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
The boundaries of attribution: attribute complement, predicative complement and manner adjunt
No full textEn este trabajo analizamos los límites entre distintas construcciones (atributo, predicativo y complemento de modo), y demostraremos que existe un continuo entre las mismas, a la vez que señalaremos las pautas sintácticas y semánticas que rigen su funcionamiento y sus interferencias. Demostraremos también que los sintagmas preposicionales pueden funcionar como predicativos descriptivos al estar marcados gramaticalmente con diversas pautas de funcionamiento.This paper examines the boundaries between different constructions (attribute, predicative and manner adjunt), and we will demonstrate that there is a continuum between them, as well as we will point out the syntactic and semantic patterns governing its functioning and its interference. We will also show that prepositional phrases can function as depictive predicatives because they are grammatically marked with various patterns of functioning.Este trabajo forma parte del proyecto de investigación FFI2010-19946, financiado por el Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación del Gobierno de España
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
Construcciones posesivas de compañía en español
No full textEn este trabajo nos proponemos estudiar las construcciones posesivas comitativas del español. Para ello expondremos, en primer lugar, una introducción general a la posesión comitativa, y continuaremos con el tratamiento de la posesión comitativa en portugués. A partir de ahí, nos centraremos en el caso del español, y comprobaremos cómo todos los verbos pseudoatributivos compatibles con estar permiten las estructuras consideradas. Finalmente, haremos un análisis de los verbos atributivos estar y quedar con construcciones comitativas y determinaremos sus principales esquemas de funcionamiento. Los ejemplos proceden de los primeros usos de las construcciones según el CORDE.This paper aims to examine the features of comitative possessive constructions in Spanish. After a general overview of the concept of comitative possession, the first part of the study focuses on the way these constructions work in Portuguese, which leads the author to delve into the nature of comitative possession in Spanish. The study reveals that all pseudo-attributive verbs which are compatible with estar can be used in constructions of this type. In the final sections, the author analyses the attributive verbs estar and quedar in comitative constructions and provides a detailed description of their main patterns. The examples are based on the earliest uses of these constructions as recorded in the CORDE.Este trabajo forma parte del proyecto de investigación FFI2010-19946, financiado por el Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación del Gobierno de España
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
Atribución y construcciones posesivas de compañía
No full textEn este trabajo partimos del análisis tipológico de la posesión comitativa, y demostramos que la misma se da en las lenguas románicas que diferencian entre un verbo atributivo aspectualmente temporal y otro permanente. A partir de ahí, comprobamos cómo la posesión comitativa se da, en el caso del español, con todos los verbos pseudoatributivos compatibles con estar. Finalmente, hacemos un análisis de los verbos atributivos estar y quedar con construcciones comitativas y determinamos sus principales esquemas de funcionamiento. Los ejemplos vienen dados a partir de los primeros usos de las construcciones según el CORDE.This paper deals with a typological analysis of the comitative possession. It will be shown that it is manifested in the Romance languages which exhibit a difference between an aspectually temporary attributive verb and an aspectually permanent attributive verb. Then, it follows that the comitative possession may appear with all pseudo-attributive verbs which are compatible with estar. Finally, attributive verbs estar and quedar are analyzed in comitative constructions, and their main functioning schemes are consequently determined. The examples are based on the earliest uses of these constructions as recorded in the CORDE.Este trabajo forma parte del proyecto de investigación FFI2010-19946, financiado por el Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación del Gobierno de España
