Meaningful Interaction in a Local Context:Music Therapy with Children having Severe Functional Limitations including Autism (Keynote)
No full textThis keynote is based on a Ph.D. thesis on development of socially meaningful interaction in music therapy with children with very poor communication skills (Holck 2002). The aim was to identify some of the conditions, whereby actions can be understood as meaningful - that is, whereby the child and the music therapist can 'read' each other's actions as socially meaningful in the context. Theoretically the approach was informed by interaction theory and infant research, pointing out the importance of a joint context, understood as a joint interaction history as a basis for meaningful interaction. Through the method of qualitative video analysis (see Holck et al. 2005), “Interaction Themes” were identified, defined and delimitated as examples of joint interaction histories between children and their music therapists (Holck 2004). During the keynote, video recordings of Interaction Themes will be shown, followed by an explanation of the clinical significance of the common interaction history embodied in each Interaction Theme. On a more general level, a social-pragmatic point of view will be discussed in relation to the effect of music therapy with these children. Holck, U.

Supervision during music therapy training: An interview with two Swedish supervisors
Full text linkSupervision has been a significant part of the music therapy programme at the Royal College of Music in Stockholm since it commenced in 1981. Supervisors in Sweden are most often academically trained and in this paper I discuss perspectives on supervision as part of a learning process through an interview with two supervisors. Ingrid Hammarlund and Sören Oscarsson have been supervising students from the music therapy programme in Stockholm since the 1990s and I present their reflections and experiences regarding topics such as the role of the supervisor, the role of music, the group format and the development of a professional identity

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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe 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
