Sámi, Colonization and Classification : A Deconstruction of Sámi Representation in Bibliographic Classification Systems
No full textDen samiska representationen på svenska bibliotek har utvecklats de senaste åren. Samtidigt saknas kritiska blickar från forskningens håll gällande relationen mellan bibliotek och samer. Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka och jämföra den samiska representationen inom tre klassifikationssystem: Sveriges allmänna biblioteksförenings- (SAB), Dewey decimals- (DDK) och Løøvs klassifikationssystem. Detta för att kunna förstå hur representationen av de samiska ämnena ser ut på både svenska folkbibliotek och i den samiska bibliografin. Undersökningen av de tre klassifikationssystemen har genomförts via en kvalitativ dokumentstudie med ett kodningsschema som analysmetod, vilket slutligen mynnar ut i en dekonstruktion av systemens hantering av samiska ämnen. Resultatet tematiserades utifrån kodningsschemat: samer och andra folkgrupper; traditionell samisk kultur och näringar; samer och religion; samiska språk och slutligen samer i hierarkierna. Analysen av resultatet utgår från Jacques Derridas dekonstruktionsteori för att kunna identifiera klassifikationssystemens centrum, och sedan centrera de ämnen som är perifera och marginaliserade i nuläget i enlighet med klassifikationssystemens struktur. Uppsatsens slutsatser visar att varje system centrerar olika perspektiv, där enbart Løøvs centrerar det samiska. Detta leder till en bild där de två universella klassifikationssystemen SAB och DDK har större utvecklingspotential för den samiska representationen på grund av en viss oförståelse för samiska omständigheter. Även Løøvs system kan dock utgå från ett samiskt perspektiv i större utsträckning. De tre klassifikationssystemen har separata utgångspunkter, och därför tre olika sätt att i högre grad inkludera samiska perspektiv och samiska ämnen. The Sámi representation in Swedish libraries has evolved the last few years. Simultaneously there is a lack of critical view from a scientific perspective regarding the relationship between libraries and Sámi people. The purpose of this thesis is to examine and compare the Sámi representation in three classification systems: the Swedish library classification system (SAB), the Dewey decimal system (DDC) and Løøv’s classification system. This is to further understand and compare what the representation of Sámi subjects looks like both in Swedish public libraries and in the Sámi bibliography. The examination of the three classification systems has been completed through a qualitative document study with a coding scheme as the basis for the analysis, which at last results in a deconstruction of the systems’ management of Sámi subjects. The results were thematically organized according to the coding scheme: Sámi and other ethnic groups; traditional Sámi culture and industries; Sámi and religion; Sámi languages and Sámi in the hierarchies. Analyzing this result was done through Jacques Derrida’s deconstructive theory to identify the centers of the classification systems and then center the current peripheral subjects according to the classification systems’ original structure. The conclusions of the thesis show that each system centers different perspectives, where only Løøv’s centers the Sámi one. This leads to a picture where the two universal classification systems SAB and DDC have a larger potential of evolution for the Sámi representation because of the lack of understanding of Sámi circumstances. Even Løøvs system can assume a Sámi perspective in a greater scope. The three classification systems have separate starting points, and therefore three different approaches to including Sámi perspectives and subjects to a higher degree.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Get PDFWe 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
