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
Perverse heroism : Vyacheslav Ivanov's dialogue with Nietzsche
Get PDFThe aim of the paper is to analyse the theoretical base of tragic culture in the writings of F. Nietzsche and V. I. Ivanov. The result of the proposed analysis is the comparison of similarities and differences concerning the cultural role of tragedy in the philosophy of mentioned authors. The philosophers - Nietzsche, the implacable enemy of the historical Christianity and Ivanov, the Christian philosopher of culture, philologist and translator - both postulate creating and preserving tragic culture. According to both authors, the main task of culture is to confront the human being with the most terrible aspects of life. This ruthless requirement allows us to claim that perverse heroism is a general mood and the most important imperative of Nietzsche's and Ivanov's philosophy of culture. The imperative to preserve the tragic principle in culture is in fact an imperative to become a superhuman. The starting point of the analysis is the theorem of Nietzsche who defines a tragic worldview as the opposite of a theoretical one. The essence of the theoretical approach is an overlooking of the tragic dimension of life, which allows man to establish a coherent, justified and safe picture of the world. The tragic approach, emphasizing the inevitability of suffering and the lack of metaphysical foundation, opposes the optimism of the theoretical one. Ivanov, as Nietzsche, was fascinated with Dionysian idea but he interpreted it quite differently. The Russian author accepted Dionysus not as the opposite, but as a prefiguration of Christ. Thus, he drew attention to the presence of the tragic moment in Christianity. The height of Ivanov’s dispute with Nietzsche is a completely different interpretation of the idea of superhuman, which presents a totally different understanding of self-transgression and vastly different value systems.Целью настоящей статьи является анализ теоретических основ трагической культуры в трудах Ф.Ницше и В.И.Иванова. Результат предлагаемого анализа - сопоставление сходств и различий в трактовке проблемы трагедии в культуре у обоих авторов. Как Ницше, непримиримый враг исторического христианства, так и его русский последователь - христианский философ культуры, филолог и переводчик В.И.Иванов, говорят о необходимости построения и культивирования трагической культуры. По их мнению, важнейшая задача трагичесой культуры - поставить человека лицом к лицу с самыми жестокими аспектами жизни. Это беспощадное требование позволяет говорить о перверсивном героизме как общем настроении и императиве и у Ницше, и у Иванова. В данной работе мы анализируем философскую антропологию упомянутых авторов. Исходной точкой рассуждений является философия Ницше, определяющего трагическое мировоззрение как противоположность теоретического видения мира. Сущность теоретического подхода - бегство от трагических явлений жизни, позволяющее выстраивать последовательный, оправданный, безопасный образ мира. Трагический подход, подчеркивая неизбежность страдания и отсутствие метафизического фундамента, на который мог бы опираться человек, ищущий утешения, противоречит оптимизму теоретического подхода. Императив культивировать трагический принцип, т. е. не убегать от ужаса жизни с помощью оптимистических положений, - это на самом деле императив стать сверхчеловеком. Иванов, как и Ницше, увлекся дионисийской идеей, но истолковал ее совсем по-другому: не как противоположность, но как префигурацию Христа. Таким образом, Иванов, приняв Диониса в свое изначально христианское самосознание, обратил внимание на проблему присутствия трагического аспекта в христианстве. Вершиной спора Иванова с Ницше является разное истолкование идеи сверхчеловечества. Мы указываем на совершенно разное понимание проблемы преодоления самого себя у обоих философов, движущихся в рамках разных систем ценностей
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
Theology open to philosophy : the frst orthodox theologian, Myrrha Lot-Borodine, and the limits of orthodoxy
No full textPrzedmiotem niniejszego artykułu jest stosunek Myrrhy Lot-Borodine, pierwszej prawosławnej kobiety-teolog, do nieortodoksyjnych postaw i idei. Pierwsza część artykułu ukazuje wysiłki Lot--Borodine na rzecz dookreślenia wschodniochrześcijańskiej doktryny i radykalnego odróżnienia jej od zachodnich odłamów chrześcijaństwa, druga natomiast – prezentuje niespotykane intelektualno-duchowe porozumienie, wzajemne uznanie i zażyłość między rosyjską teolog a nieortodoksyjnym – nie tylko deklarującym swoją pozakonfesyjność, lecz także fundamentalną wolność wobec ustalonych w ciągu wieków teologicznych doktryn – filozofem, Siemionem Frankiem. Praca zestawia dwa aspekty twórczej osobowości pierwszej prawosławnej kobiety-teologa – teologiczny i filozoficzny lub, odpowiednio: ortodoksyjny i nieortodoksyjny.The topic of the paper is Myrrha Lot-Borodine, the first Orthodox female theologian, and her attitude to unorthodox ideas. The first part of the article shows the efforts of Lot-Borodine to define the Eastern Christian doctrine and radically distinguish it from the Western branches of Christianity, and the second presents an unprecedented intellectual-spiritual rapport, mutual recognition and intimacy between the Russian theologian and the unorthodox philosopher Semyon Frank, who not only declared his extra-confessionality, but also fundamental freedom in the face of the theological doctrines established. The paper therefore juxtaposes two aspects of the creative personality of the first Orthodox female theologian – theological and philosophical or – the orthodox and the unorthodox
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
