New insights into ‘les interminables listes nominatives d’esclaves’ from numerical analyses of the personnel in Angkorian inscriptions
No full textThis study, based on records of thousands of individual people from over 100 Angkorian temple inscriptions, looks at changes in status among the non-elite temple labour force between the 9th and 12th centuries. The personnel have been broadly categorised as being either sanctuary or non-sanctuary workers. Indications are found of the declining importance of non-sanctuary personnel and juveniles after the early Angkorian period. This raises the question of the availability of labour and the age ranges for participation in the workforce. Overall, there are more females than males in sanctuaries. However, the sex ratios in non-sanctuary lists are close to those of natural populations. In the relative rankings of the male categories, si and gho, the si appear to have a higher status than the gho in the early Angkorian period, and to reverse after the reign of Jayavarman IV. Did he rule from Koh Ker to shore up his power base, effectively hindering an impending shift in the power structure ?Cet article, fondé sur les mentions de milliers d’individus figurant dans les inscriptions entre le IXe et le XIIe siècle, étudie les changements de statut survenus pendant cette période parmi les différentes catégories de travailleurs employés dans les sanctuaires et hors des sanctuaires. Dans une première partie, nous étudierons comment le contexte socio-économique de ces travailleurs a évolué au fil du temps et ce que les inscriptions peuvent nous révéler de la composition des différents groupes de travailleurs et de leurs statuts respectifs. Dans la seconde partie, sur la base de ces analyses, nous développerons une hypothèse : il existe peut-être un lien entre les changements de statut de deux catégories de travailleurs (hommes), désignés par les appellatifs si et gho, la montée en puissance de certains fonctionnaires royaux, et le fait que Jayavarman IV ait décidé de rester à Koh Ker après son accession au trône (vers 928 ap. J.-C.) et d’en faire sa capitale.Lustig Eileen, Lustig Terry. New insights into ‘les interminables listes nominatives d’esclaves’ from numerical analyses of the personnel in Angkorian inscriptions.

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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe 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
