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
An implicature found in Khaled Hosseini’s novel “A Thousand Splendid Suns”
No full textABSTRACT
This research is focused on implicature especially on Grice’s theory of conversational implicature. The writer wants to interpret the implicit meaning of the utterances found in the novel. The reason why the area needs to be investigated is that because the characters often express their utterances in an implied way and of course there are number of utterances whose implicit meaning in order to get better understanding.
The aim of this research is to discover the types of implicature found in Khaled Hosseini’s novel A Thousand Splendid Suns and also to understand how the implicature are used in the Khaled Hosseini’s novel A Thousand Splendid Suns. By finding and understanding the implicatures expressed in the novel, the writer could decide and identify the types of implicatures that mostly used by the speakers in the novel. In other words, I could easily find and understand the conversational implicature used by the author to express the speakers’ intended messages.
The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative method. This research deals with words not number. Besides, the data were described descriptively based on the Grice’s theory of implicature, what and how impicatures were found in A Thousand Splendid Suns novel. This method was choosen since the accurate results from the data analysis should be gained.
From the analysis, it is found that most of the speakers used particularized conversational implicatures to express their information to the hearers. Particularized conversational implicature is used when the utterance that has implied meaning which cannot separated with the context, it relies on the context, it may not be identified when the hearer of the utterance did not read the whole context of the utterance. Generalized conversational implicature is used when the information that is being conveyed is clear, brief and not ambiguous. These are required by the readers to understand the information without considering the context that bound it.
ABSTRAK
Penelitian ini difokuskan pada implikatur, terutama teori implikatur percakapan yang di kenalkan oleh Grice. Penulis ingin menginterpretasikan makna tersembunyi dari ujaran-ujaran yang ditemukan didalam novel. Alasan kenapa area ini perlu di teliti karena para pemeran di dalam novel ini seringkali mengekspresikan ujaran mereka secara tersembunyi dan tentu saja di dalam novel ini terdapat banyak makna tersembunyi yang harus di teliti untuk mendapatkan pemahaman yang lebih tentang novel ini.
Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menemukan tipe implikatur yang digunakan dalam novel A Thousand Splendid Suns dan untuk mengerti bagaimana implikatur tersebut dapat diproduksi oleh para pemeran dalam novel A Thousand Splendid Suns. Dengan menemukan dan mengerti implikatur dalam novel ini, penulis dapat menentukan dan mengidentifikasi tipe implikatur yang sering digunakan oleh penutur dalam novel. Dengan kata lain, penulis dapat dengan mudah menemukan dan mengerti implikatur percakapan yang digunakan oleh pengarang novel untuk mengekspresikan perasaan para pemeran dalam novel.
Metode penelitian yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah deskriptif kualitatif. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif kualitatif karena penelitian ini berhubungan dengan kata bukan angka. Disamping itu, data dalam penelitian ini dideskripsikan berdasarkan teori implikatur Grice, apa dan bagaimana implikatur dapat ditemukan dalam novel A Thousand Splendid Suns. Metode ini dipilih selama hasil yang akurat dari analisa data harus diperoleh.
Dari penelitian ini, penulis akhirnya dapat menemukan implikatur yang sering digunakan oleh penutur dalam novel ini yaitu implikatur percakapan khusus. Implikatur percakapan khusus digunakan ketika ujaran yang mengandung makna tersembunyi tidak dapat dipisahkan dari konteksnya, implikatur percakapan ini sangat terikat pada konteksnya, pendengar tidak akan mengerti maksud dari ujaran tersebut apabila pendengar tidak membaca seluruh konteks ujaran tersebut. Implikatur percakapan umum digunakan ketika informasi yang ingin disampaikan jelas, singkat dan tidak ambigu. Pendengar dapat memahami maksud ujaran tersebut tanpa harus membaca seluruh konteks ujaran yang disajikan
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
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
HUBUNGAN ANTARA PERSEPSI TERHADAP PEMBELAJARAN KONTEKSTUAL DENGAN MINAT BELAJAR MATEMATIKA PADA SISWA KELAS VII SMP NEGERI 18 SEMARANG
Full text linkMathematics is one of the subjects are given in all schools, both primary
education and secondary education, including at the Junior Secondary School
(SMP). The importance of tenure and number of beneficiaries in the field of
mathematics makes a lot of parties to pay attention to the process of mastery of
mathematics in the context of education. Schools have a responsibility to help
students develop positive responses to the math lesson, one way that can be done
is to adopt a Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL). The implementation of
(CTL), will be perceived by students, primarily seventh graders. Students will
evaluate and interpret these Contextual Teaching and Learning, the results will
affect the interpretation of which owned an interest and student behavior. Students
with high perceptions of CTL means it has an interest and a positive assessment of
CTL. Positive assessment of Contextual Teaching and Learning raises student
interest in learning mathematics. Interest in learning will encourage students to
focus all his attention on matters related to learning mathematics.
The population in this study is the seventh-grade students of SMP Negeri
18 Semarang, which numbered 240 students. The sampling technique using
cluster random sampling technique. Measuring instrument in this research is
Contextual Teaching and Learning Perceptions Scale with a reliability coefficient
of 0.938 and Interest in Mathematics Learning Scale reliability coefficient of
0.931. The results of this study were analyzed using simple regression analysis
techniques.
The results of this study is, perceptions of Contextual Teaching and
Learning has a strong correlation with the interests in mathematics learning
(rxy=0.772) with the effective contribution of 59.6%. So, the hypothesis
expressing that there is a positive correlation between perception of Contextual
Teaching and Learning with Interest in Mathematics
Learning at seventh-grade of SMP Negeri 18 Semarang is proven (the hypothesis
was accepted).
