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
Phraseological units in Polish translations of the modern French prose (based on selected examples)
No full textWydział Filologii Polskiej i Klasycznej: Instytut Filologii PolskiejCelem rozprawy doktorskiej było zbadanie funkcjonowania frazeologizmów (zarówno ich form kanonicznych, jak i innowacyjnych) we współczesnych tekstach prozatorskich będących tłumaczeniami z języka francuskiego na język polski. Kluczowym założeniem uczyniłam od początku wyeksponowanie figury tłumacza w procesie przekładu i przekonanie o twórczej (a nie odtwórczej) jego roli. W konsekwencji staje się on – używając określenia Anny Legeżyńskiej – „drugim autorem” tekstu. Za podstawę materiałową przeprowadzonych analiz posłużył zbiór cytatów poświadczających użycie frazeologizmów w tekstach docelowych w języku polskim wraz z ich wyjściowymi kontekstami w języku francuskim. Wszystkie wynotowane pary pochodzą z szesnastu dzieł literackich (są to powieści bądź eseje literackie wyróżnione Nagrodą Goncourtów). Zbiór ten opiewa na 3044 pary. Zasiliły one specjalnie skonstruowaną bazę, służącą skatalogowaniu cech i właściwości relacji przekładowych, w jakich pozostają zastosowane przez tłumaczy jednostki frazeologiczne z ich oryginalnym tłem językowym. Charakter tak ujętej zależności wyznaczył porządek badania i pozwolił na stworzenie klasyfikacji zgromadzonych przykładów.The aim of the dissertation was to investigate phraseological units (in their canonical and innovative forms) in contemporary prose texts that are Polish translations from the French language. The chief assumption of the work was to emphasise the person of the translator and his/her creational (not imitative) role. As a consequence, she/he becomes – as defined by Anna Legeżyńska – the “second author” of the text. The basic material for the analysis was a collection of quotations from books in which idioms were used: in Polish together with their initial contexts in French. All pairs – a total of 3,044 – were taken from sixteen literary works (novels or essays awarded the Goncourt Prize). Quotations were put in a database created particularly for the purpose of the research, where features and attributes of translational relations between French, original idioms and their Polish counterparts, were precisely catalogued. The character of such relations was then investigated, which allowed creating a detailed classification of the collected examples
Kilka uwag o słowie w tekstach Jana Pawła II
Full text linkThe Author analyses some various texts by John Paul II and shows how a word functions in them. The parts of this article are: The Word in paraphrases of God and Jesus Christ; The Word as the beginning and the threshold; What somebody’s word can do?; What is the word like?; Freedom of word (speech); Pope’s word in the metalinguistic constructions; Pope’s word in the phraseological constructions
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
Once again about dialectal base of Poznań's urban jargon
No full textThe author pays attention to a significant contribution of dialectal words to the Poznań’s lexical localisms. She reminds her conception – presented in the book The Types of the Lexical Localisms (Typy regionalizmów leksykalnych), ed. Adam Mickiewicz University Press 1991) – of distinction criteria which afford systematized description of these localisms. She analyses four types of localisms connected with dialectal words. The lexical material (303 words) is taken from Dictionary of Poznań’s Urban Jargon (Słownik gwary miejskiej Poznania) by M. Gruchmanowa i B. Walczak, ed. PWN 1999.Uniwersytet Adama Mickiewicza w Poznaniu8697
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
