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

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
Widening contexts for processability theory: theories and issues Processability approaches to language acquisition research & teaching ;, vol. 7./ edited by Anne Lenzing, Howard Nicholas, Jana Roos.
No full textIncludes bibliographical references and index."This book explores relationships between Processability Theory approaches and other approaches to SLA. It is distinctive in two ways. It offers PT-insiders a way to see connections between their familiar traditions and theories with other ways of working. Parallel to this it offers readers who work in other traditions ways of connecting with a research tradition that makes precise testable claims about second language acquisition processes. These dual perspectives mean that both beginning and established SLA researchers as well as those seeking to connect their work with views of language learning will find something of interest. Studies of multiple languages and multiple aspects of language are included. Chapters cover areas as diverse as literacy, language comprehension, language attrition and language testing"--Contextualising issues in processability theory / Anke Lenzing, Howard Nicholas and Jana Roos -- Towards an integrated model of grammatical encoding and decoding in SLA / Anke Lenzing -- Productive and receptive processes in PT / Patti Spinner and Sehoon Jung -- Is morpho-syntactic decoding governed by processability theory? / Aafke Buyl -- Case within the phrasal procedure stage : sequences of acquisition in Russian L2 / Daniele Artoni -- Developing morpho-syntax in non-configurational languages : a comparison between Russian L2 and Italian L2 / Marco Magnani -- Using the multiplicity framework to reposition and reframe the hypothesis space / Howard Nicholas and Donna Starks -- Processability theory as a tool in the study of a heritage speaker of Norwegian / Arnstein Hjelde, Bjørn Harald Kvifte, Linda Evenstad Emilsen and Ragnar Arntzen -- Discourse-pragmatic conditions for object topicalisation structures in early L2 Chinese / Yanyin Zhang -- Modelling relative clauses in processability theory and lexical-functional grammar / Emilia Nottbeck -- Early development and relative clause constructions in English as a second language : a longitudinal study / Satomi Kawaguchi and Yumiko Yamaguchi -- Exploiting the potential of tasks for targeted language learning in the EFL classroom / Jana Roos -- Teaching the German case system : a comparison of two approaches to the study of learner readiness / Kristof Baten -- Development of English question formation in the EFL context of China : recasts or prompts? / Huifang (Lydia) Li and Noriko Iwashita -- Can print literacy impact upon learning to speak standard Australian English? / Carly Steele and Rhonda Oliver -- The role of grammatical development in oral assessment / Maria Eklund Heinonen -- 17How does PT's view of acquisition relate to the challenge of widening perspectives on SLA? / Howard Nicholas, Anke Lenzing and Jana Roos.1 online resource
