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

Letter from William C. Brice to Mortimer Wheeler, May 29, 1957
Brice refutes the case of the Society of Antiquaries of London's reason for discontinuing Scripta Minoa III. Brice states, given the status of Linear A research, that nothing would be more useful than a publication of the existant Linear A documents, as Scripta Minoa III was planned. He finishes the letter by asking for recommendations for continuing the project through the publisher Archaeologia.Classic

Letter from William C. Brice to Mortimer Wheeler, May 19, 1957
Brice writes personally to Wheeler, President of the Society of Antiquaries of London, to question why Scripta Minoa III was discontinued. He questions the Council's decision and view that the work's research would be outdated when published, stressing his three years of editing and consulting experts like Ventris. He remarks that only three persons had seen the revised manuscripts (casting doubt on the integrity of the Council's decision): himself, Maurice Pope and Micahel Ventris.Classic
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
