Dziedzictwo mistrzów: uwagi o życiu i pracy z Profesorami Carolyn Ellis i Arthurem P. Bochnerem
Get PDFOn January 25th, 2019, The University of South Florida sponsored an event to honor the legacy of Carolyn Ellis and Arthur Bochner as they retire after more than 85 years (combined) teaching. In this paper, research collaborators, students, and friends present their testimonials commemorating their shared lives with Professors Ellis and Bochner. A collection of short stories reveals “official” and “non-official” (in some cases very personal) experiences as they were lived through, inviting readers to see how academic intergenerational relationships might develop as contextually situated and morally important.
25 stycznia 2019 r., w Uniwersytecie Południowej Florydy miało miejsce uroczyste spotkanie poświęcone aktywności akademickiej Carolyn Ellis i Arthura Bochnera, którzy po ponad osiemdziesięciu pięciu latach (łącznie) pracy dydaktycznej przeszli na emeryturę. Tekst został przygotowany przez naukowych współpracowników, studentów oraz przyjaciół Profesorów Ellis i Bochnera, by upamiętnić i uhonorować Ich dzieło, i stanowi zbiór krótkich historii. Ukazuje on zarówno „oficjalne”, jak i „nieoficjalne” (w niektórych wypadkach bardzo osobiste) doświadczenia związane z życiem i pracą Profesorów. Opowieści te zapraszają czytelników do świata akademickich relacji międzypokoleniowych, uwikłanych kontekstowo i ważnych z etycznego punktu widzenia.
 
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

Incarnational Literacy: Multimodal Explorations through Virtual Reality and Transformational Autoethnography
No full textIncarnational literacy is a multimodal, maker-centered, arts-based literacy engagement. As an emerging method and theoretical orientation, it incorporates core principles and transformative tools from the domains of creativity, arts-based inquiry, literacy, and spirituality. This experimental, multimodal dissertation chronicles the conception and ongoing development of incarnational literacy through a series of autoethnographic narratives, demonstrating the existential benefits of the integrated practice of artmaking and literacy engagements. This study also highlights the role and function of videogames and virtual reality experiences, revealing the benefits of introspective gameplay as tools of inquiry and meaning-making - further enriching the developing practice and domain of incarnational literacy
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

LEGO Infused Qualitative Research
No full textIn what ways the use of LEGO can deepen or enhance the field of qualitative research? How playing with LEGO in qualitative research courses may guide, inform, and innovate instructional practices and learning outcomes? What happens when LEGO blocks become the primary teaching tools in qualitative methods courses? The purpose of this session is to engage and inspire qualitative researchers, practitioners, and students by revealing the potential uses and applications of Lego in the context of qualitative inquiry. Through this workshop, participants will explore the various methods of using LEGO in qualitative research, focusing on LEGO both as an instructional and learning tool. Participants will also learn how the concepts and methodology of Lego Serious Play (LSP) can be adopted and used in qualitative research courses. Lego Serious Play in the qualitative classroom can foster collective creativity, flow states through play, and the benefits of learning through embodied practices. During this workshop, participants will learn how LEGO can play a creative and instrumental role to support learning, content acquisition, and instruction. Participants will also have the opportunity to participate in guided activities to experience how LEGO may stimulate and nurture new ways of learning about qualitative research
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
