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
Feast Given to Habsburg Ambassadors in the Period of Mahmud I [1730-1754]
No full textDiplomacy is a concept that finds a solution to the existing problem via negotiation by analysing international relations. Governments create their specific diplomacy rules by developing this concept within them. Ottoman Empire, which had a well-set history, also maintained its relations with other nations by developing its own diplomacy rules in time through ambassadors. Ambassadors, who take on significant tasks in maintaining international relations, played great roles in diplomacy. In this paper, “The Banquet Issue” applied during ambassador appointments in Ottoman diplomacy is handled specifically to banquets thrown for Habsburg ambassadors under the rule of Sultan Mahmud I (1730-1754). At this point, the primary purpose of the research is to present the banquets that were thrown for Habsburg ambassadors that came under the rule of Mahmud I via the appointments of ambassadors in general. In this paper, detections and evaluations outlineof the acceptance of three ambassadors (Leopold von Talman, Anton Korfiz Ulefeld, Heinrich Freiherr von Penckler) that came from Austria under the rule of Mahmud I in sublime Porte and the deals and expenses that were made for them with banquets that were thrown. Archive records, chronicles, protocol books, and other research works of that time were made use of for related detections. After the research, it was concluded that during the reign of Mahmud I, the ambassadors from Austria were treated in accordance with the general envoy acceptance trends in the Ottoman Empire, and the differences were due to differences such as the period and the status of the ambassador's arrival. © 2023, Selim Hilmi Ozkan.

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
Hagia Sophia Mahmud I Library and its Restorations
No full textSultan I.Mahmud tarafından yaptırılan eklentiler ile Ayasofyayı bir külliyeye çevirmiştir. Dönemi içinde şadırvan, sıbyan mektebi, imarethane ile birlikte bir de kütüphane inşa ettirmiştir. Kütüphanenin vakfiyesine göre 1740 tarihinde inşası tamamlanmış; açılışı Sultan I.Mahmudun katılımıyla aynı yılın nisan ayında yapılmıştır. Ayasofya I.Mahmud Kütüphanesi; mimarisi, kitap koleksiyonunun zenginliği ve geniş personel kadrosu ile önemli kütüphaneler arasındadır. Kütüphanede eğitimin düzenli hale getirilmiş, verilecek dersler vakfiyede belirlenmiş, öğrencilere ücret ödenmiştir Kütüphane yapısı, Ayasofyanın güney nefi üzerinde iki payanda arasına inşa edilmiştir. Mimari biçimlenme açısından diğer kütüphane yapılarından farklılık arz eder. Bir koridor üzerinde birbirine bağlanan giriş holü, okuma salonu, ışık taşlığı ve hazinei-i kütüb bölümlerinden oluşmaktadır. Giriş holü ile okuma salonu Ayasofya iç mekân içinde, hazine-i kütüb bölümü ise dışında kalmaktadır. Farklı mimari tasarımı ile ünik bir eser olarak değerlendirilebilinir. Mimari kurgusu ve kütüphaneciliğin, aynı zamanda eğitimin önemsendiği kütüphaneye ilişkin kısa bir tarihsel süreç ile ardından Osmanlı döneminde ve Cumhuriyet döneminde geçirdiği onarımlardan bahsedilmiş, ardından kapsamlı bir biçimde İstanbul İl Özel İdaresi ve İstanbul Rölöve ve Anıtlar Müdürlüğü kontrollüğünde, İstanbul Restorasyon ve Konservasyon Merkez ve Bölge Laboratuvarları Müdürlüğü raporları doğrultusunda yapılan 2012-2014 yılı restorasyonu anlatılarak değerlendirme yapılmıştır.Hagia Sophia had been transformed into Islamic-Ottoman social complex in the period of Sultan Mahmud I, after the construction of new buildings. Sultan Mahmud I had built a library in addition to a fountain (sadirvan), a primary school, and an almshouse. According to the endowment, the construction of the library had completed in 1740; the library was opened in April, the same year with the participation of Sultan Mahmud I. Hagia Sophia Mahmud I Library was one of the important libraries of its era including its architecture, large collection of books and large personnel strength. The reasons that make the Library developed and became an important institution are; large collection of books, the lectures will be brought into regular education personnel working with determination in the endowment and the payment of wages in case of student attendance. Architecture of the Library; Library was built between two buttresses on the south nave of Hagia Sophia. This type of architecture differentiates Hagia Sophia Library from other libraries. The Library consists of entrance hall, reading hall, light stony ground and Hazine-i Kutub (place where the books were preserved) combining along a corridor. Entrance hall and reading hall with reticulate facade are located indoor; Hazine-i Kutub section is located outdoor of Hagia Sophia. Considering this different type of architectural design, the structure might be gradable as unique. In this article, an assessment is done by explaining the restoration in 2012-2013 after the brief historical process of the Library with its significant architectural type. The subject restoration was done in accordance with the reports of Istanbul Restoration and Conservation Center Laboratories and controlled by Istanbul Special Provincial Directorate of Administration and Istanbul Directorate of Surveying and Monuments
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
An Unknown Example of Figurative Art in Ottoman Architecture: Mahmud I Aqueduct
No full textOnsekizinci yüzyılın ortalarında I. Mahmud (1730 - 1754) tarafından inşa ettirilen su kemeri (inşa tarihi 1731) ve üzerinde yer alan hayvan figürlerinin kökeni bu yazının konusunu oluşturmaktadır. Süsleme programı açısından oldukça zengin olan yapı, hayvan figürlü konsol taşları ile özel bir öneme sahiptir. Bu figürler Türk kültüründe, İslamiyet öncesinden günümüze kadar uzanan dini sembolizm ile ilişkilendirilebilir. Eski Türk inançlarında hayvanlara özel bir anlam verildiği ve Türk sanatında bütün hayvan figürlerinin mitolojik ve sembolik birer anlamları olduğu bilinmektedir. Anadolu Selçuklu mimarisinin farklı örneklerinde karşımıza çıkan hayvan figürlerinin de bu inanışların bir yansıması olduğu kabul edilir. Kullanılış şekilleri ve sembolize ettikleri anlamlar bakımından I. Mahmud Kemeri'ndeki figürler, Anadolu Selçuklu mimarlığındaki örneklerle ilişkilendirilebilir ve bu geleneğin geç bir yansıması olarak değerlendirilebilir.The subject of this article is the figures and their origins on the aqueduct which was commissioned by Mahmud I (1730 - 1754) during mid eighteenth century. The structure is quite rich with regards to ornamentation, especially sculptural corbels in the form of animal head. The animal figures on the Mahmud I Aqueduct can be based on a deep religious symbolism extending in Turkish culture from pre-Islamic beliefs to the present. It is known that in old Turkish beliefs animals were given a special meaning, and in Turkish art, all figures within the context of animal style had symbolic and mythological meanings, especially the animal figures of Anatolian Seljuk architecture, which are seen on different types of buildings, are considered as the reflection of these beliefs. Due to the form of usage and the animals they symbolize, the figures on the Mahmud I Aqueduct (built in 1731) can be related to Anatolian Seljuk architecture and can be considered as a late example of this deep-rooted tradition
