No full textThis article titled “Poetry as an Act of History” is an Urdu translation of María Rosa Menocal’s essay, along with the translator’s notes.

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

No full textMuhammad Umer Memon argues that ambiguity and the elusive nature of meaning in texts are a challenge for any translator. Any given text, especially literary fiction can have more than one reading, inducing a different effect in different readers. Moreover, a translation is always meant for a specific society; its cultural peculiarities and nuances are for a particular period or age. Therefore translations of the same text are bound to vary. The translator’s own personality, experience and skill also matter. Punctuation in modern western fiction has demands of its own. The article studies a translator’s journey through such challenges
