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
Investigating the effect of bibliotherapy and cinematherapy on improving friendship relationships of gifted students
Full text linkÖzel yetenekli çocuklar, eş zamanlı olmayan gelişimlerinden dolayı akranlarından farklılık gösterirler, bu durum çeşitli zorluklara yol açabilmektedir. Söz konusu çocukların farklılaşan düşünce süreçleri ve ilgi alanları, benzer ilgilere sahip olmayan akranlarıyla problemlerle karşılaşmalarına ve yalnızlık yaşamalarına neden olabilir. Özel yetenekli çocuklar duygularını daha derin ve yoğun yaşarlar, bu yoğunluk yaşıtları tarafından anlaşılmalarını zorlaştırabilir ve iletişimlerinde sorunlar oluşturabilir. Bu noktada, bireylerin kendilerini ve başkalarını anlamalarına yardımcı olan, zorlayıcı durumlarla baş etmede sağlıklı bir anlayış geliştirmelerine katkıda bulunabilen ve sosyal duygusal gelişimi destekleyen bibliyoterapi ve sinematerapi gibi yöntemleri içeren uygulamalara ihtiyaç duyulabilmektedir. Kitaplar ve filmlerdeki karakterler aracılığıyla yaşanan deneyimler, öğrencilere kendi hayatlarıyla benzerlik kurma ve daha derin bir anlam bulma imkanı sunabilir. Bu çalışmada geliştirilen bibliyoterapi ve sinematerapiye dayalı eğitim uygulamalarının, öğrencilerin zorlandıkları arkadaşlık ilişkilerini geliştirmelerine destek olması amaçlanmaktadır. Çalışmada 8 oturumluk bir eğitim programı uygulanarak öğrencilerin arkadaşlık ilişkilerine olan etkisi incelenmiştir. Arkadaşlık temalı kitaplar ve filmler üzerinden grup tartışmaları gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırmaya, özel yetenekli 5. ve 6. sınıf düzeyinden iki farklı deney grubunda 24 (12 bibliyoterapi, 12 sinematerapi) ve kontrol grubunda 12 olmak üzere toplam 36 öğrenci katılmıştır. Bu araştırma, iki aşamalı açımlayıcı karma desende gerçekleştirilmiştir. İlk aşamada nicel veriler toplanmış, daha sonra nicel verilerden ortaya çıkan problem alanlarına ilişkin konu derinlemesine nitel olarak incelenmiştir. Nicel verilerin analizleri SPSS 26.00 programı yardımıyla yapılmıştır. Verilerin toplanmasında "Kişisel Bilgi Formu", "Arkadaşlık Niteliği Ölçeği" ve "Yarı Yapılandırılmış Görüşme Formu" kullanılmıştır. Nicel verilerin analizlerinde non-parametrik testlere, nitel verilerin değerlendirilmesinde ise betimsel analize başvurulmuştur. Araştırma sonucunda, bibliyoterapi ve sinematerapi programının uygulandığı müdahale gruplarında son test lehine anlamlı bir farklılık oluşmuştur. Nitel analizler, eğitim programına katılanların arkadaşlık ilişkilerinde olumlu yönde artış olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. Tez kapsamında, uygulanan her iki programın sosyal geçerliği de incelenmiştir. Sosyal geçerlilik değerlendirildiğinde, uygulanan programın öğrenci görüşlerine göre fayda ve etkisinin yüksek düzeyde olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Bu çalışmanın, özel yetenekli öğrencilerin arkadaşlık ilişkilerini geliştirdiği görülmüş ve alanda yapılan çalışmaların sınırlı olması nedeniyle literatüre önemli katkı sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir. Elde edilen bulgulara dayanarak araştırmacı ve uygulamacılara bazı önerilerde bulunulmuştur.Gifted children differ from their peers due to their asynchronous development, which can lead to various challenges. Their distinctive thought processes and interests may cause them to encounter difficulties and loneliness when interacting with peers who do not share similar interests. Gifted children tend to experience their emotions more deeply and intensely, which can make it difficult for their peers to understand them, leading to communication problems. At this point, there is a need for practices that include methods like bibliotherapy and cinema therapy, which help individuals understand themselves and others, contribute to developing a healthy understanding for coping with challenging situations, and support social-emotional development. Through experiences with characters in books and films, students can find opportunities to draw parallels with their own lives and gain a deeper understanding. This study aims to support students in improving their challenging friendship relationships through bibliotherapy and cinema therapy-based educational practices. An 8-session educational program was implemented in the study, and its impact on students' friendship relationships was examined. Group discussions were conducted using books and films themed around friendship. Group discussions were conducted using books and films with a friendship theme. A total of 36 students from the 5th and 6th grades, who are gifted, participated in the study, divided into two different experimental groups (24 students-12 in bibliotherapy and 12 in cinema therapy) and a control group (12 students). This study was conducted using a two-phase explanatory sequential mixed-methods design. In the first phase, quantitative data were collected, followed by an in-depth qualitative examination of the issues identified from the quantitative data. The analysis of the quantitative data was carried out using the SPSS 26.00 software. For data collection, a "Personal Information Form," the "Friendship Quality Scale," and a "Semi-Structured Interview Form" were used. Non-parametric tests were employed for the analysis of quantitative data, while descriptive analysis was used for evaluating the qualitative data. The results revealed a significant difference in favor of the post-test in the intervention groups where the bibliotherapy and cinema therapy programs were implemented. Qualitative analyses indicated an increase in positive friendship relationships among participants in the educational program. The social validity of both programs was also examined within the scope of the study. When evaluating social validity, it was concluded that the program had a high level of benefit and impact based on student feedback. This study demonstrated that it contributed to the improvement of friendship relationships among gifted students, and due to the limited number of studies in this field, it is expected to provide a significant contribution to the literature. Based on the findings, some recommendations were made for researchers and practitioners
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
