The autobiography of Ozaki Yukio the struggle for constitutional government in Japan
"Ozaki Yukio, who was returned to his seat in the Japanese Diet twenty-five times, served in that body from its inception in 1890 to 1953. He was several times a cabinet member and, for ten years, mayor of Tokyo. A strong advocate of representative government, he both witnessed and propelled Japan's transformation from a late feudal society to a modern state. His autobiography, available in English for the first time, gives an insider's account of key episodes and leaders over seven decades of Japanese history."--BOOK JACKET

Ozaki Yukio and Inukai Tsuyoshi – Leaders of the Movement Against Katsura Tarō’s Government
A bureaucratic government announcing liberalization of its policies may usually expect some public favor. The outcry of anger that followed the formation of the third Katsura Tarō administration in 1912, however, proves this not always to be the case. Ozaki Yukio and Inukai Tsuyoshi, two ‘gods of constitutionalism,’ led the popular movement that resulted in Katsura’s resignation not long after he had declared to renounce the cooperation with his clique, and create his own platform. Focused on the relations between Katsura’s new political party and both of the movement leaders, this essay demonstrates the main factors that propelled the clash between the cabinet and the movement, and explains in detail the difference in the stances of Ozaki and Inukai during their anti-government campaign. These are crucial to understand that Katsura’s ideas, no matter how liberal, were not acceptable for the public opinion, and that from the very beginning his cabinet was destined to fail
Reimagining the post-war international order : the world federalism of Ozaki Yukio and Kagawa Toyohiko
This chapter considers the two most important leaders of the world federalist movement in occupied Japan, Ozaki Yukio and Kagawa Toyohiko. Both were remarkably early supporters of women's suffrage and democratic institutions; both benefited from rich international connections; and finally, both exhibited an unusual combination of pragmatic and utopian tendencies. The core of Kagawa's argument for the possibility of a genuine federal world, however, was to be found in his theory of institutional evolution as a manifestation of world cultural development. For Kagawa eugenics should not only be used to eliminate problematic people. He also called for a comprehensive and global approach to the "sex problem" to proactively create a "superior and peaceful people". Support for a world federation that remedied the faults of both the League of Nations and the United Nations was not, for either of these figures, an independent cause that each came to stand behind in the moment of defeat
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
The 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
“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
We 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
We 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
