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
Il code mixing come marcatore della struttura informativa e testuale dell’enunciato
No full textIl presente contributo intende osservare l'emersione di schemi ricorrenti nei fenomeni di enunciazione mistilingue. In particolare, l'analisi si concentrerà sulle funzioni svolte dall'uso combinato dei codici in contatto in relazione alla struttura informativa dell'enunciato e allo sviluppo tematico nell'interazione. La presenza di schemi ricorrenti, non marcati a livello conversazionale nel parlato bilingue, è ritenuta indicativa dell'emersione di una strategia produttiva nella comunità bilingue per marcare e definire la struttura dell'enunciato sia in termini testuali che interazionali. Questa ipotesi sarà testata su due corpora di parlato bilingue raccolti in due contesti minoritari differenti: il corpus Siarad, relativo al contatto inglese-gallese in Galles, e il corpus Kontatto, riguardante il contatto italiano-tedesco in Alto Adige.The paper aims to observe the emergence of recurrent patterns in code mixing phenomena. In particular, the analysis will focus on the functions accomplished by the combined use of the languages in contact in relation to the information structure of the utterance and the textual progression in the interaction. The presence of recurrent patterns, not conversationally marked in bilingual speech, is deemed to be an evidence of a productive mechanism used within a bilingual community to manipulate and define the utterance structure as well as textual and/or interactional progression. This assumption will be tested on two bilingual speech corpora concerning two different minority language situations: Welsh-English contact in Wales (with the Siarad corpus) and German-Italian contact in South Tyrol (with corpus Kontatto)
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
Vincoli strutturali all'enunciazione mistilingue. Dati dal corpus Kontatto
No full textIl contributo propone un’analisi quantitativa sul code mixing di tipo insertivo e sui suoi vincoli strutturali, in particolare osservando casi di insertion di elementislessicali isolati in enunciati mistilingui presenti nel corpus Kontatto, unscorpus di parlato bilingue raccolto in Alto Adige. Lo studio intende sottolinearesla rilevanza, accanto a criteri puramente formali, degli aspetti distribuzionali esfunzionali dello specifico materiale linguistico coinvolto nello switch.This study presents a quantitative analysis of insertional code mixing phenomena and their structural constraints, in particular with the observation of single-word insertionssin code-mixed utterances within the corpus Kontatto, a bilingual corpus collectedsin South Tyrol. The study aims to highlight the relevance of distributional andsfunctional aspects along with structural and formal criteria concerning the lexicalsitems and the different types of units and constituents involved in the switch
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
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
