Computer aided methods of text research in the Polish perspective
No full textW niniejszym artykule autor przedstawia stosowanie metod analizy przetwarzania języka naturalnego (NLP) w obszarze polskich badań. W analizie uwzględniono trzy pola badawcze: socjologiczne, politologiczne oraz literaturoznawcze. Omówione zostały prace takich badaczy, jak Marek Troszyński, Paweł Matuszewski oraz Maciej Eder. Efektem przeprowadzonej analizy było nakreślenie najważniejszych aspektów metodologicznych związanych z używaniem metody NLP: kontekstów, możliwości oraz zagrożeń. Finalnie wskazano dalsze perspektywy badawcze, w których stosowanie omawianych metod może przynieść potencjalnie pozytywne rezultaty.In the following paper author discuss the natural language processing method (NLP) usage in polish academic literature. In the analysis three fields were pointed out: sociology, political science and literature science. Three groups of texts were presented from Marek Troszyński, Paweł Matuszewski and Maciej Eder. As the result of the conducted analysis author emphasized the most important methodological aspects of NLP usage: contexts, opportunities and risks. Finally, author indicated areas for the further research where NLP would be beneficial method
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
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
Historical narratives in Web 2.0 - research problems, digital history methods and specificity of born digital sources
No full textWydział HistoriiNiniejsza dysertacja poświęcona jest powstawaniu, funkcjonowaniu i recepcji narracji historycznych w Web 2.0. Praca składa się z dwóch części. Pierwsza, zasadnicza, to synteza oraz krytyczna refleksja nad przeprowadzonymi do tej pory badaniami. Na drugą część, przygotowaną w formie aneksu, składa się siedemnaście artykułów i rozdziałów w monografiach autorskich oraz współautorskich, które omawiane i analizowane są w części zasadniczej pracy. Główny problem badawczy rozpatrywany był z trzech perspektyw: teorii i praktyki związanych z analizą narracji historycznych, przydatności metod historii cyfrowej, metodologicznej refleksji nad specyfiką źródeł born digital. Jako obszar empirii wybrane zostały następujące platformy Web 2.0: YouTube, Twitter oraz Facebook. Wynikiem pracy jest zaproponowanie nowej definicji narracji historycznej uwzględniającej treści powstałe oddolnie w oparciu o paradygmat Web 2.0. Definicja ta opiera się na rozumieniu narracji jako przejawu świadomości historycznej ufundowanej na elementach myślenia historycznego i ahistorycznego. W końcowej części pracy przedstawiono metodologiczny namysł nad źródłem cyfrowym. Może być ono traktowane jako efektywne źródło historyczne przy jednoczesnym zastrzeżeniu, iż w wielu aspektach wymyka się tradycyjnemu rozumieniu źródła i jego krytyce, przez co wymusza sięgnięcia po nowe metody badawcze związane z historią cyfrową.
The following thesis is focused on creation, functioning and reception of historical narratives in Web 2.0. It is divided into two parts. The first, core one, is a synthesis and a critical reflection on the research conducted so far. The second part, in a form of an annex, contains seventeen articles and book chapters, written by myself and co-authored, which are discussed and analysed in the first part. The main research problem was investigated from three perspectives: theory and practise of the analysis of historical narratives, usefulness of digital history methods, and finally methodological reflection on the specificity of born digital sources. The empirical base of the research was gathered from the following social media platforms: YouTube, Twitter and Facebook. As a result I propose a new definition of the historical narrative, which takes under consideration grassroots narratives created on the basis of Web 2.0 paradigm. The definition perceives narrative as an expression of historical consciousness, founded on the elements of historical and ahistorical thinking. In the last part, methodological reflection on digital source is presented. It can be treated as an effective historical source with the reservation that in many aspects it eludes traditional understanding of the historical source and source criticism, thus it is necessary to implement new methods of digital history.Część badań zawartych w pracy została sfinansowana przez Narodowe Centrum Nauki w ramach grantu OPUS-20 nr 2020/39/B/HS3/01237: ”Narracja historyczna w Web 2.0 jako element funkcjonowania tożsamości narodowych w Europie Środkowo-Wschodniej” pod kierownictwem dr hab. prof.

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
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
