Data and analysis supplement to "Reconceiving Argument Schemes as Descriptive and Practically Normative"
No full textThis Supplement accompanies the Article: "Reconceiving Argument Schemes as Descriptive and Practically Normative," appearing in Argumentation, DOI: 10.1007/s10503-023-09608-7. The main explanatory document here is the one titled "Reconceiving Argument Schemes as Descriptive and Practically Normative SUPP.pdf". It describes the data collection and analysis methods, presents examples of the analysis, and details the findings used for the Article. It also describes the rest of the files and includes the data used for the qualitative analysis in this study. The article also relied on data available in Larson, Brian, 2020, "Coding guide & replication data for 'Precedent as Rational Persuasion'", https://doi.org/10.18738/T8/SXNR02, Texas Data Repository, V1
Replication Data for 'Endogenous & Dangerous'
No full textThis study analyzed the relations of cases that judges cited in their judicial opinions to the cases that lawyers had cited in their persuasive memoranda to the courts in advance of the judicial opinions, considering how frequently and under what circumstances the judges cited cases that the lawyers had not. The findings appear in the journal article "Endogenous and Dangerous," in volume 22 of Nevada Law Journal, forthcoming 2022. This dataset supplements the dataset the author used for a previous article. Replication of the present study would require use both of the previous dataset and this supplementary one. See Brian N. Larson, Precedent as Rational Persuasion, 25 Legal Writing: The Journal of the Legal Writing Institute 135–212 (2021); Larson, Brian, 2020, "Coding guide & replication data for 'Precedent as Rational Persuasion'", https://doi.org/10.18738/T8/SXNR02, Texas Data Repository, V1
Coding guide & replication data for 'Precedent as Rational Persuasion'
No full textThis study analyzed the uses that legal authors—judges and the lawyers appearing before them—made of previous court opinions that they cited in their arguments. The study developed novel methods for segmenting legal texts and studying this unit of analysis. The principal findings appear in the journal article "Precedent as Rational Persuasion," in volume 25 of Legal Writing: Journal of the Legal Writing Institute, forthcoming 2021. The most complete information about the dataset is in the file titled "Coding guide and Replication Data.PDF," and any external references to pagination in this dataset should be to that document

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
