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
Exploring the teaching and learning process among deaf students by using images / Aidah Alias
No full textEducation is one of the most important fundamental elements in a human life. It helps us in learning and achieving new things in life. The ability of hearing gave us chances to hear voices and it is important in our communication. But, what if we are born deaf or having hearing loss while growing up? It have been stated clearly by other researchers, the possibility students faced with conflicts is when they learn and faced with the inappropriate learning style. Problems occur when students' learning styles cannot be adapted with the style of teaching activities and lectures. As a result students become bored and do not concentrate; cause them to fail to get high marks in examinations, less interested in a particular subject and then give up. The objectives of this study are to identify the current practice in teaching and learning among deaf students and to analyse appropriate teaching model of using images in enhancing learning process among deaf students. A case study method was employed by using methods of observation and interviews to selected deaf students and teachers. The findings indicated that the induction is the current practice in teaching and learning among deaf students and suitable method of teaching for deaf students is by using images and movement. In other words by combining these two medium of images and movement, this study suggested the best medium is by using sequential images. The study concluded and recommended that sequential image model is the recommended medium to be used in teaching and learning process for deaf students
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
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
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
Using photographic images as an alternative method to enhance learning process in pre-school level / Farihan Zaharia...[et.al]
Get PDFIn this research, researcher chooses a pre-school level for the subject matter of this study. Researcher interested to study about the effectiveness using image photography to enhance learning process in pre-school level. The objectives of pre-school or kindergarten is to nurture the pupils' learning potential in the aspect of growth, mastering the basic skills and cultivating positive traits. This is as a preparation of entering the next level that is primary school. Language development occurs progressively and a child's symbolic way of thinking starts around this period of which is also known as the pre-operational period. Within this phase, children is said to be able to develop logical thinking albeit one-way and that this ability is restricted due to their inability to think the other way around. For that reason, researchers are highly interested in investigating the effectiveness of photographical image usage when it is applied in pupils' learning process in pre-school level
