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

Bu araştırma nicel ve nitel araştırma yöntemlerinin bir arada kullanıldığı karma yöntemle yapılmıştır. Bu araştırmanın çalışma grubunu 2023-2024 eğitim öğretim yılında Gaziantep ili Şehitkamil ilçesinde bulunan MEB'e bağlı bir devlet okulunun 7. sınıf öğrencileri oluşturmuştur. Araştırma kapsamında 7. sınıf şubeleri arasından deney ve kontrol grubu şeklinde iki grup oluşturulmuştur. Gruplar oluşturulurken öğrencilerin ders başarılarının benzer özellik göstermesi dikkate alınmıştır. Veri toplama araçları, başarı testi, tutum ölçeği, yapılandırılmamış öğrenci günlükleri ve yapılandırılmamış gözlem formudur. Araştırmanın nitel kısmında durum çalışması deseni, nicel kısmında ise ön test- son test kontrol gruplu yarı deneysel desen kullanılmıştır. Araştırmada 2018 Sosyal Bilgiler Dersi Öğretim Programı'nda (SBDÖP) 7. sınıf Kültür ve Miras öğrenme alanında yer alan 5 kazanımı içeren analoji etkinlikleri tasarlanmıştır. Araştırmada geliştirilen başarı testi ve sosyal bilgiler dersi tutum ölçeği için geçerlik ve güvenirlik analizleri yapılmıştır. Araştırmanın nicel boyutunda yarı deneysel desende analizler yapılmıştır. Deney ve kontrol grubunun hem tutum hem de başarı testinden aldıkları puanlar karşılaştırıldığında deney grubu lehine istatistiksel açıdan anlamlı farklılığa rastlanmıştır. Böylelikle uygulanan analoji etkinlikleri ile öğrencilerin tutum ve başarılarının artığı görülmüştür. Araştırmanın nitel boyutunda 3 ana tema belirlenmiştir. Bu temalar, Sosyal Bilgiler dersinde analoji tekniği uygulamasında yapılanlara ilişkin öğrenci görüşleri, sosyal bilgiler dersi analoji tekniği uygulamasının katkılarına ilişkin öğrenci görüşleri, sosyal bilgiler dersinde analoji tekniği uygulamasında oluşan duyuşsal duruma ilişkin öğrenci görüşleridir. Araştırmanın nicel ve nitel bulguları birbirini desteklediği ve tutarlı olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır. Öğrenciler analoji tekniğinin sosyal bilgiler dersinde kullanılması ile ilgili olumlu görüş bildirmiş, genel anlamda faydalı bulmuşlardır. Anahtar Kelimeler: Sosyal bilgiler, analoji, başarı testi, tutum ölçeğiIt is believed that the use of the analogy technique in social studies lessons will increase students' success in the lesson by enabling meaningful learning and will have a positive impact on their cognitive and affective development. This research was conducted using a mixed method that combines quantitative and qualitative research methods. The study group of this research consisted of 7th grade students from a state school affiliated with the Ministry of National Education in Şehitkamil district of Gaziantep province in the 2023-2024 academic year. Within the scope of the research, two groups were formed as experimental and control groups among the 7th grade classes. When forming the groups, it was taken into consideration that the students' academic achievements have similar characteristics. The data collection tools were achievement test, attitude scale, unstructured student diaries, and unstructured observation form. In the qualitative part of the research, a case study design was used, and in the quantitative part, a pre-test-post-test control group quasi-experimental design was used. Analogy activities including 5 achievements in the 7th grade Culture and Heritage learning area of the 2018 Social Studies Curriculum were designed in the research. Validity and reliability analyses were conducted for the achievement test and social studies lesson attitude scale developed in the research. In the quantitative dimension of the research, analyses were conducted in a quasi-experimental design. When the scores obtained from both the attitude and achievement tests of the experimental and control groups were compared, a statistically significant difference in favor of the experimental group was found. Thus, it was observed that the applied analogy activities increased students' attitudes and achievements. In the qualitative dimension of the research, three main themes have been identified. These themes are student views on the application of analogy technique in Social Studies class, student views on the contributions of analogy technique application in social studies class, and student views on the affective state formed in the application of analogy technique in social studies class. It has been concluded that the quantitative and qualitative findings of the research support each other and are consistent. Students have expressed positive views on the use of analogy technique in social studies class and have generally found it beneficial. Keywords: Social studies, analogy, achievement test, attitude scal
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

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.
