Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
Almancayı Türkiye’de Öğrenen Almanca Öğretmenliği Lisans Öğrencilerinin Yabancı Dil Konuşma Deneyimleri
No full textBu çalışmanın amacı Türkiye’de Almanca öğrenerek Almanca öğretmenliği programına yerleşmiş öğrencilerin Almanca konuşma deneyimlerinin incelenmesidir. Bu doğrultuda nitel araştırma desenlerinden biri olan fenomenoloji kullanılmış ve Hacettepe Üniversitesi Almanca öğretmenliği programında okumakta olan dokuz katılımcı ile 2022-2023 güz yarı yılında yarı yapılandırılmış bireysel görüşmeler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Görüşme kayıtları öncelikle çevriyazı haline getirilmiş ve daha sonra MAXQDA 2020 yazılımı ile nitel olarak çözümlenmiştir. Elde edilen bulgular üç ana temada ele alınmıştır: (1) Almanca konuşmadaki sorunlara ilişkin görüşler, (2) Almanca konuşmaya yönelik olumlu görüşler, (3) Almanca konuşma becerisinin alt boyutlarına ilişkin öz değerlendirmeler. Bulgular, alt kategorileri ve öğrenci ifadelerinden alıntılar ile birlikte detaylı bir şekilde sunulmuş ve raporlaştırılmıştır. Son olarak yabancı dilde konuşma becerisine yönelik çeşitli eğitsel çıktılar ve konunun araştırılmasına yönelik öneriler sunulmuştur.The purpose of this study is to examine the German speaking experiences of students who have learned German in Turkey and placed in a German language teaching program. To this end, phenomenology, one of the qualitative research designs, was used and semi-structured individual interviews were conducted with nine participants studying in the German language teaching program of a state university in Turkey in the fall semester of 2022-2023. The interview recordings were first transcribed and then qualitatively analyzed with MAXQDA 2020 software. The findings were analyzed under three main themes: (1) views and selfassessments on difficulties in speaking German, (2) positive views on speaking German, (3) views on subdimensions of German speaking skills. In addition, the findings were presented and reported in detail with their sub-categories and quotations from student statements. Finally, various educational outcomes for foreign language speaking skills and suggestions for further research on the subject are presented.</div

Analyse der fremdsprachenprüfungen am beispiel kpds
No full textIn this study, Foreign Language Proficiency Examination for the State Employees (KPDS), which was administered in Turkey during the years between 1990 and 2013, was aimed to be analyzed. The criteria for this analysis were improved based on a current and international guideline for foreign language teaching domain, which is called Common European Framework of Reference for Languages . Through this analysis, both the grammar and the vocabulary levels of the 80 questions that were asked in 2011 spring term exam with their answer options were identified. In the meantime, not only the concepts such as objectivity, validity, and the reliability of the tests, but also the process of controlling the validity of the exams were discussed. Besides, some historical data on the government officers knowledge of foreign language and the legal basis of testing that knowledge were roughly investigated.Bu çalışmada, Türkiye'de 1990-2013 tarihleri arasında Kamu Personeli Dil Sınavı (KPDS) olarak uygulanmış olan sınavın incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. İnceleme ölçütleri, yabancı dil öğretiminde güncel ve uluslararası nitelikte olan "Diller için Avrupa Ortak Başvuru Metni" adlı kaynağa dayanılarak geliştirilmiştir. Gerçekleştirilen inceleme sayesinde 2011 sonbahar dönemi sınavının, cevap seçenekleri de dâhil olmak üzere 80 soruya ait dil bilgisinin yanı sıra kelime bilgisi alanında da ulaştığı seviyeler tespit edilmiştir. Bu esnada sadece sınavlarla ilgili tarafsızlık, güvenirlik, geçerlik gibi kavramlar değil aynı zamanda da sınavları geçerleme süreçleri de ele alınmıştır. Bunların yanı sıra memurların yabancı dil bilgisine ilişkin bazı tarihi veriler ve bunun sınanmasına ilişkin yasal temeller genel hatlarıyla araştırılmıştır
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe 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
