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
İnşaat Mühendisliği Öğrencilerinin Yetişkin Eğitimi Kavramına İlişkin Metaforik Algıları
Get PDFYetişkin eğitimi, meslek hayatında ve diğer konularda kendilerini sürekli geliştirmek isteyen bireylerin
üzerinde durması gereken önemli bir konudur. İnşaat mühendisliği çok geniş ve çeşitli alanlara sahip bir
meslektir. İnşaat mühendislerinin tüm inşaat alanları hakkında bilgi sahibi olarak mezun olmaları
mümkün değildir. Bu sebeple hayat boyu öğrenme farkındalığı olan bireyler olarak yetiştirilmelidir. Bu
çalışmanın amacı İnşaat Mühendisliği Bölümünde okuyan öğrencilerin yetişkin eğitimi kavramına ilişkin
algılarını metaforlar aracılığıyla tespit etmektir. Bu amaçla Karadeniz Teknik Üniversitesi İnşaat
Mühendisliği Bölümü öğrencilerine, üzerinde “Bana göre yetişkin eğitimi ……… gibidir; çünkü ………”
yazılı cümleyi tamamlayacakları formlar dağıtılmıştır. Öğrencilerin doldurduğu formların içerikleri
incelenmiş ve 75 farklı metafor kullandıkları görülmüştür. Daha sonra bu metaforların kullanılma
sebeplerine bakılarak toplam 14 kategori elde edilmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda inşaat mühendisliği
öğrencilerinin “Zorlu uğraş” ve “Öğreticiye göre değişkenlik gösteren” kategorilerinde yoğunlaştığı tespit
edilmiştir
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
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
Internship Regulations in Civil Engineering Education: Bayburt University Civil Engineering Department Example
Get PDFCompulsory professional internships are extremely important in terms of the assimilation of theoretical
knowledge in the engineering education process. Universities had set up their own internship regulations for
their internships to be done with more attentive or a specific standard. These regulations bring about specific
criteria on how to do internships. A poor quality professional internship can lead to the development of a civil
engineer who cannot utterly meet the present and future needs of the society. Therefore the internships constitute
of implementation phase of the education and training period need to do more attentive.
The aim of this study is to compare and discuss the internship regulations of the major universities of civil
engineering education and the internship regulations of Bayburt University Department of Civil Engineering.
Thus, it is aimed to examine Bayburt University's differences in the practice of internship-based learning
method. As a result, suggestions for increasing the quality of internship application are presented
Educational Attainments of Civil Engineering Students from Their İnternships
Get PDFCivil engineers, who are members of one of the ancient and basic engineering branches,today
have a very significant place in the development of the society as they have been in the past.
Civil engineers have been taking theoretical and practical training during their 4-year
undergraduate studies before becoming a member of the profession. Professional internships,
which form a large part of the practice, constitute a significant part of the education and
training process. Compulsory professional training is carried out for the students to be able to
see the practical of the theoretical information they have received. In this way, it is aimed to
see the practical usage and application areas of the knowledge acquired by students. Students
have to prepare an internship report and pass the oral examination for the acceptance of their
internship in the Department of Civil Engineering at Karadeniz Technical University.
In this study, evaluation of the degree of knowledge acquired by students of Department of
Civil Engineering at Karadeniz Technical University during the internship period is evaluated.
In this evaluation, oral examination data, which was done by 28 instructors in October 2015,
about internship report of 268 students were used. Following the oral examination conducted
for each student, a questionnaire was applied to the instructors who conduct the oral
examination to evaluate the student's performance in internship report. The results are
presented in tables and graphs. It seems that the importance of the internship is not understood
sufficiently by the students
