I chose to look at the topic of word embeddings, as it was and still is a popular method for semantic analysis of texts.

After the difficulty I had with the Web of Science for the Citation Analysis Exercise, I was pleased that the first topic of interest I chose for the Network Analysis Exercise, “medievalism,” generated 482 results from the Web of Science. For this blog post, I will discuss two of the networks I created in VOSviewer […]
For this exercise I chose the topic “information literacy” which had over 3,000 hits in Web of Science. I was expecting there to be quite a few hits for this, so was pleased by the number. Looking through the list, the results were varied in terms of related topics and disciplines. Importing things into VosViewer […]
Reflection of Citation Exercise. I did the citation exercise for two authors, Kenneth Frampton and Keith Eggener. While the former is a well-known name in the academic conversation of modern architectural history, the latter is equally renowned yet many of his work are published only in architectural magazines. Following are my reports on both authors: […]

I chose to look at citations of Boris Eikhenbaum’s “How Gogol’s Overcoat Was Made,” as it is used in many courses and articles to talk about Gogol’s narrative technique of skaz, from the Russian verb skazat’ (to tell), which aims to form a written language that mirrors oral storytelling. Because the work was originally written in […]

As a teenager, […]
