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
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

Ethnicity in Literature: A Study of the Select Short Fiction of Ireland and Kashmir.
Full text linkEthnic literature is the body of written works by people from a distinctive culture, language, or religion. Afro Caribbean and African writers—Aime Cesaire, Frantz Fanon, Chinua Achebe, for instance, have made significant contribution to the theory and practice of ethnic criticism that explores the traditions, sometimes suppressed or underground, of ethnic literary activity. They provide a critique of representations of ethnic identity as found within the majority culture. More recently, scholars like Henry Louis Gates, Toni Morrison, and Kwame Anthony
Appiah have drawn attention to the problems inherent in applying theoretical models derived from Euro-centric paradigms to minority works of literature, exploring new interpretive strategies for understanding the vernacular traditions of ethnic/racial groups that have been historically marginalized by dominant cultures.Digital copy of Thesis.University of Kashmir
The Original and the Translated: A Comparative Study of English Translations of Mahjoor’s Poems by T.N.Kaul and Trilokinath Raina
Full text linkMahjoor is one of the most prominent pioneers of modern Kashmiri poetry. He remains a household name in the whole of Kashmir and is known as „The Poet of Kashmir‟. Born in a religiously respected Muslim family—known as Peerzada family—on August 11, 1887 at Mitrigaam, a picturesque district of the valley of Kashmir, he was named as Ghulam Ahmad Peerzada. The boy received his earlier education from his father Peer Abdullah Shah, a Persian and Arabic scholar and a village Maulvi (preacher) by profession. Later on, he was sent to a maktab (religious school) in the neighbouring township of Tral where his association with Abdul Ghani Aashaq, an able Kashmiri poet and scholar, kindled his imagination and produced in him a burning passion for writing poetry
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
Cultural Retrieval as a Dramatic Strategy: A Study of Girish Karnad’s Tughlaq, Tale-Danda and Bali-The Sacrifice
Full text linkThe Indian English literature has developed as an important, vibrant and versatile body of writing and has drawn attention of the global audiences. It has made a substantial progress by encapsulating various issues that India has been facing from time to time. It has grappled with the onslaughts of colonialism, globalization, and Indian socio-political and cultural issues. It drew its impetus from Indian sensibility, philosophy, sociology, psychology, history, myths and religious beliefs and attracted attention of the people across the boundaries.
When one goes through the history of Indian English literature, one comes to know that the Indian English Drama (hereafter, IED) has made a little progress than the Indian English Novel and Poetry. Diachronically speaking, the IED made its debut before the rest of the two afore-mentioned genres but failed to keep pace with them because of some reasons which will be discussed in detail in Chapter III. Unlike Novel and Poetry, Drama cannot be restricted to reading only. It is a genre which needs a theatre for its enactment. This lack of theatricality in India has proved detrimental for the IED as well as dramatists. The second problem that this genre faced was that of the English language. English being a foreign language did not cater to the needs of Indian people who knew very little of the language. The dialogues in English from Indian characters seemed unconvincing because they lacked in Indian flavour,
temperament and sensibility. Despite this failure of Indian English, the IED has attracted the attention of various writers who contributed a lot to this genre and infused life in it. Contemporary Playwrights like Vijay Tendulkar, Mahesh Dattani, Mohan Rakesh and Girish Karnad have done a commendable job in this field and it is worthwhile to explore its various dimensions and features
