Spectacle of Man-yi Recognition of different culture in mid-Tang
Get PDFAll literati who represent the mid-Tang, Han Yu 韓愈, Liu Zong-yuan 柳宗元, Liu Yu-xi 劉禹錫, Bai Ju-yi 白居易, and Yuan Zhen 元稹, had been relegated to the Man-yi (different ethnic groups in the south) region. It is a new characteristic of their poetry to minutely describe the peculiar climate, ecology, and customs found only in the Man-yi region. Such peculiar nature and customs had been almost wholly disregarded before high-Tang 盛唐, but with the coming of mid-Tang, starting with Han Yu who had been relegated to Yang-shan 陽山, each literati actively describes these in long poems that explain their own circumstance, from the past to present. The description of scenery and expression of feeling are also respectively different. Roughly speaking, Han Yu and Liu Zong-yuan dislike and reject nature and the customs in these different regions. On the other hand, as for Liu Yu-xi, Bai Ju-yi and Yuan Zhen, their curiosity towards the different region exceeds their contempt. Moreover, they are interested in the industry and culture. Having laid out these poems in chronological order, from Han Yu poems to Bai Ju-yi and Yuan Zhen poems, there is an obvious tendency towards a decrease of contempt. In the poetry compassed during such relegation, it was conventional to express one's sorrow. However, their poetry of mid-Tang could not be contained within this convention. It is a new type of expression of feeling to describe interest, while at the same time admitting the value of peculiar nature and customs unique to the Man-yi culture, which in turn leads to a recognition of one's own value. Such a change in recognition towards the Man-yi culture plays a major role when the relegated literati were in the process of overcoming their sorrow. Moreover, this style of expression adopted by the literati of the Song dynasty

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
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
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
