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
Old English items in London, British Library, Cotton Tiberius C. I
No full textLondon, British Library, MS Cotton Tiberius C i is a composite manuscript containing scientific and religious texts, made up of two independent elements. The manuscript is predominantly Latin, but each of the elements contains a small amount of Old English: the first contains glosses of the names of the winds; the second, some short homiletic texts, the Pater Noster and an Old English Creed. This essay explores the Old English instances and discusses possible explanations for their presence, arguing that their production may have been of more use to the writers than to any imagined audience</p

(with BL, Harley 3667 [275])
[Ker 196, 197, Gneuss 376]
HISTORY: Part 1 (ff. 2-42) contains two distinct elements. The first two quires (ff. 2-17 = Part la) originally formed part of a scientific manuscript belonging with London, BL, Harley 3667 [275] , as indicated by similarities of script and quire signatures, described below. Like Harley 366 7, these quires of Tiberius C. i, Part 1, were demonstrably written at Peterborough between 1122and1135, perhaps ca. 1122 (see the account of Harley 3667). This larger scientific manuscript was probably still together and in Peterborough in the late 14c in view of its likely identification with a scientific manuscript noted in a late 14c · Peterborough book-list (item A. ii, ed. James 1926: 34). Subsequently (at the dissolution of the monasteries?) the scientific manuscript was broken up and at least 18 of its quires went missing.
The remaining three quires of Part 1 (ff. 18-42 = Part 1b), containing the illustrated astronomical material, were probably also produced at Peterborough in the 1120s in view of the similarity of script and decoration (as suggested by Ker 1938: 132), although the evidence is less firm: the different size of the writing grid and different ruling practice, described below, confirm that they once constituted a separate manuscript.
Part 2 (ff. 43-203) is made up of a pontifical written by two scribes in Germany probably in the middle of the 11c (see Ker 1959: 263). Material was added to this collection in blank spaces and on added leaves by thirteen scribes writing in England between 1070 and 11 00. References within their work and identification of their hands in other manuscripts demonstrate that the additions by twelve of these English scribes were first made in Sherborne (see the description of ff. 93r/ 18-95r/ 10 below) and then in Salisbury (see the description of ff. 11 2v/ 8-1 16v/ 13 below), to which the episcopate moved in 1075 (see Ker 1959 and 1976). One quire in Part 2 (Quire XVIII, ff. 172-79) was written by an unlocalized English scribe of the late 1 lc whose hand does not occur elsewhere (Ker 1959: 270). The two parts of Tiberius C. i were no doubt joined together under the direction of Sir Robert Cotton (as assumed by Ker 1959: 262). After the two parts were joined, the early modern table of contents on f. lr was added, written in ink on parchment between pencil bounding lines, probably under the direction of Cotton
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
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
