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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe 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
Der Einfluss der Ausgangssprache auf die Wahl der Notationssprache beim Konsekutivdolmetschen
No full textIm Rahmen der vorliegenden Masterarbeit wird die Konsekutivdolmetschnotation in Bezug auf die Wahl der Notationssprache erforscht. Ziel der Arbeit ist es zu untersuchen, welche Faktoren diese Wahl beeinflussen können. Diese Arbeit besteht aus einem theoretischen und einem empirischen Teil.
Der theoretische Teil widmet sich zunächst der Vorstellung des Konsekutivdolmetschens und der Dolmetschnotation. Daraufhin wird ein Überblick über die unterschiedlichen Positionen der FachautorInnen zur Notizentechnik geboten. Hierbei wird auf die Verwendung von Symbolen und natürlichen Sprachen beim Notieren eingegangen, wobei auf die Wahl zwischen Ausgangs- oder Zielsprache bzw. A- oder B-Sprache ein besonderes Augenmerk gelegt wird. Des Weiteren werden die Hauptanforderungen an DolmetscherInnen besprochen sowie die internen und externen Faktoren veranschaulicht, die eine wichtige Rolle bei der Wahl der Notationssprache spielen können und entweder mit der Ausgangssprache oder dem Ausgangstext in Zusammenhang stehen. Diesbezüglich wird eine Erläuterung der Begriffe „Ausgangssprache“ und „Ausgangstext“ dargelegt. Schließlich werden einige empirische Studien dargestellt, die sich mit der Problematik der Notationssprache beschäftigen. Unter diesen liegt das Augenmerk auf der Studie von Dam, die die Grundlage für das im Rahmen dieser Masterarbeit durchgeführte Experiment darstellt.
Ausgehend von Dams Experiment (2004) wird der Versuch unternommen, die Konsekutivdolmetschnotation von Dolmetschstudierenden im Sprachenpaar Deutsch-Italienisch zu untersuchen. Insbesondere zielt dieses Experiment darauf ab, zu verstehen, aufgrund welcher Faktoren die eine oder die andere Sprache als Notationssprache gewählt wird und mit welchen Schwierigkeiten die Studierenden beim Notieren konfrontiert sind. Es wird gezeigt, dass Ausgangssprache und Muttersprache die Wahl der Notationssprache stark beeinflussen können, wobei ein höherer Einfluss der Ausgangssprache gegenüber der Muttersprache zu erkennen ist.
Um diese Ergebnisse zu erzielen, werden die Notizen der ProbandInnen auf verschiedene Parameter hin geprüft. Mithilfe eines Fragebogens wird der von den ProbandInnen wahrgenommenen Schwierigkeitsgrad der Ausgangstexte anhand unterschiedlicher interner und externer Faktoren untersucht, um den Einfluss des Ausgangstextes auf die Wahl der Notationssprache festzustellen. Die Analyse der am meisten verwendeten Notationssprache gliedert sich in zwei Teile: zum einen die Analyse der Sprachkombination der ProbandInnen und zum anderen die Analyse der Dolmetschrichtung jeder Aufgabe. Diese Untersuchungen verdeutlichen, dass die Muttersprache einen wesentlichen Einflussfaktor bei der Wahl der Notationssprache darstellt, jedoch werden Dolmetschstudierende, vor allem beim Auftreten von Schwierigkeiten, eher von der Ausgangssprache beeinflusst.The present Master’s thesis offers a comprehensive analysis of note-taking for consecutive interpreting. Its objective is to investigate on a theoretical and empirical basis the factors affecting the choice of language in interpreters’ notes.
In the theoretical part of this thesis, consecutive interpreting and note-taking are presented and an overview of the different approaches of translation theorists on note-taking is given. On the basis of this, the interpreters’ choice of form for their notes (Symbols vs. natural languages) is examined, with specific focus on the interpreters’ choice of language, whether the source language or the target language as well as the A-language or the B-language. Furthermore, the main qualifications for an interpreter are discussed as well as the internal and external factors which affect the choice of language for note-taking and are related to the source language or to the source text. Finally, some empirical studies on the issue of language are presented. The main focus is on a study by Dam (2004), which serves as basis for the experiment presented in the empirical part of this thesis.
Based on the case study of Dam (2004), the experiment conducted by the author of the present thesis is illustrated in the empirical part. The purpose of this experiment is to analyze consecutive notes of students in the German-Italian language pair and in particular to investigate which factors influence the choice of language in note taking and what are the difficulties of students.
The analysis of interpreting notes used by students shows that both the source language and the A-language strongly affect the choice of language. However, a greater influence of the source language is observed.
For the purpose of this investigation the interpreting notes of the students are collected and examined according to different parameters.
In order to provide information on the degree of difficulty of the source text perceived by students as well as on its influence on the choice of language, an analysis of participants’ notes is carried out by means of a questionnaire.
The investigation on the choice of language is divided into two parts. The first one consists of the analysis of the participants’ language combination, the second one consists of the analysis of interpreting direction for both source texts.
It is possible to state that an influence of the mother tongue on the choice of language for note-taking can be observed. However, in particular when difficulties arise, the source language is the students’ favourite language

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
