Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Adjektivische Paarformeln in italienischen und deutschen notariellen Immobilienkaufverträgen
No full textThis paper has mainly a phraseological, a sociolinguistic and a semantic dimension. The first dimension results from the object of the investigation: a corpus of a hundred Italian and a hundred German notarial real estate sales contracts, dating from 1860 to 1960. In this corpus, phraseological binomial word combinations consisting of qualifying adjectives are examined. The second dimension arises from the diversity of the adjectives used in Italian and German notarial binomials for the purpose of mutual strengthening, posing the question of the location of these adjectives within different varieties, but also involving the third dimension, that is the problem of finding a suitable model for the semantic analysis of notarial binomials composed by qualifying adjectives referring to different dimensions of variation. In the light of the results of the corpus analysis and of the differences between Italian and German, the study also identifies, as a by-product, a number of consequences at the translation level.Der vorliegende Beitrag hat v.a. eine phraseologische, eine varietätenlinguistische und eine semantische Dimension. Die erste Dimension wird durch den Gegenstand der Untersuchung bedingt: In einem Korpus von 100 italienischen und 100 deutschen notariellen Immobilienkaufverträgen aus dem Zeitraum von 1860 bis 1960 werden phraseologische Wortkombinationen vom Typ der Paarformel untersucht, deren Komponenten qualifizierende Adjektive sind. Die zweite Dimension ergibt sich aus der Unterschiedlichkeit der in Paarformeln auftretenden und in den notariellen Urkunden zum Zweck der wechselseitigen Verstärkung eingesetzten Adjektive, die die Frage nach der Verortung im Varietätenraum aufwirft, gleichzeitig aber auch die dritte Dimension berührt, das Problem nämlich, ein geeignetes Modell für die semantische Analyse der in notariellen Paarformeln auftretenden, unterschiedlichen Variationsdimensionen zuzuordnenden qualifizierenden Adjektive zu finden. Gleichsam als Nebenprodukt der Untersuchung werden, ausgehend von den Ergebnissen der Korpusanalyse und den Unterschieden zwischen dem Italienischen und dem Deutschen, auch einige Folgen für die Übersetzung aufgezeigt
Variations on the Author
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
Full text linkWe 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
Der Diskursmarker als Forschungsgegenstand an der Schnittstelle von kontrastiver Linguistik und Translationswissenschaft.
No full textIn Romance linguistics and in German-speaking translation studies oriented towards Romance linguistics, research on modal particles and connectors follows a
well-established tradition. The aim of this conceptual paper that highlights the interface of contrastive linguistics and translation studies is threefold: First, it acknowledges the tradition and delineates the variety of contrastive approaches to these linguistic phenomena subsumed under the notion of discourse markers. Second, it integrates a methodological approach originating from cross-linguistic research on pragmatic markers. Third, it suggests some epistemological and conceptual consequences for research at the interface of contrastive linguistics and translation studies. Thereby, it lays particular emphasis on differentiating distinct research aims, on taking into account the conditions for equivalence and on considering the role of context in relation to the function(s) of a discourse marker.In der romanistisch orientierten Übersetzungswissenschaft und in der romanischen und romanistischen Linguistik besteht eine über Jahrzehnte gewachsene
Tradition der sprachvergleichenden Forschungen zu Partikeln und Konnektoren. Der vorliegende konzeptuelle Beitrag fasst unter Würdigung der Tradition und Skizzierung unterschiedlicher Forschungsstränge die Forschungen an der Schnittstelle von kontrastiver Linguistik und Translationswissenschaft unter dem Begriff Diskursmarkerforschungen zusammen. Im Zuge dessen wird die Produktivität des empirischen kontrastiven Zugangs in der sprachvergleichenden linguistischen Diskursmarkerforschung in groben Zügen umrissen. Dabei wird auch die sog. cross-linguistische Forschung zu Diskursmarkern, welche methodologisch neues Terrain betritt, integriert. Mit Blick auf die betrachtete Schnittstelle klingt die Herkunft der Tradition im Sprach- und Übersetzungsvergleich dabei gleichwohl an. Auf dieser, les choses déjà dites (Ricoeur 1985, 321) und neuere, durch korpuslinguistische Methoden beförderte Forschungen gemeinsam in den Blick nehmenden, Grundlage werden theoretische Konsequenzen für die Diskursmarkerforschung an der Schnittstelle formuliert. Dabei werden insbesondere die Differenzierung von Erkenntnisinteressen, die Berücksichtigung der Bedingungen für Äquivalenz – das tertium comparationis – und die Rolle des Kontextes in Beziehung zur Funktion des Diskursmarkers hervorgehoben
