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
قواعد المد في القرآن الكريم في ضوء علم الأصوات الحديث / Lengthening rules in Quran Kareem in Modern Phonetics Studies
No full textملخص الدراسة:
يهدف هذا المقال إلى دراسة صوتية حديثة عن أحكام المد في القرآن الكريم؛ إذ نعيش اليوم في زمان لا نكتفي فيه بأقوال القدامى اللغويين، بل نحتاج إلى شكل جديد في إطار البحث العلمي. ويحاول الباحث أن يقدم قواعد وآراء جديدة لأحكام المد في القرآن الكريم، دون أن يترك ما فعل القراء القدامى واللغويون القدامى، بل يأتي بقواعد حديثة تناسب الواقع العلمي الآن. توصلت الدراسة إلى أن سمة [± طويل] تؤدي دوراً مهماً في تحول الألف فتحة إذا كانت ساكنة مفتوح ما قبلها، وتؤدي سمتا [+ تقدم جذر اللسان] دوراً مهما في تحويل القراءة بالمد الأصلي إلى القراءة بالمد المتوسط إذا وقعت الهمزة بعد حروف المد، وتؤدي كذلك سمة [+ علل فموية] دوراً مهماً مع سمة [+ انقباض مزماري] و[+ تقدم جذر اللسان] أثناء تحول المد الأصلي ومد اللين عند قراءة ورش إلى المد المتوسط إذا وقعت الهمزة بعد حروف المد وصوتيات العلل الفموية، وتؤدي سمة [+ ساكن] دوراً معيناً في تحول القراءة بالقصر إلى قراءة بالمد الطويل بست حركات إذا وقعت حركة طويلة قبل ساكنين مماثلين متتابعين.
الكلمات المفتاحية: المد - السمة – التمثيل الصوتي – القاعدة – الصوتيات.
Abstract:
This article attempts to study the rules of lengthening the vowels in the Holy Quran from the perspective of modern phonology discipline. We presently live at a time when the views of the traditional scholars are no longer enough as we need to put the knowledge in a new framework. In this paper the writer would like to propose new methods and new opinions regarding the rules of vowel lengthening (madd) in the Holy Quran in addition to the views and findings of the traditional scholars on this issue in order to come up with new perspectives that are more inclined to the reality of the development of the discipline today. Some of the most important findings of this study are: the [± long] feature plays a significant role in transforming the alif into a fathah if it is with sukun (no vowel sign) and preceded with an open vowel; the features of [+the advancement of the beginning of the tongue] is important in transforming the recitation of the original madd into the middle madd if the hamzah is positioned after the vowels of the madd. The feature of [+ oral deficiencies] plays a significant role with the feature of [+glottal contraction] and [+the advancement of the beginning of the tongue] during the transformation of the original and the liin (soft) madd in the Warash recitation into the middle madd if the hamzah is after the long vowels and the sounds from oral deficiencies. The feature of [+ sukun] plays an important role in transforming the recitation with short vowel into the long madd with six harakat if the long harakah is before two similar and consecutive sukuns.
Keywords: lengthening- features – phonological representation – rules – phonetics.
Abstrak
Artikel ini bertujuan untuk memberikan perspektif moden dan kajian fonetik yang berkaitan dengan kaedah Mad dalam pembacaan-pembacaan Al-Quran. Kita sedia maklum bahawa kaedah Mad adalah antara hukum Tajwid yang sering didapati dalam Alquran. Hari ini, kita berada dalam zaman yang memerlukan kepada bahan-bahan ilmiah yang telah dikemukakan oleh ulamak zaman silam. Kita juga memerlukan kepada method yang baru dalam kajian akademik. Artikel ini ditulis untuk mencadangkan method dan pandangan baru berkenaan dengan masalah kaedah Mad dalam Alquran, tanpa meminggirkan pendapat ulamak silam, tetapi mendatangkan kaedah fonetik yang lebih sesuai dengan bidang lapangan kajian akademik pada hari ini. Antara dapatan kajian yang penting ialah: ciri [± panjang] memainkan peranan yang penting dalam menukar alif kepada baris atas sekiranya ia bersukun dan didahului oleh dengan voweel terbuka; ciri [+pergerakan pangkal lidah] adalah penting dalam menukar pembacaan mad asli kepada mad sederhana sekiranya hamzah terletak selepas selepas vowel yang membentuk mad tersebut. Ciri [+ kecatatan oral] memainkan peranan penting bersama ciri-ciri [+pemendekan glotal] dan [+pergerakan pangkal lidah] semasa perubahan mad liin dan asli dalam qiraat Warash kepada mad sederhana sekiranya hamzah terletak selepas vowel panjang dan bunyi-bunyi daripada kecatatan oral. Ciri [+ sukun] pula memainkan peranan yang penting dalam menukar pembacaan bersama vowel pendek kepada mad panjang dengan enam harakat sekiranya baris panjang tersebut terletak sebelum dua sukun yang sama dan berturutan.
Kata Kunci: mad - ciri-ciri – gambaran fonetik – kaedah-kaedah – fonetik
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
