Plural tuna-names in Norway
No full textThis paper investigates the settlements with plural tuna-names in Norway, with the objective to investigate if they, as their East Scandinavian counterparts, show indications of centrality during the Scandinavian Iron Age. Of seven studied names, only Tune in Østfold with certainty displays such properties. It is argued that this name is an expression of a Scandinavian ‘central place nomenclature’, common but with regional variations, reflecting a prestigious vocabulary connected with central places.publishedVersio
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
