The access of information in foreign languages on Swedish authorities websites and it’s locations : the importance of information for a good integration
No full textWe live in a so called society of information, the spirit of the time is that everybody should be able assimilating information about almost everything and everybody. In this report it has been examined how availability of information on different languages is on the websites of some of the Swedish authorities that persons of different reasons need to have knowledge of and how the information is to be found. It turned out that the number of languages that the authorities choose to have information in differs between the authorities websites and that there is no common approach. Some of the websites of the authorities only have English in addition to Swedish and more are on the way to going in that direction and thus removing information in other languages. It’s reasoned that technical tools that translate text is used in a larger extent and that it is then an advantage if information is available in English as the majority of such tools are considered better at handling English than other languages. By then persons themselves can get the text translated to their own preferred language. Other authorities try to have information in as many as possible of the languages they believe are most used in Sweden. The study also shows that the language choices on some of the authority websites are placed in a way that makes them difficult to find and this can then result in that the information is not being accessed by those who are concerned and need the information.The authorities have different thoughts about which languages they should inform in, above all there are different views on whether information in the national minority languages must be available or not, so there is uncertainty about current legal requirements.The purpose of the report is to illustrate the difference in how authorities work with the availability of information in other languages on their websites. The report can be helpful for starting work at a central level to develop a common policy for how and whether authorities should provide information in other languages on their websites. Everything to make it easier for those who need the information and that all the work to produce the information in other languages really comes to use.Vi lever i något som allmänt kallas för informationssamhället, det är tidens anda att alla ska kunna tillgodogöra sig information om nästan allt och alla. I den här rapporten har det undersökts hur tillgängligheten av information på olika språk är på webbsidor som hör till myndigheter som privatpersoner av olika skäl kan behöva ha vetskap om samt hur den informationen hittas.Det visade sig att antalet språk som myndigheter väljer att ha information på skiljer sig mellan myndigheter och att inget gemensamt synsätt finns. En del myndigheter har endast information på engelska på sina webbsidor utöver svenska och fler är på väg till att gå åt det hållet och alltså ta bort information på andra språk. Det resoneras att tekniska hjälpmedel som översätter text kommer att användas i allt större omfattning och att det då är en fördel om information finns på engelska då flertalet av sådana verktyg anses bättre på att hantera engelska. Andra myndigheter försöker hålla information på så många som möjligt av de språk som man tror sig vara mest använda i Sverige. I studien framkommer dessutom att språkvalen på en del av webbsidorna är placerade på ett sätt som gör de svåra att hitta och det kan då resultera i att informationen inte nås av de som berörs och behöver informationen.Myndigheterna har olika tro kring vilka språk de ska ha information på framförallt är det olika syn på om information på de nationella minoritetsspråken måste finnas eller inte, det finns alltså en osäkerhet kring gällande lagkrav.Syftet med rapporten är att belysa skillnaden i hur myndigheter arbetar med tillgången av information på andra språk på sina webbsidor. Rapporten kan ligga till hjälp för att på central nivå starta ett arbete med att få fram en gemensam policy för hur och om myndigheter ska informera på andra språk på sin webbsida.

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
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
