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
The adjective in the Apostle Paul: morphology, semantics and hermeneutical function in the Pauline texts
No full textThe doctoral dissertation attempts to study the function of the adjective within the pauline corpus of the New Testament with an interpretive tool of one of the branches of Linguistics, that of Morphology. Initially, the morphological examination of the constructed adjectives of the corpus is attempted. All adjectives are recorded and classified according to their morphological construction. The neologisms of the corpus are sought from all the constructed adjectives and the morphology and semantics of each neologism is described. This analysis is used in the interpretation of neologisms to shed light on interpretive issues through their linguistic nature, to prove the use of Morphology as an interpretive tool of the biblical text. The conclusion that emerges from this study relates to the varied use of adjectives as linguistic means of expressing the apostle's theological thought. Examples of adjectives that are identifiers of persons (of Christ, of the apostle, of the bishops, of the people of the end times, of the believers, of some groups acting contrary to the apostles, of people in general), of things (of the Bible, of gifts, of certain meanings) are analyzed as well as adjectives that are indicative of relationships. Quantitative and qualitative analysis of adjectives is attempted using the methods of Computational Linguistics. The frequency list is presented and based on the data it offers, an interpretation and study of adjectives is attempted, while at the same time their overall examination is attempted based on their semantic characteristics (metaphor, emphasis, neology), to understand the way in which the adjective contributed to the formation of the theological discourse of the apostle. Finally, the way of creating the electronic dictionary of pauline adjectives is presented and its lexicographical principles are described.H διδακτορική διατριβή επιχειρεί να μελετήσει τη λειτουργία του επίθετου μέσα στο παύλειο corpus της Καινής Διαθήκης με ερμηνευτικό εργαλείο έναν από τους κλάδους της Γλωσσολογίας, αυτόν της Μορφολογίας. Αρχικά, επιχειρείται η μορφολογική εξέταση των κατασκευασμένων επιθέτων του corpus. Καταγράφονται όλα τα επίθετα και ταξινομούνται με κριτήριο την μορφολογική τους κατασκευή. Από το σύνολο των κατασκευασμένων επιθέτων αναζητούνται οι νεολογισμοί του corpus και περιγράφεται ειδικώς η μορφολογία και η σημασιολογία κάθε νεολογισμού. Η ανάλυση αυτή αξιοποιείται στην ερμηνεία των νεολογισμών με σκοπό να φωτίσει ερμηνευτικά ζητήματα μέσω της γλωσσικής τους φύσης. Το συμπέρασμα που προκύπτει από την εν λόγω μελέτη σχετίζεται με την πολυποίκιλη χρήση των επιθέτων ως γλωσσικών μέσων έκφρασης της θεολογικής σκέψης του αποστόλου. Αναλύονται παραδείγματα επιθέτων που είναι προσδιοριστικά προσώπων (του Χριστού, του αποστόλου, των επισκόπων, των ανθρώπων των έσχατων χρόνων, των πιστών, κάποιων ομάδων με δράση αντίθετη των αποστόλων, των ανθρώπων γενικά), πραγμάτων (της Γραφής, των χαρισμάτων, κάποιων εννοιών) και επίθετα που είναι δηλωτικά σχέσεων. Επιχειρείται η ποσοτική και ποιοτική ανάλυση των επιθέτων με εργαλείο τις μεθόδους της Υπολογιστικής Γλωσσολογίας. Παρουσιάζεται ο κατάλογος συχνότητας και με βάση τα δεδομένα που προσφέρει επιχειρείται μία ερμηνεία και μελέτη των επιθέτων, ενώ παράλληλα επιχειρείται η συνολική εξέτασή τους με κριτήριο τα σημασιολογικά χαρακτηριστικά τους (μεταφορά, επίταση, νεολογία). Με την ανάλυση αυτή κατανοείται ο τρόπος με τον οποίο το επίθετο συνέβαλε στη διαμόρφωση του θεολογικού λόγου του αποστόλου. Τέλος, παρουσιάζεται ο τρόπος δημιουργίας του ηλεκτρονικού λεξικού των παύλειων επιθέτων και περιγράφονται οι λεξικογραφικές αρχές του
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
