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
Christus solus numquam solus. Salvific mediatorship of Jesus Christ According to Celestyn Stanisław Napiórkowski
No full textWydział TeologicznyZbawcze pośrednictwo Jezusa Chrystusa jest dla chrześcijaństwa zagadnieniem szczególnej wagi, ponieważ stawia wspólnotę wyznawców Chrystusa na wyjątkowym miejscu pośród innych religii. Chociaż zawierają one w sobie elementy prawdy, to – zgodnie ze słowami Pisma Świętego – nie ma w żadnym innym zbawienia, jak tylko w imieniu Jezusa Chrystusa (por. Dz 4,12). Temat pośrednictwa wzbudzał i ciągle wzbudza różnego typu dyskusje, zwłaszcza o podłożu teologicznym, ekumenicznym i pastoralnym. Wyjątkowa sytuacja pojawia się w kontekście mariologii i kultu maryjnego. Szczególne miejsce na tym polu zajmuje Celestyn Stanisław Napiórkowski, który podejmował ten temat od ponad 50 lat. Celem rozprawy jest zaprezentowanie naczelnej zasady lubelskiego teologa Christus solus numquam solus, która stanowi przewodnią myśl jego refleksji na temat zbawczego pośrednictwa Chrystusa. S.C. Napiórkowski przyjmuje, że wszystko co usprawiedliwiające i zbawcze otrzymujemy dzięki Chrystusowi. W tym znaczeniu Chrystus i tylko On jest pośrednikiem zbawienia (solus Christus). Ale jedyny i doskonały Pośrednik nie zbawia bez pośrednictwa stworzeń, które włącza w orbitę swojej zbawczej aktywności. Tylko Chrystus działa zbawczo, ale nie czyni tego bezpośrednio, lecz w swej pośredniczącej misji posługuje się osobami (np. świętymi) oraz zwiastowanym słowem, znakami sakramentalnymi i szafarzami (numquam solus).Salvific mediatorship of Jesus Christ is for Christianity an issue of special importance because it places the community of Christ followers in an exceptional situation among other religions. Although other religions contain elements of truth, according to the Bible, there is no salvation in any other name but in the name of Jesus Christ (cf. Acts 4,12). The subject of mediatorship has been initiating discussions of different type, especially on theological, ecumenical and pastoral grounds. An exceptional situation emerges in the context of Mariology and Marian cult. Celestyn Stanisław Napiórkowski, who brought the subject for over 50 years, has a particular place in this field. The aim of this dissertation is to present the basic principle of the theologian from Lublin: Christus solus numquam solus. It is a guiding idea of his reflection upon salvic mediatorship of Christ. S.C. Napiórkowski assumes that all that is exculpatory and salvic is received thanks to Christ. In this sense only Christ and only he is the intermediary of salvation (solus Christus). But the only and absolute Intermediary does not save without mediation of beings, He incorporates them in the orbit of his salvific activity. Only Christ saves us but He does not do it directly and in His intercessory mission employs people (i.e. saints) and preached word, sacramental signs and ministers of sacraments (numquam solus)
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
Recenzja książki Reginy Willi, Mutter – Gefährtin – Jüngerin. Maria im Spiegel patristischer und scholastischer Schriftauslegung, Verlag Friedrich Pustet, Regensburg 2021, ss. 368
Full text linkThe book is a collection of six dissertations on the subject of theological image of Mary from patristic and scholastic perspective of the Scripture. Premature death of the author did not allow for the publication to form a coherent whole. Her coworkers, having introduced some minor editorial corrections, decided to publish her typescript (without an introduction or a conclusion). Regina Willi chose a few pericopes and Marian motifs from the Scripture (e.g. Mulier fortis, Mater Ecclesiae, Mater unitatis, Sedes sapientiae). Basing on these examples she shows how the Fathers of the Church and medieval writers analyzed and interpreted them in order to discover their allegorical meaning. They desired to deepen their understanding of the mystery of Mary.Książka jest zbiorem sześciu studiów na temat teologicznego obrazu Maryi w świetle patrystycznej i scholastycznej wykładni Pisma Świętego. Przedwczesna śmierć autorki nie pozwoliła jej uczynić z nich spójnej całości. Jej współpracownicy, po naniesieniu drobnych poprawek redakcyjnych, postanowili przygotowany przez nią maszynopis opublikować (bez wstępu i zakończenia). Regina Willi wybrała z Biblii kilka perykop i motywów maryjnych (np. Mulier fortis, Mater Ecclesiae, Mater unitatis, Sedes sapientiae). Na ich przykładzie ukazuje jak Ojcowie Kościoła i pisarze średniowieczni je analizowali i interpretowali, aby odkryć ich sens alegoryczny. Pragnęli w ten sposób pogłębić rozumienie tajemnicy Maryi. 
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
