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
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
Das russische Ukrainebild im Wandel: Korpusbasierte diskursanalytische Untersuchung des sprachlich konstruierten Ukrainebildes in der Presseberichterstattung der Russischen Föderation 2010 bis 2014
Full text linkMit dem Euromaidan 2013/2014 und der darauffolgenden Krimkrise gerieten die russisch-ukrainischen Beziehungen in den Fokus der Weltöffentlichkeit. Kaum ein anderes Thema hat insbesondere die europäische Öffentlichkeit in den letzten Jahren so polarisiert wie dieser Konflikt, der die wechselseitige Wahrnehmung Russlands und der Ukraine auf lange Zeit prägen bzw. belasten wird. Dafür spricht auch der vorläufige Höhepunkt dieses Konflikts, die seit 2021 erfolgende massive Stationierungen russischer Truppen an der ukrainischen Grenze, die einen Krieg zwischen den einstigen selbsterklärten Brudervölkern plötzlich real erscheinen lässt.
Gegenstand dieser linguistischen Untersuchung ist damit ein hochaktuelles und relevantes, aber auch stark polarisierendes Thema: Das Ukrainebild in der russischen Presseberichterstattung kurz vor und während des Ukrainekonflikts 2013/2014. Ziel ist die Identifizierung und Beschreibung der sprachlichen Realisierungen, die konstitutiv für das Ukrainebild im russischen Pressediskurs sind. Durch einen diachronen Vergleich von drei Untersuchungszeiträumen (1. Beginn der Präsidentschaft Janukovyčs 2010, 2. Euromaidan 2013/2014, 3. Krimkrise 2014) werden die Dynamiken der Fremd- und Feindbildkonstruktion vor und während des Ukrainekonflikts herausgearbeitet. Die Studie widmet sich nicht nur den für das russische Ukrainebild spezifischen sprachlichen Mustern der Fremdbildkonstruktion, sondern fragt auch, inwieweit der Konfliktverlauf Einfluss auf die Realisierungen des Ukrainebildes hat. Damit liefert die Arbeit einen wichtigen Beitrag mit Blick auf das Desiderat linguistischer Untersuchungen des russischen Ukrainebildes in einer Konfliktsituation. Untersuchungsgrundlage bildet ein umfangreiches Textkorpus mit insgesamt 2.017.381 Tokens, das auf Grundlage von 2.234 Presseartikeln aus sechs ausgewählten russischen Tageszeitungen erstellt wurde.
Der Fokus der korpusbasierten linguistischen Diskursanalyse liegt auf der Untersuchung zentraler Nominationseinheiten und Metaphern sowie mit diesen in Verbindung stehender sprachlicher Phänomene. Die Untersuchung zeigt anhand der Textkorpora sowohl auf inhaltlicher als auch auf sprachlicher Ebene mit Konfliktbeginn eine deutliche Veränderung des ukrainischen Fremd- und die Konstruktion eines ukrainischen Feindbildes.The Euromaidan in 2013/2014 and the subsequent Crimean crisis brought Russian-Ukrainian relations into the focus of the global attention. Hardly any other topic has polarized the European public in recent years as much as this conflict, which will shape and burden the mutual perception of Russia and Ukraine for a long time to come. This view is confirmed by the preliminary climax of this conflict. The massive deployment of Russian troops on the Ukrainian border since 2021 makes a war between the former self-declared brother nations suddenly seem real.
The subject of this linguistic study is thus a highly topical and relevant, but also highly polarizing issue: the image of Ukraine in Russian press coverage shortly before and during the Ukrainian conflict in 2013/2014. The study aims to identify and describe fundamental realizations that are constitutive of the image of Ukraine in Russian press discourse. In particular, the dynamics of the ongoing construction of a hostile Ukrainian image before and during the Russian-Ukrainian conflict is explored by way of a diachronic comparison of three periods (the beginning of Yanukovyč's presidency in 2010, the Euromaidan in 2013/2014 and the Crimean crisis in 2014). But this study seeks not only to shed light on the ways in which the image of the enemy was constructed by the Russian press, it also raises the question of the extent to which the course of the conflict came to influence the representation of the Russian image of Ukraine. Drawing on discourse analysis, the thesis makes an important contribution to an under-researched field of study and provides a linguistic investigation of the Russian image of Ukraine as an enemy in a situation of conflict. The study is based on a text corpus consisting of 2,017,381 tokens in total and made up of 2,234 articles from six selected Russian daily newspapers.
The focus of this corpus-based linguistic discourse analysis is on the investigation of central nominative units and metaphors as well as the linguistic phenomena related to them. By analyzing the above-mentioned text corpora, the study shows both on the level of content and language that the image of Ukraine in Russia changed significantly with the beginning of the conflict, giving rise to the construction of an increasingly hostile image of Ukraine
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
