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
La cuisine du terroir dans la littérature québécoise traduite en Italie: les limites des corpus parallèles
No full textDans cette contribution nous nous proposons de retracer les traditions du terroir québécois telles qu’elles sont décrites dans un corpus d’œuvres littéraires du XXe siècle, traduites en italien. Comment le Québec manifeste son existence en Italie. La culture québécoise est-elle convenablement représentée dans les textes d’arrivée ? L’image de la cuisine québécoise qui y est véhiculée est-elle folklorique ou moderne ? Derrière ces questionnements, se cachent des questions à la fois d’ordre sociologique et ethnologique, mais surtout traductologique, respectivement sur la représentation de la culture et de l’identité québécoises en littérature, et sur les difficultés posées par la traduction des entités connotées culturellement (realia) tels que les plats du terroir. Partant de l’acquis que “la traduction représente un facteur nullement négligeable dans la question de la mondialisation de la culture et de la diversité culturelle, en particulier pour la francophonie”, l’enjeu de cette contribution est de savoir si les traducteurs italiens ont réussi à restituer, plus ou moins fidèlement, la spécificité culturelle des traditions culinaires du Québec. En parcourant des citations littéraires, accompagnées de leurs traductions, nous allons
reconstruire l’histoire et l’évolution de la cuisine québécoise en tant que miroir et produit de l’histoire de la société québécoise. Nous examinerons de près les stratégies traductives adoptées consciemment ou inconsciemment par les traducteurs pour traduire le nom de certains mets traditionnels. Pour ce faire, nous présenterons une approche linguistique des phénomènes de traduction relevés, en nous appuyant sur les méthodes offertes par la linguistique de corpus et en considérant, en particulier, le rôle joué par les corpus parallèles pour le travail des traducteurs professionnels et pour la recherche en traductologie
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
“Optimized design of a steel-glass parabolic vault using evolutionary multi-objective algorithms.”
No full textThe paper explores the possibilities offered by evolutionary multi-objective algorithms in structural design. The developed procedure includes the parameterization of a 3D structure, the automatic generation of a finite element (FE) model, and the optimum design. The search of the optimum solution is dealt with using two commercial software packages: Straus7, for FE analysis, and modeFrontier, for optimal search, interlinked by a program purposely developed (SCU, system control unit). The optimum design of a
structure needs a different approach with respect to the traditional design. The paper presents a possible approach and describes more in detail the data pre and post processing including the choice of the solutions on the Pareto’s front. A case study, a steel-glass vault roof built in Badenweiler (Germany), is used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach. A significant economical saving can be achieved when the optimum design solution is used. The proposed algorithm can then be employed as a useful tool to help the
designer in the complex design process
