Rollen und Einflussmöglichkeiten von Schreibzentren an deutschen Hochschulen. Ergebnisse einer deutschlandweiten Umfrage zu Rahmenbedingungen und Aktivitäten von Schreibzentren
Full text linkAlthough writing centers based on the US model are now widespread at German universities, they are still in the process of being established and institutionalized. This article (Roles and Possibilities of Influence of Writing Centers at German Universities. First Results of a Germany-wide Survey) explores the question of what role writing centers currently play at German universities after the expiry of the Quality Pact for Teaching, which facilitated their rise, and how they are institutionally positioned as actors. The article presents the initial results of a survey conducted in spring 2023 among writing centers at German universities, in which 77 of 146 existing centers participated. Data is presented on the institutional placement of the centers, the range of services offered, target groups, advice provided to university management, research activities, participation in internal decisions, and staffing. The aim of this article is to provide an empirically based stocktaking of the status of writing centers in Germany
Kommentierend ins Fach sozialisieren: Möglichkeiten und Wirkungen von Textfeedback in geisteswissenschaftlichen Seminaren
Full text linkIn dieser Studie zu schreibintensiven Seminaren in der universitären Lehre stehen Feedback- und Überarbeitungsvorgänge im Fokus. Wir analysieren Feedbackprozesse anhand eines Textkorpus, das aus der Unterstützung von schreibintensiven Seminaren an der Universität Hamburg hervorging. Die Texte sind abgelegt auf der digitalen Feedback- und Überarbeitungsplattform des Schreibzentrums (Lehr-Lern-Archiv LeLeA), die speziell für solche schreibintensiven Kurse entwickelt wurde: https://lehrlernarchiv-schreiben.blogs.uni-hamburg.de/. In unserer Fallstudie untersuchten wir Texte eines von uns unterstützten Seminars, in dem die Studierenden bereits während des Semesters in drei Schreibaufgaben Methoden zur Literaturanalyse üben konnten. Die Studierenden luden ihre Texte im LeLeA hoch, erhielten Feedback von ihrer Dozentin und überarbeiteten ihre Texte dann auf dieser Basis. Um zu verstehen, wie und zu welchen Aspekten die Dozentin Feedback gibt und wie dies zu einer Fachsozialisation führen kann, haben wir drei Texte von zwei Studierenden sowie die 149 Kommentare der Dozentin analysiert. Zunächst fragten wir, wie solche Texte und Kommentare sinnvoll beschrieben werden können, und entwickelten dazu ein Analyseinstrumentarium. Bei diesem Vorgehen orientierten wir uns methodisch am Verfahren der Grounded Theory. Zunächst kategorisierten wir die Sprechhandlungen des Dozierendenfeedbacks, danach beschrieben wir den Inhalt der Kommentare. In einem letzten Schritt untersuchten wir, wie die Studierenden ihre Texte auf die Feedbackkommentare der Dozentin hin überarbeiteten. Die Ergebnisse zeigen eine enge Verbindung zwischen Sprechhandlungen und Inhalt und weisen darauf hin, dass die Studierenden im Zuge des Feedback- und Überarbeitungsprozesses gleichzeitig einen Prozess der Fachsozialisation durchlaufen.This study is located in the field of writing intensive courses in higher education. It focuses on the complexities of feedback and revision procedures and analyses feedback processes using a text corpus that emerged from writing intensive courses. Source of the corpus was a digital writing archive developed specially to support those courses: https://lehrlernarchiv-schreiben.blogs.uni-hamburg.de/. In our case study we analysed texts from a course in which students fulfilled three writing assignments during the semester to train their skills in literary analysis. The students uploaded their assignments to the online writing archive, where their professor gave written feedback. In the next step the students revised their works based on the teacher's feedback and uploaded it again. To understand how and about what aspects the professor gives feedback and how this leads to disciplinary socialisation we examined three texts written by two students and the 149 comments made by their professor. Initially we asked how such texts and comments can be usefully described and analysed and with this aim developed and tested a set of tools. Our methodological approach was guided by the systematic of Grounded Theory. First we explored and categorized the speech actions used by the professor, then we described the content of the comments. Finally we observed how the students revised their texts in response to the professor's comments. The results show a close relation between speech actions and content and indicate that students are taking steps toward disciplinary socialisation during the writing, feedback and revision process
Writing Spaces: Wissenschaftliches Schreiben zwischen und in den Disziplinen
Full text linkDer Sammelband fasst die Beiträge der Tagung 'Writing Spaces' in Hamburg zusammen. Schreiben an Universitäten findet in unterschiedlichen Räumen und Verortungen statt. Raum als Konzept und Methode lässt sich auf die Schreibwissenschaft und Schreibdidaktik anwenden. Unterschiedliche Schreibräume werden in den Beiträgen untersucht und zueinander in Beziehung gesetzt: disziplinär und transdisziplinär, physisch und virtuell sowie institutionalisiert und frei organisiert. Die Autorinnen und Autoren nutzen das Raumkonzept, um gelingende Schreibzentrumsarbeit und didaktische Konzepte vorzustellen und zu diskutieren. Daraus ergeben sich neue Perspektiven und Forderungen für die Ausgestaltung von Schreibzentren und schreibdidaktischer Arbeit
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
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
