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
PRONOUNS OF OZ AND BILE IN SOUTH AZERBAIJANI
Get PDFThe expression of reflexivity in the Turkic language is usually reported via reflexive pronouns or suffixes added to verbs such as -(X)n similar to -(X)l. In the historical periods of the Turkic language, words of oz and kentu (>kendu>kendi) is mainly used as reflexive pronouns. These words co-existed together in the Old Oghuz Turkic with similar functions. Later, in the dialects developed from the Old Oghuz Turkic, there was a separation on the boundaries of the self-pronouns. The pronoun of oz was used in Azerbaijani field; and the pronoun of kendi (self) was used in Turkey (Ottoman) field. In the South Azerbaijani, the word of oz is used as a function of reflexive pronoun. In addition to this, oz has reinforcement, personal pronoun and adjective functions. In some dialects of South Azerbaijani, words of bile similar to bele similar to bele are also used in the feature of pronoun. Bile in the category of pronoun fulfills only the function of a personal pronoun. Bile can only be used as a personal pronoun function with possessive suffixes and some case suffixes or with inflectional suffixes. Bile does not have the functions of reflexivity, reinforcement and adjective
MORPHEMS DEVELOPING AT AORIST IN KASHKAY
Get PDFIn the aorist of Kashkay, besides the original morphems, there are morphems developed according to the consonants at the end of the verbs. The common feature of these morphemes is that they are seen in the 1st and 2nd persons and have emerged with consonant analogies. Mentioned morphemes are - lAm, -lAn, -leg, -lAnIz similar to -lAyIz; -rAm, -rAn, -reg, -rAnIz similar to -rAyIz and -dAm, -dAn, -dAK, -dAnIz similar to -dAyIz respectively, according to 1st and 2nd persons. Morphemes with /l/ in Kashkay, occur after verbs with /l/ consonants at the end. Morphems with /r/ are used after verbs ending with /r/ consonant: gellem (< *gelrem < gelerem) 'I come', vurram (< vuraram) 'I hit' etc. Morphems with /d/ which stand out as a characteristic feature of Kashkay are mostly ending with tooth, tooth-palate, tooth-lip consonants such as /d/, /l/, /n/, /s/, /t/, /v/ It is used after verbs. After verbs ending with such consonants (dental consonants), when the aorist suffix -Ar comes, the vocal of the aorist suffix decreases. Then there is a progressive analogy between the tooth consonants at the end of the verb and the consonant /r/ of the aorist suffix. As a result of this analogy, morphemes with /d/ are formed: dusdem (< *dusrem < duserem) 'I fall' etc. In Kashkay, it seems that the past tense used with -dXm, -dXn, -dXK, -dXnXz similar to -dXyXz morphems in 1st and 2nd persons was effective in the stereotyping of these morphems with /d/ consonants
A Text of the Dargaz Dialect from Khorasan Turkic: Ellahekber'e Selam
Get PDFKhorasan Turkic is a member of the Turkic language Oghuz group. Khorasan Turkic is represented by a group of dialects spoken in the Northern Khorasan and Razavi Khorasan states of Iran. A poem called Ellahekber'e Selam Selam to Allahuekber, written by a Khorasan Turk Muhammed Arab Hedri in 2016, has been the subject of this study. This poem, composed of 109 verses, is based on the poem of Sehriyar's Heyder Baba'ya Selam. The poet created the poem by talking to mountain of Ellahekber. In the poetry, the life of Khorasan Turkishness from Dargaz is narrated in the atmosphere of nostalgia. The language of Ellahekber poem belongs to Dargaz dialect of Khorasan Turkic. Within the scope of the study, the poem was written in the transcription alphabet with reference to the voice recording of the poet. The poem was also transferred to Turkish. The phonetic and morphology features of the Dargaz dialect were revealed with the material presented by the text. Bol-and ol-verbs were used together in the text as in the studies with olga-bolga (mixed language) in Dargaz dialect from Old Oghuz Turkish
