Multi-CAST Tondano (audio recordings)
No full text<p>This archive contains audio recordings for the <strong>Multi-CAST Tondano</strong> corpus (Brickell 2016), originally published in June 2016 with version 1606 of the <i>Multi-CAST</i> collection (Haig & Schnell 2015). The annotation and documentation files accompanying these files have been archived separately. The recordings are available as WAV and MP3 files.</p><p>The Toulour dialect of <strong>Tondano</strong> [<a href="https://glottolog.org/resource/languoid/id/tond1251">tond1251]</a> is an Austronesian (Malayo-Polynesian, Philippine, Minahasa, North, Northeast) language spoken in and to the east of the town of Tondano, which is located in the Minahasa regency of North Sulawesi, Indonesia. All Minahasan languages are endangered and have been shifting to the most commonly used language of wider communication, Manado Malay [<a href="https://glottolog.org/resource/languoid/id/mala1481">mala1481]</a>, since the early 20th century (Wolff 2010: 299). Personal experience of the researcher estimates the number of fluent speakers of Tondano at around 30 000.</p><p>This corpus is the result of fieldwork undertaken by Timothy Brickell as part of PhD candidature at La Trobe University, Melbourne, Australia between 2011 and 2015 (see Brickell 2015). The speakers recorded were of both genders, of various ages, and from a number of professions, with many older speakers already retired. The texts in Multi-CAST constitute a subset of the 20 recordings made by Brickell. In some instances speakers discuss a topic chosen just prior to recording, in others they talk while engaging in traditional activities, while in some they narrate an elicitation video which depicts other community members carrying out traditional cultural activities.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Citation</strong></p><ul><li>Brickell, Timothy. 2016.

Multi-CAST Nafsan (audio recordings)
No full text<p>This archive contains audio recordings for the <strong>Multi-CAST Nafsan</strong> corpus (Thieberger & Brickell 2019), originally published in August 2019 with version 1908 of the <i>Multi-CAST</i> collection (Haig & Schnell 2015). The annotation and documentation files accompanying these files have been archived separately. The recordings are available as WAV and MP3 files.</p><p>The <strong>Nafsan</strong> [<a href="https://glottolog.org/resource/languoid/id/sout2856">sout2856</a>] language, also known as South Efate, is a Southern Oceanic language spoken on the island of Efate in central Vanuatu. As of 2005, there are approximately 6 000 speakers of Nafsan living in coastal villages from Pango to Eton. A description of the language can be found in Thieberger (2006).</p><p>The Multi-CAST Nafsan corpus constitutes a subset of the material collected by Nick Thieberger for his PhD research over three periods of fieldwork in the villages of Eratap and Erakor in South Efate between 1995 and 2000, and during subsequent trips. The entirety of the data has been archived in <a href="http://catalog.paradisec.org.au/collections/NT1">PARADISEC</a>, and can also be accessed via <a href="https://gerlingo.com/language_detail.php?langID=6">ANNIS</a>.

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
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
