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
Skolehage året rundt
No full textDet finnes få praktiske aktiviteter beregnet på småskolen på vinteren. Skolehage har med den nye læreplanen fått ett større fokus. Skolehage er en naturlig inngang til utforskende og praktisk arbeid, som har fått en sentral del i den overordnede delen av LK20, i tillegg til bærekraft som har kommet inn som ett tverrfaglig tema.
Det fantes lite til ingen undervisningsopplegg om skolehage for småtrinnet, og spesielt ikke som en vinteraktivitet. Dette ønsket jeg å gjøre noe med. Jeg har dermed skrevet en utviklingsbasert masteroppgave med problemstillingen; Hvordan kan man arbeide med skolehage som en praktisk vinteraktivitet i småskolen? For å finne svar på denne problemstillingen, har jeg valgt følgende forskningsspørsmål;
1. Hvilke læringsaktiviteter kan knyttes opp mot skolehage inne, og hvilke kjennetegn på oppnådd læringsmål kan vi finne?
2. Hvordan bidrar prosjektet til motivasjon og tilpasset opplæring?
Dette er en kvalitativ studie, som tar utgangspunkt i pedagogisk designforsking. Studiet viser at undervisningsopplegget jeg utviklet fungerer godt på småtrinnet. Det er motiverende for elevene ved at det er varierende og elevene får ansvar og mestring på en måte de ikke er vant til. Det er også godt tilpasset alle, da det igjen er varierende og du trenger ingen forkunnskaper for å gjøre det bra. Det legger heller ikke opp til mye skriving eller lesing, så man kan se at strukturen i klassen endrer seg, og de elevene som gjerne ikke sier så mye får briljere. Elevene lærte også mye gjennom prosjektet, ikke bare faglig kunnskap, men også om holdninger, planting, ansvar og hvordan vi kan bidra til en mer bærekraftig verden

With the new curriculum, the school garden has been given a greater focus. School garden is a natural entrance to exploratory and practical work, which has been given a central part in the overall part of LK20, in addition to sustainability, which has come in as an interdisciplinary theme.
There was little to no teaching program about the school garden for the primary school, and especially not as a winter activity. I wanted to do something about this. I have thus written a development-based master's thesis with the problem; How can you work with a school garden as a practical winter activity in primary school? And the research questions;
1. What learning activities can be linked to the school garden inside, and what characteristics of achieved learning goals can we find.
2. How does the project contribute to motivation and adapted training?
This is a qualitative study, which is based on pedagogical design research in order to create a local teaching theory that can be generalized. The study shows that the teaching plan I developed works well at the primary level. It is motivating for the students in that it is varied and the students are given responsibility and mastery in a way they are not used to. It is also well adapted to everyone, as it again varies and you do not need any prior knowledge to do well. It also does not add up to a lot of writing or reading, so you can see that the structure of the class changes, and the students who do not like to say so much get to excel. The students also learned a lot through the project, not only professional knowledge, but also about attitudes, planting, responsibility and how we can contribute to a more sustainable world
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
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
