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
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
Mülteci Çocukların Psikolojik Sağlamlıkları ve Kültürlenme Stratejileri
No full textThe aim of the study was to examine the psychological resilience of the Syrian refugee children (11-18 ages) and their acculturation strategies.The quantitative data were collected from 957 Syrian refugee children and the qualitative data were collected from six people having working experience with Syrian refugee children. “Child and Youth Resilience Measure-12”, “Vancouver Index of Acculturation”, “Social Contact Scale-R”, “Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support”, “Sense of School Belonging Subscale”, General Self-Efficacy Scale”, “Children's Hope Scale”, and “Turkish Proficiency Level Questionnaire” were used in data collection process. “Vancouver Index of Acculturation” was adapted to Turkish and Arabic, “Social Contact Scale-R” and “Sense of School Belonging Subscale” were adapted to Arabic. The results of the research showed that high level of hope, perceived social support from family, quantity of social contact and sense of school belonging increased the psychological resilience of the Syrian refugee children. When the integration strategy was taken as a reference category, Syrian refugee children with low quality and quantity of social contact, low perceived social support from friends and low hope level, and high perceived social support from significant others use separation strategy. Syrian refugee children with the low perceived social support from friends and family, and low hope level and high quantity of social contact prefere assimilation. Syrian refugee children with the low hope level, low quality of social contact, low perceived social support from family and low sense of school belonging level prefere marginalization. Additonally, the qualitative findings of the study supported the quantitative results.Suriyeli mülteci çocukların (11-18 yaş) psikolojik sağlamlıkları ve kültürlenme stratejilerinin (ayrışma, bütünleşme, asimilasyon ve marjinalleşme) incelendiği bu araştırmada karma yöntemlerden biri olan yakınsayan paralel desen kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın çalışma grubu, nicel verilerin toplandığı 957 Suriyeli mülteci çocuk ile nitel verilerin toplandığı Suriyeli mülteci çocuklarla çalışma deneyimi olan altı kişiden oluşmuştur. Veri toplama aracı olarak “Çocuk ve Genç Psikolojik Sağlamlık Ölçeği-12”, “Vancouver Kültürlenme İndeksi”, “Sosyal Temas Ölçeği-R”,“Çok Boyutlu Algılanan Sosyal Destek Ölçeği”,“Okula Aidiyet Alt Ölçeği”,“Genel Öz Yeterlik Ölçeği”, “Çocuklarda Umut Ölçeği”, “Türkçe Yeterlik Düzeyi Anketi” ve “Kişisel Bilgi Formu” ile odak grup görüşmesi için hazırlanan “Görüşme Formu”kullanılmıştır. Veri toplama araçlarından “Vancouver Kültürlenme İndeksi” Türkçe ve Arapçaya; “Sosyal Temas Ölçeği-R” ile “Okula Aidiyet Alt Ölçeği” ise Arapçaya uyarlanmıştır. Araştırmanın sonucuna göre Suriyeli mülteci çocukların umut, aileden algılanan sosyal destek, sosyal temas sıklığı ve okula aidiyet düzeyleri arttıkça psikolojik sağlamlık düzeyleri de artmaktadır. Bütünleşme stratejisi referans kategori olarak alındığında; sosyal temas niteliği, sosyal temas sıklığı, arkadaştan algılanan sosyal destek ve umut düzeyi azaldıkça, özel birinden algılanan sosyal destek düzeyi ise yükseldikçe Suriyeli mülteci çocuklar, ayrışma stratejisini kullanmaktadırlar. Arkadaştan algılanan sosyal destek, aileden algılanan sosyal destek ve umut düzeyi düştükçe, sosyal temas sıklığı ise yükseldikçe Suriyeli mülteci çocuklar asimilasyon stratejisini; umut, sosyal temas niteliği, aileden algılanan sosyal destek ve okula aidiyet düzeyi düştükçe Suriyeli mülteci çocuklar marjinalleşme stratejisini tercih etmektedir. Araştırmanın nitel verileri de bu sonuçları desteklemektedir. Araştırmada elde edilen bulgular, alanyazın çerçevesinde tartışılmış; araştırmacı, uygulayıcı ve politika yapıcılara yönelik çeşitli öneriler sunulmuştur
Üniversite Öğrencilerinde Kariyer Uyumu, Toplumsal Cinsiyet Rollerine İlişkin Algılar ve Kariyer Kararsızlığı
No full textThe purpose of this study is to examine whether the perceptions of gender roles and career indecision predict the level of career adaptation of university students or not. Additionaly, the study examined whether the level of career adaptation differs in terms of sex. The participants constitute a total of 500 (344 female, 156 male) fourth-grade students studying at various faculties of a state university in Ankara, the level of career adaptation was determined by Career Adapt-Abilities Scale (CAAS), messages regarding gender roles were measured by Socialization of Gender Norms Scale (SGNS), the level of career indecision was measured by Career Decision Scale (CDS).
In the study, while the perceptions regarding career indecision and gender roles are independent variables, career adaptability is dependent variable. The Stepwise-Regression analysis was utilized to determine the predictive power of the level of career adaptation. The relationship between sex and the level of career adaptation of students was examined by independent samples t test.
According to the findings, the perceptions of gender roles and career indecision significantly predicted career adaptation level. While career indecision predicted career adaptation level at significant level both statistically and practically, perceptions regarding gender roles predicted statistically at significant level, but practically at insignificant level. When it comes to the predictive power of career indecision regarding the sub-dimensions of CAAS, it was found to be related to concern, control, curiosity and confidence dimensions. On the other hand, when the predictive power of perceptions of gender roles regarding the sub-dimensions of CAAS was examined, it was found to be related to concern, control, and confidence dimensions in statistics, but insignificantly in practice. However, it was found that the perceptions of gender roles did not predict statistically at significant level. Lastly, the level of career adaptation did not differ in terms of sex
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
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
