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
The Significance of the Symbol and the Role of Dramatisation in Maxim Gorky’s Artistic World
Get PDFThe article was submitted on 18.10.2024.Автор исследования делает акцент на чрезвычайном разнообразии художественного, публицистического и эпистолярного наследия Максима Горького и подчеркивает мысль о том, что ядром его личности являлся талант художественного видения действительности. В поисках идентичности Горького он опирается на формулировку У. Эко, который в сущностном интерпретационном триединстве автора, текста и читателя ставит вопрос, искать ли в тексте то, что хотел сказать автор, или то, что текст говорит независимо от него. Он исходит из мысли о том, что художественный замысел – это свидетельство о мире, который в силу своей многообразной сложности постигается не в прямом выражении, а через посредство художественного образа, то есть косвенного образного метафорического выражения, а так-же берет за основу классическое определение символа как знака искусства, данное И. В. Гёте, который считал символ важнейшей определяющей частью художественного текста. В символе им подчеркивается знаковая агентность, способность к независимому и автономному «означиванию». Отмечается особый нарративный талант Горького, заключающийся в том, что благодаря его феноменальной памяти детальные ситуативные фрагменты наблюдаемой реальности трансформируются в реальность вымышленную, в которой они оказываются представлены глазами наблюдателя-нарратора и персонажей. Горький ориентируется на те жанры повествования (рассказ, очерк, повесть), которые наиболее полно отвечают его художественной природе. В его творчестве доминирует жанровый принцип драмы, существенным признаком которого является создание иллюзии яркой зрелищной непосредственности и неопосредованности, во взаимодействии которых и создается драматическая сцена. Горьковское повествование представляет собой длинный ряд сцен, эпизодов и ситуаций, что часто считается недостатком эпического жанра. Однако в этой последовательности Горький позволяет живой реальности перелиться в художественный мир и предстать как реальность сама по себе. Линейная цепочка драматических сцен и взаимодействие автора с «фиктивным» планом рассказчика и персонажа, разворачивающиеся в пространстве-времени драматического высказывания, это проявления своеобразного художественного видения писателя.The author of this study highlights the remarkable diversity of Maxim Gorky’s artistic, journalistic, and epistolary works and emphasises the idea that the core of his personality was the talent of artistic vision of reality. In his search for Gorky’s identity, the scholar relies on Umberto Eco’s idea: in the essential interpretive trinity of author, text and reader, Eco raises the question of whether one should look for what the author wanted to say in the text, or whether one should look at what the text says independently of its author. He proceeds from the idea that artistic intent serves as a testament to the world. Given its intricate nature, the world is understood not through direct expression, but through the medium of artistic image, that is, indirect figurative metaphorical expression. He also uses the classical definition of the symbol as a sign of art, as described by J. W. Goethe, who regarded the symbol as the most important defining part of the artistic text. He emphasises the iconic agency of the symbol and its capacity for independent and autonomous ‘signification’. The author of the article emphasises Gorky’s remarkable narrative talent. His phenomenal memory allows the writer to meticulously transform observed fragments of reality into fictional tales, presenting them through the eyes of the observer-narrator and characters. Gorky focuses on the genres of narrative (short story, essay, novella) that best suit his artistic nature. His work is dominated by the genre principle of drama, whose essential feature is the creation of the illusion of vivid spectacular immediacy and unmediatedness, their interaction leading to the creation of the dramatic scene. Gorky’s narrative is a long sequence of scenes, episodes, and situations, which is often considered a disadvantage of the epic genre. However, in this sequence, Gorky allows living reality to overflow into the artistic world and appear as a reality in its own right. The linear chain of dramatic scenes and the author’s interaction with the ‘fictitious’ plan of the narrator and the character, unfolding in the space-time of the dramatic statement, are manifestations of the writer’s peculiar artistic vision
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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
