Romantyczne science fiction. Przyszłość według Teodora Tripplina
Full text linkThe present article aims to show the nineteenth century vision of the future in one of the first Polish science fiction novels, A Journey around the Moon (Podróż po Księżycu), written in 1858 by Teodor Tripplin. In the first (theoretical) part, the author characterizes the science fiction genre, highlighting a distinctive role of technological invention and scientific method, as well as locating the story in a future perspective. A concise description of the Polish science fiction genesis allows for relating Tripplin’s novel to a wider context and, hence, for considering it as a unique phenomenon in Polish literature. In the second part of the article, the author discusses Tripplin’s vision of the future, which is classified into three categories in the novel: 1) the future of technological inventions, 2) the future of medicine development, and 3) the future of society.Celem niniejszego artykułu będzie zaprezentowanie XIX-wiecznej wizji przyszłości, ukazanej w jednej z pierwszych polskich powieści fantastycznonaukowych – Podróży po Księżycu (1858) autorstwa Teodora Tripplina (1812–1881). W pierwszej, teoretycznej części artykułu przedstawiony zostanie gatunek science fiction, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem dystynktywnej roli wynalazku technologicznego, metody naukowej oraz osadzenia fabuły w realiach przyszłościowych. Skrótowe omówienie początków polskiej fantastyki naukowej pozwoli na osadzenie Podróż po Księżycu w szerszym kontekście, a co za tym idzie uznanie jej za ewenement w literaturze krajowej. W drugiej części artykułu skupiono się na ukazaniu wizji przyszłości, wykreowanej przez Teodora Tripplina w Podróży po Księżycu w podziale na trzy kategorie obecne w utworze 1) przyszłość wynalazków technologicznych, 2) przyszłość w rozwoju medycyny, 3) przyszłość społeczeństwa
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Science Fiction Genre Determinants in Teodor Tripplin’s A Sleepwalker’s Journey around the Moon
Full text linkThe article aims to analyse the dilogy Lunatyka podróż po Księżycu (A Sleepwalker’s Journey around the Moon) in terms of science fiction genre determinants present therein. Mikołajczuk verifies whether the stories about Serafin Boliński, considered as one of the very first Polish science fiction text, are legitimately treated as such. In this aspect a so-called embryonic stage of a foundational piece of work plays a crucial role as this novel is not a typical representative of science fiction. Many fictional and nonfictional elements of Lunatyka podróż po Księżycu may disqualify it from this genre. Presenting the origins of science fiction in the worldwide literature and its definition allows to indicate a moment when this genre appeared in the Polish history of literatury and how it evolved in due course. The second part of the article discusses crucial science fiction genre features that can be found in Tripplin’s dylogy. Based on them, Mikołajczuk strives to prove that Tripplin’s work ought to be included in Polish science fiction canon as it employs a number of distinguishable science fiction tropes
Variations on the Author
Full text link“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 linkWe 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
Full text linkWe 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
