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
Translating humour : Daniel Glattauer's E-Mail Novel "Gut gegen Nordwind" in Italian translation
No full textDie vorliegende Arbeit befasst sich mit der Textanalyse von Daniel Glattauers E-Mail-Roman Gut gegen Nordwind (2006) und dessen italienischer Übersetzung Le ho mai raccontato del vento del Nord (2010). Der Fokus der Untersuchung lag auf der Übertragung von Humor als Kulturspezifikum, der als Hauptcharakteristikum des Ausgangstextes gilt. Die Ziele der Übersetzungskritik bestanden zum einen darin, die Kohärenzmerkmale im Ausgangs- und Zieltext auf sigmatischer, semantischer, pragmatischer und syntaktischer Ebene zu analysieren und festzustellen, ob in der Übersetzung eine ähnlich komische Wirkung wie im Original erzielt wurde. Zum anderen galt es zu untersuchen, mit welchen Übersetzungsstrategien das Komische als Kulturspezifikum in der italienischen Sprache bzw. Kultur wiedergegeben wurde und zu ergründen, ob diese im Zieltext kohärent eingesetzt wurden. Dabei wurde von der Hypothese ausgegangen, dass bestimmte, rekurrent auftretende Textmerkmale des Originals von der Übersetzerin Leonella Basiglini nicht kohärent in die Zielsprache übertragen wurden. Zur Überprüfung dieser These wurden spezifische ausgangssprachliche Charakteristika nach dem Rekurrenzprinzip sowie nach deren äußerst humorvollen Charakter selektiert und anhand Christiane Böhlers Kohärenz-Modells (2002) sowie anhand des CSI-Modells von Javier Franco Aixelá (1996) untersucht. Im Hinblick auf die Wiederherstellung der Kohärenzmerkmale sowie die Analyse der konsequenten Einsetzung der Übersetzungsstrategien stellte sich heraus, dass der Zieltext unter Berücksichtigung der sigmatischen und semantischen Dimension und ihrer Ebenen überwiegend nicht kohärent erscheint. Im Großteil der Fälle wurde die markante Iteration charakteristischer Textmerkmale mit verschiedenen Übersetzungsvarianten bzw. -strategien wiedergegeben. Dadurch wird der vom Autor erzielte ironische Effekt ausgeblendet oder abgeschwächt. Im Lichte dieser Ausführungen konnte die zu Beginn der Arbeit postulierte Hypothese bestätigt werden.This thesis deals with the textual analysis of Daniel Glattauer?s email novel Gut gegen Nordwind (2006) and its Italian translation Le ho mai raccontato del vento del Nord (2010). The focus of the study was to examine the transfer of humour as a culture-specific element, which represents the main characteristic of the source text. On the one hand the translation critique aimed at analyzing the coherence features of the source and target texts on a sigmatic, semantic, pragmatic and syntactic level, as well as assessing whether a comic effect similar to the original text is present in the Italian translation. On the other hand the critique investigated which translation strategies were used to transfer the comic, seen as a culture-specific element, into the Italian language and culture, and discussed whether these strategies were used in a coherent way throughout the target text. The research was carried out in order to test the hypothesis that specific recurrent textual elements of the original text were not translated coherently into Italian by the translator Leonella Basiglini. To prove this hypothesis, specific characteristic elements of the source text were selected according to the recurrence principle, as well as their level of humour, and analyzed in accordance with the coherence model of Christiane Böhler (2002) and the Culture-specific Items model of Javier Franco Aixelá (1996). As for the reproduction of the coherence features and the consequent use of translation strategies, the research showed that the target text is not coherent in regards to the sigmatic and semantic dimensions. In the majority of cases the striking iteration of textual features was reproduced using different translation variants and strategies. Therefore, the ironic effect achieved by the author was weakened or less noticeable. In light of the aforementioned arguments, the hypothesis postulated above was confirmed.vorgelegt von Giulia MesseriAbweichender Titel laut Übersetzung der Verfasserin/des VerfassersGraz, Univ., Masterarb., 2012Zsfassung in dt. und engl.

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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
