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
<Articles>Falsehoods in Authentication: On the Recent Theories about the Forgery of Chinese Bronze Inscriptions and Bamboo Slips and Tablets (Special Issue : Deception)
No full text出土文献に対する弁偽は近代以来盛んに行われてきたが、近年出土文献に対する弁偽の様相が従来とは変化している。偽作説が濫発され、弁偽の信頼性に疑義、疑問が生じるようになっており、非発掘資料自体にではなく、それらに対する偽作説の方に疑わしい点や安易さが見られるようになっている。また多くの研究者が妥当と見なしている弁偽に対して、無理な批判も横行している。近年偽作説が相次いで提示されている金文と簡牘について同じ土俵に上げて検討することで、共通の問題が見出せる。また、非発掘資料にどのように相対していくかというスタンスの表明も近年日本で複数発表されている。複数の研究者が問題にする非発掘資料のコンテクストの欠如の問題については、あくまで考古学の立場からの問題意識である。文献史学の立場に立脚した場合、非発掘資料の釈読にはそのようなコンテクストが必ずしも重要な問題とはならない。Although the authenticity judgements (bengi 弁偽) of Chinese unearthed documents has often been conducted in modern times, there has been a change in the authentication of unearthed documents in recent years. Rampant theories of forgery have caused doubts and questions about the reliability of authentication, and now questionable points and the ease of creating such theories about forgery are more prominent than those about the non-excavated materials themselves. In addition, unreasonable criticism of what many researchers consider to be valid authentication has also grown rampant. By considering together both bronze inscriptions and bamboo slips that are alleged to have been forgeries in recent years, common problems can be revealed. This paper focuses on the current state of authentication of bronze inscriptions and the bamboo slips. First, I introduce the state of authenticity judgements of bronze inscriptions conducted prior to the 21st century, focusing on the works of Rong Geng 容庚, Banard and others. I then address newly discovered bronze inscriptions whose authenticity has been questioned, including Bin Gong xu 豳公盨 of the Western Zhou 周 period that recount the oldest legend of Yu 禹's flood control, and Mou Gong gui [口爻見]公簋 of the Western Zhou period referring to the foundation of the Jin 晋 state, and the Jin Gong pan 晋公盤, which has the same inscription as the inherited bronze vessel that is decorated with waterfowl, fish, frog, and turtle figures. In recent years, the authentication of bronze inscriptions has been biased toward the views of particular researchers and seems to have been made with less rigor, and the theories of forgery have become less reliable than newly discovered non-excavated bronze inscriptions themselves. Finally, I introduce some recent methodologies of authentication, such as Sakikawa Takashi 崎川隆's method of overlapping inscriptions. Sakikawa also evaluates fake artifacts to be “archaeological artifacts” in order to elucidate the contemporary social, economic, and cultural background of the bronzes. As regards the bamboo slips and tablets, the purchase of the Warring States 戦国 period bamboo slips by the Shanghai Museum 上海博物館 in1994 triggered attention on non-excavated bamboo slips as primary source materials. The number of cases of bamboo slip forgery has been increasing rapidly since the 1990s. The authentication of bamboo slips has often been made with reference to the judgements about bronze inscriptions. The indicators include radiocarbon measurement, information on the chemica l treatment of the bamboo slips, and the usage of the characters used on the slips. As examples of authentication, I discuss the Tsinghua University 清華大学 collection of the Warring States Bamboo Slips (Qinghua jian 清華簡) and the Zuo zhuan 左伝 in the Zhejiang University 浙江大学 collection of the Warring States Bamboo Slips (Zheda jian 浙大簡) . While many researchers consider the Qinghua jian to be authentic, a few researchers claim that it is a forgery. Conversely, many researchers consider the Zheda jian Zuo zhuan to be a forgery, while a few researchers consider it to be authentic. In both cases, judgements are skewed, relying on a particular researcher, as in the case of bronze inscriptions. Arguments about the judgement about Zheda jian Zuozhuan in particular have become a fruitless exercises. Finally, I take up the problem of what stance to take in regard to nonexcavated materials. Several statements on such a stance have been published in Japan in recent years. Some researchers have problematized the lack of archaeological context for non-excavated materials. In particular, Tomiya Itaru 冨谷至's declaration that bamboo slips whose source is unidentified have no appeal as source materials and that he would not use them for research, has caused controversy. However, this awareness derives from the point of view of archaeology. From the position of the philology, such context is not necessarily an important issue in the exegesis of non-excavated materials
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

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.
