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
Die Italienreise des Freiherrn Guidobald von Welsperg und Primör 1675–1676
Get PDFThe article exemplifies the role of the Grand Tour as the conclusion and culmination of an aristocratic education. The educational journey of the Tyrolean nobleman Guidobald of Welsperg began immediately after he completed his academic studies at the university of Innsbruck, taking him and his tutor through Italy, which was particularly popular as a Grand Tour destination thanks above all to its political diversity and cultural richness. Although Rome’s importance was waning, it continued to be regarded as the Caput Mundi by Catholic noblemen, especially during the 1675 Jubilee, underscoring the religious aspect of the journey. The advantages Rome had to offer must inevitably have had a formative effect on the young Tyrolean nobleman. The costs of the journey were high and out of reach of the majority, and therefore represented an important element of social distinction. At the same time, such an educational journey was a means of improving one’s education and polishing one’s manners that was almost obligatory for career purposes. Only by visiting foreign countries and courts could one acquire the Weltkenntnis, or knowledge of the world, qualifying an individual for higher posts at court, in the diplomacy or administration
Michael Hochedlinger- Österreichische Archivgeschichte. Vom Spätmittelalter bis zum Ende des Papierzeitalters
Get PDFDas Bürger- und Inwohnerbuch der Stadt Brixen von 1500 - 1593
No full textIn der vorliegenden Diplomarbeit wird der erste Band der drei Brixner (Südtirol) Bürger- und In-wohnerbücher, welche sich im Stadtarchiv unter den Signaturen A-6, A-11 und A-15 finden, ediert. Das Buch enthält die Bürger- und Inwohneraufnahmen Brixens der Jahre 1500 bis 1593. Es handelt sich dabei um eine fortlaufende Personenliste, die im besten Falle den Namen des Antragstellers, der Eltern und Zeugen, den Herkunftsort, Beruf und Aufnahmegebühr nennt. In seltenen Fällen ist nur der Name des Antragstellers genannt. Die Einträge wurden blockweise vom Stadtschreiber in das genannte Stadtbuch notiert. Formell geschah die Aufnahme jedoch vor Stadtrichter, Bürger-meister und Zeugen bzw. Stadtausschuss. Die Edition richtet sich nach den Regeln die bei der Edi-tion der Deutschen Reichtagsakten unter Karl V., Jüngere Reihe, angewandt wurden.
Erklärend umrahmen die Arbeit kurze Ausführungen zur Quelle „Bürgerbuch“ und erörtern ihren Wert für die historische Forschung; weiters wird ein etwas ausführlicherer Exkurs in die Historiog-raphiegeschichte Tirols nach der Abtrennung Südtirols im Jahre 1919 unternommen, die von der ideologischen Beweisführung des Deutschtums Südtirols geprägt war. Obwohl genügend Literatur vorhanden, hat sich der Autor erlaubt die historischen Rahmenbedingungen (1500-1593) etwas zu beleuchten und auf einschlägige Literatur zu verweisen. Zum besseren Verständnis der Edition wird schließlich auf die Stadtverfassung Brixens etwas näher eingegangen, die im Bürgerbuch genannten städtischen Institutionen erklärt und das Aufnahmeprozedere bei Bürger- und Inwohneraufnahmen beschrieben
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
