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
Competency Requirements of Accounting Graduates: Perception of the Indonesian Stakeholders in Nusa Tenggara Barat and Bali Provinces
Get PDFThere is an urgent need for studies to support the quality of higher accounting education in Indonesia. The higher education institutions should respond to the change of the business world as well as technology that requires high
competency to satisfy the stakeholders. There is also the competency gap between the job market demand and the availability of man power in the accounting profession.
The main objective of this research is to determine level and type of competencies required by the accounting graduates, while the specific objectives are to evaluate the existing curriculum of accounting tertiary education,
determine factors that contribute to the rate of unemployment among accounting graduates, and determine the correlation between the combination level of practical work experience and the proficiencies of accounting graduates with proficiency requirements in accounting jobs. The significance of the study is revealing the level and type of proficiencies needed by the job market and determining the necessary skill courses in the accounting curriculum that would improve the quality of accounting graduates, perhaps it may be of great important for the policy of curriculum development. The study population comprises of several categories of respondent. They were heads of accounting tertiary institutions, accounting lecturers, unemployed accounting graduates, accounting employees, managers of companies, and key person of professional organization. To decide samples of each respondent, the
cluster, stratified and proportionate techniques were employed. The credit load of some skill courses has not been adequately provided; the practical skills provided are inadequate; and the most of computer skills classed provided have not been oriented to the application of accounting. In total credit load of overall courses, the education institutions comply with the national curriculum. It has also found that, the common factors leading to unemployment of accounting graduates have not just been related to the skill factors but also to the external factors such as too many job seekers and low vacancy. The greates number of the use of computer in accounting job as well as accounting graduates fulfilling accounting jobs have also been attested in the study. The study discovered that that higher institution failed to fulfill the needs as highlighted by the stakeholder theory. Also importantly, the study reinforced the stakeholder theory that there is a significant relationship between the education institutions
and the end users. Furthermore, the study divulges not only the correlation between the level of proficiency which the accounting employees obtained from formal education and that required by job market, but also the comparison of
skill qualifications between state and private tertiary institutions, college and university, and large and small/medium companies. The levels of several skills
demanded by job market and those obtained in tertiary educations have also been revealed
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
Effect of Blended Learning to Learning of Informatics Management and Computer Science Students
Get PDFOnline e-learning has become primary alternative learning in tertiary educations. Students can obtain learning information whenever and anywhere. However, lecturing and program should be combined between face to face and online e-learning presentations, in according to have effective presentation on mode, learning model and learning style are effective. Indonesia government has supported online e-learning in tertiary educations since 4 years ago. Although, there was opinion, that face to face conventional learning method was better than online learning, but other opinion declared, that online e-learning was proven more superior than conventional learning, at least in online e-learning, all students can control their pace learning. More importantly, many learners supported e-learning because of the superiority of e-learning that leaners can learn couses at home and any time. A data survey in this quantitative research, was collected to 63 students of Informatics Management and Computer Science of STMIK Bumigora Mataram, and revealed that: blended learning has 80% significantly from the ideal value to accommodate students learning style; there was no different influence learning style in blended learning between students genders; blended learning influenced till 85% from ideal value to students learning motivation; and there was difference students motivation between students of D3 study program and students of S1 Study program in blended learning
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
Analisis Deskriptif Hasil Belajar Pembelajaran Tatap Muka dan Pembelajaran Online Menurut Gaya Belajar Mahasiswa
Get PDFEach higher education institution has a choice of learning models to be held, namely face-to-face learning, online learning, and blended learning. Face-to-face and online learning models have advantages and disadvantages in supporting student learning styles. Student learning styles not only represent what students like in learning, but also affect student learning outcomes. So it is not surprising, until now there is still a crossing of opinion in the achievement of learning, face-to-face learning or online learning that provides better results. This study provides an answer solution to learning English, whether face-to-face learning or online learning that is superior in cognitive learning outcomes according to student learning styles. The results of the descriptive analysis in this study concluded that students with auditory and visual learning styles taught with online learning models had higher average learning outcomes compared to students taught with face-to-face learning models; there is no difference in the average value of kinesthetic student learning outcomes between students who are taught by face-to-face learning with students who are taught by online learning; and in general the results of descriptive analysis show that online learning students are more successful in achieving learning outcomes compared to face-to-face learning students in learning English
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
