Martin Jackson and The Melbourne Jazz Cooperative; how they influenced the Melbourne modern jazz scene.
No full textThis thesis primarily investigates the Melbourne Jazz Cooperative (MJC) from the years 1982 to 1993. However, it begins by documenting the history of Martin Jackson, founder and chairman of the MJC, and ends with the history of the MJC from 1982 to 1993. This thesis presents a case study of how an individual functions in a modern arts organization and describes how the individual navigates, through interaction with funding bodies and artists, the beneficial outcomes that such organisations can provide and the problems they face in contemporary Australia. The study argues that acknowledging the benefits of the arts to society and of arts organizations themselves is more necessary than ever in contemporary Australia where public perception of the arts is conflicted and misunderstood and funding support for the arts is highly unstable. The thesis argues through the case study example, that the MJC made curatorial descisions that provided support and opportunities for Australian jazz musicians to meet each other, to meet international artists, and also how it provided avenues for cultural transmission and exchange that enabled an even greater number and range of performances for these musicians. The research component of the thesis employed unstructured interviews with Martin Jackson, along with historical method corresponding to Bruno Nettl’s ‘fifth stage’ of ethnomusicology (Nettl 2005). This research reveals, for example, that Martin Jackson had to sacrifice his own musical development and artistic career to fulfill specialized roles in the MJC because there was no funding available for expert assistance. This thesis concludes that, in order to fully benefit artists and the community at large, arts organizations must be supported by expertise of specialists in the fields of Arts Administration. Without this support, the artists themselves must contribute too much of their time to administrative work at the expense of their art
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
