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
Tussen-taal structurele priming en cognaten
No full textTussen-taal structurele priming meet de tussentaalactivatie van syntactische representaties (Hartsuiker et al., 2004). Het lexicon heeft invloed op de activatie van syntactische representaties, wat kan leiden tot sterkere structurele priming (o.a. Schoonbaert et al., 2007). In een meertalige context kan tussentaalactivatie op lexicaal niveau, dat plaatsvindt bij cognaten, tussentaalactivatie op syntactisch niveau versterken, wat resulteert in sterkere tussen-taal structurele priming (o.a. Bernolet et al., 2012). In taalbegrip is hier weinig onderzoek naar gedaan. In de huidige studie is daarom onderzocht of cognaten leiden tot sterkere structurele priming tussen talen in begrip. In een priming-experiment moesten Nederlands-Engelse tweetaligen bij het lezen van ambigue zinnen met PP-attachment een interpretatie kiezen uit twee plaatjes. De aanwezigheid van cognaten in de prime- en targetzin werd gemanipuleerd. Het bleek dat de geprimede interpretatie vaker opnieuw werd gekozen bij het interpreteren van de targetzin. Er bleek geen interactie-effect te zijn tussen cognaten en de geprimede interpretatie. Dit laat zien dat tussen-taal structurele priming in begrip optreedt, maar het effect wordt niet versterkt door cognaten
The role of phonology on recognising interlingual homographs in L1 sentence context
No full textResearch on bilingualism suggests that the mental lexicon contains words from both languages and that its lexical representations can be activated simultaneously. Interlingual homograph effects, in both isolation and sentence context, in both L1 and L2, support this. Although orthographic and semantic overlap had been studied, the role of phonological overlap remained less clear. The present study therefore investigated how full phonological overlap in interlingual homographs influences bilingual word recognition in L1 sentence context. Using a self-paced reading paradigm, Dutch-English bilinguals read Dutch sentences containing an interlingual homograph or a Dutch control word. Interlingual homographs were phonologically identical or non-identical across languages. Reading times for target words and post-target words were measured. Results showed no significant difference in reading times between interlingual homographs and control words, nor between these word types across the phonologically identical and non-identical conditions. These results indicate that cross-linguistic activation may be subject to certain limitations
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
