Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe 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
Author, publisher and bookseller : a tripartite synergy in Nigerian book industry
No full textThis work is about the roles of Author, Publisher and Bookseller in Book development in
Nigeria. The paper started by delving into the history of Book Publishing in Nigeria after
which it proceeded by defining who an author, a publisher, and a bookseller is and
expatiated on the indispensable roles of these key actors in Nigerian Book Industry and in
the emerging Information Society. Furthermore, the various constraints to book
development were identified while the paper advised on how the Book Industry can be
further promoted in Nigeria. However, the paper concluded and made recommendations
on how the Book sector can help in enhancing scholarship in the country

About this Dataset
The field of Perceptual Dialectology is an area of sociolinguistic study that investigates how non-linguists view different varieties of language. It often includes hand-drawn map exercises in which participants indicate where they believe various varieties are spoken, and their attitudes towards them.
In 2015, as part of a public linguistics outreach event (the Dublin Language Garden) held at Trinity College Dublin, the authors created an activity for members of the public and collected hand-drawn maps from them that gave responses to the following tasks:
a. Indicate where you come from on the map (using a red dot sticker)
b. Draw where you think the Dublin dialect occurs
c. Draw the boundaries of any other dialects you believe occur in Ireland
d. Tell us what you think are the features of those dialects
e. Tell us what you think are the characteristics of the people who speak those dialects.
Participants of all ages were encouraged to take part, but only data from those over 18 were retained after the event and used in this data collection. Participants were all given information on how the data was to be anonymised, processed and published on a clearly displayed poster to read before they were given a map to complete the 5 tasks (listed above). No additional information about the participants, aside from that acquired through Task a, was collected.

This zipped folder contains the .kml data of multiple hand-drawn maps organised into folders by their location
DLG_PDIE_KML_data_by_part.zip
This zipped folder contains the .kml data of multiple hand-drawn maps organised into folders according to the participants.
These folders have been organised in this way in order to make discoverability easier between the data. Users may wish to analyse the data only by the locations of the varieties identified by the participants. Other users may only be interested in the data given by specific participants, and therefore the folder that organises the data in this way may be of better use to them. Both folders, however, contain the same data, it is simply how they are organised.

Mining e-mail content for author identification forensics
No full textWe describe an investigation into e-mail content mining for author identification, or authorship attribution, for the purpose of forensic investigation. We focus our discussion on the ability to discriminate between authors for the case of both aggregated e-mail topics as well as across different email topics. An extended set of e-mail document features including structural characteristics and linguistic patterns were derived and, together with a Support Vector Machine learning algorithm, were used for mining the e-mail content. Experiments using a number of e-mail documents generated by different authors on a set of topics gave promising results for both aggregated and multi-topic author categorisation
Variations on the Author
No full text“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
