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
A declamação no lied alemão do século XIX: Considerações a partir de "Gretchen am Spinnrade" de Goethe/Schubert
Full text linkThe song Gretchen am Spinnrade by Schubert and Goethe is known as a milestone in the history of the Lied, a genre of German song that developed and gained autonomy in the 19th century. What distinguishes the Lied from other forms is the peculiar relationship between music and poetry, with the declamation of poetry being a subject of discussion among composers. With the flourishing of the German theater, the art of declamation became an aesthetic discussion. This article examines aspects of declamation related to meter, tempo, and speech rhythm, as well as the performance itself, which to a certain extent anticipates creative musical procedures. The theories and analyses partially reflect my doctoral research, which sought to integrate the fields of German language/literature and musicology from a comparative perspective.A canção Gretchen am Spinnrade de Schubert e Goethe é conhecida como um marco na história do lied, um gênero da canção alemã que se desenvolve no século XIX, conquistando sua autonomia. O que distingue o lied das demais formas é a peculiar relação entre a música e a poesia, e neste contexto, a declamação dos versos se torna objeto de discussão entre os compositores. Coincidindo com o florescimento do teatro alemão, a arte da declamação se torna uma discussão estética. Aqui nos propomos a iluminar aspectos da declamação relacionados à métrica, ao andamento e ao ritmo da fala, assim como à própria performance, que de certa forma antecipa procedimentos criativos musicais. As teorias e análises aqui apresentadas refletem parcialmente as pesquisas realizadas durante o projeto de doutorado, no qual se buscou, em perspectiva comparada, integrar os campos da língua e literatura alemã e da musicologia
A magia do libreto: Introdução à libretologia
No full textDie Geschichte des Librettos ist so alt wie die der Oper, und diese wäre ohne sie nicht denkbar. Da es jedoch lange Zeit als ein kleines, unvollständiges und von der Musik abhängiges Buch betrachtet wurde, erlangte das Libretto erst gegen Ende des 20. Jhs. wissenschaftliches Interesse. In diesem Kontext entsteht eine neue Wissenschaft: die Librettologie. Da die Musikwissenschaft das Libretto aus der Perspektive der Opernrezeption untersucht, während sich die Theaterwissenschaft eher mit der Performance beschäftigt, plädieren Theoretiker wie Ulrich Weisstein (1982), Albert Gier (1998) oder Tina Hartmann (2017) für die Librettoforschung im Bereich der Sprachenwissenschaft, für eine Wissenschaft, die sich mit dem Libretto aufgrund seiner Spezifizitäten beschäftigt. Ziel dieses Beitrags ist es, die Librettologie im Bereich der Sprach- und Literaturwissenschaften vorzustellen. Dabei soll auf die Eigenschaften und Funktionen des Librettos sowie auf seine Anerkennung als literarische Gattung aufmerksam gemacht werden.A história do libreto é tão antiga quanto a da ópera, e sem ele a ópera seria inimaginável. Todavia, visto por tanto tempo apenas como um livro pequeno, incompleto e dependente da música, é somente a partir do final do século XX que o libreto passa a despertar interesse como objeto de estudo científico, e uma nova ciência se apresenta: a libretologia. Considerando que a musicologia aborda o libreto a partir da sua recepção pela ópera, enquanto o teatro se preocupa mais com a performance, teóricos como Ulrich Weisstein (1982), Albert Gier (1998) ou Tina Hartmann (2017) reivindicam o estudo do libreto para o campo das letras e defendem uma ciência que se dedique ao estudo do libreto a partir de suas próprias especificidades. A proposta deste artigo é introduzir a libretologia no campo das ciências da língua e da literatura, chamando a atenção para as qualidades e funções do libreto, em defesa do seu reconhecimento como um importante gênero literário
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
