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
<Articles>Chinese Nationalism in the Japanese Leased Territory of Dalian: Sports and Education of the Dalian Chinese Youth Association
No full text日本の租借地である大連において、中国ナショナリズムは中国本国のナショナリズムと共振しながらも、独自の展開を遂げていった。その中心となった組織が一九二〇年に設立された大連中華青年会（以下、中華青年会）である。中華青年会は活動を非政治的なものに限定することで、日本統治下の大連に中国人の公共空間を創出した。一九二〇年代半ばに中国本国でナショナリズムが高揚すると、中華青年会の活動は政治化し、日本側との対立を深める。一九二八年に会長が逮捕されると、中華青年会の活動はスポーツと初等教育に集約された。これらは非政治的とみなされたがゆえに、ナショナリズム遂行の手段となりえたのである。満洲国建国後、中華青年会は中国との関係断絶を迫られ、大連青年会と改称する。大連青年会はその存続のために「満洲国ナショナリズム」を掲げるが、かえってその存在意義を低下させ、一九三六年に解散することとなる。In Dalian, located in Japanese leased territory in China, Chinese nationalism developed in a unique way while resonating with nationalism in the rest of China. The Dalian Chinese Youth Association (CYA) 大連中 華青年会, established in 1920, was the driving force behind this development. By focusing its activities on nonpolitical ones, the CYA created a public space for the Chinese in Dalian under Japanese rule. With the rise of nationalism in China during the mid-1920s, the activities of the CYA became politicized, deepening the conflict with the Japanese. After the arrest of Fu Liyu 傅立魚, president of the CYA, by the Japanese authorities in 1928, the CYA limited its activities to sports and primary education. Since these activities were considered nonpolitical, the CYA could use them to promote nationalism in an increasingly hostile environment. After the founding of Manchukuo, the CYA was forced to sever its ties with China and to change its name to the Dalian Youth Association (DYA) 大連青年会. Advocating “Manchukuo nationalism” in order to survive, the DYA gradually lost the point of its very existence and disbanded in 1936
East Asia and the Olympics
Full text link小特集 スポーツの歴史学--現在と未来---Special Essue: Historical Studies of Sports: Present and FutureThis report provides an overview of the history of "East Asia and the Olympics" from three points of view-(1)inclusion and exclusion, (2)the world and Asia, and (3)sports and politics. The international sports world, as represented by the Olympics, has taken an apolitical stance, claiming that "sports are separate from politics." On the other hand, the Asian sports world has taken the position that "sports and politics are inseparable." Major international sporting countries and Japan, which regards itself as a leading power in Asia, have secured the inclusion of Asia in the world. The competitive strength of China, which successfully joined Asia and the world in the 1970s, began to exceed that of Japan in the 1980s. Furthermore, China improved its relationships with South Korea and Taiwan and took Japan's place as a unifier of East Asia
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
