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
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
Cognitive and Affective Characteristics of Korean Junior High School Gifted Students: A Comparison with Nongifted Students
No full text본 연구에서는 우리나라 중학생 영재들이 일반학생들에 비해 어떤 지적ㆍ정의적 특성을 가지고 있으며, 이들 특성은 학년과 성별에 따라 어떠한 차이가 나는지를 분석하였다. 이를 위해 다단계군집확률표본을 통하여 중학교 영재학생 959명과 일반학생 1,384명 총 2,343명의 학생들을 표집 하였다. 지능검사를 비롯하여 학습양식 선호, 상위인지, 창의적 인성, 행복도 등의 특성을 조사한 결과 영재학생은 일반학생 보다 일반 지능지수가 높았으며 다양한 학습양식 가운데 프로젝트, 독립학습, 반복훈련 및 암기, 토론학습, 역할놀이를 더 선호하였다. 또한 되뇌기, 정교화, 조직화, 비판적 사고, 자기 모니터링, 시간관리, 끈기, 도움요청 등 모든 상위인지 전략을 일반학생 보다 더 많이 사용하였다. 정의적 차원에서도 우리나라 중학생 영재는 일반학생 보다 더 강한 창의적 인성의 소유자로 또 더 높은 행복감을 느끼고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 특별히 창의적 성취와 관련되는 인내심이 많고, 자기확신이 강하며, 호기심 및 상상력이 풍부하였다. 또한 개방적이고 모험심도 일반학생 보다 더 많은 것으로 조사되었다. 영재학생은 타인이나 자신이 자신을 인정하는 것에 대한 더 긍정적인 생각을 가지고 있으며, 친구관계가 긍정적이고 전반적인 만족감을 더 많이 가지고 생활하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 하지만 학년이 올라갈수록 학교 학습 관련 만족감이 감소하고 있으며, 남학생이 여학생보다 그 만족감이 더 낮은 것으로 조사되어 이에 대한 시급한 조처의 필요성이 대두되었다. 이외 연구에서 고려한 다섯 가지 특성변인들 및 그들 하위요인들 간의 상관관계 분석결과를 함께 제시하였다.
The purpose of the study was to investigate the cognitive and affective characteristics of the Korean junior high school gifted students. To highlight gifted students' characteristics, 1,384 nongifted students from regular schools were randomly selected and compared with 959 randomly selected gifted students from various institutes of gifted education throughout the country. In addition to the KEDI intelligence test administered in groups, the students responded to a survey composed of several checklists on learning style, metacognitive ability, creative personality, and happiness. A series of one-way ANOVAs revealed that the gifted students were superior to the nongifted students in their intelligence and metacognitive ability and showed different preferences for various learning styles. They preferred projects, independent study, drill and recitation, discussion, and simulations more than did the nongifted students. Also, the gifted students showed more creative personality and positive perceptions on their school life than did their counterparts. The gifted students were more patient, stronger in self-assurance, and more curious and imaginative than the nongifted students. However, as they advanced into the higher grade, the degree of their satisfaction with their classroom learning significantly lowered, and the degree of the satisfaction with classroom learning was lower with boys than with girls. This result implied the necessity for an urgent intervention for improving teachers' instructional methods and classroom situations to provide students with more autonomy for their own learning. Several correlational analyses were also performed to examine the relationships between the five cognitive and affective characteristics and the relationships among the subordinate variables of each characteristic. Specifically, the use of self-regulation strategies were highly correlated with the personal characteristic of perseverance/tenacity and with feeling of happiness resulted from others' compliments and acknowledgements and/or from self-assurance. Moreover, the students who liked discussion tended to like role play to learn something, and those who often used self-regulation strategies also tended to use a plenty of rehearsal strategies for learning
CARVING OUT A PLACE IN CHILDREN’S LITERATURE: AMERICAN AUTHORS OF CHINESE, JAPANESE, AND KOREAN DESCENT
Get PDFAsian American authors have been producing works for children for more than a century, adding to the diversity and sophistication of the body of children’s literature. Critics ascribe the development of Asian American works for children to the success of the civil rights movement and the subsequent ethnic awareness that brought about multiculturalism in the fields of education and children’s books. The growth of Asian American children’s literature, however, is rarely visible in marketplaces, and Asian American authors’ works have received scant scholarly attention or criticism. The critical attention they have received is often couched as complaints concerning their literary value. Using critical multiculturalism as a framework, however, sheds new light on some Asian American authors and their narratives, illuminating their literary treatment of racial hierarchy and material inequalities. Such a critical framework reveals how these authors demonstrate Asian Americans’ love for America. These authors salvage moments of Asian American historical experiences that might otherwise be buried or dismissed in traditional US history. They also reveal how the myth of the model minority has served to marginalize Americans with Asian faces, and recount how Asian American children develop culturally hybrid identities through ongoing negotiations of conflicts between the mainstream culture and their ethnic cultures. In their narratives, these authors make it clear that they are as American as they are Asian.
To demonstrate the way Asian American authors narrate Asian American experiences in children’s books, this dissertation examines six representative texts: Dragonwings by Laurence Yep and Weedflower by Cynthia Kadohata for Asian Americans’ historicity in the US, A Step from Heaven by An Na and Beacon Hill Boys by Ken Mochizuki for dissolving the model minority ideal, and Stanford Wong Flunks Big-Time by Lisa Yee and Project Mulberry by Linda Sue Park for Asian American children as cultural hybrids. In addition to socio-political analyses of these texts, this dissertation also interrogates the literary aesthetics these authors employ. These authors maintain a striking balance between artistic mastery and their messages. Their literary techniques help these texts appeal to a broad readership, leading readers to empathize with Asian American children and disrupting readers ideological notions regarding American history, America as a land of equal opportunity, and Asian Americans themselves
