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
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
Aspects des représentations de la langue orale chez les enseignantes et les enseignants des écoles secondaires francophones du Nouveau-Brunswick
No full textAinsi, dans les pages qui suivent, on retrouve dans l’ordre un survol de la situation de l’enseignement du français langue maternelle au Nouveau-Brunswick, un examen sommaire des résultats des tests linguistiques nationaux et internationaux auxquels ont participé les jeunes de la province, une recension des écrits utilisés dans cette recherche ainsi qu’une explication sur les représentations linguistiques et les conséquences possibles de ces représentations sur les comportements linguistiques. Ensuite, plusieurs explications par rapport à la méthodologie du travail seront apportées afin de décrire la composition du corpus et les milieux dans lesquels se situent les écoles secondaires ciblées par l’enquête. Suivra la compilation des données qui regroupera entre autres les perceptions qu’entretiennent les enseignants à l’égard de la langue des élèves, des exemples de modèles linguistiques personnels sur lesquels s’appuient les répondants pour évaluer l’oral des élèves, des opinions sur l’évaluation de l’oral en salle de classe dans toutes les matières et un survol des pratiques actuelles d’évaluation de l'oral dans les écoles secondaires de la province. Finalement, l’analyse des résultats et la discussion qui l’accompagne sauront faire état de certains aspects qui, sans se rattacher directement aux représentations, méritent une plus grande attention avant d’entreprendre systématiquement l'évaluation de la langue orale des jeunes du secondaire dans toutes les matières.statement of responsibility: par Marilyn Boudreau.--Le vol. 2 porte le titre : Transcription des entrevues recueillies chez les enseignantes et enseignants de 11e année dans les écoles secondaires du Nouveau-Brunswick : région 1 : le Nord-Est, région 2 : le Sud-Est, région 3 : le Nord-Ouest, région 4 : la Côte-Est, région 5 : le Sud, région 6 : le Nord.Également disponible sur microfiches.thesis: Thèse (M.A. Français) -- Université de Moncton, Faculté des arts et des sciences sociales, 2002.bibliography: Bibliogr. : f. 138-147.additional physical form: Également disponible sur microfiches et en version électronique
Les idéologies linguistiques chez quelques chroniqueurs du journal Le Devoir de 1990 à 2015 : examen d’un discours d’autorité
No full textL’article a pour objet d’examiner les idéologies linguistiques, plus particulièrement l’idéologie du standard, dans les textes de Louis Cornellier, de Christian Rioux et d’Antoine Robitaille, parus dans le quotidien Le Devoir entre 1990 et 2015. Le Devoir est considéré comme le journal des intellectuels, et les articles sur le français, tenus comme vrais et légitimes, font figure de discours d’autorité en la matière. À partir de l’examen de plus de 400 articles et en prenant pour cadre d’analyse les trois procédés sémiotiques (iconicité, récursivité et effacement) conçus par Judith Irvine et Susan Gal, l’auteure montre comment l’idéologie du standard traverse les textes, tout en se manifestant différemment selon le positionnement des chroniqueurs. Elle met l’accent sur la dimension historiographique, soit le parcours intellectuel des chroniqueurs, pour bien souligner que les opinions sur la langue se transforment au gré des événements politiques et sociaux d’une époque. La « déstandardisation » qui s’est opérée depuis les années 1960 au Canada français a entraîné avec elle une forme de « performance » de l’identité, processus qui met en scène les particularités linguistiques régionales, y compris les emprunts à l’anglais, ce qui ébranle les fondements sur lesquels s’est construite l’identité francophone au Canada depuis la fin du xixe siècle.This article examines linguistic ideologies, in particular the ideology of the standard, in columns written by Louis Cornellier, Christian Rioux and Antoine Robitaille, in the daily newspaper Le Devoir between 1990 and 2015. Considered to be the newspaper of the intelligentsia, Le Devoir’s articles on the French language are held as true and legitimate and believed to be the discourse of authority on the matter. The author based her analysis of over 400 columns on the semiotic framework developed by Judith Irvine and Susan Gal which uses three semiotic processes – iconization, fractal recursivity and erasure – to show how the ideology of the standard transcends these writings, though it manifests itself differently with each author. She emphasizes the historiographical dimension, i.e. the columnists’ intellectual trajectory, to show that opinions on language change with political and social events of the times. Destandardization which took place in French Canada during the sixties is associated with a form of identity “performance”, a process that emphasizes regional linguistic features, including borrowings from English, thereby undermining the basis on which Canadian francophone identity has been built since the end of the 19 th century
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
