Race, Ritual and Oral Poetry About OAv. dąmōiš uruuaēsē apə̄mē, apə̄mē aŋhə̄uš uruuaēsē, and YAv. ustəme uruuaēse gaiiehe
No full textThe present article deals with some similar Old Avestan syntagmatic sequences concerning the "the last turning point of creation” or "of the existence", in their liturgic, esoteric and metaphoric textual dimension. The archaic background of these formulkas is evient in the continuous evocation of the race (particularly on horses or chariots), which is subtly connected with the search for a ritual victory over the antagonists forces of evil. This study concerns also the Young Avestan re-elaboration of these images and their later continuation within the Pahlavi framework
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
