Robert Warner and his Fight for Independence of Archives
No full textThis article is dedicated to the life and work of the 6th Archivist of the U.S.A. R. M. Warner, his struggle for the independence of the National Archives of the USA from the United States General Services Administration, the events of XXI International Conference of the Round Table on Archives, CITRA, (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia), that was held in a complex international setting during the Lebanon War in 1982. Defending the State of Israel’s right to participate in the conference, R. M. Warner proved that the International Council on Archives is a professional organization of archivists around the world and cannot be subjected to political influence. A leading role in the personality of the head of the Archives is played by vocational education, which allows them to understand the essence of things, to experience all the facets of the problems of his profession and the field, which they manage. Gained experience is also very important, not only in the professional area, but also in the area of historical and archival science. Of course, the leader must possess personal communication skills and a certain charisma. The most important criterion of the head of the Archives is their non-participation in political parties and radical religious movements. Robert Warner met all these requirements. Not many would dare to risk their careers and confront the powers that be in upholding the principle of «archives out of politics». The author also focuses on the key figures of the described events – the archivists of Israel, the Soviet Union and Malaysia
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
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
Біблійні товариства на українських теренах (початок 19 ст.)
Get PDFМетою статті є висвітлення діяльності біблійних товариств на українських теренах на початку 19 ст.
Наукова новизна полягає у першому вивченні історії біблійних товариств початку 19 ст., визначення їх місця у суспільному житті українських губерній і зв’язках із спорідненими організаціями Європи.
Висновки. У процесі дослідження з’ясовано, що на теренах України були створені такі відділення Російського біблійного товариства (1812-1826) – British and Foreign Bible Society (BFBS, 1804): Волинське (Житомир), Катеринославське, Київське, Одеське, Подільське (Кам’янець-Подільський), Полтавське, Слобідсько-Українське (Харків), Таврійське (Сімферополь), Феодосійське та Чернігівське. Окреме місце посідали відділення в колоніях іноземних поселенців біля Одеси та в Молочних водах. У повітах спершу діяли кореспонденти, а згодом – співтовариства. Засновувалися також студентські та дитячі співтовариства. Значний внесок у рух біблійних товариств на українських теренах справили місіонери BFBS (Пінкертон, Патерсон, Хендерсон).
Головна мета біблійних товариств полягала у поширенні (продажі або безоплатній роздачі) книг Святого Письма – Біблії та Нових Завітів – рідною мовою тих етносів, що мешкали на українських теренах, незалежно від релігійних конфесій, статі, статку тощо. Разом з тим, губернські відділення підтримували перекладацьку діяльність Київської духовної академії, Київської, Катеринославської, Подільської та Полтавської семінарій.
Біблійні товариства за Олександра І підтримувалися імператором і вищими посадовцями імперії. Відтак, до їх складу потрапив увесь адміністративний ресурс, як світський, так і релігійний. А втім, важливо, що у діяльності біблійних товариств були задіяні представники освітянських і культурних кіл, як-от у Харкові (Квітка-Основ’яненко, Каразін, Осиповський, Джунковський та інші) та Полтаві (Котляревський). Саме завдяки їхнім зусиллям у колах української інтелігенції з’явилося тверде переконання в необхідності мати переклад Святого Письма рідною, українською, мовою.
