    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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 link
    We 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

    Das Formalprinzip der Pastoraltheologie und die Erarbeitung einer angemessenen Konzeption der Katechetik

    No full text
    Zasadniczym celem tego opracowania jest przypomnienie refleksji nad katechechetyką w pismach sługi Bożego ks. Franciszka Blachnickiego (1921-1987). Ten szczegółowy przedmiot teologii pastoralnej związał integralnie z wypracowaniem zasady formalnej teologii pastoralnej. Jeśli nie dokonamy tego, to nie można mówić o katechetyce, katechezie, przepowiadaniu katechetycznym słowa. Można, co najwyżej, mówić o pedagogice religijnej, nauce religii, metodyce i dydaktyce nauczania religii. Katechetyka jako szczegółowa dyscyplina teologii pastoralnej zyskała w nurcie eklezjologicznym tej dyscypliny swe należne miejsce, stając się nauką o kościelnym katechumenacie jako funkcji Kościoła zmierzającej do jego urzeczywistniania się w katechumenach. Szczególnie ważnym dla takiego jej rozumienia i praktycznej realizacji okazało się wydanie księgi liturgicznej Ordo initiationis christianae adultorum. Na podstawie zawartych tam sugestii ks. Franciszek Blachnicki, założyciel i twórca ruchu eklezjalnego pod nazwą Ruch Światło-Życie, wypracował program formacji deuterokatechumenalnej, który stanowi jedną z prób przeciwdziałania sytuacji kryzysu, w jakim znajduje się teologia pastoralna i zbawcza posługa Kościoła w Polsce. To działanie w swej strukturze doktrynalnej i formacyjnej tak się rozrosło, że Sługa Boży przedstawił ideę, ale jej nie opracował, która urasta do rangi tworzenia nowej podstawy zasady duszpasterstwa, z której należałoby odczytać i przejąć podstawowe prawa życia i rozwoju wspólnoty chrześcijan. Chodzi o postawienie postulatu wypracowania nowej zasady teologii pastoralnej, katechumenalnej, i wynikającego z niej duszpasterstwa. Jest to problem, który autor tego opracowania zgłasza pod rozwagę środowisku polskich pastoralistów, a więc eklezjologów pastoralnych, homiletyków, katechetyków, liturgistów i teologów pastoralnych społecznych.The point of the elaboration is to remind a reflection on catechetics in publications of Franciszek Blachnicki (1921-1987). He integrally involved proper conception of catechetics with the formal principles of pastoral theology. Without that connection it is impossible to provide catechesis and catechetical preaching the Word. Because it is very specific: otherwise we can only tell at most about pedagogy of religion, didactics and methodology. Catechesis as detailed pastoral theology discipline gained in the mainstream of the ecclesiology its rightful place, becoming the science of the Church catechumenate as a function of the Church aimed at the accomplishment of the Christians. A particularly important for such her understanding and practical implementation turned out to issue liturgical book Ordo Initiationis christianae Adultorum. On the basis of the suggestions contained therein Franciszek Blachnicki, the founder and creator of the Light-Life Movement, has developed a program of deuterocatechumenal program, which is one of the attempts to counteract the crisis in which finds itself pastoral theology in Poland. This action in its structure and doctrinal formation has grown so that Blachnicki presented the new idea – but it has not developed – that rises to the rank of creating a new base of principles of pastoral care, which should be read and take over the basic rights of survival and development of Christian community. It's about developing a place for principles of new pastoral theology, catechumenal theology, and the pastoral care. It is a problem that the author of that report gives into consideration for the community of Polish pastoral theology, ecclesiology, and catechetics, homiletics and liturgists.Rammentare la riflessione sulla catechesi del Servo di Dio Padre Franciszek Blachnicki è l’obiettivo principale di quest’articolo. La catechetica come una delle discipline di teologia pastorale ha ottenuto nell’ambito di ecclesiologia pastorale il suo giusto posto, diventando la scienza su catecumenato ecclesiastico in quanto funzione della Chiesa perseguita realizzazione della Chiesa in catecumeni. Per tale comprensione ed applicazione pratica ha un particolare rilevante emissione di un libro liturgico Ordo ini¬¬tia¬tionis christianae adultorum. Sulla base dei suggerimenti ivi contenuti padre Blachnicki, fondatore e creatore del movimento ecclesiale chiamato Movimento Luce-Vita, ha sviluppato un programma di formazione deutero-catecumenale, il quale è uno dei tentativi per contrastare la crisi, in cui è la teologia pastorale e la missione salvifica della Chiesa in Polonia.Das grundsätzliche Ziel dieser Arbeit besteht in der Erinnerung an die Gedanken zur Katechetik in den Schriften des Dieners Gottes Franciszek Blachnicki (1921-1987). Diesen besonderen Gegenstand der Pastoraltheologie hat er integral mit der Erarbeitung des Formalprinzips der Pastoraltheologie verbunden. Wenn wir dies nicht tun, kann von Katechetik, Katechese oder katechetischer Wortverkündigung nicht die Rede sein. Man kann dann höchstens von Religionspädagogik, Religionslehre, Methodik und Didaktik des Religionsunterrichts sprechen. Als besondere Disziplin der Pastoraltheologie erlangte die Katechetik in der ekklesiologischen Strömung dieser Disziplin den ihr gebührenden Platz und wurde zur Lehre vom kirchlichen Katechumenat als einer Funktion der Kirche, die deren Verwirklichung in den Katechumenen anstrebte. Als besonders wichtig für dieses ihr Verständnis und ihre praktische Reali-sierung erwies sich die Herausgabe des liturgischen Buches Ordo initiationis christianae adultorum. Auf der Grundlage der dort enthaltenen Suggestionen erarbeitete Pater Franciszek Bla-chnicki, der Gründer und Schöpfer der unter dem Namen Ruch Światło-Życie (Licht und Leben) bekannt gewordenen ekklesialen Bewegung das Programm einer deuterokatechumenalen Formation, welches einen Versuch darstellt, der Krise entgegenzuwirken, in welcher sich die Pasto-raltheologie und der Heilsdienst der Kirche in Polen befindet. Dieses Wirken hat sich in seiner doktrinalen und formativen Struktur so ausgedehnt, dass dieser Diener Gottes eine Idee vor-stellte, die er jedoch nicht herausgearbeitet hat, welche den Rang besitzt, neue Grundlagen des Prinzips der Seelsorge zu schaffen, aus dem die grundlegenden Lebens- und Entwicklungsgesetze der Gemeinschaft der Christen abgelesen und übernommen werden müssten. Es handelt sich um das Postulat, ein neues Prinzip einer katechumenalen Pastoraltheologie und der daraus resultierenden Seelsorge zu erarbeiten. Das ist ein Problem, auf das der Autor dieser Abhandlung den Kreis der polnischen Pastoralisten, Homiletiker, Katechetiker, Liturgisten und sozialen Pastoralheologen aufmerksam machen will

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    Full text link
    We 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

    We 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

    Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902

    No full text
    In Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
