Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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
Les marques de niveau de langue dans les dictionnaires modernes : analyse comparative entre le français, l'ukrainien et le russe
No full textInternational audienceThe practice of usage labels or language labels dates back to the first lexicographical studies in the early seventeenth century. Since then it has moved from value judgments to consolidated labels and, more recently, to symbols. Traditionally, non-standard units are labelled completely subjectively by the author or the authors of the dictionary. The current study examines more than thirty general dictionaries together with the dictionaries of non-standard language in three languages-French, Ukrainian and Russian-all published in the two-thousands. The lexicographical analysis comes with the registers' definitions listed in analysed dictionaries. It is also illustrated by five words belonging to different registers. Their labels have been extracted from several general dictionaries and firstly compared in the same language and after, between different languages. This research has highlighted the heterogeneity of concepts of low registers in the same language as well as the differences between the compared languages. The simplification of the labelling system in dictionaries, the language labels' homogenization as well as the development of a clear system of labels' allocation in dictionaries could simplify the understanding and the translation of the units for language specialists and for learners.La pratique des marques d'usage ou des marques de niveau de langue remonte aux premiers ouvrages lexicographiques au début du XVIIe siècle. Depuis, elle a évolué en passant d'abord par des jugements de valeur, par des marques codifiées, et plus récemment, par des symboles. Traditionnellement, les unités non-standard sont étiquetées d'une façon complètement subjective par le ou les auteurs du dictionnaire. L'étude actuelle passe en revue une trentaine de dictionnaires généraux et du langage non-standard dans les trois langues-français, ukrainien et russe - tous publiés dans les années 2000. L'analyse lexicographique est accompagnée par les définitions des registres répertoriés dans ces ouvrages. Elle est également illustrée par cinq mots appartenant à des registres différents et dont les étiquettes ont été extraites de quelques dictionnaires généraux et mises en comparaison au niveau d'une seule langue d'un côté et entre les différentes langues d'un autre. La présente recherche a permis de mettre en évidence l'hétérogénéité des notions de bas registres au sein de la même langue ainsi que les différences existant entre les langues comparées. Une simplification du système de marquage dans les dictionnaires, l'homogénéisation des étiquettes au niveau d'une langue ainsi que l'élaboration d'un système lisible de leur attribution dans les dictionnaires pourraient faciliter la compréhension et la traduction de ces unités tant par les spécialistes de langue que par les apprenants
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
