Muziejų leidybinė veikla Estijoje: leidiniai ir procesai (2011 ‒ 2015 m.)
[straipsnis ir santrauka anglų kalba, santrauka lietuvių kalba]
Straipsnyje pristatomas muziejų leidybinės veiklos Estijoje 2011–2015 m. tyrimas, kurio tikslas – nustatyti leidybos produkcijos tendencijas (leidinių skaičių, didžiausius leidėjus, leidinių rūšis ir kalbas), taip pat leidybos proceso savitumus. Duomenys apie leidybos produkciją buvo surinkti iš Estijos nacionalinės bibliografijos duomenų bazės. Bibliografiniai leidinių aprašymai buvo užfiksuoti XSL formatu ir išanalizuoti naudojant „MS Office Excel“ programą. Rezultatai buvo surūšiuoti pagal autorius ir pavadinimus, grupuojant leidinius į neperiodinius ir periodinius. Nuo 2011 iki 2015 m. Estijos muziejai išleido 467-is skirtingų rūšių neperiodinius leidinius ir 7 pavadinimų periodinius leidinius. Statistinės analizės rezultatai parodė, kad muziejai daugiausia leido spausdintas knygas, įskaitant parodų katalogus, muziejų vadovus, konferencijų rinkinius ir kt. Leidybinė veikla dažniausiai buvo orientuota į mokslinį turinį ir meno knygas.
Elektroniniu formatu buvo išleista palyginti nedaug publikacijų, skirtų mokymo medžiagai ir moksliniams tekstams, prieinamų tiek popieriniu, tiek PDF formatu. Muziejų leidėjai vertina platų elektroninių leidinių platinimą ir geresnį jų prieinamumą; jie apibūdino elektroninę leidybą kaip greitesnę ir pigesnę spausdinimo alternatyvą. Muziejuose, kurie dar nepradėjo publikuoti elektroniniu būdu, trūko šiai veiklai būtino personalo arba jų leidybos apimtys buvo labai ribotos. Šie muziejai taip pat suvokė, kad jų tikslinės grupės nebuvo suinteresuotos elektroniniais leidiniais.
Kitos leidinių rūšys, įskaitant žemėlapius, plakatus, vaizdo įrašus, garsines knygas ir spausdintą muzikos partitūrą, sudarė labai nedidelę visų leidinių dalį. Daugiausia muziejaus leidinių buvo išleista estų kalba arba (daugiakalbių leidinių atveju) estų kalba buvo įtraukta kaip viena iš leidinio kalbų (iš viso 436 leidiniai). Siekiant bendrauti su užsienio lankytojais, daugybė leidinių išleidžiama anglų kalba arba įvairiomis kitomis kalbomis (240 leidinių, arba 51 proc.).
Duomenys apie leidybos proceso organizavimą buvo surinkti rengiant pusiau struktūruotus interviu su ekspertais iš dviejų didžiausių muziejų leidėjų – Estijos nacionalinio muziejaus ir Estijos dailės muziejaus. Be to, buvo atlikta darbuotojų, dirbančių leidyba užsiimančiuose muziejuose, apklausa. Atlikus statistinę muziejų leidybinės veiklos analizę, paaiškėjo, kurie muziejai užsiima leidyba (28 % visų Estijos muziejų), iš jų 53 publikavo daugiau nei vieną leidinį. Klausimynas buvo išsiųstas 51 muziejui (išskyrus didžiausius muziejus, kuriuose buvo rengiami interviu). Atsakymai buvo gauti iš 27 muziejų.
Pirmieji leidybos proceso etapai (rašymas ir redagavimas) bei platinimas dažniausiai vyksta naudojantis „vidaus“ paslaugomis visuose į tyrimą įtrauktuose muziejuose. Didesni muziejai patys užsiima dizainu ir maketavimu, o mažesni naudojasi užsakomosiomis paslaugomis. Vertimo ir spausdinimo paslaugas paprastai užsako visi muziejai. Planuodami savo ateitį muziejai orientuojasi į platesnę spausdinimo pagal užsakymą veiklą, taip pat rinkodaros veiklos stiprinimą.
Muziejai vertina vidinę leidybinę veiklą kaip savarankišką, greitą, lanksčią ir patogesnę nei alternatyvūs leidybos būdai. Apklausos respondentai pabrėžė, kad nepriklausomybė suteikia galimybę įgyvendinti muziejaus misiją ir publikuoti leidinius, kurių nė viena leidykla nepriimtų dėl labai mažo skaitytojų skaičiaus ar vietinės svarbos temos. Ribotas platinimas, nedidelis darbuotojų skaičius ir ribotos finansinės galimybės buvo įvardyta kaip pagrindinės kliūtys, trukdančios vidinei leidybinei veiklai.
Gauti rezultatai buvo palyginti su britės Sarah Anne Hughes tyrimų apie Jungtinės Karalystės muziejus ir vokietės Madeleine Winter tyrimų apie Vokietijos muziejus duomenimis.[full article, abstract in English; abstract in Lithuanian]
The article introduces the study of museum publishing in Estonia in 2011‒2015 that aims at establishing the production trends and the characteristic features of the publishing process. Production data was gathered from the Estonian national bibliography database, information about the organisation of the publishing process was collected via interviews and a survey. The data collection identified 467 non-periodical and7 periodical publications, including mainly printed books (catalogues, museum guides, conference collections, etc.), dominated by scholarly content and art books. E-books were mainly represented by relatively few publications of educational materials and scholarly texts, issued both on paper and in pdf format. The first stages of the publishing process (writing and editing) as well as distribution are usually done in-house in all the studied museums. The larger museum publishers also handle the design and layout themselves whereas the smaller museums use outsourcing. Translation and printing is usually outsourced by all museums. Making their future plans, the museums consider wider use of print on demand as well as strengthening of marketing activities
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
The 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
“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
We 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
We 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
We 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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
In Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
