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
Aktuelle Bestandsaufnahme des Wiener Walzers in Wien
No full textDie Geschichte des Walzers beginnt im 15. Jahrhundert; seit damals sind volkstümliche Drehtänze im deutschen Sprachraum bezeugt. Die Ansicht, dass der Walzer aus dem Ländler entstanden ist, weiß man heute überholt. Beide Tänze sind eher als Geschwister zu betrachten, deren Wege sich trennten. Der Ländler ist figurenreich und behielt sein gemächliches Tempo. Der Walzer blieb ohne Choreographie und erfuhr eine Beschleunigung des Tempos. Diese Beschleunigung hatte sowohl mit der einfachen Drehung zu tun als auch mit der nachbarock-aufgeklärten Zeit.
Der Wiener Walzer wurde vor allem durch Michael Pamer, Johann Strauss und Joseph Lanner berühmt. Lanner und Strauss spielten zunächst in der Kapelle Pamers, bevor sich beide selbständig machten und eigene Wege gingen. Sie behielten ihre Freundschaft – die beiden Herren standen ohnehin nicht in direkter Konkurrenz zueinander: Lanner hielt nämlich am Ländlerhumor fest, während Strauss den Witz in die Musik legte.
Ein musikalisches Merkmal des Wiener Walzers ist zweifelsfrei der Rhythmus der Begleitung: Der zweite und dritte Schlag sind nicht immer pünktlich. Die zwei wird vorgezogen und die drei verspätet – das macht den Wiener Walzer aus. Beim Tanz veränderte sich die Haltung des Paares zueinander: Anfangs war aufgrund der Kleidung und Moral großer Abstand zwischen den Tänzern. Mit der Zeit änderten sich die Mode, die moralischen Ansichten und auch das Tempo des Walzers. Um eine gemeinsame Drehachse
zu erlangen, brauchte es eine geschlossene Körperhaltung mit Hüftkontakt, wodurch eine detaillierte Fußtechnik wichtig wurde.
Auch in der heutigen Zeit spielt der Walzer keine geringe Rolle. Sowohl im touristischen Bereich, für Wiener, wie auch im Rahmen von Ballveranstaltungen ist der Walzer – gerade für die Weltstadt der Musik Wien – von großer Bedeutung.
In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird versucht, eine aktuelle Bestandsaufnahme des Wiener Walzers in Wien zu machen. Dabei wird auf die verschiedenen gesellschaftlichen Ebenen
eingegangen und aufgelistet, welche Möglichkeiten Wien bietet, damit ein Tourist, ein Wiener und auch ein Ballhungriger auf seine Kosten kommt – sowohl musikalisch als auch tänzerisch.The history of the Viennese Waltz began as early as the 15th century; with folk-like round dances documented throughout the German-speaking region. The waltz was often considered a final dance figure of the Landler, which might imply that the waltz had its origins in the Landler. This theory, however, is outdated. More probably, both dances ought to be considered as siblings going separate ways over the time. The Landler is rich in
figures and has maintained its leisurely tempo. The waltz, however, still lacks choreography and has experienced an increase in tempo. This acceleration is due to its simple rotation
and with the enlightened atmosphere of the time following the baroque period.
Michael Pamer along with Johann Strauss and Joseph Lanner made the Vienna Waltz famous. Lanner and Strauss originally played in Pamer’s orchestra before each of them took up their artistic direction. But they maintained their friendship, as they did not compete directly: Lanner adhered to the humour of the Landler, whereas Strauss put his wit into his music.
One of the musical features of the Viennese Waltz is undoubtedly the rhythm of its accompaniment. The waltz is exceptional because of the way the second and third beats are
played: mostly unpunctually. Beat two is brought forward and beat three a little bit belated – it is this detail that constitutes the Viennese Waltz. Dancing the waltz changed a couple’s
posture: Initially there was a big distance between the dancers due to dress code and moral standards. Gradually both fashion and morals and the tempo of the waltz changed. Sharing
the same rotation axis required hip contact and dancing closely, as a result exact footwork became important.
Even today the waltz still plays an important role. In tourism and within the civil society, as well as within the framework of a ball the Waltz is still of major importance, above all for the metropolis of music, Vienna.
This thesis tries to raise an inventory of the Viennese Waltz in Vienna itself, with due consideration of different social layers and of all the opportunities Vienna offers to tourists, citizens and ball enthusiasts, continuing to meet their expectations as to music and dance
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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe 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
No full textIn 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.
