Étude sur l’offre commerciale de livres numériques à destination des bibliothèques de lecture publique
Full text linkDans un contexte où la transition numérique du livre suscite de nombreuses interrogations sur l’avenir des différents acteurs de la chaîne du livre, le ministère de la Culture et de la Communication (Direction générale des médias et des industries culturelles, Service du livre et de la lecture) a souhaité favoriser la concertation autour de la question de la diffusion du livre numérique en bibliothèque. Pour ce faire, il a jugé utile de nourrir la réflexion commune par des éléments de synthèse et d’analyse sur la situation en France et dans plusieurs pays étrangers (États-Unis, Canada, Allemagne, Espagne, Royaume-Uni, Suède et Pays-Bas), et a confié à l’IDATE la réalisation d’une étude sur le sujet.
S’appuyant sur une analyse documentaire et sur près de quarante entretiens avec des professionnels et des experts des pays étudiés, l’étude a été menée entre juin 2012 et février 2013, sous la direction d’un comité de pilotage associant, outre les commanditaires de l’étude, des représentants des bibliothèques et de l’édition
Modèles économiques de l’édition de livres accessibles (Les)
Full text linkLe ministère de la culture et de la communication a confié en 2014 au cabinet IDATE la réalisation d’une étude sur les modèles économiques qui pourront se mettre en place autour de l’édition de livres accessibles au plus grand nombre.
L’édition numérique permet de couvrir une grande majorité des besoins des personnes en situation de handicap grâce à :
-l’affichage en gros caractères ;
-l’accès à une version audio en voix humaine ou de synthèse ;
-la restitution du texte vers un terminal « braille numérique » ;
une navigation structurée au sein de l’œuvre.
Si l’EPUB 2, le format le plus couramment disponible aujourd’hui, n’intègre pas systématiquement ou de manière pleinement satisfaisante ces fonctions d’accessibilité, l’EPUB 3 qui est le standard à venir de l’édition inclut et améliore ces possibilités.
En tablant sur l’adoption généralisée de l’EPUB 3 et l’adaptation progressive du parc de lecteurs numériques, le cabinet IDATE estime qu’en 2016, environ 40 % de la production éditoriale commerciale en France devrait être accessible aux personnes en situation de handicap. Cette part comprendra essentiellement des livres ne comprenant que du texte. En effet, pour les ouvrages plus complexes (textes illustrés, manuels scolaires), les investissements nécessaires – détaillés dans l’étude - sont conséquents et impliquent un calendrier plus long.
Le développement du numérique permet en outre d’améliorer la diffusion en permettant un accès distant aux œuvres. Cette diffusion elle-même pourra être rationalisée, améliorée et facilitée selon des pistes identifiées dans cette étude : place des plate-formes commerciales, visibilité de l’offre accessible par les métadonnées et un label, rôle des bibliothèques publiques, par exemple
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
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
