You’re Collating Just Fine and Other Lies You’ve Been Telling Yourself

Although textual scholars agree that collation is a crucial component of the editing process, it often goes undefined and only briefly explained. This article defines the term, explains different kinds of collation, and explores some of its applications. We emphasize stemmatology and medieval textual traditions. By drawing from editorial examples and the theoretical frameworks of projects centred on works such as the Canterbury Tales, Troilus and Criseyde, Dante’s Commedia and the Greek New Testament, the article seeks to compare manual and computer-assisted approaches to collation methods. We delineate the scope of this activity and argue that computer-assisted collation minimizes the risk of missing out on relevant data. We examine the advantages of full-text collation over sample collation and conclude that no decisions about stemmatically significant variation can be made a priory and that variant distribution is the major factor weighing on significance.

The Automated Map. Public innovation for the generation of the National Topographic Map of Spain

Several reasons have prompted the National Geographic Institute of Spain (IGN-Spain) to implement an automatic process to generate the National Topographic Map 1:25,000 (MTN) instead trough the traditional manual way, pointing out the growing lack of human resources, in addition to the search for a quick response to the increasing demand of updated geoinformation by the society.This new automated process provides an annual production of all the map sheets composing the MTN25 (4.019 files), what is an unprecedented time record, so that the users can quickly both download them from the Download Centre Website and visualize the maps through the visualization web services WMS and WMTS. This methodology is also applied to the creation of sheets for printed publication, whose final output requires a simplified manual editing process.

The gender gap on the Spanish Wikipedia: Listening to the voices of women editors

Wikipedia is one of the most widely used information sources in the world. Although one of the guiding pillars of this digital platform is ensuring access to the diversity of human knowledge from a neutral point of view, there is a clear and persistent gender bias in terms of content about or written by women. Through semi-structured interviews with current and former women editors, our research offers a closer look at the different factors that influence editing practices on the Spanish Wikipedia: the educational and social contexts that prompt women to start or stop editing; their perceptions of the treatment of gender equality in the encyclopedia; and their feelings about taking part in the creation of content in an environment where they find themselves in a minority. Self-organized events known as edit-a-thons (in Spanish, Wikiquedadas), where women meet to discuss and share editing practices, have emerged as self-inclusion strategies to enable more women to enter, remain, and be recognized in this male-dominated editing environment. Smaller Wikipedia communities are also perceived as more inclusive environments. Lack of digital competences or difficulty using the platform do not appear to be aspects that negatively influence the participation of women in the editing process, though time spent on unpaid care work does seem to be a critical factor.

Peer review declaration

Reviews were conducted by expert referees to the professional and scientific standards expected of a proceedings journal published by IOP Publishing. • Type of peer review: A group of reviewers with good reputation of international publication were assigned to review the manuscripts of ICOSAE 2020 using Konfrenzi Automated Conference System. Prior to the review process, all the reviewers were briefed by Prof. Ade Gafar Abdullah on a virtual meeting regarding the reviewing process. As many as 10 reviewers were then eligible in which each was sent 7 – 10 papers through the submission system. They were given two weeks to finish their review process and given a certain amount of incentive once they finish their task. After the deadline, the reviewed manuscripts were sent to the participants (authors) using the system through their personal account. The authors were given two weeks to revise their manuscripts and send them back to the committee using their account. Papers whose revision was in accordance with the reviewers’ comments went into final editing process (paper template layout checking, proofreading, etc.) and those which need further revision went into the second round of review process. All the manuscripts and other required data were submitted to IOP after they passed final editing. • Conference submission management system: Konfrenzi Automated Conference System • Number of submissions received: 99 • Number of submissions sent for review: 98 • Number of submissions accepted: 81 • Acceptance Rate (Number of Submissions Accepted / Number of Submissions Received X 100): 81/99 x 100 = 81.8% • Average number of reviews per paper: 3 • Total number of reviewers involved: 10 • Any additional info on review process: • Name and affiliation of the contact Ade Gafar Abdullah PT Rumah Publikasi Indonesia Jl.

Language Errors in Editing a Manuscript in Indonesian Language

Editing is the process of correcting language expressions in a manuscript before it is published. Editing can change a word, phrase, clause, or sentence into the same sentence unit or another. Even editing can also change sentences into paragraphs or vice versa. The most important thing in editing is correcting language errors to become appropriate and standard language expressions. Meanwhile, before it became a published book, the manuscript went through a reasonably strict editing process, both in language and content. This study looks at the changes from a book manuscript to a manuscript ready to be published. Many changes have occurred to correct language errors caused by writing due to typos, misunderstandings, or false disclosures, causing non-standard or incomprehensible. This analysis uses the theory of Dulay (1982), which states that language errors can be categorized into errors due to omission, addition, misinformation, and misordering. However, other errors were also quite influential in writing, namely, typing errors (typo). The present study found that the most common type of error was the addition, followed by misinformation, typo, misordering and the least was omission. A typo error is a common error that may occur when typing in Indonesian because until now. There is no spelling check application on a computer written in Indonesian.

Logical Fallacy Argumentation on Testimonials on Homeshopping Television Show

The decision to purchase a product is inseparable from the buyer's trust in a product. Testimonials are a tool for marketers to eliminate consumer barriers about the product to be purchased. Testimonials on home shopping television products tend to be controllable. The selection of sources, the use of scripts, and the editing process can be a form of media control over the information received by the public. This study focus on analyzing testimonials from the logical side of the testimony content. The method used to analyze this logical fallacy is qualitative content analysis. The text is separated using Toulmin's model into three parts, namely claim, ground, and warrant. This research uses a logical fallacy as a tool to evaluate the logic of the testimony in terms of content. The results of this study found that there was a logical fallacy in the testimony content. The fallacies include generalization fallacy, fallacy fallacies, fallacy of composition, appeal to wealth fallacy, appeal to pity, dan appeal to force.

Participatory video from a distance: co-producing knowledge during the COVID-19 pandemic using smartphones

In this paper, I outline an innovative remote participatory video (PV) methodology that makes use of participants’ smartphones. It was developed as an alternative to co-production research and can be employed when face-to-face contact is impossible or undesirable. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, face-to-face research interactions have been disrupted or become impossible. Yet it is vital to reach those who are most affected by emergencies and to include their voices. The research reported here was a collaboration between women in Medellín, Colombia, and a team of filmmakers and researchers. We developed an innovative remote PV methodology using participants’ smartphones, researching how women from poorer neighbourhoods were affected by the pandemic in their everyday lives. Here, I reflect on the strengths and weaknesses of the remote PV methodology, arguing that it offers new avenues for participants to take control of the filming and editing process, and builds technical skills and capacities that have value beyond the timeframe of the project. I conclude that the remote PV method has great potential as a stand-alone method, moving the landscape of co-production research away from a requirement for geographical co-presence and potentially shifting power and ownership towards local co-researchers and participants.

Design of time-delayed safety switches for CRISPR gene therapy

CRISPR system is a powerful gene editing tool which has already been reported to address a variety of gene relevant diseases in different cell lines. However, off-target effect and immune response caused by Cas9 remain two fundamental problems. Inspired by previously reported Cas9 self-elimination systems, time-delayed safety switches are designed in this work. Firstly, ultrasensitive relationship is constructed between Cas9-sgRNA (enzyme) and Cas9 plasmids (substrate), which generates the artificial time delay. Then intrinsic time delay in biomolecular activities is revealed by data fitting and utilized in constructing safety switches. The time-delayed safety switches function by separating the gene editing process and self-elimination process, and the tunable delay time may ensure a good balance between gene editing efficiency and side effect minimization. By addressing gene therapy efficiency, off-target effect, immune response and drug accumulation, we hope our safety switches may offer inspiration in realizing safe and efficient gene therapy in humans.
