Tim Sullivan Oral History
No full textTim Sullivan was a professor of political science at the American University in Cairo from 1973 to 1998, and served as Provost from 1998 to 2008. He recalls his youth and higher education in the American northwest, and his coming to teach at AUC. He describes his home department of Political Science (originally Economics, Political Science, and Mass Communication), including its faculty and academic program. A sketch of AUC students over the years is offered, including their backgrounds, academic caliber, political engagement, and career paths for political science graduates. He also tells about the development of AUC’s Model United Nations program, offering anecdotes. Sullivan provides a view of significant developments at the university in the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s, especially its expansion and evolving academic mission, covering the terms in office and personalities of presidents and Deans of the Faculties. He addresses the 1990s emergence of academic Schools at AUC and the first generation of their Deans, and developments in these schools and their leadership while he was Provost through the late 2000s. Individual departments and research centers are also discussed, with respect to performance, culture, and emergence of new units. He describes the contributions and styles of Presidents under whom he served as Provost (John Gerhart, acting President Tom Bartlett, and David Arnold), with a detailed and emotional recollection of his personal and professional relationship with Gerhart, whose cancer prematurely shortened his presidency and life. Faculty issues (tenure, differing employment conditions for Egyptians and foreign hires, etc.) are addressed, along with the faculty’s role in university governance, such as committees and the Senate, and his own involvement on the Trustees’ Century Committee. Sullivan discusses the planning and construction of AUC’s new campus in New Cairo, including his role and that of other leading administrators, and the impact of the move. He also speaks about how AUC was affected by and responded to events and trends in Egyptian society, like the 1973 War, increasing influence of conservative Islam (with implications for academic freedom in the 1990s), and intermittent political limitations (exemplified by Saad Eddin Ibrahim’s incarceration in the 2000s), and speaks more generally about the university’s role in Egypt

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
