Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
No full text“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
No full textWe 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
Covid-19 pandemi döneminde Yunanistan Batı Trakya Bölgesinde ilkokullarda online olarak yapılan İngilizce dersleri üzerine öğrenci ve veli görüşleri
No full textIn 2019 all the world suddenly faced the reality of a worldwide disease, Covid-19. Nearly all levels of educational institutions turned their formal education system into online education in order to take the necessary precautions to prevent the spread of the virus and to not interrupt the teaching and learning process. This study is focused on the online English language education of primary school students during the coronavirus pandemic whether their demographic background show differences on their perceptions. Furthermore, it has been investigated that having the necessary technology or experiencing difficulties while attending online lessons have affected their perceptions or not. A mixed method research was designed, quantitative data were obtained from the students with the ‘Secondary School Students' Distance Education Perceptions Scale’, and the thoughts of both students and parents were analyzed with qualitative research using structured interview questions. In the 20202021 academic year, 100 primary school students in the Western Thrace region of Greece responded to the scale, 53 of them answered the interview questions and the opinions of 38 parents were obtained through the structured interview questions designed for them. The findings of the scale revealed that all the participant students had the necessary technology to attend the online English lesson. However, the majority of the students sometimes experienced problems while attending the lessons online. In addition, based on the results of the study it was uncovered that the perception levels of the students decrease when their years of learning English increase. The results of the interview questions revealed that half of the students found easy to follow the online English lessons and half of them difficult. Most of them had a silent environment to attend the lessons and communicated easily with friends and teacher. The parents’ answers on the other hand showed that most of them were satisfied with the online English lessons conducted during the pandemic period.2019 yılında tüm dünya aniden dünya çapında yayılan Covid-19 virüsü gerçeğiyle karşı karşıya kalmıştır. Eğitim kurumlarının neredeyse tamamı, virüsün yayılmasını önlemek adına gerekli önlemleri almak ve eğitim-öğretim sürecini kesintiye uğratmamak için örgün eğitim sistemlerini çevrimiçi eğitime dönüştürmüştür. Bu çalışma da, koronavirüs pandemisi boyunca ilkokul öğrencilerinin demografik özelliklerinin online İngilizce eğitim süreciyle ilgili farklılık yaratıp yaratmadığına odaklanmıştır. Ayrıca gerekli teknolojiye sahip olmanın veya çevrimiçi derslere katılırken sorunlar yaşamanın algılarını etkileyip etkilemediği araştırılmıştır. Araştırmada karma yöntem kullanılarak “Ortaokul Öğrencilerinin Uzaktan Eğitim Algıları Ölçeği” ile öğrencilerden nicel veriler elde edilmiş ve yarı yapılandırılmış mülakat soruları kullanılarak hem öğrencilerin hem de velilerin nitel verileri analiz edilmiştir. 2020-2021 eğitim-öğretim yılında, Yunanistan Batı Trakya bölgesinde 100 ilkokul öğrencisi ölçeği yanıtlamış, içlerinden 50'si mülakat sorularına cevap vermiş ve 38 velinin görüşleri de onlar için hazırlanan mülakat sorularıyla elde edilmiştir. Ölçek aracılığıyla elde edilen bulgular, öğrencilerin tamamının çevrimiçi İngilizce dersine katılmak için gerekli teknolojiye sahip olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. Ancak öğrencilerin büyük bir çoğunluğu derslere katılırken zaman zaman problemler yaşamıştır. Ayrıca araştırma sonuçlarına göre öğrencilerin çevrimiçi dil eğitimine ilişkin algılarında cinsiyetlerinin herhangi bir etkisinin olmadığı ancak sınıf düzeylerinin ve çevrimiçi derslere katılırken sorun yaşamalarının algılarını etkilediği ortaya çıkmıştır. Öğrencilerin İngilizce öğrenme yılları arttıkça algı düzeylerinin düştüğü de ortaya çıkmıştır. Mülakat sorularından elde edilen sonuçlar, öğrencilerin yarısının çevrimiçi İngilizce derslerini takip etmeyi kolay, yarısının ise zor bulduğunu göstermiştir. Öğrencilerin çoğunun derslere katılmak için sessiz bir ortama sahip olduğu ve arkadaşları ve öğretmenleri ile kolayca iletişim kurdukları ortaya çıkmıştır. Velilerin yanıtları ise pandemi döneminde yapılan online İngilizce derslerinden çoğunun memnun olduğunu göstermiştir
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe 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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
