Philipp Sebastian Angermeyer: Speak English or What? Codeswitching and interpreter use in New York City courts
No full textSpeak English or What? is based on Philipp Sebastian Angermeyer's doctoral research, focusing on interpreter-mediated hearings in three small claims courts in New York City. Covering everything from theories of legal consciousness, through narrative construction and bilingual practices, to language ideology, Angermeyer insightfully explores how speakers of languages other than English(LOTE) participate in this informal legal setting, asking whether they have equal access to justice
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
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
Effects of Charging Strategies and Policies on Electric Vehicles and Infrastructure From a Microscopic Perspective
Full text linkThe growing number of battery electric vehicles (BEV) implies changes in urban infrastructure. Large amounts of charging stations are to be built within few years to supply energy for a mostly electric vehicle fleet. In parallel the power grid has to be adapted to the growing energy demand. However charging behaviour depends on mobility patterns and which type of charging stations can be accessed. For example, charging at work is mostly restricted to employees and happens during working hours. Public charging stations cater any BEV user but take precious public space. In this work several charging station configurations for a city are studied on a microscopic level together with different BEV shares and charging strategies and policies. 24 hour working day SUMO microscopic traffic demand travels along trip chains and charges their electric vehicle battery when needed. Parking and charging infrastructure is limited to reasonable capacity for a medium sized German city. Then the configurations are evaluated with respect to charging station usage and the expected energy demand/supply of BEV for balanced and time-shift charging strategies as well as vehicle-to-home/vehicle-to-grid policies. Applying these strategies and policies on a large scale can lower the energy peak demand visibly
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
