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
Análisis de errores en el uso de los determinantes en producciones escritas de hablantes italófonos de E/LE
Full text linkTreballs Finals del Màster de Formació de Professor d'Espanyol com a Llengua Estrangera, Facultat d'Educació, Universitat de Barcelona. Curs: 2019-2020. Tutor: Sergi Torner Castells.[spa] El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo llevar a cabo un análisis de errores sobre el uso de los determinantes en español por parte de aprendices italófonos de español como lengua extranjera. Este análisis permite delimitar los fenómenos cuyo aprendizaje supone mayor dificultad para estos aprendices, lo cual puede contribuir a mejorar el proceso de enseñanza y aprendizaje del contenido gramatical objeto de estudio. Para la realización de nuestro objetivo, llevamos a cabo un análisis de errores partiendo de un corpus de producciones escritas por estudiantes universitarios con distinto nivel de competencia del español (desde A1 a B2); se seleccionan al azar un total de 100 textos, en los que se analizan todos los errores detectados en el uso de los determinantes. De este modo, este trabajo desea profundizar en algunas cuestiones ya planteadas en la investigación llevada a cabo sobre el tema, aproximándose a las dificultades en el aprendizaje/adquisición del artículo por parte de hablantes del italiano. Los principales resultados del estudio muestran que en la casi totalidad de los casos es el artículo el determinante que presenta dificultades de uso. Estas surgen de la identificación de los contextos que no exigen el artículo y de aquellos que en cambio lo requieren; por tanto, se incurre en la producción de errores lingüísticos de adición y omisión, respectivamente. Además, otras áreas de conflicto se hallan en entornos que resultan ser zonas de vacilación dentro del sistema lingüístico mismo del español. Por último, el empleo del artículo determinado es predominante en comparación con el del indeterminado y los errores de adición se producen con más frecuencia con respecto a los de omisión.[eng] The aim of this work is to provide an error analysis in the use of determiners in the Spanish language made by Italian-speaking students of Spanish as a foreign language. This analysis will allow the reader to identify the linguistic phenomena which are more difficult to learn by Italian speakers with the purpose of contributing to improving the teaching and learning processes of the grammatical element object of this work. To achieve the aim of their study, the author identified, by random sampling, a body of 100 written texts produced by university students of Spanish with different competency levels of the foreign language (from A1 to B2) and performed on this corpus an error analysis focused on the use of determiners. By doing this, this work will delve into issues already considered by the existing literature on the topic and approach the learning/acquisition difficulties of the article met by Italian speakers. The main results of this study identify the article as the determinative with the most difficulties in its use in almost all the cases analysed. These difficulties arise from the identification of the contexts which do not require the use of the article from those which require it resulting in the production of linguistic errors of addition and omission respectively. Moreover, other areas of conflict are found in contexts of hesitation/uncertainty within the linguistic system of the Spanish language itself. Lastly, the use of the determinative article prevails over the indefinite and the errors of addition are more frequent than those of omission

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
