    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

    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

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    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

    Interviews by Mark Hannah about life in Cataloochee

    No full text
    This 34-page manuscript is titled “Mark Hannah Interviews” and covers a series of interviews made by Mark Hannah in 1969. The history was collected as part of the Cataloochee History Project that collected photographs, stories, and oral histories about families who lived in the Cataloochee Valley. Today’s Cataloochee Valley is within the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. While, in general, the Great Smoky Mountains region was sparsely populated, the Cataloochee Valley remained an exception. By 1900, the population of Cataloochee had grown to 1,000 residents living in hundreds of log and frame homes."M A R K HANNAH I N T E R V I E W S" Tape 2'1 -69 eataiooehee This tape contains recordings made by MARK HANNAH, Cataloochee Sub-district Ranger, about the sunmer of 1969, as follow: "How Turkey George Palmer Got His · Name" - 1--lARK HANNAH in Cataloochee Valley A bear story by TOM ALEXANDER, of Cataloochee Ranch 92-year old UNCLE THOMAS (no other identification given) three stories HARRY FRYMOYER, former resident of Crestmont lumber town at Big Creek GARFIELD JENKINS, 82 year old former resident of Chestnut Branch at Walnut Bottoms Speed 1-7/8 IPS. Running time approximately SO minutes. (One side of tape only) &IARY RUTH CHII.ES "The Transcriber" I hope the identification given this tape is correct. The date of "summer of 1969" was arrived at: The recordings were made while Bob Madden was here: P. 0. Box 351 GATLINBURG. TENNESSEE 1. It is Bob Madden's voice giving instructions as to how to use the tape recorder, the first thing on the tape proper, 2. The marking on the original box containing the tape (this tape has been re-reeled onto a 5-inch rather than a 7-inch reel) is in the same handwriting as other tapes by Bob Madden. It was made in the summer: 1. A whip-poor-will is whipping in one recording, and the whip­poor- will doesn't whip here except in the summer. 2. A recording was made at the Big Creek campground, and the Big Creek campground is open only during the summer. 3. One of thE~ speakers says he was "here in July." Bob Madden was here from February 1968 to March 1970. Hence he was here in the surruners of 1968 and 1969 only. The 1969 is deduced from a statement by one of those interviewed that he was coming back in '70. Therefore, the date is surmised to be summer of 1969. The first recording has no identification other than it is being made in Cataloochee Valley, and that's where Mark Hannah was. The voice sounds like that of Mark Hannah at the end of the tape (except he held the microphone closer to his mouth in the last recording). Tom Alexander is identified from: 1. One of those in the party addressed him as "Mr. Tom." 2. He made reference to taking pack trips to Ice Water Springs under the sponsorship of the American Forestry Association. Tom Alexander was the only one who did that. 3. It just sounds like Tom Alexander! (As I remember his voice) There is no clue as to who Uncle Thomas was, nor where or when the recording was made. Except it must have been made at his home, judging by the background noises. Harry Frymoyer gives his name at the end of his recording, but he slurs it (as we all are prone to do). Later on Mark Hannah more distinctly pronounces it as "Frymoyeru so I hope that's the way you spell it. Garfield Jenkins is identified in the body of his recording and at the end thereof. In the middle of the Jenkins recording is a story how to make a turkey pen. This is unidentified, but it doesn't sound to me like Mr. Jenkins nor like Mark Hannah either one (it is too fast for either one). So I don't know who told that story. . - G R E AT S ;~ .• C l ~ Y NATIONAL ·.-., ~.....,. :'i I OUNTAINS PARK Interviews P.age i KEY This recording is a series of stories, as listed on the title page, for the most part uninterrupted. Any interruptions are indented five spaces. For the most part the indentations were remarks of Mark Hannah, who was doing the recording. This transcript has been made verbatim et literatim. There has been NO editing whatsoever. Attempt has been made to put on paper as nearly as possible the color and flavor of the diction of the speaker. To do this in some instances phonetic spelling has been used, Punctuation is used to indicate the speech rather than according to the rules of English composition. The comma is used where the speaker paused; the period where he stopped; and where there is no punctuation the speaker continued without pausing or stopping. Words written with a "-" between the letters, e. g. "a-n-d, 11 indicate that the word was drawn out by the speaker and sound like they end in an "uh, 11 but the "uh11 sound was not a separate syllable.

MARK HANNAH: i) This is Cataloochee Valley the land of pure water and many ridges. You know how Turkey George Palmer got his name? Once upon a time he was a little boy, an', left his home, at the old Thomas Palmer place walked up by the mill, and near where the Turkey George home is, or was when it was sold to the park. An' built him a turkey pen. An'. He was only I guess 11 years old at that time. And he baited his corn, f-i-r-s-t, in building / look.. the turkey pen he p-u-t limbs and such like it woulq /natural an' built him a pen up and then dug a little tunnel under the bottom of it, had to be on the sloping hill, before he could make his tunnel. This was at a, turkey crossing where they cross from one ridge to another. They roost on the north side and they feed on the sunny south side. And he baited the place with corn. And th' next day he came back up to see what luck he'd had on th' trapping. So when he looked in the little pen, there was about seven big turkeys. So he had his long hog bar- hog rifle with the long barrel. An' he didn't want to shoot 'em he said he was just too good a sport to shoot those turkeys from the outside so he thought he'd just lay his gun down an' crawl inside, up in under the tunnel and come up the way they did an', into the pen and just wring their ·necks. So when he climbed up in wit~ the turkeys, they were excited and tried to get away. And they would flop from one side of the pen to the other. And in so doing ·they beat, the boy just about to death. He was skinned an' cut an' scratched and everything else. S-o. He finally did kill 'em some way or other. Arid. Got out on the outside and got his turkeys, loaded them up. On his shoulder an' tied their feet together. An' put about, divided 'em up, four on one side an' three on the other, and went back down the road. Toward the home. And when he arrived, in sight of the house, his mother saw him coming. And she said, "Lord look up yonder what a bunch of turkeys coming down the road." Old Man Palmer looked out. "Why," he says, "that's uh George." "Well," she says, "we're both right. We'll just call 'im Turkey George from now on. 11 Said that's, that's where he 's got his name, as Turkey George Palmer. (This story just slurs into the next without any break) ~rk Hannah Interviews 3 TOM ALEXANDER ) Appalachian Trail comes along the top of the ridge 'n' bends under the one side of it and goes around the part of it 'n' comes into a little cove of timber over there 'n'. I had one of these pack trips out then. In those days the American Forestry Association used to send a, doctor along on each trip. We had to pay all their expenses. (A whip-poor-will "whipping" loudly nearby) {Laughing and doubling) Well we drove 'em into this Ice Water Spring shelter ca~in, an' they's a grove of trees in the cove there an' we tied the horses up, to the trees. And as we'd ridden in, there was a garbage dum p out there and there was a great big bear on the garbage dump. And. The horses don't like bears anyhow you know. So. \ve got out horses tied up to these trees in this cove. And the ridge was back of the horses, and the trail was on the back side of the ridge here. Well. We had a doctor on the trip. And he had a call of nature an', he had to have a bowel movement (Laughter) and he went back up the trail. Where we'd ridden in. And was squatted down in the trail, out of sight of, the group of course. And. This bear got out of the garbage pit and started around on the side of the hill there 'n', got right above our horses 'n' started down toward them. Well you're not supposed to carry a gun in the park. But, uh, Scot here had a gun. I told 'im to get his gun ready we're going to have trouble. (Laughter) That bear started do~n the, side of the hill right into the horses and the horses were about to tear all the trees down an', I picked up a rock and threw it at 'im and as luck would have it I hit him right between the Hannah eyes. Well. As I did he turned around and went back up the side Qf the hill. And this doctor was around on the back side of the hill. In the trail. (Laughter) And this bear went over the top of the ridge 'n' hit the trail on the other side and started down the trail where the doctor was. Doctor heard a noise he looked around /035/ and that bear coming right down the trail at 'im. Course he had his britches down. (Laughter) Didn't take time to pull up his britches he started down that trail. (Laughter) Came around there where all those people were, our horses (Laughter) Had britches right down around his ankles. (Laughter) Come on around there, you never saw such a sight in your life. (Laughter) Britches down around his ankle he was runnin' around that trail comin' down there. First time I ever seed hobbles, Mr. Tom. (Laughter) He was sure hobbling. (Laughter) Ah that was the funniest thing ever I've known. Fact is the doctor Yeah l'age .5 He says that doctor said he'd recommended lots of things for bowel removal but he'd recommend that un the best. No the funniest thing he said was "That's one time I got caught;. with my britches down." (Laughter) ) Mark Hannah Interviews P~ge UNCLE THONAS \.Je left Cosby 'n' come out by the Low Gap, an', went on over there, it 's some I don't know what time in April it was but anyhow it was in April. An' just me 'n' my daddy. An' we, got over there an' I had an old ragged pair of brogan shoes on. So I, I thought they 's a gonna be th' finest thing in the world, y'know no better sense 'n'. I, he 's out a fishin'. An' I just down an' took my knife, an' cut the top all off of them old brogan shoes. And I said to my se 1 f, I' 11 take therm back an' let Mother, brogan moccasins~ she made made moccasins out of deer hide. An' I 's going take them an' put them in a sack 'n' take 'em back. So we camped right along there sommers, I don't know exactly where. I mean now. But. Well when we waked up next morning, why they 's a snow on the ground,it 's anyhow it 's four inches deep, between four and six inches. An' Paw set in to grurnblin' at me, for cuttin' up my old shoes. Why, I never thought about it, how I 's gonna git back. That never come into my mind. I 's just with him a fishin'. So. We. He he took, had some old tow sacks that we'd tuk our grub over there in. An' he just, cut them up in strips, then he just set 'em in my feet an' he just wrapped 'ern, just as tight as he could wrap 'ern. An' he wrapped both feet in them an', he said he asked me he says "You reckon you c'n make it." "Why," I says "I can make it if you can." So I. We pulled out. Went right up below that branch. And down Cosby to th' horne. An' then he, atter we got there, course my feet was swollen an' as blue as a fish hook. An' he made me, he tol' me t' onwrap 'ern an' git out there in th' snow. An' I says "That'll kill me." "No," he says, "it won't. Git on out there." An'. I didn't do nothin' only just git out in there. An' you know my feet never did frostbite. An'. Never even made me si~k ner nothin.' An'. That's about all I know about that story. Mark Hqnnah Interviews Page 7 How old are you now Uncle Thomas? Well. If I live to see February the 9th I'll be 93 years old. Good! That's a good story. 93 years old the 9th day of February coming. Yeah. 92 past. ) I I must've been 10 or 12 years old I don't know exactly. Made that time. But. We had th'. Why, my daddy worked in yander on Freezeland, an' he just come home 'bout ever' two or three weeks. An' to bring us grub you know an' somethin' to buy it with. A~. We lived about one mile. Uh from Panther Creek where I, where I, I mean, we we lived around in the Tennessee line at that time. An'. So. We. Old Man Will he'd traded Old Man Turner Price out of a bear. An' they 's small, weren't too big. But my daddy come in we'd left home 'bout a mile aroun' What did he give 'im for the bears? What did he pay 'im? Ah I, I think it five dollars. Alarm clock did you say? Oh. W's old weight clock. One of these old weight clock. Oh weight clocks. Yeah. Old timer. An'. My daddy, when he come home an' us gone around there, why he knowed that un was closest house to. He knowed we 'd the~e 'round there. An' we ~all in th' bed asleep. An' he come up he said he knocked an' knocked on the door 'n', nobody answered 'im~ An' he just pulled out his pistol an' shot five time right in the air. Them bears was a little old, log, crib there. An' they had him, had 'em chainedto it, just a little old small chain. An' when he shot that scar.:cl ~hem bears 'n', they tore loose, an' they just run agin that door. An' they knocked that door down, an' into th' house they come. An'. Old 0 Aunt Harriet we called 'er, she said "Git out a here Will an' git them bears tearing everthing up in this house." An' he, he come out a there, his shirt tail. An' we 's trying to git 'em out, she's raisin' cain y' know an' he 's th' old man w's trying to git 'em out of the house. An' they scratched his legs in his shirt tail. They just reach up that away y' know layin' 'em there y'know scared, they 's bringin' straw bed an' all down out through the slats. An' so, he just, he finally got, Paw finally helped 'im git the bears out. An' they, they finally got 'em out. An'. He, Old Man Will said "Harriet11 said "there's never nothing" says "I ain't gonna keep them things no longer. 11 He says "I'm a gonna trade them." Paw asked him what he'd take y' know. So. Next morning, we we stayed th' rest of th' night with 'im. An' Paw bought th', the old bear th' two bears. For that old weight clock, an' five dollars in money. An' we took 'em home with us. An' took 'em right, _over to our home. An' then later the Old Man Will, he moved off from that ho~e there, an' my daddy then rented it an' moved back in th' same house where we first contact with the bear. An' we kept 'em, I don't~ we kept 'em seven or eight years. An'. Well when I 1 d git up of a, you know I just tho- I didn't think no more about a ) bear, at that time, a botherin' me ner nothing. An' I'd. We always hunted the cattle an' salted on Saturday, an' we'd go plumb in to the Deep Gap ?untin 1 cattle. Well when we gettin' ready to go huntin' the cattle, I'd slip out an' unsnap th' bear, and they'd just take out atter us just like ~you, just like a old shepherd dog. They 'd foller us all day long 'n' we 'd then we 'd have to stop an' wait on 'em. They 'd find an old jacket nest er bumblebee nest. They warn't no leavin' there til they got it. So ' · -,~ .. -~ .. - , we just sat down sit around there til they got it eat up. Killed. An' Mark Hannah : ~-~--··.~ ' ';-··~ -~·~~; '._ .,.." -·- ., i~?,/·.<::~:.::~~(:J·~- -~' .

An' ~ ) we come in one evenint with some that Spanish Oak Gap. That 's just about one mile up on the hill from where I lived y' know. But that 's right on the Tennessee 'n' North Carolina line. The line come right along that old road right that place. An'. They 'sa big uh, oh hit 'shalf as big as this yard that mudhole was. They in makin' the road they 'd dipped it out right in there some way and the water just ketched in there. An'. I I 's ahead of my brother. An' he 's took for th' bears about the bear somrners. An', I come to that mudhole. An'. I oh, 'fore I got as fur as ~ them cars there, why the bees 's just in a swarm around that mudhole~ An'. I said to myself, I'll just wait on bears an' my brother. An' I 's a laying over on the bank, ~tchin' them bees. An' just out, out this way, from where the mudhole was, why, there 's an old chestnut tree had fell in the fork of a big water oak just like that away. And hit had broke off right just out, two or three feet, an'. Well. I, I found the bees before my brother got up there. They 's one leg come to that mudhole them bears they 's trampin, hot, an' they just both fell into that water. Kallap, kallap, kallap. Wallerin' in that water. An', I think to myself, they 's in the mudhole, an' I thinks to myself an' I couldn't never see where the bees was going in. An' oh it 's about that slantin' just clean enough I could clum it up whup it. I went on up there an' wasn't a thinking about, if; didn't come in my mind that the bears was gonna find out, but you see me goin' on up there, the bear went to see me~. An' I oh he w'd here he come, right up that drag just, a tuk on up that tree. Well he broke off there just out in front of the beehole. Quick as he got to where them bees a goin' in he just, he just held that away. And he 's a gain', he jerk out chunks as big as my arm. An' he just kep' a gnawin' an' I had no place to ~o. I couldn't go up no £udder that w's broke off. So. I there I was an' the bees got to stingin' me. Well. I seed there 's no chance, never thought 'bout 'em bitin' me er nothin'. An' I just got down on 'im, an' commence slidin' I 's just holdin' wool on 'im 'n' hair. I slid off 'n' come on down. An' he, then we had to stay there t i l plumb dark nearly. Me 'n' my brother. An'. You know they just he just kep' on eatin'. An' he did, the other un got up there an' he oh he w'd just slap fire out 'er she never got a bite she couldn't get up over 'im. An' couldn't see go around it . An' he. Well I just had to catch that hair an' hold the hair ah' slide back off on his hind end. An' come on down. My brother said to me he said "You know Thomas" he said "Daddy '11 be a huntin' us sure as sun a goin' over the peak." He says "Daddy '11 be a huntin' us. II Well we, an' we stayed there til the bears done eat all the honey 'n' licking the hole. So we, we tuk we went a runnin', just as hard as we could run. An' we didn't go, I'll say far as from here to that gap up there, we met my daddy a comin'. A runnin'. He 'sa climbin' that hill just like one thing. He says when he commence he 's cussin' up a storm. He said "Where in hell you boys been'?" 1-Je, we told him the bears went up I~ a tree there an' was eatin' the honey an' we, no way to come, we wouldn't ~ come off an ' leave 'em.

Said, "Tommy git out of there an' make a fire." Well I knowed to come. So I. I lit out, made a fyar. An' he said, "I want you to go down there th' stable."
