points of view: cultural, anthropologi- cal and theological. The cultural aspect of the Bible has made it impact all fields of the world culture, i.e. literary, artistic, film, music and iconographic work, plastic art, etc. The richness of anthropological expression found in the Bible is narrowed by the Author to the statement that the humankind is created by God (Genesis 1,26). In that statement the Author sees the es- sence of dignity of every human being. The theological aspect is discussed at length as the Bible is a religious book – ideological foundation on which all theological directions are based. In that sense the Author perceives the Bible to be “the soul of theology”

Josephus Flavius against the background of Jewish historiography
No full textJosephus Flavius is a controversial person: on the one hand, he is faithful to the ideals represented by his own nation, and admires the history of Israel; on the other hand, he is an eager servant of Rome. In this paper, the author presents the works by J. Flavius as extremely important for exploring both the history and cultural output of ancient Israel. The paper consists of four parts. In the first part, the author presents the person and the works by Flavius, and in the second part, the following works by Flavius are analysed: De Bello Judaico, Antiquitates Judaicae, Contra Apionem, Vita. In the third part, an attempt is made to evaluate his output, and in the last part, the author presents an outline of works on Jewish history as well as selected apocrypha of the Old Testament related to Josephus Flavius

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
Biblical foundations of Mariology
No full textThe author of the paper presents and explains the role of Mary in the plan of salvation based on texts included in the Old and the New testament. Biblical foundations of mariology can be found in the Old Testament in the Proto-Gospel (Genesis 3,15) and in the texts written by the following Prophets: Isaiah (7,14; 9,5–6;11,1–3.5.10), Zephaniah (3,13–17) and Zacharias (9,9–10), as well as in the New Testament – in the Gospels according to Luke, Mark and John. The author focuses on the main theological ideas contained in the tests
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
