Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe 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
Author, publisher and bookseller : a tripartite synergy in Nigerian book industry
No full textThis work is about the roles of Author, Publisher and Bookseller in Book development in
Nigeria. The paper started by delving into the history of Book Publishing in Nigeria after
which it proceeded by defining who an author, a publisher, and a bookseller is and
expatiated on the indispensable roles of these key actors in Nigerian Book Industry and in
the emerging Information Society. Furthermore, the various constraints to book
development were identified while the paper advised on how the Book Industry can be
further promoted in Nigeria. However, the paper concluded and made recommendations
on how the Book sector can help in enhancing scholarship in the country
La fable chez Daniel Pennac - L'oeil du lopu et Cabot-caboche : deux romams-fable
No full textDissertação de mestrado em Literatura Francesa.Este trabalho estuda os romances L’oeil du Loup e Cabot-Caboche, de Daniel Pennac. No panorama actual da literatura francesa, Daniel Pennac é um dos grandes romancistas, com uma vasta obra romanesca e não só, uma vez que também privilegia outros géneros como o ensaio, o teatro, o conto e mesmo a Banda Desenhada. Contudo, na sua produção, destacam-se o romance policial e o romance dirigido ao público infantil e juvenil.
É esta última vertente, precisamente pela qual o autor começou, que o nosso trabalho escolheu para análise, sendo o seu principal objectivo o estudo da fábula.
A questão inicialmente levantada e a que o trabalho pretende responder é a seguinte: podemos considerar L’Oeil du Loup e Cabot-Caboche dois romances-fábula? Neste sentido, traça-se a panorâmica diacrónica do género fábula, desde os primórdios até à actualidade, analisando-se um dos textos do mestre do género do século XVII, Jean de La Fontaine, destacando-se as principais características da fábula.
A reescrita do género fábula, nestes romances, por um autor contemporâneo leva-nos a uma reflexão sobre a pertinência do género nos dias de hoje. As características da fábula clássica foram adaptadas às novas vivências do homem actual. Se antes, e através da fábula, se procurava dar voz aos animais, que falavam como homens, exactamente para alertar os homens acerca dos seus comportamentos reprováveis, actualmente, pela paródia e pela sátira, os animais mantêm a sua condição de animais, embora surjam bastante humanizados, ao passo que os homens são animalizados, invertendo-se os papéis. Pennac mostra como os animais, no seu convívio com os humanos, descrevem, pela palavra ou pelo pensamento, as atitudes dos homens, sendo os porta-vozes do autor e da sua lição de moral, na descoberta e na denúncia do “mundo às avessas”. Por isso, os animais conseguem relacionar-se e “firmar pactos de amizade” com determinados humanos – as crianças – representantes dos inocentes, também eles muitas vezes vítimas dos comportamentos dos adultos.
Daniel Pennac retrata, nestes dois romances, mas também nos outros da sua autoria, um universo fabulístico, onde os animais intervêm de forma peculiar, mas também um universo mágico e fantástico que se desvenda à passagem de cada capítulo.Ce travail étudie les romans L’oeil du Loup et Cabot-Caboche, de Daniel Pennac. Dans l’encadrement actuel de la Littérature Française, Daniel Pennac est l’un des grands romanciers, avec une vaste production romanesque entre autres, car il privilégie aussi d’autres genres comme l’essai, le théâtre, le conte et même la Bande Dessinée. Toutefois, dans toute la production pennaquienne se remarquent le roman policier et aussi le roman pour les enfants et les jeunes.
C’est cette dernière tendance, justement celle par laquelle l’auteur a commencé sa production, que notre travail a choisi pour son analyse, dont le principal objectif est l’étude de la fable.
La question qui se pose d’abord et à laquelle le travail veut répondre est la suivante: peut-on considérer L’Oeil du Loup et Cabot-Caboche deux romans-fable ? Ainsi, on trace la panoramique diachronique du genre fable, dès ces débuts jusqu’à l’actualité, en analysant un des textes du maître du genre du XVIIe siècle, Jean de La Fontaine, en faisant aussi le repérage des principales caractéristiques de la fable.
La réécriture du genre fable, dans ces romans, par un auteur contemporain nous mène à la réflexion sur l’importance du genre dans l’actualité. Les caractéristiques de la fable classique ont été adaptées aux nouvelles expériences de l’homme actuel. Si autrefois, et à travers la fable, on cherchait à donner la parole aux animaux, justement pour interpeller les hommes sur leurs attitudes condamnables, actuellement, par la parodie et la satire, les animaux maintiennent leur condition d’animaux, malgré leur humanisation, tandis que les hommes sont animalisés, en inversant les rôles. Pennac montre comme les animaux, dans leurs relations avec les humains, décrivent, par les mots ou par la pensée, les attitudes des hommes, devenant les porte-parole de l’auteur et de sa moralité, dans la découverte et la critique du «monde à l’envers ». De cette façon, les animaux entraînent des relations et font des pactes d’amitié avec certains humains – les enfants – les représentants des innocents, eux aussi des victimes des comportements des adultes.
Daniel Pennac montre, dans ces deux romans, mais aussi dans les autres qu’il a écrits, un univers fabuleux, où les animaux interviennent de façon notable, un univers magique et fantastique qu’on découvre au passage de chaque chapitre

Mining e-mail content for author identification forensics
No full textWe describe an investigation into e-mail content mining for author identification, or authorship attribution, for the purpose of forensic investigation. We focus our discussion on the ability to discriminate between authors for the case of both aggregated e-mail topics as well as across different email topics. An extended set of e-mail document features including structural characteristics and linguistic patterns were derived and, together with a Support Vector Machine learning algorithm, were used for mining the e-mail content. Experiments using a number of e-mail documents generated by different authors on a set of topics gave promising results for both aggregated and multi-topic author categorisation
