Morris E. Boss letters, W.0078
No full textAbstract: Thirteen letters written by Morris E. Boss and members of the Boss family of Binghamton, New York.Scope and Content Note: These thirteen letters were written between 1861 and 1865 by Morris E. Boss of Binghamton, New York, and members of his family. Most of the letters were sent from Morris E. Boss to his brother, Homer B. Boss. A member of the Sixty-first New York Infantry, Morris's letters include brief accounts of the Battle of Seven Pines and Chancellorsville. His letters also describe camp life, including notable discussions of payroll backlogs, the draft, and the execution of deserters. In his last letter, dated June 20, 1865, Morris describes the discharge process and notes that he is owed $575.00 in back pay.The remaining letters are written by or addressed to other members of the Boss family; these letters also relay war news and updates on Morris's health and wellbeing. A letter from Charles Boss to Homer B. Boss written in December 1861 discusses Morris's enlistment and lists the names of other local recruits. Another letter from S. E. Sarrabu presumably addressed to Morris's sister Louisa M. Boss (incorrectly addressed as S. M. Boss) reports that Morris is missing and presumed injured after a shell exploded near him during a skirmish at Appomattox.Transcriptions of the letters are included, although there is no information as to who provided the transcriptions.Biographical/Historical Note: The son of carriage maker Ela W. Boss and Louisa Butler Boss, Morris E. Boss was born on April 7, 1844, in Fabius, New York. On November 6, 1861, he enlisted in Company I in the New York Sixty-first Infantry, later transferring to Company F. During the war, Morris received two commissions, advancing to full corporal on March 11, 1863, and full second lieutenant on December 15, 1864. He was discharged on July 15, 1865.After the war, Boss returned to New York, settling in Binghamton. City directories published between 1883 and 1899 list Boss as the owner and proprietor of a a number of hotels, billiard parlors, and saloons. Boss died between 1899 and 1900
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
