A sustainable archiving software solution for The Language Archive
Full text link[Archive X] has been developing a language archiving solution for more than 15 years now. The software is not only aimed at archiving and access but also integrates with a range of exploitation tools. This in house built solution was created from the ground up, since at the time no mature open source repository solutions were available. The situation today is rather different, with several widely used repository system solutions available, including open source solutions that are maintained by communities of developers. Since [Archive X] is now in a situation where it needs to reduce the number of staff required for the maintenance of its archiving software, it was decided to develop a new system based on one of the widely used open source repository solutions such as Fedora Commons (1) or DSpace (2).
In this paper we will describe the process of selecting the most suitable open source repository solution as the basis for [Archive X]. This includes the specification of the functional and technical requirements and their prioritization, as well as the evaluation of a number of repository solutions. This evaluation also includes an assessment of the long-term perspective of those solutions.
None of the existing repository solutions can provide the complete minimal functionality that [Archive X] requires from its archiving software. This means that additional components or modules need to be developed or adapted from the current software, regardless of the chosen repository solution. Still, we expect that using an existing extensible repository system as a basis will be less costly in the long run.
Several language archives, in particular those that serve as centers (3) within the CLARIN consortium, have already implemented different repository systems based on either DSpace or Fedora Commons. Their experiences and recommendations are also taken into account for the evaluation of the various options.
The final decision on which repository system will form the basis of the new archiving software will be taken by the end of September 2014. The development of the new archiving software will then start soon after that and a production-ready version will need to be finished by October 2016 at the latest.

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
