Replication data for: Measuring Lexical Distance between Parallel Corpora: The Case of AI-Generated News Translation
No full textData and code (in R) corresponding to the article "Measuring Lexical Distance between Parallel Corpora: The Case of AI-Generated News Translation"
The purpose of this project was to develop tools to measure statistical distance between corpora of translated news articles in English in French. Included here are the meta-data for the articles, gathered manually from SwissInfo.ch. The first article was published on 21 August 2023; the last was published on 18 February 2025.
Also included here are the vectorized forms of these articles, as well as code (in R) to produce the histograms showing distances between each story and its counterpart in the two corpora.</p
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
Framing Differences Between Local and National Media in the Trayvon Martin Case
No full textThe purpose of this study was to explore the difference in media representations in local
and national news by examining the 2012 Trayvon Martin case between the parameters of
February 26, 2012- April 12, 2012. In this case, an African American adolescent was shot and
killed in Sanford, Florida, by a neighborhood watch coordinator by the name of George
Zimmerman. Through a mix method approach, the research used content and discourse analysis
as tools to analyze and gather data from the New York Times and Orlando Sentinel in the
coverage of the case. Content analysis was used to give an overview of the data set, while
discourse analysis helped describe the interpreted meanings that were constructed within the
articles’ text to shed light on media framing. To further examine the research question, the study
also analyzed if there was a difference in the Orlando Sentinel’s coverage before and after
Trayvon Martin case became national news. The findings discovered that the New York Times
emphasizes race more than the Orlando Sentinel. Further analysis showed that once the New
York Times picked up the coverage on the Trayvon Martin case on March 16, 2012, there was a
difference in the Orlando Sentinel’s headlines and language used within their article.
Additionally, the findings revealed that the news used its ‘power’ to subtly reinforce and
maintain longstanding racialized stereotypes of Blacks with the use of media framing. The Trayvon Martin case gave me the opportunity to examine the complexity and dynamics of the creation of racialized stereotypes and how the ‘powerful’ role news plays in reinforcing, perpetuating, and creating discourses
Assessing the Editorial Discourse Around the Equal Opportunity Program in New Brunswick
No full textThis study contextualizes, and analyzes, the editorial response to a set of reforms that Louis J. Robichaud, as Premier of New Brunswick, enacted during his tenure between 1960 and 1970. Through a discourse analysis of the editorial pages of L’Évangéline and the Daily Gleaner, two daily newspapers encompassing the province’s major linguistic groups, this case study demonstrates how the editors of these outlets framed the Equal Opportunity Program. It is rooted in an inductive approach informed by Charles Taylor (1993)’s notions of nationalism, federalism and minority language politics in Canada. While L’Évangéline’s editor supported the Program, his counterpart at the Gleaner took an opposing view. The nationalism expressed by L’Évangéline’s editor through his support for the Program reflects a focus on collective rights; he supports Robichaud and his Program not simply because of the latter’s objectives, but because of the former’s Acadian roots. On the other hand, the Gleaner’s editor strongly opposes collective rights. He hints at the premier’s Acadian heritage to stir up opposition to the Program and expresses a form of nationalism which is rooted in his position as a member of the linguistic majority. He frames the Program – and Robichaud’s actions – as dangerous departures from the status quo
