STATEMENTS OF DOCTOR TARASENKOV ON THE LAST DAYS OF GOGOL'S LIFE: SCIENTIFIC AND CRITICAL ANALYSIS
No full textIn the article, Dr. Tarasenkov's notes on the last days of Gogol's life were critically analyzed. Discrepancies of the published text with draft autographs are revealed. It is established that the most important source of information for the author was the oral stories of Count Tolstoy, reproduced in the text of notes from the first person. The diagnosis of Gogol's death illness, made by Tarasenkov, relied not so much on the results of his medical examination, but rather on the prevalent ideas in society that Gogol had died from exhaustion, that is, simply put, starved himself.</jats:p
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
Library of Russian Artists in Rome
No full textThe article highlights the history of the library of Russian artists in Rome, which N.V. Gogol took part in the creation. The fate of the Roman library of the writer remains unknown to this day. Gogol's books (which belonged to him or those that he could hold in his hands during his stay in Italy), apparently, may be in the private library of A.A. Ivanov in Rome, now owned by relatives of the artist; or in the collections of the Central Scientific Library in Rome, which received the former library of Russian artists — Roman boarders.</p
"HOW SWEET IT IS TO DIE!" The death of Gogol as a testament to his descendants. Article 2
No full textThe article reconstructs the events of the last days of Gogol's life (1-21 February 1852: The Maslenaya Week, the first and the beginning of the second week of Lent). Only in the light of Gogol's church world outlook his behavior in the days of death becomes understandable. The interpretation of the litter on the margins of the Bible belonging to Gogol is offered: "Demand" against the words of St. Apostle Paul: "... I have a desire to be dissolved and to be with Christ ..." (Phil. 1: 23).</jats:p
"HOW SWEET IT IS TO DIE!" The death of Gogol as a testament to his descendants. Article 3
No full textThe article examines the events of the last days of Gogol's life, the circumstances of the burning of manuscripts, as well as the version of the causes of the death of the writer, in particular, the widespread belief that he starved himself to death. Fortieth day after the death of Gogol in the cemetery of the St. Daniel Monastery. The words "She, come, Lord Jesus" (Revelation 22:20), carved on the tombstone of Gogol, undoubtedly express the most important thing in his life and work: the desire to acquire the Holy Spirit and prepare the soul for a meeting with the Lord.</jats:p
"HOW SWEET IT IS TO DIE!" The death of Gogol as a testament to his descendants. Article 1
No full textThe article attempts to reconstruct the picture of the last days of Gogol's life on the basis of reliable documentary facts, to answer the questions without the solution of which the creation of a scientific biography of the writer is impossible. They encircle spiritual, worldview and creative problems. In particular, the events related to the death of Khomyakova E.M., in which Gogol, according to contemporaries, saw a foreknowledge for himself, are considered.</jats:p
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
