    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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 link
    We 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

    We 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

    We 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

    This study aims to develop a Power Point teaching materials and students’ worksheet (LKS) Math Grade 5 Mawar Sharon Surabaya SD Susing the ADDIE Model. Design development test result susing pre-test post-test Group. T-test results showed that the test tvalue is7,397, while the value of the test  able is 2,069, meaning the tvalue ofthe test is greater than the valueof testable. Meaning there are differences in learning outcomes between the experimental class and the control class as seen from the second post test tvalues test class. The average value of the class or classes mean the experiment has increased and higher than the control class, is 31.6667 compared with 20.1250. The difference is due to the use of teaching materials to students in the experimental class in class control while only using the lecture method. Students response to the use of Power Point and Worksheets media showed an average of 95.83% stated that the material is easy to understand and 87.5% stated that the learning interesting.Abstrak:Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan bahan ajar powerpoint dan Lembar Kerja Siswa (LKS) mata pelajaran matematika kelas 5 SDS Mawar Sharon Surabaya dengan menggunakan model ADDIE. Desain uji coba hasil pengembangan menggunakan Pretest Pos test Group. Hasil uji t menunjukkan bahwa nilai uji t hitung adalah 7.397, sementara nilai uji ttabel adalah 2.069, berarti nilai uji t hitung lebih besar dari nilai uji tabel. Maknanya ada perbedaan hasil belajar antara kelas kontrol dan kelas eksperimen yang dilihat dari uji t nilai pos test kedua kelas. Nilai rata-rata kelas atau mean pada kelas eksperimen mengalami peningkatan dan lebih tinggi dibandingkan kelas kontrol, yaitu 31.6667 dibandingkan dengan 20.1250. Perbedaan tersebut terjadi karena adanya penggunaan bahan ajar pada siswa di kelas eksperimen sedangkan di kelas kontrol hanya menggunakan metode ceramah. Respon siswa terhadap penggunaan media powerpoint dan lembar kerja menunjukkan rata-rata sebesar 95.83 % menyatakan bahwa materi mudah dimengerti dan 87.5 % menyatakan bahwa pembelajaran menarik
