    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

    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

    This study aims to obtain an overview of the social studies learning plan using the inquiry model in solving problems in class VI, also to find out student activities through inquiry models in solving problems in class VI, and to determine student learning outcomes through inquiry models in solving problems in class. VI. This research uses descriptive qualitative. Data was collected through interviews, observation and documentation. This study uses data analysis techniques, which consist of the stages of data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results showed that the application of the inquiry model in the social studies learning process was reflected in the teacher's ability to arrange and design social studies learning activities to be carried out effectively and efficiently, so that students in the learning process were active creatively and thought critically and were able to solve problems. Internal barriers to the application of the inquiry model in social studies subjects, the readiness of teachers and students is not optimal, the self-confidence of students is also not ready, and sometimes the teacher does not believe in the potential of students so that the position of students in the learning process is still an object, not a subject, besides the teacher and students are not used to implementing the inkuri learning model. The barrier also seen from the external factor is the learning environment. facilitation of teaching and learning activities, inadequate school environment, incomplete learning tools, incomplete learning resources and incomplete facilities

    Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis capaian Profil Pelajar Pancasila dalam implementasi Kurikulum Merdeka pada siswa sekolah dasar. Profil Pelajar Pancasila yang mencakup enam dimensi—beriman dan bertakwa kepada Tuhan Yang Maha Esa serta berakhlak mulia, berkebinekaan global, gotong royong, mandiri, bernalar kritis, dan kreatif—menjadi tolok ukur utama pembentukan karakter peserta didik di abad ke-21. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah kuantitatif dengan pendekatan survei, melibatkan 1.007 siswa kelas IV dari lima sekolah dasar. Instrumen penelitian berupa angket skala Likert yang telah diuji validitas dan reliabilitasnya, dengan data dianalisis secara deskriptif kuantitatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dimensi religius, akhlak mulia, kebinekaan global, dan gotong royong memperoleh skor rata-rata sangat tinggi (kategori selalu), yang menandakan internalisasi nilai karakter tersebut telah berlangsung efektif dalam kehidupan sehari-hari siswa. Dimensi kemandirian juga berada pada kategori tinggi, meskipun aspek pengelolaan waktu masih memerlukan perhatian lebih lanjut. Sementara itu, dimensi bernalar kritis dan kreatif berada pada kategori sering, yang menunjukkan bahwa siswa memiliki kecenderungan untuk berpikir analitis dan menghasilkan ide baru, tetapi belum konsisten menerapkannya. Faktor yang memengaruhi capaian tersebut antara lain kebijakan Kurikulum Merdeka yang fleksibel, komitmen guru, kesadaran masyarakat terhadap nilai Pancasila, dukungan pemerintah, serta pelatihan dan pendampingan guru. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa Kurikulum Merdeka mampu memperkuat karakter dasar siswa, tetapi masih perlu intervensi pedagogis yang lebih inovatif untuk meningkatkan keterampilan berpikir kritis dan kreativitas. Temuan ini memberikan implikasi penting bagi sekolah dan guru untuk memperkaya pembelajaran berbasis proyek, asesmen formatif, serta lingkungan belajar yang mendukung pengembangan karakter secara menyeluruh

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    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

    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
