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
The Radical Theology of Thomas Altizer: an Overview and Problems
Full text linkDijalektička napetost između fenomena ateizma i fenomena vjere nalazi se u temelju čovjekova religioznog iskustva svijeta oko sebe. Ta uvijek aktualna napetost kulminirala je u Nietzscheovoj kritici kršćanstva, prozivajući samo kršćanstvo. Šezdesetih godina XX. stoljeća teološki odgovor dan je Nietzscheu na Drugome vatikanskom koncilu i u teološkom pokretu zvanom »radikalna teologija«. Pokazalo se da je radikalna teologija skupni naziv za teološku misao nekolicine autora koji su sve samo ne jedinstveni što se tiče temeljnih ideja. Najznačajniji autor koji je doista radikalno shvatio Nietzscheov
proglas Božje smrti, i to u ontološkom smislu, jest Thomas Altizer. No,
on je glavne teološke teme, kao što su smrt Boga, utjelovljenje i nauk o Isusu, promišljao na nesustavan i nerijetko fragmentaran način obilježen ponajprije kritikom kršćanskoga klasičnog nauka o Bogu. Iz takvoga teološkog sustava proizišli su razni problemi: svođenje teologije na antropologiju, nauk o Bogu koji počiva na krivim predodžbama o Bogu, nelegitimno preuzimanje književne literature kao teološkog izvora, jednostrano kenotičko tumačenje uloge Isusa Krista u povijesti kršćanske teologije i neutemeljeno razumijevanje ekleziologije kao specifične univerzalne ekleziologije. Iako su temelji radikalne teologije vrlo upitni, ona je pridonijela tomu da se teologija okrenula intenzivnijem proučavanju fenomena ateizma. No, još više od toga, radikalna teologija se može tumačiti kao pokret koji je nastao unutar protestantske teologije kao kritički odgovor i tumačenje teologije Božje riječi Karla Bartha.Dialectical tension between atheism and faith is based upon human being´s religious experience of the world and himself/herself. This tension has culminated in Nietzsche´s critique of Christianity that denounced it. During the sixties of the last century theology answered Nietzsche at the II Vatican Council and through a theological movement called »radical theology«. It was shown that »radical theology«, as the common term for the group of authors, is far from uniform when it comes to the core ideas associated with it. It was a heterogeneous movement and its most important author was Thomas Altizer who understood Nietzschean proclamation of God’s death radically and in the ontological sense. He tried to reflect about the main theological ideas, like death of God, the Incarnation and the doctrine of Jesus Christ by accepting the ontological and theological fact of God’s death and he did it often in unsystematic and fragmentary way. Altizer begins his theology from the critique of traditional doctrine of God which is transcendent and distant. It became obvious that his theology will lead to several theological problems: it reduces theology to anthropology, his doctrine of God is based upon false image of God which appears from the lack of respect for the doctrine of God in the Christian Tradition, it takes over literature as a theological source, it holds one-sided interpretation of the kenosis of Jesus Christ in history of theology, and it interprets ecclesiology as a specific universal ecclesiology. Although foundations of »radical theology« were highly questionable, it made theology attentive to atheism. But, more than that, it can be interpreted as a movement within protestant theology that emerged as a revolt against the dominant dialectic theology of Karl Barth
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
