No full textGood Words Hurt Too: The Cyberdiscourse Against Same-Sex Marriage in Taiwan
No full text網際網路的匿名性與方便近用性改變了人們傳播理念的方式，也讓網路上的歧視、偏頗言論充斥於新聞留言版、特定立場網站、論壇等。二十世紀末至本世紀初諸多相關研究探討、反思網際網路對公共議題溝通論辨之影響，指出其確實造成受到歧視群體之心理甚或身體傷害，此一現象亦隨而引發公眾注意及政府立法規範等考量。本研究聚焦於近年來掀起台灣各方激烈辯論之同性婚姻議題，以2014年相關網站文章、立法院公聽會紀錄網路版及網路新聞留言為對象，分析反對同性婚姻論述傳遞之意識型態與其所用之溝通策略，發現這些台灣當代網路論述與外國英語仇恨網站論述相當類似，除翻譯或挪用後者內容、策略外，難見本地獨特之論點及溝通模式，即使前者強調之我國國情主張，亦近似他國諸多明藉傳統文化為由，反對現代民主社會中平等人權之運動訴求，可能亦是網路無遠弗屆的跨國影響而形成全球公民社會之證。The anonymity and accessibility of the Internet has facilitated the way people promulgate ideas and beliefs and resulted in an unprecedented wave of biased and discriminatory speech in cyberspace. Its impact on policy issues and harm to disadvantaged groups has been widely explored since the end of the last century. This article analyzes cyberdiscourse attacking the same-sex marriage proposal in Taiwan in 2014 for its rhetorical strategies and imagined communal conceptions of marriage and homosexuals. The results show that although the anti-same-sex marriage discourse appeals to Chinese traditional values, it either appropriates the discursive strategies or translates the content and concepts from foreign hate group sites. This lack of local particularity illustrates the delocalizing effect of the Internet on today’s domestic anti-same-sex marriage campaigns and the ways they are heavily powered by transnational information flows via cyberspace
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
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
