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
Repetition and not Parallelism as the Determinant of Poetry in the Hebrew Bible. A Case Study of Biblical Story of Creation (Gen 1)
No full textThe article points to new research on the subject of poetics in the Bible and argues against the thesis that the basic indicator of poetry and poetic texts in the Bible is parallelism.According to the author, repetition is such an indicator. An analysis of the biblical story of creation of the world was used as the case study (Gen 1)
Biblia i nauka. Siedem refleksji inspirowanych myślą ks. Michała Hellera
Full text linkThe aim of the article is to show some areas where the results of exegesisand biblical theology should be confronted with the latest discoveries ofscience on the world, nature, evolution, the human being, the brain, free will,psychology and morality. The author compares, shows difficulties arisingfrom, and attempts to reconcile Christian anthropology with the image ofman that emerges from well-established scientific truths. This paper is anintroduction and an invitation to a discussion on this topic
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
Próba nowego spojrzenia na problematykę wokół słowa „Kohelet”
Full text linkThe Book of Ecclesiastes poses numerous complex puzzles for the reader, and although it has been commented on for over 2,000 years, some questions still remain unanswered. One of them is the self-identification of the author as "Qohelet". This term, absent from any other biblical or extra-biblical book of that time, has been interpreted differently. Contemporary interpretations often associate it with a sage writing his work during the Ptolemaic period and his intellectual activity. The aim of this article is to examine the occurrence and meaning of the word "Qohelet" and to verify the assumption that it refers to the actual, anonymous author of the work. During the analysis, it will turn out that "Qohelet" is not a (self-)designation for the actual author of the reflections collected in the book, but a veiled and indirect reference to the unique function of King Solomon, described especially in 1 Kings 8. Despite the feminine form of the word qōhelet, the book is spoken by a man. The feminine verb in Eccl 7:27 should be considered a scribal error and corrected according to the pattern in Eccl 12:8.Księga Koheleta stawia przed czytelnikiem wiele zagadek i choć jest komentowana już od ponad 2000 lat, ciągle na niektóre z nich nie mamy jednoznacznej odpowiedzi. Jedną z nich jest samookreślenie się autora jako „Kohelet”. Słowo to, nieobecne w żadnej innej księdze biblijnej i pozabiblijnej tamtych czasów, bywa różnie interpretowane. Popularne dziś interpretacje wiążą je z mędrcem piszącym swe dzieło w czasach ptolemejskich i jego aktywnością. Celem artykułu będzie przebadanie występowania i znaczenia słowa „Kohelet” oraz weryfikacja założenia, że dotyczy ono właściwego, anonimowego autora dzieła. W trakcie analizy okaże się, że „Kohelet” to nie jest (auto)określenie dla autora rozważań zebranych w księdze, ale zawoalowane i niebezpośrednie nawiązanie do wyjątkowej funkcji króla Salomona, opisanej zwłaszcza w 1 Krl 8. Mimo żeńskiej formy słowa qōhelet, w księdze wypowiada się mężczyzna. Żeński czasownik w Koh 7,27 należy uznać za błąd skryby i poprawić według wzorca z Koh 12,8
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
