YH-071
No full textThis is a traditional story narrated by YZQ. It was recorded by Nathaniel Sims. The content of the story is summarized as follows:
A long time ago there was a family of people. Someone in the family died and so they sent the son to go buy funeral paper. The son was rather stupid and couldn’t remember how to say funeral paper. He said to himself, what am I to do? I won’t remember how to say it and if it’s written down I can read it anyway. So his father told him to walk down the road to Maoxian repeating “funeral paper” all the way. He did this but along the way, a pheasant flew by and startled him. He accidentally changed the words he was repeating and after this, he repeated gibberish syllables all the way down to Maoxian. He got to the store and asked for [wutʂɨtʂɨ] (nonsense). The store owner couldn’t understand what he wanted and asked him? What do you mean [wutʂɨtʂɨ] what do you want? The son couldn’t think and so he said, “Banging on a sheepskin drum and sheep bleating” (making a reference to funerary preparations). Only by his doing this was the shopkeeper able to understand that he wanted to buy funeral paper.

YH-029
No full textThis is a personal narrative told by YZQ to Nathaniel Sims on May 3rd, 2012 in Ka’er Village, Yonghe Valley, Mao County, Rngaba Prefecture, Sichuan Province, China. An English translation of the narrative is as follows:
I went to Napu, to buy some gastrodia (a type of medicinal root). The sky became dark and when I was coming home. As I got to the bend in the road here, the wind began blowing (onomatopoeia) and there was the sound of a dog barking (onomatopoeia) that followed behind me. I didn’t see a dog. I didn’t see a person. I had encountered a demon. I became scared and picked up a white rock. I chased the demon away by throwing rocks. After I did this, it wasn’t there anymore. I slowly went on up the road. Having arrived at the bottom of my house, I was still scared. I looked back and couldn’t see anything. I had a cold sweat. My clothes were soaked. So I picked up a rock and called out to my spirit. By doing this I called my spirit back to myself. I took the rock out of my pocket and put it inside a pillow without my family knowing this. Seven days later, when making the bed, the rock fell out. They asked me why is there a rock in your pillow? I told them I went down to Napu that night and encountered a demon, got scared, picked up a rock and called my own spirit back to myself. If I had not done this I would go mad, and be violent. Because I brought my spirit back with this rock, I didn’t have any nightmares and have not encountered another demon. The demons are scared of me.

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
