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
DYDAKTYKA JĘZYKA KOREAŃSKIEGO W ERZE GLOBALIZACJI - ZE SZCZEGÓLNYM UWZGLĘDNIENIEM PODRĘCZNIKÓW ORAZ POMOCY DYDAKTYCZNYCH
Get PDFA keen interest in the culture and economic development of the Republic of Korea has resulted in establishing business relations between Korea and various countries all around the world. The Korean War (1950-1953) is said to be the catalyst for Korean Studies, since it has generated a considerable interest in Korean history, language and culture. Yet, when the Korean Language Education (henceforward KLE) is being referred to, usually the years when the boom for "everything that is Korean” started, which could be attributed to the successfully organized Summer Olympics in 1988 and co-organized Asian World Cup in 2002, are being mentioned. This was when the world saw a different side of Korea. However, also thanks to the enormous popularity of Hallyu and the support of the South Korean Government given to initiatives, which among others, popularize the Korean language, the interest in various aspects of Korean culture as well as the language itself, has become higher than ever before. Since the turn of the 21st century, South Korea is perceived as one of the world\u27s leading exporters of culture and tourism, and Hangeul became one of the exported goods.The aim of this research is to analyze the situation of KLE in the era of globalization, which along with the spread of lingua franca, among them English, is endangering the language variety of the world. In order to do so, several significant dates and initiatives showing how Korean scholars and the Government have influenced and shaped the language policy and thus have contributed to the popularization of the language all around the world will also be referred to. Government sponsored institutions providing Korean language classes, as well as books and other teaching materials, will be discussed and classified. The article will also try to answer the question concerning the future of the KLE.대한민국의 문화와 경제 발전에 대한 관심은 한국과 세계 각국 간의 통상 관계를 발전시키는 데에 큰 역할을 하였다. 한국 전쟁(1950-1953)은 한국의 역사와 문화 및 한국어에 상당한 관심을 불러일으키는 촉매제가 되었다. 그럼에도 불구하고 한국어 교육을 이를 때 대체로 급성장이 시작된 지난 몇 년간을 언급하는 것은 서울에서 성공적으로 개최된 1988년 하계 올림픽 및 2002년 월드컵 등과 같은 국제스포츠행사들의 결과다. 그 당시에 전 세계는 한국의 새로운 면모를 발견하게 되었다. 한류의 엄청난 인기와 한국어 교육의 발전을 위한 대한민국 정부의 적극적인 지원 덕분에 다양한 측면의 한국 문화와 한국어에 대한 관심이 그 어느 때보다 높아졌다. 한국은 21세기 초반부터 세계적으로 문화 관광의 주요 수출국으로 인식되어 왔으며, 한글은 그 수출품 중 하나가 되었다.본 연구의 목적은 영어 등과 같은 링구아 프랑크라의 확산과 세계 언어의 다양성을 위협하고 있는 세계화 시대에서의 한국어 교육 현황을 분석하는 데에 있다. 본 주제를 광범위하게 논의하기 위해 먼저 주요한 사업계획과 일정을 통해서 한국 학자들이 정부와 더불어 언어 정책에 어떤 영향을 미쳤는지, 그 정책을 어떻게 수립해 왔는지, 이를 통해 어떻게 한국어를 전세계적으로 확산시키는 데에 이바지하였는가를 알아보고자 한다. 또한 한국 정부로부터 지원을 받아 한국어 교육을 제공하는 교육기관을 살펴볼 것이다. 뿐만 아니라 교재 및 기타 교육용 자료의 특성을 논의한 다음 그 분류를 제시할 것이다. 이 연구는 향후 전세계 한국어 교육의 미래에 관한 질문에 답을 찾으려 한다.Żywe zainteresowanie kulturą oraz rozwojem gospodarczym Korei Południowej doprowadziło do nawiązania stosunków handlowych między Koreą a różnymi krajami na całym świecie. Wojna koreańska (1950-1953) uważana jest za katalizator studiów koreanistycznych, ponieważ wzbudziła duże zainteresowanie koreańską historią, językiem i kulturą. Niemniej jednak, mówiąc o dydaktyce języka koreańskiego, ma się zwykle na myśli ostatnie lata, kiedy to nastał boom na wszystko, co koreańskie. Jest to, oczywiście, wynik pomyślnie zorganizowanych bądź współorganizowanych w Seulu międzynarodowych wydarzeń sportowych, takich jak m.in. Letnie Igrzyska Olimpijskie (1988) czy Mistrzostwa Świata w Piłce Nożnej (2002). To właśnie wtedy świat ujrzał inne oblicze Korei. Jednakże również dzięki ogromnej popularności Hallyu oraz wsparciu Rządu Korei Południowej dla inicjatyw służących m.in. popularyzacji języka koreańskiego zainteresowanie różnymi aspektami koreańskiej kultury, jak również samym językiem koreańskim stało się większe niż kiedykolwiek wcześniej. Od początku XXI wieku Korea Południowa jest postrzegana jako jeden ze światowych liderów, promujących swoją kulturę i turystykę, a alfabet koreański – Hangeul stał się jednym z jej towarów eksportowych.Celem niniejszego artykułu jest dokonanie analizy sytuacji dydaktyki języka koreańskiego w erze globalizacji, która wraz z rozprzestrzenianiem się m.in. języka angielskiego jako lingua franca zagraża różnorodności językowej świata. Aby w jak najpełniejszy sposób przedstawić badane zagadnienie jako pierwsze zostaną przytoczone daty najważniejszych wydarzeń, bez których nie można byłoby mówić o współczesnej dydaktyce języka koreańskiego, oraz inicjatywy pokazujące, w jaki sposób koreańscy naukowcy oraz Rząd Republiki Korei kształtowali i nadal kształtują politykę językową, a tym samym przyczyniają się do popularyzacji języka koreańskiego na całym świecie. Zostaną tu również przywołane różne instytucje oświatowe, oferujące zajęcia z języka koreańskiego, a działające dzięki rządowemu finansowaniu. Ponadto, zostaną tu omówione i sklasyfikowane podręczniki do nauki języka koreańskiego oraz inne pomoce dydaktyczne. Artykuł spróbuje udzielić odpowiedzi na pytanie dotyczące przyszłości dydaktyki języka koreańskiego na świecie
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
