No full textÜber das Erzählwürdige der Theorie in den Digital Humanities
No full textUnter dem Label "Digital Humanities" (DH) werden unterschiedliche Themen, Gegenstände und Erkenntnisansprüche subsumiert. Vielen gelten die DH als Erweiterung des klassischen Methodenkanons, da sie computergestützte Verfahren für die Geisteswissenschaften in Aussicht stellen. Gleichzeitig verstärken die DH, indem sie unter anderem neue Werkzeuge anbieten, auch praxeologische Tendenzen innerhalb der Geisteswissenschaften. Infolgedessen haben sich die Rede von der Theorielosigkeit der DH sowie Erzählungen vom "Ende der Theorie" in den Diskussionen über digitale Methoden, Praktiken und Forschungsinfrastrukturen als Hauptnarrative etabliert. Dem Status der Theorie in den DH widmete sich die Tagung "Theorytellings: Wissenschaftsnarrative in den Digital Humanities", die am 8. und 9. Oktober 2020 in Leipzig stattfand und von der Arbeitsgruppe "Digital Humanities Theorie" des Verbandes "Digital Humanities im deutschsprachigen Raum" und dem "Forum für Digital Humanities Leipzig" organisiert wurde
Investigating Constructivist Paradigms in Digital Humanities Scholarship
No full textThis submission deals with constructivist paradigms in the epistemic cultures of Digital Humanities. Therefore, it studies not only promises, implications, pitfalls of these paradigms in DH. Rather, it is an invitation to discuss variants of constructivism and consider possible alternatives to these prevalent paradigms
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
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
