Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Manajemen Mutu Madrasah Aliyah Swasta di Pondok Pesantren (Studi kasus pada Madrasah Aliyah Al-Ikhlas Pemetung Basuki, Madrasah Aliyah Nurul Huda Sukaraja dan Madrasah Aliyah Sidogede di Kabupaten OKU Timur)
Get PDFPenelitian ini untuk mencari jawaban tentang perencanaan, pelaksanaan, evaluasi dan tindakan perbaikan mutu madrasah. Pendekatan penelitian yang dipilih adalah penelitian kualitatif dengan jenis studi kasus. Teknik pengumpulan data yang digunakan adalah observasi, dokumentasi dan wawancara. Teknik Analisa data yang digunakan adalah teknik analisa data kualitatif. Penelitian ini menghasilkan beberapa temuan yaitu; Pertama, Perencanaan mutu melibatkan pihak yayasan dan seluruh pengelola. Kedua, Pelaksanaan mutu direncanakan sebelumnya oleh masing-masing madrasah berbentuk isi kurikulum, berupa kurikulum 2013 dan KTSP. Ketiga, Pelaksanaan monitoring dan evaluasi mutu dilakukan secara internal dan eksternal. Keempat, Perbaikan mutu yang dilaksanakan olehi pengelola dan penyelenggara madrasah dalam hal ini pihak yayasan. Dari hasil identifikasi masalah tersebut kemudian dijadikan sebuah alur perbaikan yang nantinya dijadikan persiapan program untuk mewujudkan madrasah lebih bermutu di masa mendatang. Kelima, Manajemen mutu yang diterapkan memiliki beberapa kesamaan dan perbedaan. Kesamaannya memiliki kesepakatan bersama untuk senantiasa melakukan pengembangan manajemen mutu untuk menjadi lebih baik. Perbedaan pada standar mutu yang digunakan sesuai dengan rujukan masing-masing yang dipakai berdasarkan latar belakang pendidikan para pengasuh lembaga Pendidika
OPTIMIZATION OF SAMA', BASHOR, AND AF'IDAH IN LEARNING THE SUBJECTS OF MORAL CREED IN MADRASAH IBTIDA'IYAH QODRATULLAH
No full textIslamic education is vital in determining and producing quality for the next generations; so far, Muslims have adopted more Western educational concepts. However, if Muslims examine more deeply, many Islamic concepts in the Qur'an that teach educational methods are more relevant to Muslims. This study will examine the "Optimization of same, Bashor, and af'idah in learning the subjects of moral creed in Madrasah Ibtida'iyah Qodratullah." This research uses qualitative methods, namely by prioritizing the results of observations and interviews. The results showed that Madrasah Ibtida'iyah Qodratullah teachers using the same concepts, Bashor and af'idah, with a combined approach or adjustment of auditorial, visual, and analytical methods in teaching moral creed subjects could provide a holistic and adaptive approach. By combining all three methods, teachers can create a rich and supportive learning environment, allowing students to understand religious values better. This holistic approach considers the diversity of student learning styles and provides space for each student to find the way of learning that works best for them. In other words, integrating these three methods provides flexibility and responsiveness to diverse learning needs
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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
