Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Opstand in architectenland: De restauratie van de Grafelijke Zalen en de strijd over de monumentenzorg
Get PDFIn late 1895, in response to an ostensibly innocuous budget debate in the Lower House, a public war of words erupted over the prospective restoration and conversion of the Grafelijke Zalen (Counts’ Chambers) in the Binnenhof. Its desirability was not in dispute. However, in a matter of weeks, the discussion about which course to pursue and who should assume responsibility for the project escalated into a full-scale duel. On one side of the debate stood the Ministry of the Interior, led by the chief civil servant of the Department of Arts and Sciences (Kunsten en Wetenschappen or K&W), Victor de Stuers, and the architect Pierre Cuypers. Opposing them were the Ministry of Water, Trade and Industry (Waterstaat, for short) and the Society for the Advancement of Architecture (Maatschappij tot Bevordering der Bouwkunst). After De Stuers and Cuypers had implicitly claimed the project for the Ministry of the Interior, the Society registered a highly critical protest: it demanded that the Lower House leave responsibility for this ‘national treasure’ with the Ministry of Water, Trade & Industry and break with the fifteen-year-long approach to restorations dictated by K&W. The ‘stylistic purity’ demanded by De Stuers and Cuypers, based on their rather linear view of architectural history, left little scope for the Society’s somewhat more relativist approach, which combined restoration of a building’s artistic and historical values with the possibility of preserving multiple chronological layers. In the past De Stuers and Cuypers had nearly always managed, with the help of a few political intrigues, to impose their architectural vision, but on this occasion they were blocked by the Lower House.
The Minister of Water, Trade & Industry set up a four-member restoration commission – his own government architects, D.E.C. Knuttel and C.H. Peters, plus C. Muyskens and F.J. Nieuwenhuis from the Society – and invited his colleague from the Ministry of the Interior to appoint a fifth member. It was not until eighteen months later that Cuypers was duly appointed to the position and the restoration commission could set to work. The normally assertive Cuypers appears to have exerted very little influence over the course pursued by the commission. Instead of his highly developed appreciation for the gothic style, it was the concrete building history research of Peters and Nieuwenhuis that underpinned the commission’s choices. De Stuers and Cuypers continued to wield influence, but their near total dominance of government policy was a thing of the past and after the completion of the restoration in 1905 there was gradually more scope for other views on heritage restoration ethics.Eind 1895 ontstond naar aanleiding van een schijnbaar onschuldige budgetbespreking in de Tweede Kamer een publiek debat over de eventuele restauratie en herbestemming van de Grafelijke Zalen op het Binnenhof. Over de wenselijkheid daarvan was iedereen het wel eens. De discussie over welke koers daarbij moest worden aangehouden, en onder wiens verantwoordelijkheid het project zou dienen te vallen, escaleerde echter binnen een aantal weken volledig. In het debat stonden aan de ene kant het ministerie van Binnenlandse Zaken, met voorop de hoofdambtenaar van de afdeling Kunsten en Wetenschappen (K&W) Victor de Stuers en architect Pierre Cuypers. Daar tegenover stonden het ministerie van Waterstaat en de Maatschappij tot Bevordering der Bouwkunst. Nadat De Stuers en Cuypers het project impliciet hadden opgeëist voor het ministerie van Binnenlandse Zaken, kwam vanuit de Maatschappij een uiterst kritisch protest: de Tweede Kamer werd dringend verzocht de verantwoordelijkheid voor dit ‘landsgebouw’ bij Waterstaat te laten en te breken met de vanuit de afdeling K&W al vijftien jaar gedicteerde koers bij restauraties. De eisen die De Stuers en Cuypers vanuit hun nogal lineaire benadering van de architectuurgeschiedenis aan ‘stijlzuiverheid’ stelden, lieten weinig ruimte over voor de wat meer relativistische benadering van de Maatschappij, waarin naast herstel van de artistieke en historische waarde van een gebouw ook het behouden van meerdere tijdlagen mogelijk was. Tot dan waren De Stuers en Cuypers vrijwel altijd in staat geweest met de nodige politieke intriges hun architectuurhistorische visie door te drukken, maar nu werden ze door de Tweede Kamer geblokkeerd.
De minister van Waterstaat stelde een restauratiecommissie in van vier leden – de eigen rijksbouwmeesters Knuttel en Peters en vanuit de Maatschappij Muysken en Nieuwenhuis – en nodigde zijn collega van Binnenlandse Zaken uit om daar een vijfde lid aan toe te voegen. Pas anderhalf jaar later werd Cuypers als zodanig benoemd en kon de restauratiecommissie starten. De invloed van de doorgaans zeer dominante Cuypers op de koers van de commissie lijkt zeer beperkt te zijn geweest. Niet diens hoogontwikkelde gevoel voor de gotische stijl, maar het concrete bouwhistorische onderzoek van Peters en Nieuwenhuis vormde de basis voor de gemaakte keuzes. De Stuers en Cuypers bleven invloedrijk, maar hun vrijwel totale dominantie van het overheidsbeleid was voorbij en na de afronding van de restauratie in 1905 ontstond langzaam meer ruimte voor andere visies op restauratie-ethiek
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Get PDFWe 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.
