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
Heiner Goebbels, die DJs und das Sampling. Überlegungen zu Geschichte und Methode Künstlerischen Forschens im zeitgenössischen Musiktheater
Full text linkDer Beitrag widmet sich Heiner Goebbels’ Methode Künstlerischen Forschens, die der Komponist unter Betonung des Experimentierens mit vorgefundenem Material im Kollektiv und im Verweis auf die Technik und Technologien der DJ-Culture als ,Sampling als Haltung‘ beschreibt. Anschließend an eine historische Befragung des Samplings als Erbe der Technik der Collage diskutiert der Beitrag Goebbels’ Methode im Vergleich zur Arbeit der Diskjockeys und berücksichtigt dabei vor allem Aspekte der Autorschaft und Selbstreferentialität. Eine Analyse von Stifters Dinge fragt darauf aufbauend, inwiefern Goebbels’ Sampling-Methode mit der Überführung in den Bereich des Szenischen die historische Technik der Collage und die Technologie des Samplers aufnimmt und möglicherweise überwindet.The article is devoted to Heiner Goebbels\u27 method of artistic research, which the composer describes as "sampling as attitude", emphasizing the experimentation with material found in the collective and referring to the techniques and technologies of DJ culture. After a historical survey of sampling as the heir of collage-technique, the article discusses Goebbels\u27 method in comparison to the work of the disc jockeys, taking into account aspects of authorship and self-referentiality. An analysis of Stifters Dinge asks how Goebbels\u27 sampling method, with the transition to the realm of the scene, picks up and possibly overcomes the historical technique of collage and sampler technology
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
Opera_Music_Theatre 2020
Full text linkOn the occasion of the 45th anniversary of the Research Institute for Music Theatre Studies (fimt), the tenth issue of ACT–Journal for Music and Performance is dedicated to current trends in contemporary western opera and music theatre.What does it actually mean to compose or create an opera or music theatre nowadays? What are the artists’ methods and approaches? What topics and questions do their compositions negotiate? What is their material, what are their media? What structures, forms, and aesthetics can we observe? Can we possibly describe some sort of general tendencies within these many different aesthetic forms of expression? And how can we grasp all of this from a scholarly perspective?
These are some of the questions addressed by the eight articles in this issue writtenby ten authors whose home offices are located in many places, including Australia, the United Kingdom, Spain, and Germany. Together, their texts provide a kaleidoscopic view onto a dense, but for that very reason stimulating, situation in the field of music theatre. However, as editors we would like to point out two main aspects the individual articles repeatedly draw upon in one or another way.First, there is the reflection on the relationship between ‘opera’ and ‘music theatre’ (‘Musiktheater’ in a wide sense) by focussing on working methods, performance venues, or the question of traditional operatic forms and dramaturgies from various angles.Second, there is a discussion about the relationship between theory and practice. Several analyses show how objects interrogate theory. Two author duos examine their own compositional practice. Conversely, other authors attempt to make abstract, philosophical concepts methodically connectable. In this way, this issue of ACTultimately shows that subject matter and scholarly debate are not only closely intertwined but also reciprocally affect each other
