My Dear Betty Sister
As you desired it, I cannot but send
you a line, altho I have not a moment to spare.
You have doub[tless] exceeding reason to praise God, who
has dealt so mercifully with you. You have reason to
praise him likewise for hearing your Prayer, and
charity[?] to those of your Hous[e]hold. Now be a Pattern
to all that are round about you. Be a Pattern of
Meekness & Lowliness in particular. Be the least of all,
and the servant of all. Be a companion of Them &
them only, that worship in Spirit and in truth. Read
again and again the thirteenth chapter of S. Paul’s
first Epistle to the Corinthians. Then shall your light
shine more & more unto the perfect day & joy. I am
Dear Sister,
Your Affectionate Brother
JWesley
Class Tickets
The first dated “September 1810” is signed Mary Cordeux [spelled Cordukes after she came to the America]. She was the daughter of Rachel Jones [of the Wesley letter] and Richard Cordeux, born Jan. 14, 1794, at Cranby, Yorkshire. On September 19, 1819, she married Edward Hield at Boswell Church in Yorkshire. After her husband’s death, she came to Janesville, Wisconsin, with her 7 children. [She appears in the 1850 U.S. census with 5 of her children; she died in 1862.]
The second class ticket, dated September 1844, is signed Edwd [Edward] Hield. He died in Escrick, Yorkshire, just three months later, Dec. 7, 1844.Two quarterly class tickets, dated 1810 and 1844, affixed to address panel of letter.
[Postmarks:]
“BRISTOL” stamped near upper right corner of address panel. On verso of the fold is a Bishop’s mark of two concentric circles. In the outer circle at the top is “MR” [i.e., March] and at the bottom “89” [i.e., 1789]. In the inner circle a “7” indicates the day of arrival in the London post office. [Prior to 1787 the Bishop’s mark was a divided circle with the month above and the day below.]
There is another faint circular postmark stamped near “Bristol” with only “A.M.” visible. This may indicate that when the letter arrived in London it was marked for sorting in the morning mail.
Records indicate (Telford) that before the backing was pasted on, the letter was redirected to “Miss Rachel Jones, of Barton-le-Willows, Near York” [Barton-le-Willows is a village in the Ryedale district of North Yorkshire about eight miles southwest of Malton]. Rachel [“Betty”] Jones would marry Richard Cordeux and were the parents of the Mary Cordeux of the class ticket.
Wesley wrote this letter at age 86, two years before his death, which accounts for the anomalies. For example, he first wrote “My Dear Betty” [a nickname for Rachel] but had second thoughts, underscored “Betty” for deletion [as was his custom], and wrote “Sister” instead. On the third line, he went back and inserted a caret to add “doubtless” above the line--but only wrote “doub”. In the signature, he tried to write “J Wesley,” as was his custom, but after writing the “J,” he joined it to only half of a “W” in “Wesley.” In the last sentence of the letter he is paraphrasing Prov. 4:18
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
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
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
