    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

    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

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    We 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

    We 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

    We 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

    [[abstract]]  從詩的本質而論《詩經》的源頭,其一在詩,一在歌,是以《詩經》本具有音樂性,本與音樂密切相關。詩、樂異源而同流,至春秋末期,又因社會、歷史、文化等因素而逐漸走上分離之途,《詩》之樂漸亡,《詩 》樂問題為後人束之高閣;然《詩》、樂既於本質密切相關,則捨樂論《 詩》,所得不免淺蹙,是以本文欲從音樂的角度,對《詩》樂合一的本質作一番深入的研究。而「樂」的原型,就形式而言是詩、樂、舞合一的整體;就內容而言,則是與禮結合的儀,是以本文研究的範圍,除探討《詩經》在音樂文學上的相關議題與表現,亦探討其在音樂文明上的呈現與價值。首章緒論說明詩、樂的本質與合離的過程;二章從其與音樂關係研究的歷史來考察,在歷來眾說中,綜理其與音樂的關係;三章從音樂編輯分類來看音樂因素在其中所佔的分量及各類的音樂風格;四章從現存的歌詞 ,探討其在樂曲、節奏與樂音上可能的表現;五章探討《詩經》中的樂舞 ,反映當時樂舞的盛況;六章探討《詩經》中的器樂,將各樂器形制的考察與《詩經》的記載相互印證,以補充或印證音樂史上的研究,並進而理解樂音在詩義上的應用;七章探討《詩經》各典禮用樂的情形,以與後世禮書所載互為印證,並進而歸納先秦史料所載典禮用《詩》樂的情形。八章結論處,一方面歸納《詩經》與音樂文學相關的議題與表現,發現《詩經》在產生、結集、流傳、編輯上均與音樂有不同程度的關聯,而其在音樂上的表現,對後世音樂文學具有相當的示範與啟示作用。另一方面則歸納《詩經》在音樂文明上的呈現與價值,顯示《詩經》有三分之一強的篇章,必與樂相關,而在宗周禮樂教育中,《詩》與樂一始一成,從另一面向持續發展《詩》、樂的密切關係。

    [[abstract]]「重章疊詠」為《詩經》主要的和代表性的表達形式與創作方式。 本論文運用綜 合、歸納法,從形式、內容兩方面,探析《詩經》重章之 藝術。文分九章:首章「緒 論」;第二章就形式、方式言,探究其章法 藝術;第三至八章,就內容、表義言,將 《詩經》重章分為「漸層」、 「互足」、「並列」、「協韻」、「相承」、「錯綜」 六大藝術,各類 分立專章,分項列舉詩文,解析其藝術手法及其藝術效用;第九章「 結 論」。 首章「緒論」,先敘本文研究動機、目的與方法;次乃界定重章之定義, 以確定 研究範疇;末則探究重章之起源與發展,以進一步認識重章本質 。 第二章,重章「章法」的藝術,條分縷析重章 疊詠的「方式」、呈現的「形式」 及其所發揮的藝術效用。本章之研究 ,可對《詩經》「重章」藝術,有基礎的、概要 性的瞭解。 第三章,重章「漸層」的藝術,即前後章有深淺、層次之異。若僅具一個 層次者 為「翻疊」,有「上疊」與「下疊」兩種;若具兩個以上層次者 為「層遞」,有「遞 升」與「遞降」兩種。 第四章,重章「互足」的藝術,即前後章各省一邊,互相補足。若省略文 字者為 「互文」,前章句義未完,須待「互文」以見義,有「完全式」 與「不完全式」兩種 ;若省略事物者為「互體」,前章章義未完,則須 待「互體」以足之,有「相應式」 與「平行式」兩種。 第五章,重章「並列」的藝術,即前後章無先後、淺深、主次之分,若相 互對立 者,則為「對列」,有「一體兩面」與「兩體對列」兩種;若相 互平行者,則為「平 列」,有「同體異部」與「異體平列」兩種。 第六章,重章「協韻」的藝術,即專為押韻而變文。若以顛倒字、詞、句 變換疊 詠者為「交錯」,有「同句交錯」與「異句交錯」兩種;若以同 義字詞變換疊詠者則 為「義同」,有「義本同」與「協韻義同」兩種。 第七章,重章﹁承接﹂的藝術,即材料排列前後銜接。若按空間、人倫次 序排列 者為「相次」,有「空間相次」與「人倫相次」兩種;若按時間 順序承接者則為「相 承」,有「動態相承」與「靜態相承」兩種。 第八章,重章﹁錯綜﹂的藝術,即非單純運用一種重章藝術,若再加上一 章提起 、總結者為「凡目」,有「先凡後目」、「先目後凡」兩大項; 若有兩種以上重章藝 術合併運用者則為「錯綜」,有「重疊式」與「交 替式」兩種。 第九章,結論。一方面從形式、 內容言,歸納統計重章之藝術表現,以獲致一些 啟示與證明;一方面就 藝術、訓詁言,綜合歸納重章之效用,益見其藝術性與研究價 值。 none none
