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
Sopravvivere nel Terzo Reich: Gertrud Luckner e il suo impegno a favore degli ebrei. Proposta di traduzione di alcuni capitoli del libro "Gertrud Luckner, Botschafterin der Menschlichkeit" di Hans-Josef Wollasch
No full textL’obiettivo del presente elaborato è proporre una traduzione, dal tedesco all’italiano, di alcuni capitoli tratti dalla biografia Gertrud Luckner “Botschafterin der Menschlichkeit” di Hans-Josef Wollasch.
L’interesse nei confronti di questo libro, incentrato sulla figura di Gertrud Luckner, un’attivista tedesca oppositrice del Nazionalsocialismo, è stato incentivato dal desiderio di approfondire un aspetto quasi interamente sconosciuto ai nostri giorni: il ruolo delle donne nella Resistenza al regime nazionalsocialista.
L’elaborato si articola in quattro capitoli. Inizialmente vengono introdotti l’autore e la sua opera, per poi offrire un approccio teorico alla traduzione e facendo un breve cenno sulla traduzione letteraria. Successivamente si passa alla proposta di traduzione. Sono stati dapprima tradotti i capitoli più rilevanti della vita della donna, dal suo impegno iniziale a favore degli ebrei, al pedinamento da parte della Gestapo e alla conseguente deportazione nel campo di concentramento di Ravensbrück. I passaggi appena citati fungono da cornice per il seguito della traduzione, in cui vengono rese note alcune pagine del diario personale sul quale Gertrud Luckner ha annotato le sue riflessioni dal 27 aprile, suo ultimo giorno di prigionia nel campo di concentramento, al 22 luglio 1945.
Per concludere, nel quarto capitolo verrà fornito un commento alla traduzione relativo ai problemi riscontrati in corso d’opera e alle strategie adottate per risolverli
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

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
