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
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
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
<Articles>Legal Proceedings under the Toyotomi Regime : The Case of Villages in the Kinai Region and Surrounding Provinces
No full text本稿では、豊臣政権の訴訟処理体制について考察した。その意図は、訴訟対応の様相の解明が、研究史上で等閑視されてきた政権の内部構造に迫ることを可能にし、この時期の「公儀」の正当性を支えた基盤を提示することにつながるところにある。当時、政権の直接支配下にあった畿内・近国社会では、給人や代官の百姓に対する非分や、村落間の用益相論が権力の相対すべき主要な課題であった。近隣の村や代官らによる仲裁では事態が収まらない場合、その解決は中央の政権に求められた。政権側は増田長盛を中心とする奉行が対応する体制を徐々に形成し、天正十六年(一五八八) 前後からは二名、文禄三年(一五九四) 前後からは三名の奉行によって訴訟を処理した。社会の望んだ保証力と唯一性を有した裁定を奉行が行うことで、政権の統治方式は社会に浸透したと評価できよう。This article examines the system of the disposition of legal proceedings during the regime of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. The reason for this examination is that by clarifying how the Toyotomi regime dealt with legal proceedings, it is possible to approach an understanding of the internal structure of the regime, which has not previously been examined, and at the same time we will be able to discern the foundation of the legitimacy of its kogi (official public) character. Moreover, in making this examination, I also bear in mind there is an intimate relationship between political authority's response in legal proceedings and warfare, and that in certain respects social demands and customs regulated this response. In the first section, I examine the response to legal proceeding in the earlier period of the regime. In legal proceedings involving the immediate environs of Kyoto, there were many cases of estate holders appealing directly to Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and Hideyoshi himself passing judgment on them. On the other hand, in the Kinai and neighboring areas, kyunin (landed retainers of the Toyotomi regime) and deputies conducted the arbitration. It is thought that the response of these kyunin and deputies continued thereafter, but in most cases the procedures for the legal proceedings was in a simplified form, and it appears that their efficacy was weakened. In the second section, I examine the response in legal proceeding in the middle period of the regime. At this time, the indivisibility of the villages of the kyunin and deputies and disputes between villages over their products were the chief issues that the authorities needed to deal with. When the arbitration provided by a neighboring village or a deputy of the regime could not solve an issue, a solution was sought from the central Toyotomi authorities. As a result, from circa Tensho 16 (1588) a system dealing with legal proceedings led by Mashita Nagamori and another commissioner (one of either Natsuka Masaie, Ishida Mitsunari, or Asano Nagayoshi) was created. However, as the commissioners were saddled with many responsibilities, they were unable to concentrate on legal proceedings. In addition, as they did not prepare procedures to coordinate their collective opinions, they had not yet formed a group and were a stage swayed by individual circumstances. In the third section, I examine the response to legal proceedings in the latter stage of the regime. It is thought that the internal structure of the regime changed under the influence of the invasion of Korea and the Hidetsugtu incident. Within this changed structure, one can see changes from circa Bunroku 3 (1593) at Fushimi, which the regime had made its new headquarters, and a system of responding to legal proceedings headed by three commissioners, including Mashita Nagamori, Natsuka Masaie and either Ishida Mitsunari or Gen'i, was begun. Furthermore, meetings began to be held within the main castle and collective operation as a group was established. Summarizing the results of the above examination, one cannot discern a deliberate policy from Toyotomi regime's methods of dealing with legal proceedings. In the Kinai region (during the Sengoku period, the populace sought judgments that were guaranteed and absolute. The Toyotomi regime acquired legitimacy as a public institution by dealing with legal proceedings in response to these demands, and its method of rule thus spread throughout society. It can be concluded that the Toyotomi regime's handling of legal proceedings occurred as the system of rule was being organized under the influence of social and political circumstances
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
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
