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
Agronomía y magia en la traducción de ferrer saiol del opus agriculturae de paladio
Full text linkAquest estudi té com a objectiu analitzar la màgia en l’agronomia a través de la traducció medieval catalana de Ferrer Saiol de l’Opus agriculturae de Pal·ladi. En primer lloc revisem la màgia en l’àmbit agrícola romà. A continuació presentem la traducció de Ferrer Saiol, del segle xiv. D’aquesta traducció, feta pels volts del 1385, n’estudiem l’exemplar conservat en català (València, Biblioteca Municipal Serrano Morales, manuscrit [ms.] 6437). Seguidament, revisem una selecció de passatges que il·lustren les diverses pràctiques màgiques descrites per Pal·ladi i com aquestes són traslladades a la versió medieval de Saiol; en concret, es tracta de pràctiques per a combatre inclemències meteorològiques i predir el temps, protegir els animals domèstics i el cultiu, i lluitar contra les plagues. Així, doncs, ens aproximem al coneixement màgic agronòmic llatí i a com aquest es difon en català a finals del segle xiv a la Corona d’Aragó.Paraules clau: agronomia romana, màgia romana, Opus agriculturae, Pal·ladi, Ferrer SaiolThe aim of this paper is to analyze magic in agronomy through the medieval Catalan translation by Ferrer Saiol of Palladius’s Opus agriculturae. First we make a review of magic in Roman agriculture, and then we present the medieval translation from the 14th century by Ferrer Saiol, protonotary of Queen Eleanor of Sicily. We study the copy of the Catalan translation – written around 1385 – which has been preserved (Valencia, Serrano Morales Municipal Library, ms. 6437). Lastly, we review a selection of passages illustrating the various magical practices developed by Palladius and how these practices are transferred to the medieval version by Saiol, specifically, those on how to combat and predict the weather, how to protect domestic animals and crops; and how to deal with pests. Taking this approach, we look into the Latin agronomic magical knowledge and how it was disseminated in the Catalan language at the end of the 14th century in the Crown of Aragon.Keywords: Roman agronomy, Roman magic, Opus agriculturae, Palladius, Ferrer Saiol.Este estudio tiene como objetivo analizar la magia en la agronomía a través de la traducción medieval catalana de Ferrer Saiol del Opus agriculturae de Paladio.

El cereal, aliment del poble romà: fonts llatines
Full text linkCereal was the fundamental food for the Mediterranean basin cultures in Antiquity. In this article I undertake an examination of preserved Latin treatises on agriculture and the work of Pliny the Elder, which should help us better understand the varieties of cereal that were grown in ancient Rome. Such body of texts provides broad information on the field where cereals were grown and on how starch, semolina and flour were produced. These were required products used to obtain different kinds of Roman food. Therefore, this article gives an insight into the different types of crops, cereals and food derived from cereal, all of which are witness to the gastronomic heritage of ancient Rome
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
