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
聋人社区的社会文化身份：埃马纽埃尔·拉博里特的《海鸥之歌》分析
Get PDFيتم تقديم المقال كتحليل عاكس للهوية الاجتماعية والثقافية لمجتمع الصم. تلبي فئات التحليل الموجودة في هذا العمل الأهداف التي وضعناها لأنفسنا: تسليط الضوء على خصوصية هوية مجتمع الصم، والتي تتجلى في استخدام لغة الإشارة؛ الإصرار على ضرورة الاعتراف بلغة الإشارة كلغة أخرى تميز مجموعة من الناس وتحدد هويتهم؛ والتفكير في الحاجة إلى رفع مستوى الوعي بالضمير الجماعي لتعزيز المساواة وإدماج مجتمع الصم. تعتمد المنهجية المستخدمة على نهج نوعي، بهدف تحقيق أهدافنا وفهم أفضل لكيفية تعريف الهوية الثقافية للصم. للقيام بذلك، نأخذ كمرجع تحليل قصة السيرة الذاتية صرخة النورس 7، التي كتبها إيمانويل لابوريت. تروي هذه الكاتبة، وهي صماء منذ ولادتها، العملية الصعبة التي تمكنت من خلالها من تحقيق هويتها كشخص صماء. ولذلك توصلنا إلى استنتاجات مفادها أننا بفضل تجربة هذا المؤلف تمكنا من التأمل في أهمية لغة الإشارة في تحديد هوية الشخص الأصم، وفي مفهوم هوية الصم. يشير الاستنتاج الآخر لتحليل السيرة الذاتية هذا إلى الحاجة إلى اعتبار لغة الإشارة لغة أخرى وتقديرها كأداة يستخدمها الصم لبناء هويتهمThis article presents a reflective analysis of the socio-cultural identity of the Deaf Community. The categories of analysis present in this work meet the objectives we establish in it: to highlight the identity peculiarity of the Deaf Community, which is manifested in the use of the sign language; to insist on the need to see sign language as just one more language that characterises a group of people and defines their identity; and to reflect on the necessity to raise collective awareness to promote equality and the inclusion of the Deaf Community. In order to achieve our objectives and better understand how the cultural identity of the deaf is defined, the methodology used is based on a qualitative approach. For this purpose, we took as a reference the analysis of the autobiographical story The cry of the seagull, by Emmanuelle Laborit. This writer, deaf since birth, relates the difficult process through which she eventually managed to achieve her identity as a deaf person. Therefore, we have come to the conclusion that, thanks to the experience of this author, we have been able to reflect on the importance of sign language in defining the identity of a deaf person, and on the concept of deafidentity. Another conclusion of this autobiographical analysis refers to the necessity to consider sign language as another language and to value it as an instrument that deaf people use to construct their identity.El artículo se presenta como un análisis reflexivo sobre la identidad socio-cultural de la Comunidad de Sordos. Las categorías de análisis presentes en este trabajo cumplen con los objetivos que nos marcamos en él: destacar la peculiaridad identitaria de la Comunidad de Sordos, que se manifiesta en el uso de la lengua de signos; insistir en la necesidad de reconocer la lengua de signos como un idioma más que caracteriza a un grupo de personas y que define su identidad; y reflexionar sobre la necesidad de sensibilizar la conciencia colectiva para promover la igualdad y la inclusión de la Comunidad de Sordos. La metodología utilizada se basa en un enfoque cualitativo, con el propósito de alcanzar nuestros objetivos y comprender mejor cómo se define la identidad cultural de los sordos. Para ello, tomamos como referencia el análisis del relato autobiográfico El grito de la gaviota, de Emmanuelle Laborit. Dicha escritora, sorda de nacimiento, relata el difícil proceso a través del cual consigue alcanzar su identidad como persona sorda. Por lo tanto, hemos llegado a las conclusiones de que, gracias a la experiencia de esta autora, hemos podido reflexionar sobre la importancia de la lengua de signos para definir la identidad de una persona sorda, y sobre el concepto de identidad sorda. Otra conclusión de este análisis autobiográfico se refiere a la necesidad de considerar la lengua de signos como un idioma más y valorarlo como un instrumento que las personas sordas utilizan para construir su identidad.L’article s’inscrit comme une analyse réflexive portant sur l’identité socioculturelle de la communauté sourde. Les catégories d’analyse mises en oeuvre dans ce travail répondent aux objectifs que nous nous sommes fixés: d’une part, mettre en lumière la singularité identitaire de la communauté des sourds, qui se manifeste à travers l’utilisation de la langue des signes ; d’autre part, souligner l’impératif de reconnaître la langue des signes comme une langue à part entière, marquant l’identité d’un groupe social spécifique, et enfin, réfléchir à la nécessité d’une sensibilisation collective en faveur de l’égalité et de l’inclusion des personnes sourdes. La méthodologie retenue repose sur une approche qualitative, visant à approfondir la compréhension des processus de construction de l’identité culturelle des sourds. À cet égard, nous avons pris pour point de référence l’analyse du récit autobiographique Le Cri de la Mouette3, d’Emmanuelle Laborit, une auteure sourde de naissance, qui retrace le parcours difficile à travers lequel elle parvient à conquérir son identité de sourde. Les conclusions de cette analyse révèlent que, grâce à l’expérience partagée par l’auteure, il nous a été possible de réfléchir à l’importance fondamentale de la langue des signes dans la construction de l’identité des personnes sourdes, ainsi qu’au concept même d’identité sourde. Une autre conclusion significative de cette analyse autobiographique réside dans la nécessité de considérer la langue des signes non seulement comme une langue distincte, mais aussi comme un outil de valorisation permettant aux personnes sourdes de définir et d’affirmer leur identité. O artigo apresenta-se como uma análise reflexiva sobre a identidade sociocultural da Comunidade Surda. As categorias de análise presentes neste trabalho vão ao encontro dos objetivos que nos propomos: evidenciar a peculiaridade identitária da Comunidade Surda, que se manifesta no uso da língua de sinais; insistir na necessidade de reconhecer a língua gestual como outra língua que caracteriza um grupo de pessoas e define a sua identidade; e refletir sobre a necessidade de sensibilizar a consciência coletiva para promover a igualdade e a inclusão da Comunidade Surda. A metodologia utilizada baseia-se numa abordagem qualitativa, com o propósito de atingir os nossos objetivos e compreender melhor como se define a identidade cultural dos surdos. Para isso, tomamos como referência a análise do conto autobiográfico O grito da gaivota4, de Emmanuelle Laborit. Esta escritora, surda de nascença, relata o difícil processo através do qual consegue alcançar a sua identidade de pessoa surda. Portanto, chegamos à conclusão de que, graças à experiência destaautora, pudemos refletir sobre a importância da língua de sinais na definição da identidade de uma pessoa surda e sobre o conceito de identidade surda. Outra conclusão desta análise autobiográfica refere-se à necessidade de considerar a língua de sinais como outra língua e valorizá-la como instrumento que os surdos utilizam para construir sua identidade. Статья представляет собой рефлексивный анализ социокультурной идентичности сообщества глухих. В ней рассматриваются категории анализа, которые соответствуют целям статьи: выделить индивидуальные особенности идентичности сообщества глухих, проявляющиеся в использовании жестового языка; сосредоточиться на необходимости признания жестового языка как самостоятельного языка, характеризующего группу людей и определяющего их идентичность; а также размышлять о необходимости повышения коллективного сознания для продвижения равенства и инклюзии сообщества глухих. Мы использовали качественную методологию, чтобы достичь поставленных целей и лучше понять, как определяется культурная идентичность глухих людей. Для этого мы проанализировали автобиографический рассказ Эмманюэль Лабори «Крик чайки»5. Писательница, глухая с рождения, описывает сложный процесс, через который ей удалось обрести свою идентичность как глухого человека. Размышления над работой этой писательницы приводят нас к выводу о важности жестового языка в определении идентичности глухого человека, а также, о понятии глухой идентичности. Еще один вывод из анализа этого автобиографического рассказа заключается в том, что жестовый язык следует рассматривать не только как самостоятельный язык, но и как инструмент, используемый глухими людьми для построения своей идентичности.本文对聋人社群的社会文化身份进行了反思性分析。文中所采的分析范畴与 我们的研究目标 相一致：突出聋人社群身份的特殊性，这种特殊性体现在手语 的使用上；强调将手语视为一种 语言的必要性，它不仅是聋人社群的特征，还 定义了这一群体的身份；深入思考唤起公众意识 的必要性，以促进对聋人社群 的包容和平等。为实现上述研究目标并更好地理解聋人文化身份 的界定，本文 采用了定性研究的方法。我们参考了了埃马纽埃尔·拉博里特（Emmanuelle Laborit）的自传性作品《海鸥的呼喊6》。这位天生失聪的作者在书中叙述了她 最终实现聋人身 份认同的艰辛历程。我们得出的结论是，通过这位作者的经历 ，我们得以对手语在定义聋人身 份方面的重要性，以及聋人身份这一概念进行 反思。本自传分析得出的另一结论是，我们有必 要将手语视为一种语言，并将 其作为聋人构建其身份的重要工具加以重视

Il viaggio migratorio. Una prospettiva umanista.
Get PDFL’articolo presenta una riflessione su come il migrante affronta il viaggio migratorio. Per analizzare questa tematica abbiamo fatto riferimento a tre testi autobiografici, emblematici nell’ambito della letteratura della migrazione: Io, venditore di elefanti, di Pap Kouma (1990), Ama il tuo sogno. Vita e rivolta nella terra dell’oro rosso di Yvan Sagnet (2012) e Il deserto negli occhi di Ibrahim Kane Annour (2013). Questi racconti sono le testimonianze dirette che ci hanno permesso di approfondire le diverse fasi del viaggio, dalla preparazione al ritorno, passando attraverso la partenza, il transito vero e proprio e l’adattamento alla nuova terra. Per il migrante il viaggio migratorio si impone come necessità per migliorare la sua vita, ma è anche un percorso che lo porta a una crescita interiore, alla conoscenza di sè stesso e dell’Altro. La conoscenza di queste esperienze porta invece il lettore, nella dimensione dell’alterità, suscitando empatia e condivisione
