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
Effect of number of syllables in visual word recognition: New insights from the lexical decision task
No full textA thorough knowledge regarding monosyllabic word reading has been accumulated over decades, which contrasts with our understanding of polysyllabic word processing. One reason why modelling of polysyllabic word reading is lagging behind might be related to the issue of orthographic segmentation, parsing requiring the integration of two types of information, the number of units to be extracted and boundaries between these units. In the present study, we focussed on the effect of number of syllables, and we compared lexical decision latencies in French words and pseudowords as a function of syllabic length (two vs. three graphosyllables). An effect was found in pseudowords, low-frequency words and high-frequency words, items with three syllables being processed more slowly than items with two syllables. We discuss what processes of current models of visual word recognition may underlie this effect, and based on previous studies and analyses on word mega corpus, we propose a new interpretation of the effect in terms of number of orthographic vowel-centred units.SCOPUS: ar.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe
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
Création et qualité des représentations orthographiques chez les enfants présentant une déficience auditive
No full textLa maîtrise de l’écrit et de l'orthographe, est essentielle dans un monde où la communication numérique s’accroit. En français, l’acquisition de l'orthographe est difficile, notamment à cause des multiples correspondances entre phonèmes et graphèmes (par exemple, le phonème /s/ peut s'écrire avec les graphèmes :‘s’, ‘c’, ‘ss’, etc.). Cette acquisition est d’autant plus difficile pour les enfants sourds et malentendants, dont l'accès à la langue orale est plus limité, ce qui impacte l'apprentissage de l'écrit qui souvent tout au long de leur scolarité.Les stratégies orthographiques en français reposent principalement sur des connaissances phonologiques (correspondances entre phonèmes et graphèmes), orthographiques (règles contextuelles du n devenant m devant un p, régularités orthographique incidemment apprises par l’exposition à l’écrit ou encore des éléments spécifiques non retrouvables par la phonologie :les graphèmes inconsitants du mot thym), morphologiques (e.g. grand/grande), étymologiques et l'origine des mots empruntés à d'autres langues (e.g. spaghetti). L’objectif de cette thèse est d’étudier ces processus d’acquisition chez les enfants présentant une déficience auditive (DA) et ayant le français oral comme langue maternelle, en comparant leur capacité à créer de nouvelles représentations orthographiques à celle des enfants avec une audition typique (AT).Nos résultats montrent que les enfants avec DA créent de nouvelles représentations orthographiques via la lecture, à l’instar des enfants avec AT. Ils sembleraient s'appuyer davantage sur des indices visuo-orthographiques pour apprendre de nouveaux mots écrits et utilisent plus de stratégies phonologiques pour orthographier des mots connus, même inconsistants comme pyramide, probablement à cause de représentations orthographiques moins stables. Dans des tâches de reconnaissance des mots cibles parmi des distracteurs, les enfants avec DA sont aussi performant que les enfants avec AT, voire même meilleurs quand l'exposition préalable au mot est contrôlée. Cette thèse propose une contribution théorique et clinique, notamment par la création d’un outil d’évaluation orthographique à partir d’images, pour les enfants avec DA et AT en fin d’école primaire, et l’utilisation de diverses méthodes (production écrite, reconnaissance, copie différée) pour évaluer la qualité des représentations orthographiques.Doctorat en Sciences psychologiques et de l'éducationinfo:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublishe
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

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
