Book Review: Chinese urban design: the typomorphological approach by Fei Chen and Kevin Thwaites
No full textThe traditional Chinese city is undergoing an identity crisis. With rapid developments taking place, there is growing conflict between this new building and the existing urban heritage. In Chinese Urban Design Fei Chen and Kevin Thwaites argue that urban design needs to play a far more important role in China’s urban development if cities are to become places that are relevant to the lives of local residents, be sustainable and adaptable to meet future needs. This book should prove to be essential reading for urban design scholars and city policy-makers, writes Amy Tang

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
Using corpora to aid in learning collocations
Full text linkThe potential of corpora, language databases comprised of authentic language materials from a variety of sources, has gradually trickled down to ESL and EFL classrooms (McCarthy, O'Keeffe, & Walsh, 2010) and has been associated with data-driven learning (DDL) where learners observe language patterns and improve language accuracy. This study examined whether the familiarity with corpora would improve learners' preference to use corpora and the ability to solve V-N collocation problems, learners' knowledge of V-N collocations and learners' perception of the usefulness of corpus tools for solving collocation problems. Three groups of participants were recruited for three treatments: a one-time workshop combined with long-term in-class practices (TG), a one-time workshop only (CG), and no treatments (BG), and a pre- and post-test comparison was made to measure collocation knowledge gain of the three groups. Besides the post-test, the post-test with reference tools were given immediately after the post-test where the use of reference tools was allowed. The reference tools used on the post-test with reference tools and the performance of those who used corpora and those who did not was analyzed between the post- and post-test with reference tools. The results showed that those receiving treatments (TG and CG) that also chose corpora as reference tools were more successful than those who did not. Also, although collocation knowledge gain was not reflected in the score improvement from the pre- and post-test in all three groups, a correlation between the frequency of out-of-class use of corpora and pre- and post-test score improvement was found in TG, but not in CG nor BG. More positive perception of corpora as reference tools was found in TG than CG, but both TG and CG rated favorably for corpora's utility to solve lexical collocation problems. This study contributes to the current literature by applying DDL to lexical collocations, specifically V-N collocations and by examining the factors influencing learners' preference of reference tools, the ability to solve V-N collocation problems, potential knowledge gain of collocations and the perception of learners.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'Closed Access', the embargo will last until 2018-05-01The student, Fei Chen Wen, accepted the attached license on 2016-04-24 at 10:33.The student, Fei Chen Wen, submitted this Thesis for approval on 2016-04-25 at 13:38.This Thesis was approved for publication on 2016-04-26 at 09:35.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #9452 on 2016-07-07 at 14:17:56Made available in DSpace on 2016-07-07T21:18:01Z (GMT).

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
