74. Jahrestagung der Paläontologischen Gesellschaft, Göttingen, 02. bis 08. Oktober 2004
No full textDer vorliegende Band enthält Beiträge zur 74. Jahrestagung der Paläontologischen Gesellschaft, die 2004 das vierte Mal in Göttingen tagte. Das Tagungsthema »Geobiologie« weist zum einen auf die Schlüsselstellung paläontologischer Forschungen in der Geo- und Biosphäre hin wie auch auf die enge Verfl echtung zwischen den einzelnen Disziplinen der Geo- und Biowissenschaften. Die »Geobiologie« als richtungsweisende und moderne Disziplin erfordert die interdisziplinäre Zusammenarbeit vieler Fachrichtungen. Die Tagungsbeiträge vermitteln einen Eindruck vom breitgefächerten Wesen sowie den Aufgaben geobiologischer und paläontologischer Forschung und Wissensvermittlung
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
Deutschförderung durch Fachverbände
No full textAssociations represent the interests of their members and formulate binding and longer-term goals and guidelines for this purpose. As non-profit organisations (NPOs), they do not make any economic profit, but rather use the incoming financial resources exclusively for the realisation of their association's goals. The objectives can be many and varied; in the case of the International German Teachers' Association, the first objective of the association is to spread the German language and culture worldwide within the framework of a meaningful multilingualism policy. Further objectives are to professionalise the association and raise awareness of an appropriate language policy, to network members in projects and to provide further training for German teachers
Förderung von DaF in Italien
Full text linkHier soll es nun darum gehen, im Zuge der weiter fortschreitenden Globalisierung
und den damit einhergehenden tiefgreifenden Veränderungen unserer
Lebenswelt, einige Anregungen und Ideen für die Unterrichtspraxis Deutsch als
Fremdsprache in Italien zu geben. Nicht unzeitgemäße Bildungsinhalte sollen reklamiert,
und konkrete, pragmatische und planbare Maßnahmen für die Förderung
des DaF-Unterrichts vorgeschlagen werden. Vorschläge, die über rein progressiv
angeordnete Grammatikkapitel, rezeptive und produktive Übungen,
Übungseinheiten zu Wortschatz und Leseverstehen bzw. zu schriftlichem und
mündlichem Ausdruck etc. hinausgehen und m. E. einen entscheidenden Beitrag
leisten können, um die Lerner auf ihre gesellschaftliche, berufliche und fremdsprachlich-
kommunikative Partizipation in der globalisierten Welt besser vorzubereiten
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

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
