North East Indian Linguistics Volume 5
No full textIt goes without saying that North East India is one of the most attractive areas on earth in terms of linguistic endeavors. Like its biological diversity, it is a homeland of various ethnic peoples and tribes, as well as their languages, belonging to four broadly-recognized families: Tibeto-Burman, Indo-Aryan, Austro-Asiatic and Tai-Kadai. For the last few decades, western scholars and local Indian scholars have been working on many languages in North East India. Although I am a newcomer in the field of North East Indian Linguistics, I find much research into various languages in the region to be very successful, not to mention the award-winning 'Grammar of Galo' by Mark W. Post. In this sense, I believe that NEILS, where various scholars get together, whether they are highly-accomplished senior scholars or students, provides an excellent forum for presenting the outcomes of linguistic endeavors by foreign and local scholars who work on North East Indian languages, and that it brings a good chemistry to the field. In past NEILS conferences, some Japanese scholars (myself included) participated as well. However, currently there is a relatively small population of Japanese scholars who work on North East Indian languages. Since the advent of Buddhism in Japan in the eighth century, Sanskrit has been the most studied Indian languages in Japan. In the context of Buddhism, Tibetan and Burmese are also actively studied in Japan. Alongside studies of these two languages, other Tibeto-Burman languages are studied as well, especially those spoken in China and Myanmar. However, there are not so many scholars who have been working on North East Indian languages. I was curious about scholars working on North East Indian languages in Japan, and so I checked out as many as I was able to. Therefore, in this Foreword, I would like to take the opportunity to introduce some of the research by Japanese scholars into North East Indian languages, as some of this work might otherwise escape the attention of western and Indian audiences
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
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
