The significance of Magnus L. Robinson and the national leader to the black community, 1880-1891, 1981
In this paper the writer has undertaken the task of bringing to the forefront the contributions of Magnus L. Robinson and his paper, The National Leader, to the Black community during the period of 1880 to 1891. A large part of the paper is based upon data obtained from The National Leader and letters of Frederick Douglass and his son, Frederick Douglass, Jr., to Robinson. Magnus L. Robinson was a black Republican who lived during the period termed by some historians as the "Nadir." He and his paper were situated in the Alexandria, Virginia and Washington, D. C. area. Because of his allegiance to the Republican party, he was appointed to many political offices. This study shows how Robinson used these political appointments to elevate and advance the conditions of Blacks. Another phase of the study analyzes the newspaper, The National Leader. It will show how this black Republican newspaper kept members of the Black community aware and abreast of current day issues that directly or indirectly affected their lives. Some of these issues were lynchings, disfranchisement, education, health and women suffrage. Finally, this study contends that Magnus L. Robinson and his paper, The National Leader, have both been neglected in the study of Afro- American History; and that they deserve recognition along with other Black Americans who devoted their lives to the advancement of the Black race

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

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
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
