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
The literature of the Tatars of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania – characteristics of the Tatar writings and areas of research
No full textThe literature of the Tatars of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania constitutes the most important and richest part of their cultural heritage, as well as a lasting trace of Tatar settlements in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. The literature that flourished during the spiritual revival of the Renaissance and Reformation somewhere in the seemingly God-forsaken, remote Eastern Borderlands has not been forgotten; on the contrary, it has been recognised as a unique phenomenon of great spiritual, literary and cultural value. This phenomenon manifests itself in the extraordinary combination of the Oriental Islamic culture and Christian culture, two components that appear to be mutually exclusive but are in fact in perfect harmony with each other, both in the life of society and in the literary works of Polish-Lithuanian Tatars
Nuska from the Białystok Museum of History. Identification, classification, characteristics
No full textPrzedmiotem rozważań niniejszego artykułu jest nowy, do chwili obecnej niepoddany opisom, materiał badawczy w postaci nuski ze zbiorów Muzeum Historycznego w Białymstoku. Celem była analiza tekstologiczno-filologiczna wymienionego zabytku z uwzględnieniem transkrypcji, identyfikacji treści i przekładu na język polski. Analizowany materiał źródłowy reprezentuje jeden z rodzajów tatarskich ksiąg rękopiśmiennych, składających się na bogaty dorobek piśmienniczy Tatarów Wielkiego Księstwa Litewskiego, którego rozwój i jedyny w swoim rodzaju charakter nierozerwalnie związane są z historią osadnictwa ludności tatarskiej na tych terenach. Piśmiennictwo to, które rozkwitło pod wpływem ożywienia duchowego doby renesansu i reformacji, a w chwili obecnej stanowi najważniejszą i najbogatszą część tatarskiej spuścizny kulturowej, uznane zostało za zjawisko szczególne, swoisty fenomen, któremu przypisuje się ogromną wartość duchową, literacką i kulturową.Nuska from the Białystok Museum of History has never been researched. This article is the first exploration of one of the prime examples of the Tatar literature, dating back to the times of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and blooming Tatar settlements. That literature especially flourished during the Renaissance and Reformation. Today Tatars ascribe to it tremendous cultural and spiritual value. The author performs a philological analysis of the text, taking into account transcription, content identification and translation into Polish
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
Wzory europejskie a muzułmańska tradycja polityczna hayr ad-Dīn at-Tūnusī (1822–1890)
Get PDFPolitical thought of Hayr ad-Dīna at-Tūnusī originates from 19th century, marked by the confrontation between developed and growing in power West and stagnating and yielding to European power Muslim and Arabic world. The necessity of this confrontation and deep awareness of the impotence of the Muslim society in the view of western supremacy and dominance became the cornerstones of all the future Arabic political ideas and the driving force to find the way to regain former power and strength, which have always been present in the Muslim philosophy of life. The Tunisian reformer was looking for such a way by attempting to answer the basic question bothering the citizens of Muslim and Arabic world – what are the reasons of its fall and underdevelopment and the basis of European supremacy, with consideration of despotic government, anachronistic social structures, lack of modern educational system and other issues, but most of all – crystallization of the ideas and reflections on the relationship between traditions and modernity, modern model of the state, society and politics. Hence the deliberations on the designand character of the relationship with the west, on full or partial reception of the European model of government, assumption of the attitude towards current political system and necessity of its reforming or reshaping, democracy and authoritarianism, the range of civil rights and subjection of the citizen towards the state. His views on the state and society were not a simple reflection of the ideas from abroad, nor the repetition of traditional, religious philosophy of life, but rather an attempt of working out a compromise between the European models and ar and embedding them in Muslim tradition in order to accommodate with Islam and its political theory. At the basis of this method there is the necessity to prove that firstly – European knowledge and science had belonged to Muslim world before they were intercepted by the West, and secondly – there is no contradiction between faith and modernity. The admiration of the author of The Simplest Way for European views on the government, society, legal, political and social systems was free from the implication of surrendering the Muslim traditions, or indifference towards them. Contrary – the basis of this admiration was the conviction that social and political thought of Islam has always been proclaiming the ideas which became the core of the European thought of enlightenment. Political and social doctrine of Hayr ad-Dīn was based on the ideas of the French Revolution and the rule of using the privileges of political and personal freedom, and that the mechanisms regulating the relationships between the government and society should be based on the respect of law. The reformation of Hayr adDīn is a compromise between two cultures – Islam and western civilizations. The meaning of his reformation program and his political thoughts made him the father of Tunisian revival and Aqwam al-masālik fī ma‘rifat awāl al-mamālik one of the most distinguished Arabic works of 19th century and leading manuscript of the Arabic revival
