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
Tower and Welcome Centre, Trinity Church Gosforth, Newcastle
No full textThese two commissions involved the design and fabrication of a decoratively glazed tower and ‘Minister’s Octagon’ for the newly refurbished Trinity Church, Gosforth, Newcastle. The selection process for the commission was by competitive tendering from a shortlist of national artists
New Hartley Pit Disaster Memorial Stained Glass Windows
No full textTwo stained glass windows were designed for the church of St Alban’s Earsdon telling the story of the pit disaster. The two windows represent the theme of ‘death’ for the left hand window and ‘resurrection’ for the right hand window, the darkness on the one hand and the light on the other.There is much written and recorded from the time and since the pit disaster at New Hartley in 1862 and this wealth of information became the basis of the research for the window
Lady Chapel Windows, St Mary’s Parish Church, Whickham, Gateshead
No full textThis commission was to design and fabricate a series of four stained glass panels for the Lady Chapel of St Mary's Parish Church. The research for this commission centred on the different aspect of the Virgin Mary
Innovations in Architectural Glass
No full textNo longer is architectural glass confined to the ecclesiastical and the domestic. Architectural glass has come of age, confirming it as a truly versatile material with many applications in the urban environment. Within this field, public art sculpture and public seating are an interesting area of recent development.
Cate Watkinson designs with glass and light together in street furniture and proposes to elaborate on a project she has recently completed involving illuminated public art seating powered by energy gathered from photovoltaic cells (solar cells) incorporated into the seat design.
Seating such as this is innovative and exciting offering new formats/menus for the cityscape and a dramatic breakthrough fulfilling city/regional agendas on many fronts, e.g. economic, town planning, social wellbeing and tourism and can be made with sustainable lighting technology and in a material such as recycled or laminated glass which has a proven track record of durability in the public realm.
In 2002 she designed and fabricated public seating for several locations in Newcastle City Centre, England. These consisted of decorative laminated glass seat backs under lit by LED lighting strips. The challenge has been to design and develop glass seating where photovoltaic cells (solar cells) are laminated into the seats themselves. These then power LED lights in the seat. In the UK there is considerable interest in improving the built environment in towns and cities. To date, Cate has created seating not only in Newcastle, but other towns in the north and south of the country.
The advantages of LED illumination in public seating include: increased public safety at night, illumination with a sustainable source by the use of solar cells, use of LED light means little or no maintenance is needed once they are installed and also increased and enhanced aesthetics of the built environment.
Not only does this lecture offer an overview of innovations in public art glass in the UK presenting case studies of the use of new technologies, this presentation will take the audience on a journey of the making of large scale public art sculpture, through some of Cate’s previous commissions. For example a 21 foot high, 11 ton glass and stainless steel sculpture for the roof of the largest shopping mall in Europe. It will describe the highs and lows of working with new technologies and show just what can be achieved with good design and determination
