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
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
Appraisal of Quality Education and Aspect of Teacher in Character Building of Student
Get PDFIn this research paper, we had tried to develop a new imperative plan to recuperate the quality of education in 21th Centurial, which can provide a better result for the prosperity of a country, district, asylum, as well as for the teacher & students. New Strategy/expedients ensure to play a pivotal lead in the development of a country if those planning are in the good hand. By using quantitative technique, we had collected data from different Tehsil of district M. Garh, to weigh the quality of education standard in boys and girls higher secondary schools. For this purpose questionnaire was made to assemble the primary information through a simple random sampling mechanism. Questionnaire was consisted of five parts, First one is Administrative service their (p-value=0.0013, ρ2=0. 9727), Second one is a Library service their (p-value=0.00323, ρ2=0. 99734), Third one is Curriculum structure (p-value=0.0001, ρ2=0. 99936), Fourth one is Location (p-value=0.0021, ρ2 =0. 99444), Fifth one is Infrastructure (p-value=0.00341, ρ2 =0. 21572) values are respectively.

Impact of Teacher Absenteeism on Student Achievement: A Case of South Punjab District Muzaffargarh, Pakistan
Get PDFIn a recent few decades years, there has been a substantial attempt by emergent countries to put their children in the school. Basic education and educational achievement are apparent as one of the major vehicles for spurring economic development and improving the living standard of the under developing countries. Therefore, the educational accomplishment in the under developing countries is at a standstill, because of certain factors of which absenteeism in school is also contribute. An exploratory research was conducted in district Muzaffargarh to explore the factor behind the absenteeism, their effect on the student’s performance. For this purpose we had collected data through simple questionnaire method of 200 teachers, where government and private school teachers were equally distributed, in a descriptive statistics by using SPPS (21) statistical package, we had to find out their monthly income status, leaving chart, causes of absenteeism school-related problem, and personal problem as well. It was found out that most of the government school teacher avail more leave then the private school teacher, weather problem, transport problem, emergency work at home, are the main reason for teacher absenteeism. Government teacher as compare the private teacher feel more secure job, and working environment at school. Keywords: Emergent, absenteeism, student, significan
