    أول دراسة عربية حول القواعد الجديدة للفهرسة الوصفية والمعروفة بوصف المصادر وإتاحتها RDA، تتناول الدراسة تعريف التقنين الجديد وتعريف بعض المصطلحات المتعلقة به، وتقارن الدراسة بين للتقنين الجديد وقواعد الفهرسة الأنجلو أمريكية من حيث جهة الاصدار ونقاط الاتاحة، والبناء والتكون، كما تقدم الدراسة نماذج عملية لتسجيلات ببليوجرافية وفقا للقواعد الجديدة.The first Arab study on the new rules for descriptive cataloging, known as Source Description and Accessibility (RDA). The study deals with the definition of the new codification and the definition of some terms related to it. The study compares the new codification and the Anglo-American cataloging rules in terms of issue, points of availability, construction and composition. The study also provides practical models for records. Bibliography according to the new rules

    Functional requirements for authority data: a new vision for authority files in the digital environment

    يهتم "العمل الاستنادي "Authority work" بصفة عامة بتحديد شكل اسم، أو عنوان، أو عنوان سلسلة أو موضوع سيستخدم كرأس مقنن، كما يشتمل العمل الاستنادي أيضا على إنشاء الإحالات المناسبة للرأس وعلاقته بالرؤوس الأخرى في الملف الاستنادي. وتتركز الجهود الحديثة في مجال "الضبط الاستنادي: "Authority Control"، الذي يهدف إلى تحقيق الثبات والاتساق في شكل الرؤوس المستخدمة في فهرس المكتبة أو في ملف التسجيلات الببليوجرافية، على تحقيق الاستخدام والمشاركة في البيانات الاستنادية على المستوى الدولي بما يحققه ذلك من فوائد تتمثل في تخفيف العبء، وخفض التكاليف، وتحقيق دقة أفضل عند البحث والاسترجاع. وتحقيقا لهذه الأغراض، قام الاتحاد الدولي لجمعيات المكتبات ومؤسساتها، إفلا International Federation of Library Association and Institution; IFLA الذي سيشار إليه فيما بعد بـ(إفلا: IFLA) باعتباره من أكثر الهيئات الدولية المعنية بموضوع الفهرسة بصفة عامة، والضبط الببليوجرافي بصفة خاصة، بإنشاء جماعات عمل للتسجيلات الببليوجرافية، والبيانات الاستنادية للأسماء، والبيانات الاستنادية للموضوعات تكون مهمتها الأساسية إعداد نماذج مفاهيمية تحدد المتطلبات الوظيفية للتسجيلات الببليوجرافية والاستنادية[1], إلى جانب تولى مهمة مراجعة هذه النماذج وتحديثها وصيانتها، وإعداد الموجزات الإرشادية، والأدلة التفسيرية التي تساعد في تطبيق هذه النماذج وتشجيع استخدامها. وسيتم في الفقرات التالية، تناول جماعة العمل الخاصة بالمتطلبات الوظيفية للبيانات الاستنادية، وأهداف إصدار نموذج (م و ب ا: FRAD)، ومكوناته، والمهام التي يحققها المستفيد من خلاله.  “Authority work” is generally concerned with determining the form of a name, title, or title of a series or topic that will be used as a codified header. Authority work also includes creating appropriate references to the header and its relationship to other headers in the authority file. Recent efforts in the field of “Authority Control”, which aims to achieve stability and consistency in the form of the headers used in the library index or in the bibliographic record file, are focused on achieving use and sharing of authority data at the international level, with the benefits that this achieves in the form of: Reduce burden, reduce costs, and achieve better search and retrieval accuracy. To achieve these purposes, the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions, the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions, established IFLA, which will be referred to hereafter as (IFLA): is one of the international bodies most concerned with the subject of indexing in general, and bibliographic control in particular, by establishing working groups for bibliographic records, authority data for names, and authority data for subjects, whose primary mission is to prepare conceptual models that define functional requirements. For bibliographic and authority records [1], in addition to undertaking the task of reviewing, updating and maintaining these models, and preparing indicative summaries and interpretive guides that help in applying these models and encouraging their use. In the following paragraphs, the working group will address the functional requirements for authority data, the objectives of issuing the (FRAD) model, its components, and the tasks that the beneficiary achieves through it

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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 PDF
    We 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 PDF
    We 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 text
    We 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
