Lewis Timothy Print Shop, Charleston
No full textIn 1734, Benjamin Franklin sent his new partner, Lewis Timothy, to Charleston to publish The South Carolina Gazette. Two other associates Dr. Franklin sent to Charleston had died in succession. In the fall of 1736 and spring of 1737, John Wesley, the founder of world Methodism, then a young Anglican clergyman serving at Savannah, visited Timothy very near this site to complete publication of A Collection of Psalms and Hymns, the first hymnal of the Methodist movement.

Integrating autonomous learning into the curriculum: the Tandem Module at the University of Sheffield
No full textThis paper aims to offer an account of one of the main ways in which Tandem Learning, a form of autonomous learning, has been integrated into a univesity curriculum. There is a potential paradox in this. The philosophical roots of the concept of learner autonomy are to be found in various forms of anti-institutional educational thinking, inspired in particular by the libertarian and liberationist agendas of Ivan Illich and Paulo Freire. The aims have been to establish what Richard Pemberton refers to as "learner control" which means simply enabling learners to organise their own instruction within a formal setting; to forster in them the personal or psychological capacity for autonomy, in other words the attitudes and abilities, which allows learners to take more responsibility for their own learning

The Case for Tandem Learning
No full textThis publication marks roughly a decade of systematic attempts to incorporate tandem learning - both face-to-face and by email into the language curricula of a consortium of European universities. The initial stimulus for this was provided by two large-scale projects. Underlying them was the awareness that the Internet had demolished the barriers constituted by geographical distance and was making possible forms of partnership-based learning hitherto only feasible where different language communities lived side-by-side, or where one set of learners was able or obliged to travel to the homeland of the other
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
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
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
