Pomen Petrovaradina u Ekthesis chronike iz XVI veka
No full textEkthesis chronike is a XVI century work written by an anonymous author. This author or compiler gives some data on our regions as well. The topic of this work is the part of the chronicle which relates to the Ottoman conquest of Hungary, especially to the mention of Petrovaradin, i. e. its’ siege and conquest by the Turks in 1526. The data provided by Ekthesis chronike is analyzed and compared with other contemporary sources, especially Turkish and Hungarian. Even though it is written in a popular manner and contains some mistakes, this chronicle is a very interesting source for late Byzantine history, but also for the period after the fall of Constantinople and Ottoman conquests during the XVI century
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
The Greek charter of the Hungarian King Stephen I
No full textThe first Hungarian Christian ruler, King Stephen I (997-1038) issued several
charters that have survived to this day. One of them is the charter issued
on behalf of the nuns from the Monastery of the Holy Theotokos in
Veszprémvölgy. The charter was written in the Greek language, and has been
the subject of many studies. The original has not been preserved; what
remains is a copy from the time of King Coloman, dated to 1109. The charter
has not been published in a critical edition in any language other than
Hungarian and even though it has been examined by numerous Hungarian
scholars, many questions remain open. The aim of the author is to provide a
critical edition and an English translation of the charter, but also to
clarify some remaining doubts about the charter and its contents.
Furthermore, some comparisons will be made with the Byzantine charters
issued at the beginning of the 11th and during the 12th century
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“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
The Byzantine diocese Tourkia reconsidered
No full textFrom the period of the arrival of Hungarians to the Pannonian plain,
Byzantine church influence was present. One of the most obvious traces of
such influence was the diocese of Tourkia. From the second half of the 10th
century onwards this diocese was first the bishopric, and later it was
elevated to the status of metropolitanate. The paper attempts to provide
some possible new answers on the development of this church province with
particular stress on the time when the bishopric was given a rank of
metropolitanate. In addition to this, some other assumptions will be
provided on the Byzantine church organization in Hungary and the changes in
the diocese of Tourkia through the centuries
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe 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
Get PDFWe 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
