A Study of the Compilation, Influence, and Documentary Value of the Questions and Answers between Zhu Xi and Cheng Xun
No full text《朱程問答》是朱熹與程洵往來的書信集，其中保存朱熹寫給程洵的信件，以及程洵的回信。為了要瞭解這部著作的價值何在，本文分為三部分討論。首先探討的是此書的編纂背景。此書在明代由程氏家族的養子程資編輯，並且出資刊刻，其中最特殊的資料是家族中保存的先世遺墨，這批資料之所以受到重視，與程氏家族在明代刻意標榜以朱子學為家學有關。其次，此書為明代程曈纂寫《新安學繫錄》中的程洵傳記，提供第一手的資料，並且，清代夏炘也利用此書中所保存的信件，提出朱學三變之說。兩人都是為著建構徽州地區的朱子學傳承歷史而作。然而他們對於資料的使用，仍有值得商榷之處。第三，由於此書中，收錄朱熹的佚文以及程洵的書信，因此能夠提供更完整的線索，考訂兩人論學書信的編年問題，說明朱熹與林用中及葉仁的交往過程，以及朱熹早年對於《正蒙》和〈西銘〉的觀點，進而對照出朱熹和程洵在思想上的差異。The Questions and Answers between Zhu Xi and Cheng Xun records the personal correspondence between Zhu Xi and Cheng Xun, including the letters Zhu Xi wrote to Cheng Xun and Cheng Xun’s replies. In trying to fully understand the value of this collection, this article is divided into three sections. First investigated is the background to the compilation of this collection. It was compiled and funded during the Ming dynasty by Cheng Zi, an adopted child of the Cheng family. One of the most interesting types of documents in this collection is the ancestors’ manuscripts preserved within the family. These documents were highly valued because the Cheng family in the Ming dynasty put a lot of emphasis on Zhu Xi’s studies as their family teachings. Second, the collection provided first-hand information for Cheng Tong’s compilation of Cheng Xun’s biography in The Intellectual Lineage of Xin’an in the Ming dynasty. Also, Qing scholar Xia Xin used the correspondence preserved in the collection to support his observation of three changes in Zhu Xi’s theories. Both scholars made an effort to construct the heritage of Zhu Xi’s studies in the Huizhou area, but how they used the documents has problems. Third, since the collection includes Zhu Xi’s lost works and Cheng Xun’s letters, it provides historical evidence for reconstructing the chronology of these scholarly communications. It validates Zhu Xi’s association with Lin Yong-Zhong and Ye Ren, verifies Zhu Xi’s earlier views on Zhang Zai’s Rectifying the Ignorant and The Western Inscription, and reflects the ideological differences between Zhu Xi and Cheng Xun
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

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.
