Oral history interview with Patrick Morgan
No full textPatrick Morgan, Dean of the Oklahoma State University (OSU) College of Veterinary Medicine from 1977-1984, influenced much change during his tenure at OSU. He explains how he came to work at the Oklahoma State Department of Health with part-time faculty appointments at OSU and the University of Oklahoma. Morgan talks about his interest in epidemiology, the establishment of the Oklahoma Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory, and various changes within the college and professional field.The O-STATE Stories Oral History collection is comprised of interviews which chronicle the rich history, heritage, and traditions of Oklahoma State University
The Cyprus Conflict and the Failure of Its Europeanization
No full textIn the modern history of efforts to cope with ethnic conflicts, few cases are more complex than Cyprus. The conflict was generated in the context of an ethnically mixed British colony achieving its independence and experiencing difficulties in creating new state institutions. Quite typically, the specific developments, negotiations and outcomes were also significantly shaped by various states and international institutions. By the mid-1990s the conflict was Europeanized, as the European Union became involved through its accession-of-members process, initially with the Republic of Cyprus and then Turkey. The first two sections of the chapter reconstruct the origins of the conflict and its escalation into the island's bifurcation, while the third focuses on the Europeanization of the conflict and evaluates how, over the course of three periods, key EU-level decisions shaped cooperation or rejection of it by the parties to the conflict during the UN mediation efforts. The final section then reviews more fundamental deficiencies that also helped create, then sustain, the Cyprus problem and make it so notoriously complicated and enduring. In doing so it suggests how a successfully unified Cyprus might yet emerge
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
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
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
Astral Sciences in Early Imperial China
No full textChallenging monolithic modern narratives about &apos;Chinese science&apos;, Daniel Patrick Morgan examines the astral sciences in China c.221 BCE–750 CE as a study in the disunities of scientific cultures and the narratives by which ancients and moderns alike have fought to instil them with a sense of unity. The book focuses on four unifying &apos;legends&apos; recounted by contemporary subjects: the first two, redolent of antiquity, are the &apos;observing of signs&apos; and &apos;granting of seasons&apos; by ancient sage kings; and the other two, redolent of modernity, involve the pursuit of &apos;accuracy&apos; and historical &apos;accumulation&apos; to this end. Juxtaposing legend with the messy realities of practice, Morgan reveals how such narratives were told, imagined, and re-imagined in response to evolving tensions. He argues that, whether or not &apos;empiricism&apos; and &apos;progress&apos; are real, we must consider the real effects of such narratives as believed in and acted upon in the history of astronomy in China.</jats:p
