    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

    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

    [[abstract]]Musical has become a very popular performing form in Taiwan and all the theatre companies want to produce musical nowadays. However, musical presents a unique challenge for actors and actress. To achieve directors’ expectations, they need to be capable of good acting, good singing, and good physical movement. Aiming at the theatre companies that produce and perform in Taiwan area, this thesis selects “Just Like A Family” by VM Theatre Company as an example. And choose the songs of leading actress, Hao Mei-li, for presentation. Through the script analysis the thesis attempts to: find the position of leading actress in this play; realize the relationship between Hao Mei-li and other characters; and discover the clue of Hao Mei-li’s personality. In addition, the thesis contains a character autobiography to build up the family background of Hao Mei-li; finding pictures to depict the appearance of this character; and study on the costume and posture and gesture of Hao Mei-li to make this character more impressive. My presentation will be performed by short drama, and I have selected six major songs of Hao Mei-li in “Just Like A Family.” The songs are respectively: “Fawn”, “Mix Tap”, “How Can It Be”, “The True Love does Come”, “He’s the Wind, and I’m the Flower” and “Forgiveness” to present the evolution of the relationship of Hao Mei-li and Ceng Cheng Gong. Their journey is from love at first sight to ambiguous, to falling in love, to misunderstanding, and finally end up in happy ending. This thesis will investigate the interpretation of songs, subtext of characters, and the relationship between music and ambiance of the songs.
