    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

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    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

    Mining e-mail content for author identification forensics

    No full text
    We describe an investigation into e-mail content mining for author identification, or authorship attribution, for the purpose of forensic investigation. We focus our discussion on the ability to discriminate between authors for the case of both aggregated e-mail topics as well as across different email topics. An extended set of e-mail document features including structural characteristics and linguistic patterns were derived and, together with a Support Vector Machine learning algorithm, were used for mining the e-mail content. Experiments using a number of e-mail documents generated by different authors on a set of topics gave promising results for both aggregated and multi-topic author categorisation

    Soyadı: Vugar Samadov lahiyat Hadis Prof. Dr. Nebi Bozkurt Tez Türü ve Tarihi: Yüksek Lisans-Ağustos 2004 Peygamber, Bedevi, HadisHADİS KAYNAKLARINA GÖRE HZ. PEYGAMBER'İN BEDEVÎLERLE İLİŞKİLERİ Hz. Peygamber döneminde Arabistan'da temel iki sosyal yapı; yerleşik hayat süren şehirliler, göçebe hayat süren bedevîler vardır. O dönemde Mekke ve Medine dışında yaşayanlara bedevî deniyordu. Bu itibarla Hz. Peygamber'i kuşatan çevrenin önemli bir kısmını bedeviler oluşturmaktaydı. Bu insanlar daha ziyade katı ve kaba bir mizaca sahip idiler. Dolayısıyla Rasûlullah (s.a.v.) bunlara şehirlilerden farklı bir üslup kullanmıştır. Tezimizde söz konusu üslubu tespit edip ortaya koymaya gayret ettik.. Çalışmamız bir giriş, üç bölüm ve metin kısmından oluşmaktadır. Giriş bölümünde konu, metot ve kaynak tanıtımına yer verilerek bedevî kavramı üzerinde durulmaktadır. Birinci bölümde, bedevîlerin olumlu, olumsuz ve yeteneğe dayalı vasıfları ele alınmaktadır. İkinci bölümde bedevîlerin iktisâdî ve sosyal hayatları incelenmektedir. Üçüncü bölümde ise Hz. Peygamber'in bedevîlerle ilişkileri üç ana başlık altında ele alınmıştır. Birinci başlıkta bedevîlerin Hz. Peygamber'e soruları ve Hz. Peygamber'in onlara verdiği cevaplar, ikinci başlık altında bedevîlerin yaptıkları kabalıklara, yanlışlıklara karşı Hz. Peygamber'in tutumunu, üçüncü başlıkta Hz. Peygamber'in bedevîlerin kalplerini İslâma alıştırmak için kullandığı metotlar tetkik ve tespit edilmiştir Metinler kısmında Hz. Peygamber'in bedevîlerle ilişkisiyle ilgili rivayetlere yer verilmiştir.

    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
