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
Lavender Languages and Linguistics -konferenssi tuo yhteen queer-kielitieteilijät eri puolilta maailmaa
Get PDFHomoässä, hintonaatio ja heiluvat kädet : kansanlingvistisiä käsityksiä suomenkielisten homomiesten puheesta
Get PDFTämän tutkielman tavoitteena on selvittää, millaisia käsityksiä ei-kielitieteilijöillä on suomenkielisten homomiesten puheesta. Tutkimuskysymyksiä ovat: Mitä piirteitä maallikot liittävät homomiesten puheeseen? Millaisia asenteita käsityksiin liittyy? Miksi homoille tyypillistä puhetapaa ajatellaan käytettävän tai kartettavan? Samalla tutkielman taustatavoitteena on ehdottaa suomen kielen tutkimuskentän laajentamista jatkossa yhä enemmän sukupuoli- ja seksuaali-identiteettien moninaisuuden alueelle.
Tutkielmassa on käytössä homomiesten haastatteluista koostuva aineisto ja poliittisten nuorisojärjestöjen kautta kerätty kyselyaineisto. Teoreettisesti tutkielma kytkeytyy sosio- ja kansanlingvistiikkaan. Siihen vaikuttavat lisäksi feminismit ja aiempi tutkimus kielen, seksuaalisuuden ja sukupuolen suhteista. Analyysityökaluina toimivat kvantitatiivinen sisällön erittely, kvalitatiivinen sisällönanalyysi sekä feministinen vastakarvaan lukemisen metodi.
Selvästi suurin osa informanteista liitti homouteen jonkin puhetavan. Yleisintä oli uskoa homososiolektin olemassaoloon mutta kuitenkin nähdä siinä vaihtelua ja erottaa stereotypiat tai mediarepresentaatiot todellisuudesta. Keskeisimmiksi syiksi käyttää homososiolektiä nähtiin sosiaalinen ympäristö, kaappi tai riskinoton kieli, oman identiteetin viestiminen ja fysiologiset syyt. Myös mediaa pidettiin yhtenä syynä homososiolektin leviämiseen. Homomiesten puheen piirteistä painottuivat erityisesti feminiinisiksi koetut korkea ääni, nasaali, korkeusvaihtelut, kanonisesta poikkeava /s/, kova äänen-voimakkuus, asenneadjektiivien ja erikoissanaston käyttö sekä runsas nonverbaliikka. Valtaosa kaikista mainituista puheen piirteistä vaikutti kytkeytyvän kielenulkoisiin homostereotypioihin. Aineiston homomiehillä oli yksityiskohtaisempi kuva homososiolektistä kuin heteroseksuaalisilla informanteilla. Selvä enemmistö homomiehistä myös koki itse puhuvansa ainakin jossain määrin homomaisesti. Asenteet homososiolektiä kohtaan olivat pääosin neutraaleja, kahtalaisia tai epäselviä. Negatiivisimmat asenteet ilmaisivat homomiehet itse. Naisinformanteille puolestaan oli hyvin harvinaista ilmaista negatiivista asennetta homososiolektiä kohtaan.
Jatkossa tätä tutkielmaa voisi täydentää esimerkiksi toisenlaisilla kohderyhmillä sekä kuuntelutestien tai niihin liittyvien kuvien käytöllä. Homomiesten puheen sosiolingvistiseen tarkasteluun tarvittaisiin myös muita kuin kansanlingvistisiä lähestymistapoja. Toivottavaa olisi sekin, että tulevaisuudessa suomen kielen tutkimuksessa tarkasteltaisiin lähemmin muitakin sukupuoli- ja seksuaali-identiteettejä
Situational variation in bigender Finnish speakers’ idiolects
No full textThis presentation focuses on a doctoral thesis in the field of Finnish language. The ongoing study examines situational variation in four bigender Finnish speakers’ idiolects, especially in relation to ‘switching’ or fluid movement between two genders. The aim of the study is to map the relationship between gender performance and speech, both in the speakers’ language consciousness and in their actual everyday conversations. How do they perform their two genders with language and voice? How do they perform ‘the closet’ when they are talking to people who are not aware of their gender identity? How conscious are these acts? The study utilizes a multidisciplinary theoretical and methodological approach. It consists of folk linguistic content analysis, sociophonetic analysis, and queer theories. The data contains interviews, self-recordings, and recording diaries written by the participants. At the time of the presentation, a pilot study with one participant will be underway. The presentation will discuss how the pilot data will inform the study design, as well as introduce some preliminary observations on the data
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
