ACT: An Annotation Platform for Citation Typing at Scale
Full text linkIn this paper we introduce the Academic Citation Typing (ACT) Platform, a highly scalable online tool that takes as its input any full text research paper and which then enables rapid annotation and classification of in-text citations according to purpose and in uence. In contrast to previous work, we employ first authors as annotators. Our evaluation shows that these authors are able to quickly classify the citations within their own papers. Over 200 authors have thus far annotated their papers using the ACT platform. This approach has already enabled the collection of the largest dataset of citations annotated according to their purposes and influence on the citing paper. Furthermore, this process is ongoing and the dataset will continue to expand following this initial phase
Heading for Open Science: Filling the Knowledge Gap
No full textPoster at Open Repositories 2014, Helsinki, Finland, June 9-13, 2014Posters, Demos and Developer "How-To's"The FOSTER (Foster Open Science Training for European Research) project, funded by the European Commission, will facilitate a wide range of Open Science training – supplemented by a collection of learning and training materials, and a helpdesk, on its platform. New materials will evolve from trainings and in addition, a certification of training units for post-graduate curricula will be explored. For all these, close collaboration with a wide range of partners is foreseen, from the project partners such as European universities and associations with experiences in open access policies and practices, digital curation, as well as infrastructure and services for research data.Schmidt, Birgit (University of Göttingen, Germany)Rodrigues, Eloy (University of Minho, Portugal)Kuchma, Iryna (eIFL.net, Netherlands)Grigorov, Ivo (Technical University of Denmark, Denmark)Knoth, Petr (KMi, The Open University, United Kingdom

Interoperable verification and dissemination of software assets in repositories using COAR Notify
Full text linkThe discoverability, attribution, and reusability of open research software are often hindered by its obscurity within academic manuscripts. To address this, the SoFAIR project (2024–2025) introduces a comprehensive workflow leveraging machine learning tools for extracting software mentions from research papers. The project integrates repository systems, authors, and services like HAL and Software Heritage to ensure proper archiving, citation, and accessibility of research software in alignment with FAIR principles. To enable interoperable communication across the various systems we present an integration of the COAR Notify Protocol, which facilitates automated, interoperable communication among repositories and authors to validate and disseminate software mentions. This paper outlines the SoFAIR workflow and the implementation of the COAR Notify Protocol, emphasising its potential to enhance the visibility and credibility of research software as first-class bibliographic records
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
