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
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
Neologismos de origen catalán en el latín de Pere Marsili
No full textLa versión latina del Llibre dels fets de Jaume I, efectuada por el dominico catalán Pere Marsili a principios del siglo xiv, muestra algunas características lingüísticas procedentes de la influencia de la lengua catalana, que era la lengua del texto orginal y del autor de la versión latina. Estas características confirman que se trata de una versión del catalán al latín. Entre ellas destaca la creación, original de Marsili, de cierto léxico latino de origen catalán.The Latin version of the Llibre dels fets of James I, written by the Dominican friar Pere Marsili at the beginning of the fourteenth century, shows some linguistic features of the influence of Catalan, language of the original text and of the author. These features confirm that it is a translation from Catalan into Latin. They include also the creation of some new Latin terms, formed from the influence of Catalan.Este trabajo se realiza en el marco de los proyectos Corpus Documentale Latinum Valencie (VIGROB-145) reconocido por el Vicerrectorado de Investigación de la Universidad de Alicante, y Redes sociales y proyección económica en una sociedad de frontera : el sur del reino de Valencia entre los siglos XIII y XV (HAR2010-22090)
Latin Epic Poetry for James I of Aragon: the Poem Triumphus Valentinus by the Valencian Novator Josep Ignasi Barberà
No full textEl poema Triumphus Valentinus del valencià Josep Ignasi Barberà, obra encara inèdita i poc coneguda, està format per més de cinc mil hexàmetres llatins que narren la presa de Valencia per part del rei Jaume I. Es tracta d’un poema de principi del segle xviii, amb característiques pròpies del gust neoclàssic i preil·lustrat, on coincideixen l’interès per la història valenciana, la tradició clàssica grecoromana i el reflex del canvi dinàstic a la corona hispànica. El model estètic seguit per l’autor és clarament l’Eneida de Virgili, tant per forma com per contingut. Malgrat l’interès mostrat per autors coetanis com Gregori Maians, l’obra ha passat pràcticament desapercebuda.The poem Triumphus Valentinus, a text of the Valencian poet Josep Ignasi Barberà, is a still unpublished and not well known work. It is composed by more than five thousand Latin hexameters telling the conquest of Valencia by King James I of Aragon. It is a poem created in the early eighteenth century literature, with features of neoclassical and pre-Enlightenment poetry, where the interests in the history of Valencia, in the classical Greco-Roman tradition, and in the dynastic change of the Hispanic crown meet. The aesthetical model followed by the author is clearly Virgil‘s Aeneid, regarding both contents and form. Despite the interest shown by authors like Gregori Maians, this poem has been almost unnoticed
Importance of the Latin chronicle of Pere Marsili
No full textLa publicació de l’edició crítica de les obres completes de Pere Marsili ha permès als especialistes l’accés a la crònica llatina traduïda per l’autor mallorquí sobre la base del Llibre dels fets català. El fet que aquesta crònica siga una traducció del català al llatí, feta a principis del segle XIV, dóna als estudiosos de filologia catalana una important font d’estudi. La comparació dels textos llatí i català obri noves possibilitats d’estudis filolò gics des del punt de vista literari, historiogràfic, lexicogràfic, ecdòtic i de la gramàtica històrica.Publication of a critical edition of the complete works of Pere Marsili has granted scholars access to the Latin chronicle translated by the Majorcan author on the basis of the Catalan Llibre dels fets. The fact that this chronicle is an early fourteenth-century translation into Latin from Catalan, provides Catalan scholars with an important focus of study. A comparison of the Latin and Catalan texts opens the way to further possible philological studies in the field of literature, historiography, lexicography, ecdoctics (literary criticism) and historical grammar
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
