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
The Effectiveness of Podcast in Listening Class (Intensive Course Program)
No full textBased on Qasim and Fadda study on 2013, the result showed that the use of technology, that was Podcast, is able to contribute positive effect toward the students’ listening skill. The researcher used true-experimental and applied simple random sampling for 66 students into two groups. The way of researcher applied that sampling technique is through students’ attendance list number (even and odd number). The odd number was formed to be a new group. The researcher decided the odd number group as control group and the rest (even number) was an experimental group by throwing the coin. They saved the record in MP3 and USB. They could listen and choose the channel and topic as they like. Their preference to choose the issue will be one of the motivations to use Podcast. And the following step was filling the listening log as the media to evaluate what have they listened. After getting treatment for 8 weeks, the posttest has been analyzed by using SPSS showed that was Ho has been rejected and H1 was accepted. In other words, there was a positive effect from Podcast toward student’s listening skill. The Student’s perception is also good toward the using of Podcast. It can be shown from the results of questionnaire that were given to the 1A (odd number) students
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
USES AND ADVANTAGES OF DISCOURSE MARKERS ON SPEAKING SKILL LEARNING AT PESANTREN-BASED ENGLISH COURSE
Full text linkDiscourse markers often occur in the process of communicatingusing speaking skills. In this case, between the speaker and the listenerwill always give a sign as the indicators which show that they canunderstand each other. They can follow the conversation or the lecturingprocess. Both parties use discourse markers as an indicator of interest andunderstanding of what is being discussed. In this study, the researcherdescribes the variation of discourse markers in form of three language;English, Indonesia and Madura. The researcher has conducted three timesobservation and taken documentation on Pesantren-Based English course.The term pesantren is described as an Islamic boarding house wherestudents immerse themselves in a learning environment with Islamicvalues. English-based Pesantren has been chosen because all of thestudents and the teachers must speak English although they are doing dailyactivities. The observations were conducted at three teachers or familiarlycalled ustad in the morning hours at 06.00-07.30 and evening at 21.0022.30.The final result states that three teachers have used three kinds oflanguages namely DMs in English are; About, ok, Now, If, there, please,well, really, right, mhmmmm, so and right. While DMs in the form ofIndonesian is: bisa, coba, ya, apa, jadi, tapi. DMs is also used in form ofMadurese language, namely: mon, deddih and apahjiah. The result showsthat DMs have two functions namely textual function and interpersonalfunction
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
