Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe 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
Author, publisher and bookseller : a tripartite synergy in Nigerian book industry
No full textThis work is about the roles of Author, Publisher and Bookseller in Book development in
Nigeria. The paper started by delving into the history of Book Publishing in Nigeria after
which it proceeded by defining who an author, a publisher, and a bookseller is and
expatiated on the indispensable roles of these key actors in Nigerian Book Industry and in
the emerging Information Society. Furthermore, the various constraints to book
development were identified while the paper advised on how the Book Industry can be
further promoted in Nigeria. However, the paper concluded and made recommendations
on how the Book sector can help in enhancing scholarship in the country

Mining e-mail content for author identification forensics
No full textWe describe an investigation into e-mail content mining for author identification, or authorship attribution, for the purpose of forensic investigation. We focus our discussion on the ability to discriminate between authors for the case of both aggregated e-mail topics as well as across different email topics. An extended set of e-mail document features including structural characteristics and linguistic patterns were derived and, together with a Support Vector Machine learning algorithm, were used for mining the e-mail content. Experiments using a number of e-mail documents generated by different authors on a set of topics gave promising results for both aggregated and multi-topic author categorisation
Variations on the Author
No full text“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
Vem behöver lokala nyheter? En kvalitativ studie om unga vuxnas nyhetsvärderingar och medieval i dagens globaliserade samhälle.

Författare Emelie Dimberg och Julia Ingemarsson
Uppdragsgivare Dagspresskollegiet vid DEMICOM och SOM-institutet Handledare Mathias Färdigh Kurs Examensarbete i medie- och kommunikationsvetenskap vid institutionen för journalistik, medier och kommunikation (JMG) vid Göteborgs universitet
Termin Vårterminen 2014

Syfte Syftet är att undersöka unga vuxnas relation till lokala nyheter i jämförelse med internationella, samt hur de tar del av dessa nyheter. Metod Kvalitativ analys i form av strukturerade fokusgruppintervjuer Material Intervjuer med sammanlagt elva respondenter vid tre fokusgruppintervjuer
Huvudresultat Det finns hos målgruppen skillnad i uppfattning av begreppet lokalt, vilken påverkas av tiden man befunnit sig på orten och tidigare erfarenheter. Den gemensamma åsikten är dock att en lokal nyhet ska angå individen direkt eller indirekt. Respondenterna i undersökningen anser att lokala nyheter är viktiga, men intresset att ta del av dessa är litet och behoven små. Behovet att ta del av internationella nyheter anses däremot starkare hos målgruppen och även intresset och vikten av dessa bedöms vara större på grund av globaliseringen. Främst handlar det om att målgruppen vill vara uppdaterad och ha en förståelse för resten av världen, eftersom den uppfattas påverka dem i stor grad. När det gäller medieval är det främst internetbaserade nyheter och sociala medieplattformar via mobilen som används. Via dessa kanaler tar respondenterna del av både globala och lokala nyheter. De lokala nyheterna tas dock främst del av muntligt i sociala sammanhang, till skillnad från de internationella nyheterna där ovannämnda kanaler till störst del används. Dagspressläsandet är generellt lågt hos målgruppen och dagstidningar i pappersupplaga anses inte ha en ljus framtid
