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
EXTENT OF IMPLEMENTATION OF POSITIVE DISCIPLINE PROGRAMIN SELECTED SCHOOLS IN DISTRICT II-B DIVISION OF QUEZON CITY
Get PDFThis study aimed to assess the extent of implementation of positive discipline program in selected schools in district 2B division of Quezon City. The respondents of the study were composed of fifty teachers and fifty students in Grade 7. The selection of respondents was done through random sampling and the researcher-made-survey questionnaire was used. The reliability and accuracy of the survey questionnaire was certified by the teachers who served as validators. Afterwards, questionnaires were administered to both groups of respondents. The study generated the following findings. Both groups of respondents perceived that the Positive Discipline Program was highly implemented in their schools in terms of limit setting and only moderately implemented in terms of responsibility training, omission training, and back-up system. There was no significant difference in the perceptions of the two groups of respondents on the extent of implementation of the Positive Discipline Program in their schools. The two groups of respondents “agree” that there were challenges encountered in the implementation of the Positive Discipline Program in their respective schools most particularly, “lack of support system program from school intervention on positive discipline program and “lack of emphasis on implementation guidelines for the program”. Based on the findings of the study, the following conclusions were drawn: The Positive Discipline Program was well – implemented in the schools used as subjects of the study in terms of limit setting but not so well – implemented in terms of responsibility training, omission training and back-up system. The two groups of respondents has similar perceptions on the extent of implementation of the Positive Discipline Program. There were problems encountered in the implementation of the Positive Discipline Program. Based on the findings and conclusions drawn, the following recommendations were hereby proposed: The students should always listen to parents and teachers about their discipline and values management that will improve their attitudes and behaviors as they grow to become responsible, respectful and resourceful member of the communities. The parents should effectively communicate well with their children and teach them the proper attitudes and behaviors that they should act upon on during their early formative years as the main component of child’s development and as an old adage “Good Manners Always Begins at Home” and that as parents they have bigger responsibilities for their child/ children on how they will become good members of the communities and the society at large. The teachers should impose and implement classroom management programs on positive discipline anchored on the different aspects of Limit Setting, Responsibility Training, Omission Training and Back-up System that will encourage students’ compliance and adherence creating long term positive effects. The schools should implement and carry out the policies and programs for positive discipline in their school in general through the initiatives of school leaders and its management that would largely facilitate a positive learning environment for all. The future researchers should conduct studies on Positive Discipline Program of Teachers in Relation to Academic Performance of Students that will bridge the gaps and loopholes of stating problems of the study

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
