    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    Magistrsko delo obravnava vpliv tehnoloških značilnosti interneta na tradicionalne žanrske strukture v spletnih medijih in na jezikovne izbire v njih. V raziskavi analiziramo, kako se novinarska besedila na spletu razlikujejo od klasičnih oblik novinarskega pisanja, pri čemer upoštevamo vpliv multimedijskih in interaktivnih elementov ter sodelovanja uporabnikov. Osredotočamo se na hibridizacijo novinarskih žanrov in na vprašanje, kako novinarji razumejo ter uporabljajo tradicionalne žanrske oblike ter žanrotvorna in stilotvorna sredstva. Raziskava je zasnovana v treh delih. Teoretični okvir vključuje pregled literature o spletnem novinarstvu, s posebnim poudarkom na razvoju novih žanrov in jezikovnih strategij. Obravnavamo tudi izzive sodobnega spletnega novinarstva, vključno z vplivom družbenih omrežij in neposredno interakcijo bralcev z novinarsko vsebino. V empiričnem delu izvedemo žanrsko in besedilno analizo enotedenske produkcije spletnih medijev 24ur.com in Siol.net, ki sta najvplivnejša slovenska spletna medija. Z večkodnim pristopom preučujemo vpliv jezikovnih, vizualnih in interaktivnih komponent na strukturo žanrov ter izvedemo poglobljene intervjuje z novinarji teh dveh medijskih hiš. Na podlagi zbranih podatkov v zadnjem delu interpretiramo rezultate v kontekstu teoretskih izhodišč ter ocenjujemo, kako se tradicionalne novinarske prakse spreminjajo pod vplivom digitalnega okolja. Delo prispeva k boljšemu razumevanju sodobnih novinarskih žanrov in njihovega razvoja v okviru spletnega medijskega prostora.The master\u27s thesis examines the impact of the technological features of the internet on traditional genre structures in online media and the linguistic choices within them. The study analyzes how journalistic texts on the web differ from classical forms of journalistic writing, considering the influence of multimedia and interactive elements as well as user participation. The focus is on the hybridization of journalistic genres and the question of how journalists understand and apply traditional genre structures along with genre-forming and stylistic elements. The research is structured into three main parts. The theoretical framework includes a literature review on online journalism, with a particular emphasis on the development of new genres and linguistic strategies. It also addresses the challenges of contemporary online journalism, including the impact of social media and the direct interaction of readers with journalistic content. In the empirical section, a genre and textual analysis is conducted on one week\u27s worth of content produced by the online media 24ur.com and Siol.net, the two most influential Slovenian digital news platforms. Using a multimodal approach, the study examines the impact of linguistic, visual, and interactive components on genre structures and conducts in-depth interviews with journalists from both media organizations. Based on the collected data, the final section interprets the results in the context of the theoretical framework and evaluates how traditional journalistic practices are evolving under the influence of the digital environment. The study contributes to a deeper understanding of modern journalistic genres and their development within the online media landscape

    Variations on the Author

    “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

    We 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 PDF
    We 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 text
    We 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

    Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902

    No full text
    In Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
