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
Touching Art: The Art Museum as a Picture Book, and the Picture Book as Art
Full text linkBased on a keynote address delivered at the 2017 Child and the Book conference in Valencia on interdisciplinary links between children’s literature and the arts, this essay draws on its author’s experience first as a children’s literature scholar focused on picture books and then as a volunteer guide and docent for school tours in art museums. It explores how visits to art museums might be enriched by thinking about the art in them in the ways in which we think about the art in children’s picture books- as images illuminated by a context of nearby images and the verbal language they appear in connection with. After an exploration of common assumptions about how to look at art in museums and a consideration of the ways in which our knowledge of picture books might influence our interactions with that art, the essay also briefly considers how museum art might influence our understanding and appreciation of picture books.Key words: art, picture books, museums, galleries, context
ResumenBasado en la conferencia plenaria pronunciada en 2017 en el congreso en Valencia The Child and the Book sobre vínculos interdisciplinares entre la literatura infantil y las artes, este artículo utiliza la experiencia del autor como guía voluntario y docente para visitas escolares a museos artísticos. Explora cómo las visitas a museos de arte pueden ser enriquecidas pensando acerca del arte que contienen de la manera en la que pensamos sobre el arte en los álbumes para niños y niñas – como imágenes iluminadas por un contexto de imágenes cercanas y por el lenguaje verbal que aparece en conexión con ellas. Tras una exploración de las asunciones habituales sobre cómo mirar el arte en los museos y una consideración sobre las maneras en las que nuestro conocimiento de los álbumes puede influir nuestras interacciones sobre este arte, el ensayo considera también brevemente cómo el arte de los museos puede influir nuestra comprensión y apreciación de los álbumes.Palabras clave: arte, álbumes, museos, galerías, contexto.
ResumBasat en la conferencia plenària pronunciada el 2017 al congrés a València The Child and the Book sobre vincles interdisciplinaris entre la literatura infantil i les arts, aquest article utilitza l’experiència de l’autor com a guia voluntari i com a docent per a visites escolars a museus artístics. Explora com les visites a museus d’art poden ser enriquides tot pensant sobre l’art que hi contenen de la manera en la que pensem sobre l’art en els àlbums per a infants – com a imatges il·luminades per un context d’imatges properes i pel llenguatge verbal que apareix en connexió amb elles. Després d’una exploració de les assumpcions habituals sobre com mirar l’art als museus i una consideració sobre les maneres en les quals el nostre coneixement dels àlbums pot influir les nostres interaccions sobre aquest art, l’assaig considera també breument com l’art dels museus pot influir la nostra comprensió i apreciació dels àlbums.Paraules clau: art, àlbums, museus, galeries, context
