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
Ming dai zao zhong qi Songjiang cao shu yan jiu: yi Zhang Bi wei zhong xin = Cursive-script calligraphy of the Songjiang area during the early and mid Ming : with special reference to Zhang Bi
No full textM.Phil.During the second half of the 15th century, Zhang Bi (1425-1487) had been regarded as a leading master for his untrammeled style of cursive-script calligraphy. His reputation, however, began to decline in the first half of the 16th century when his calligraphy was criticized. Such a change of reputation in the case of Zhang Bi reflects the development of cursive-script calligraphy during the early and mid Ming, particularly that of the Songjiang area. As such, this thesis takes Zhang Bi for a case-study so as to look into a special phenomenon in the history of Ming calligraphy, i.e. the prevalence and characteristics of cursive-script calligraphy in Songjiang before the dominance of Wu school of calligraphy in the 16th century.This thesis reveal shows Zhang Bi formed his own calligraphic style and surpassed his Songjiang seniors such as Shen Du and Shen Can, who learnt from Song Ke and were highly respected in the court for their calligraphy. It discusses Zhang Bi’s success as a calligrapher in the social and cultural context of the Chenghua reign. Special attention is made on the transformation of Zhang Bi’s calligraphy through the examination of the seals, signatures and poems, as well as how his late-year calligraphy style was formed which won him great fame after the Chenghua period.Lastly, the thesis makes an account on the calligraphic trends of the 16thcentury in which Zhang Bi’s artistic style and his fame as a cursive-script master were very much challenged. In addition to looking at Zhang Bi’s followers and their artistic interpretations, it also makes clear how and why Zhang Bi’s calligraphy was heavily criticized, thus reflecting the different standards of evaluation in the literati circle, particularly that in the Wu area.本論文主要探討張弼的草書風格，如何在十五世紀下半葉迅速掀起潮流後，卻在十六世紀後的發展走向兩極化。通過接受者的角度，本文著重分析在十六世紀各地的仿作行為和書評觀點，從而帶出張弼草書風格面對的批評與挑戰，藉此更客觀地理解張弼在晚明書史中的評價以及地位。以活躍於成化年間的張弼為研究對象，主要是因其為松江籍的重要書家，具有代表性。明初松江籍書家為宮廷之貴，如中書舍人沈度、沈粲、朱孔昜等人，得到皇帝大臣欣賞；二沈受尊崇的地位，由此令學習宋克為脈絡的雲間字習風行一時。然而，張弼並沒有亦步亦趨地承襲此種地區風格，反而是積極擺脫宋克的影響，自成一家，這在他所處的時代中具有獨特和革新的意義。張弼的早年文獻及作品不多，本文深入挖掘作品中的線索，剖析當中未被注意的署款、印章及文獻等史料，重新定義並劃分出其早年至晚年書法面貌的轉變。藉以上風格演進的基礎研究，本文更進一步討論這種晚年風格的影響力，如何造就其書名在成化年間以後逐步形成。最後，本文將張弼草書書風置於十六世紀上半葉至萬曆年間作考察。這主要是思考和研究各地書家如何更進一步地吸收其草書，並轉化成更具個人特色及面貌的書風。直至萬曆年間，書評中對張弼的餘風泛濫甚為憎惡，抨擊此起彼落。評論和書風背後反映各自不同的價值觀和學問系統，均可從以上草書發展脈絡中得以理解。龍德俊."2020年9月".Parallel title from English abstract.Thesis M.Phil.

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
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
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
