What Christians Believe: the story of God and People
Full text linkWhat Christians Believe: The Story of God and People aims to present the essentials of Christian faith in narrative form, in very simple words, without assuming any previous knowledge, and without using any specifically Christian vocabulary (e.g. words like “grace” or “salvation”). The purpose of using a limited vocabulary of simple and intelligible words is not to “dumb down” religious ideas and truths but, on the contrary, to elucidate them, and to articulate their components with clarity and precision. Furthermore, the words used in this “Story” are not only simple, but also, for the most part, universal: while “The Story” is written in English, it is not phrased in a “full English”, shaped by history, culture and tradition, but in “Minimal English”, in words most of which have exact semantic equivalents in all, or nearly all languages. While “The Story of God and People” presented here corresponds to the foundational Christian creeds (the Apostles’ creed and the Nicene creed) and has strong ties with one particular culture (from Abraham and Moses to Jesus), it can be understood by, and resonate with, readers of any cultural and ethnic background.
“The Story of God and People” starts with the concept of ‘God’, seen here as including love for people. It continues with the creation of the world, with God’s plans in relation to people; and with the stages of the realisation of these plans, with a focus on God’s special ‘covenants’ with Abraham and Moses. Then comes the culmination of the plan: God’s turning to the Jewish woman Mariam of Nazareth, the birth of Jesus, Jesus’ life, death and resurrection. The final chapters relate the sending of the Holy Spirit, the activities of the Apostles and the emergence of the Church. The last chapter echoes the theme of God’s love for people with which the story opens. Throughout, the focus is not only on the events, but also on their meaning. The interpretation of that meaning is nourished by Christian theology East and West, past and present, and is presented from the perspective of faith
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
