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
Stuck in the middle: A morphosyntactic analysis of the deponent verbs from Latin to Romance
No full textIn questa tesi propongo un'analisi sia sincronica che diacronica dei verbi latini che presentano obbligatoriamente la morfologia Media (deponenti). Dimostro come questo obbligo sia relazionato a diverse strutture sintattiche soggiacenti e, quindi, morfosintatticamente giustificato. Dimostro, inoltre, come sia la presenza stessa della morfologia Media all'interno del sistema linguistico latino a permettere la creazione delle diverse classi lessicali dei deponenti. La perdita di tale morfologia porta a una riorganizzazione delle classi lessicali verbali in latino tardo e medievale. Questa riorganizzazione, data l'analisi proposta, risulta prevedibile. Il fatto che un tratto morfosintattico come la morfologia Media condizioni la classificazione del lessico è un dato linguisticamente rilevante: supporta l'idea che sia la componente morfosintattica del linguaggio a precedere la suddivisione in classi lessicali e che non sia il lessico a determinare la struttura sintattica quanto, invece, la struttura sintattica a determinare il lessico
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
On ‘nd clitic in the Friulian variety of Romans d’Isonzo, some notes
No full textMany varieties of Northern Italy present a locative clitic “supporting” the verb ‘to have’, either in its lexical or auxiliary form (e.g., Dello (BS) g ò la makina. ‘I have a car.’; g ò maiat la fröta. ‘I ate fruit’). This clitic has been variously analyzed as expressing the location where the possession relation ensues – for the lexical verb – or as expressing the temporal location of the event – for the auxiliary – (Benincà 2007, Paoli 2020). In this contribution I present new data from the Friulian variety of Romans d’Isonzo (GO), which, in the same environments, presents not the locative but the partitive clitic: A ‘nd ai fat la spesa. ‘I went grocery shopping’. This phenomenon is plausibly due to language contact with the neighboring Veneto varieties spoken in Friuli around Monfalcone and is interestingly shaped by the grammar of both languages: the Friulian variety of Romans d’Isonzo (as Friulian varieties in general) does not possess a dedicated locative clitic and, consequently, does not simply borrow the Veneto form of the locative clitic (ghe) but employs its own “endogenous” partitive clitic. Besides the pattern of crosslinguistic influence, it will be shown how this new datum (i) reveals that the Veneto pattern with ghe of the neighboring varieties is better analyzed as a sequence of [locative clitic + verb] and not as a single unique form of the verb ‘to have’, (ii) supports the proposal already in Penello (2004) that the locative and the partitive clitic share a common set of features. More in general, this shows how the analysis of microvariation data and the close interaction between different varieties is an invaluable source for theoretical linguistics, continuously shaping and refining the plausible set of analyses
