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
Variations on the Author
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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

Full text linkCilj ovog rada je ispitati odrednice psihomotoričkog razvoja neurorizične djece te utvrditi razlike u psihomotoričkom razvoju koje se događaju tijekom vremena. U istraživanje je bilo uključeno 150 djece koja su imala čimbenike neurorizika, a koja su bila uključena u habilitacijski tretman u Zavodu za fizikalnu medicinu i rehabilitaciju, Banja Luka.
Dobiveni rezultati upućuju da se visoko i nisko neurorizična djeca statistički značajno razlikuju po broju onih koji udovoljavaju normi za dob u razvoju grube motorike i okulomotoričke koordinacije u drugoj godini života, ali ne i na planu govora i socioekonomskog razvoja. Rezultati na zadacima grube motorike, okulomotorike, govora i socioemocionalnog razvoja nestabilni su tijekom prve dvije godine. U drugoj godini kod sve neurorizične djece značajno je veći broj one koja pokazuju odstupanja u govoru i socioemocionalnom razvoju, a kod visoko neurorizične djece i na planu okulomotorike. U drugoj godini statistički je značajno manji broj djece s odstupanjima na planu motorike. Nisu nađene značajne razlike između dječaka i djevojčica obzirom na stupanj neurorizika niti u razvoju pojedinačnih funkcija. Dobiveni rezultati pokazuju da se skupine visoko i niskorizične djece ne razlikuju statistički značajno u pogledu socioekonomskog statusa te da djeca iz obitelji visokog socioekonomskog statusa postižu bolje rezultate u psihomotoričkom razvoju u odnosu na djecu srednjeg i niskog socioekonomskog statusa. S obzirom na podzastupljenost djece iz obitelji visokog socioekonomskog statusa, nije opravdana generalizacija ovih rezultata. Ovi rezultati, barem kada je u pitanju razvoj govora i socioemocionalni razvoj, dovode u pitanje podjelu na visoki i niski neurorizik. Opažena nestabilnost rezultata jasno upućuje na nemogućnost izvođenja zaključaka o prognozi razvoja na osnovi rezultata u ranoj dobi i potrebu praćenja neurorizične djece i nakon što se normaliziraju odstupanja u gruboj motorici.This study investigates the main determinants of the psychomotor development among children with neurorisk factors, and aims to identify differences in the psychomotor development over the specific time span. We sampled 150 children with neurorisk factors from the Institution of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation in Banja Luka, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Our results show that the number of children who meet the age criteria related to the development of gross motor function and oculomotor coordination in the second year of life significantly differs between children at high and at low neurorisk. However, the difference is not significant for the language and socio-emotional development. Specifically, the results of the tasks involving gross motor skills are unstable during their first two years of life. The same applies to oculomotor, language and socio-emotional development. Importantly, among all the children at neurorisk, there was significantly higher number of those who show delays in language and socio-emotional development in their second year of life. In addition to delays in language and socio-emotional development, children at high neurorisk show delays in oculomotor coordination. Furthermore, the number of children who show gross motor delays was significantly lower in their second year of life. There were no statistically significant gender differences given the level of neurorisk and development of certain function. Similarly, there is no significant difference in terms of the level of neurorisk between children from different socio-economic status. However, children from higher socio-economic status families achieve better results in the psychomotor development compared to children of middle and low socio-economic status. Unfortunately, we cannot generalize the results related to differences in psychomotor development of children from different socio-economic status as there was under-representation of children from families of higher socio-economic status. The above stated results about language and socio-emotional development bring into question the general division into children at high and children at low neurorisk levels. Observed instability of results restricts making the forecast on development based solely on an early age results and emphasis the need to monitor children at neurorisk even after gross motor functions are normalized
Wall Paintings in the Church of the Nativity of the Most Holy Mother of God in Koprivna – Analysis of Iconography, Style and Patrons in the Context of the Art of the Military Orders
Full text linkU članku se analizira zidni oslik u svetištu romaničke crkve Rođenja Presvete Bogorodice u Koprivni. Oslik su raniji autori datirali u period od sredine 13. pa do ranog 14. stoljeća. Stilska i ikonografska analiza oslika te analiza pisanih izvora koji se dotiču Koprivne i njezine okolice u vremenu 13.-15. stoljeća omogućile su prepoznavanje ivanovačkog reda kao mogućih naručitelja izgradnje crkve te izvedbe oslika. Oslik iz Koprivne interpretiran je u kontekstu zidnog slikarstva viteških redova, s komparativnim primjerima iz Italije, Francuske te nekadašnjih križarskih država u Svetoj Zemlji.The subject of this paper are wall paintings in the fresco technique, discovered in 2007 in the sanctuary and in the lunette of the portal of the Church of the Nativity of the Most Holy Mother of God in Koprivna. This medieval church, originally dedicated to St. George, Lelja Dobronić associated with the Order of the Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem and interpreted it as the only remnant of their architecture on their medieval estate called Dopsa. Tibor Rostás, on the other hand, does not mention Dobronić\u27s thesis about the Hospitallers\u27 origin of the church in Koprivna and he connects the origin of the church and paintings in it with the Ják family from the middle of the 13th century. The text analyzes the historical written sources, as well as iconography and style of paintings in the sanctuary and the lunette of the church with the aim of giving a well-founded proposal about the original builders of the church and the patrons (sponsors) of these paintings.
Koprivna is not mentioned directly as part of the Hospitallers estate of Dopsa, but the analysis of written sources from the 13th to the 15th century, which touch upon the estates in the immediate vicinity of Koprivna, supports the assumption that Koprivna, according to L. Dobronić, was originally part of the Hospitallers estate Dopsa in the 13th century, so that in the middle of the 14th century Koprivna was owned by the noble Korogyi family.
In the analysis of paintings in the sanctuary, the Byzantine painting tradition was detected, which influenced the iconography of the individually depicted figures - especially the depiction of the Virgin Mary of the Nykopoia type and St. George in a standing frontal position - as well as the iconography of the entire preserved composition. Stylistic analysis of the paintings affirmed similarities with the probably simultaneous Italo-Byzantine style of the Italian trecento. The similarities are visible in the design of the volume, folds, wings of the archangel and the throne of the Virgin. A comparative analysis of paintings from Koprivna with related European Romanesque murals showed that the choice of iconographic types and compositions, the choice of saints for painting within the sanctuary and, finally, the stylistic characteristics of the depicted characters can be interpreted in the context of knight crusaders\u27 art.
Based on the established similarities of wall paintings from Koprivna with examples of Templars\u27 and Hospitallers\u27 art from Italy, France, Greece and the former Holy Land, it is proposed that Knights of St. John were builders of the church in Koprivna and also patrons of paintings and prescribed iconography in the church sanctuary. The presented proposal is in accordance with the assumptions of earlier historians about the Hospitallers\u27 origin of the church
Mediaeval church architecture in eastern Slavonia, Baranja and Srijem county and it's transformations during the Ottoman reign
Full text linkPredmet istraživanja je srednjovjekovna sakralna arhitektura istočne Slavonije,
Baranje i Srijema te sakralna kršćanska arhitektura za vrijeme osmanske vlasti (1526.-kraj 17.
st.), koja kroz taj period zadržava tradicionalna srednjovjekovna obilježja te stoga ne može
biti sagledana u kontekstu novih stilskih stremljenja, prisutnih u arhitekturi renesanse i
baroka.
U analizi sačuvanih spomenika i onih otkrivenih u arheološkom sloju koristila sam
interdisciplinaran pristup, u svjetlu novih konzervatorskih, povijesno-umjetničkih, povijesnih
i arheoloških istraživanja, jer iznimno mala količina pisanih izvora, kao i devastacija izvornog
srednjovjekovnog sloja kasnijim preinakama, otežavaju valorizaciju spomenika samo na
temelju povijesno-umjetničkih znanstvenih metoda. Na temelju interdisciplinarnosti i
komparacije s arhitekturom susjednih zemalja (Mađarska, Slovenija, Slovačka, Poljska),
spomenička srednjovjekovna građa istočnohrvatske ravnice je sagledana u kontekstu
srednjoeuropskog kulturnog kruga. Istraživanja su pokazala da je umjetnost srednjeg vijeka na
ovim prostorima uvjetovana prvenstveno društvenim i demografskim prilikama i tradicijom
(značaj tradicije srednjovjekovne gradnje, uvoz gotovih umjetničko-arhitektonskih rješenja), a
tek u manjoj mjeri stilskim premisama. Spomenike sakralne arhitekture s ovih prostora treba
promatrati u kontekstu rubnih područja širenja utjecaja zapadne umjetnosti. Također, uočena
je perzistencija ustaljenih karakteristika srednjovjekovne sakralne arhitekture, koja se
tipološki i morfološki razvija pod utjecajima uvezenih rješenja dvorske i redovničke
umjetnosti.
Spoznaje konzervatorskih, povijesnih i arheoloških istraživanja upućuju na postojanje
graditeljskog sloja (obnova ili gradnja) u vremenu osmanske okupacije Slavonije (1526.-kraj
17. st.). Oslanjajući se na radove Anđele Horvat, Dubravke Botice i Diane VukičevićSamaržije, razloge trajanja medijevalnih graditeljskih elemenata nalazim u revitalizaciji
graditeljske djelatnosti u drugoj polovici 16.st i prvoj polovini 17. st., koju potiču pristaše
reformatorskog pokreta te franjevci Provincije Bosna Srebrena. Uočavanje i analiza tradicije
srednjovjekovnih formi nužna je za sagledavanje crkvenog graditeljstva za vrijeme osmanske
vlasti u istočnoj Hrvatskoj.
Konačno, izrađen je novi katalog spomenika srednjovjekovne sakralne arhitekture,
upotpunjen arhitektonskom dokumentacijom, kao i podacima o pripadajućim ulomcima
arhitektonske plastike te zidnim oslicima, a u svrhu ažuriranja podataka o srednjovjekovnoj sakralnoj spomeničkoj građi s ovih prostora – dopuna spoznaja ranijih istraživača te dopuna
kataloga novim primjerima arhitekture.The research subject of this disertation is the medieval church architecture of Eastern
Slavonia, Baranja and Srijem and church architecture during the Ottoman reign in Eastern
Croatia (1526.-end of 17.th century), which through that period continues the use of
traditional medieval forms and therefore can not be viewed according to the new stylistic
aspirations of the architecture of the Rennaissance and Baroque period.
In the process of analysis and evaluation of preserved monuments and monuments
discovered in archeological state I have used an interdisciplinary approach, seen in a light of
new historical, archeological, art-historical research, as an extremely small amount of historic
written evidence has been preserved and the monuments have undergone considerable
devastation through rebuilding what makes it hard to evaluate these monuments using purely
methods of art history. Based on this interdisciplinary approach and comparing monuments of
this region with medieval architecture in neighboring countries (Vojvodina, Hungary,
Slovenia, Slovakia, Poland) I was able to make a valorization of the whole medieval church
architecture od Eastern Croatia, placing it within the context of the Central European cultural
circle. My research have shown that medieval art in the region was conditioned by social
circumstances and tradition (the role of tradition of medieval architecture, the import of
foreign bulding solutions), rather then by elements of artistic style. So, I believe that this
segment of medieval art should be considered within the context of borderlands of western
medieval styles. Also, I have noticed the persistence of traditional characteristics of medieval
church architecture, which has undergone through a typological and morphological
develpoment under the influence of imported court art and monastic art.
Recent historical and archeological research point to building activity in the period of
Ottoman occupation of Eastern Croatia. Following the work of previous authors (A. Horvat,
D. Botica, Diana V.-Samaržija) I believe that continuation of medieval building elements can
be explained by the revitalization of church building in the second half of the 16th century
and first part of the 17th century, which was enforced by the spread of Protestant
Reformation, and also by the Franciscans of the Bosna Srebrena province. So recognition and
analysis of the transformations of gothic forms has proven vital for researh in medieval
church building in Eastern Croatia during Ottoman reign.
Finally, I have made a new catalogue listing all the monuments of medieval church
architecture, accompanied by architectural documentation, and by new insights into architectural decor and wall decoration – i.e. fresco and secco paintings. The purpose of this catalogue is to update our knowledge about medieval church architecture of this region
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe 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
