    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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 link
    We 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

      Mirza Dagh Dehlvi enjoys a unique place in Urdu literature. The message of universalism in his poetry combined with his philosophical approach grant him a stature that has yet to be achieved by any other Urdu poet. In this article, an effort is being made to give an overview of Dagh poetry, examining it by different yardsticks. The purpose is to highlight the salient characteristics of his personality as well as those of his poetry. The dominant characteristic of his poetry is his logical style of narration. His poetry contains unparalleled pieces of imagination. The use of words shows a great command of language. It is hard to decide whether Mirza Dagh became great for writing his ghazals or if Urdu ghazals were honoured to have a poet like him. There is no doubt that he is the brightest moon in the galaxy of classical Urdu ghazals.

    The process of making this collective situation of human life memorable by giving it creative colours in the arts is still going on. The peculiarity of poets is that they give the most modern meaning to the ancient ideas of centuries-old man and fill them with beauty and attractiveness in such a way that even though they are all lies, there is no choice but to accept the absolute truth. Talmih is a form of ilm e badih that has the ability to modernize centuries-old events, situations, and conditions and give them a unique sense of meaning. Through allusions, there is the ability to connect stories from the trivial to the trivial and from the important to the indispensable to the present, which classical poets have taken full advantage of. From Vali Decani to Ghalib, the trend of using Persian literature in classical ghazals seems to be equal. An allusion is a combination of one or more words that describes an incident, sign, accident, symbol, story, parable, anecdote, or anecdote related to a particular situation. With the help of this word, a lengthy discussion is shortened into a summary, as if it were wrapped up like a pitcher in a river. In this paper, the references from Persian literature in Urdu ghazals have been reviewed very briefly, which reveals how the Urdu poets have adapted Persian references to Urdu ghazals

    Mirza Ghalib is a great poet. Ghalib handles all the technical elements of narration and innovation in his speech with perfect artistry and skill. Ghalib's interest in the matter of the proverbial industry has received special attention. This paper contains a linguistic analysis of Mirza Ghalib's idiomatic grasp. In this paper, the various uses of idioms in Mirza Ghalib's speech have been highlighted, and by analysing these idioms linguistically, it has been tried to clarify that the use of idioms in the tradition of classical ghazal is very healthy and balanced. The system of idioms in Ghalib's speech has been seen from a linguistic point of view. Also, a glossary of idioms used in Ghalib's Diwan and idioms devised by Ghalib has been arranged, which is a new addition to the art of idioms

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    Full text link
    We 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

    We 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
