The use of new media technology among new media communication students in UniMAP
No full textThis paper will illustrate the use of new media technology among New Media Communication
Students in UniMAP, detailing in what purpose the technology is being used, and when. Other than
that, the devices preferred to be used will also be discussed. The purpose of use of new media
technology includes for research purposesincluding for completing assignments received, as well as
for general knowledge and leisure. Other purposes include social networking, entertainment, and
lastly, for their personal and family business purposes. All details relating to each purpose will be
discussed comprehensively in several sections
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
Full text linkWe 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
The prophet story courseware – Saya Sayang Rasul (SSR) / Nor Azila Awang Abu Bakar, Nur Mimi Adila Ismail and Nazatul Azleen Zainal Abidin
Full text linkThis paper aims to highlight the development of a multimedia courseware entitled Saya Sayang Rasul (SSR) to serve as a reference tool for level 2 Malaysian primary school students to learn about the Sirah topic in Pendidikan Islam subject. Currently, the textbook, reference books or notes taken from the Internet are the main sources of reference to study Sirah. Although there are many efforts in accompanying the text with attractive colourful pictures, interactive animations is said to capture the attention of the students more. The multimedia elements such as graphic, animation, text, audio and video are manipulated to present the information in a more interactive way so that the student get better understanding and help them to memorize the important information regarding the history of our beloved prophet. This courseware is developed based on ADDIE Model which comprises of Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation and Evaluation phases. Another two phases are added which are Preliminary Study and Documentation to complete the project. The evaluation of the Courseware was conducted on 30 respondents and to three experts. Questionnaire was used as an instrument to collect data. Results from the analysis indicate that the courseware had satisfied the respondents in terms of user interface (mean = 4.47), usability (mean = 4.53) and content (mean = 4.70) of the courseware. The dispersion of standard deviation is also small (< 1) for all categories thus implies there’s only insignificant difference in the respondents’ satisfactory level
