    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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

    We 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

    We 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

    We 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

    Pada proses pembelajaran Tematik kelas IV SD Negeri 3 Selat Barat   tema 4 sub tema 1 jenis-jenis pekerjaan menunjukkan bahwa siswa dalam kelas tersebut kurang memiliki keaktifan yang baik dan tidak mendukung proses pembelajaran seperti berbicara sendiri dengan teman.oleh karenanya peneliti hendak meningkatkan antusias belajar siswa melalui metode Tanya jawab dan media gambar. Hasil peningkatan antusias belajar siswa pada mata pelajaran tematik dengan menggunakan strategi pembelajaran tipe Metode tanya jawab dan media gambar mencapai sejumlah 14 anak (77,7%) sedangkan yang dibawah target pencapaian minimal sejumlah 4 anak (22,2%). Target pencapaian ini belum terpenuhi kriteria keberhasilan kinerja pada siklus I, Maka perlu dilakukan tindakan siklus II dengan tujuan meningkatkan antusias belajar siswa pada mata pelajaran tematik mencapai minimal 100%. Maka dari itu perlu diteruskan untuk Tahap siklus II sebagai bentuk perbaikan pada siklus sebelumnya. Hasil dari tindakan yang dilakukan pada siklus 1 peneliti masih belum maksimal, hal ini dibuktikan ada beberapa siswa kurang mendengarkan penjelasan guru dengan baik serta saat pembelajaran masih terlihat siswa yang pasif terutama yang tidak dikontrol oleh guru dalam kegiatan berdiskusi kelompok, masih terlihat ada yang tidak bekerja sama ada yang pasif berpartisipasi. Hal tersebut juga dipengaruhi peneliti karena saat pembelajaran peneliti kurang maksimal dalam memberikan fasilitator terhadap siswa, serta tidak memberikan motivasi kepada siswa. Berdasarkan kenyataan tersebut, maka perlu dilakukan tindakan siklus II sebagai perbaikan. Pada siklus II antusias belajar siswa berhasil meningkat mencapai sejumlah 18 siswa (100%) dari keseluruhan siswa. Tidakan yang dilakukan peneliti adalah perbaikan kualitas pembelajaran serta dorongan secara moral dari sisw
