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
Actitudes de estudiantes de una universidad pública sobre la aplicación del aprendizaje invertido
Get PDFThe approach called flipped learning has been attracting teachers’ attention in recent years due to its novel way of programming and executing learning sessions, thus making a difference with the traditional model. This approach has been applied in various higher education programs; the results express the achievements that have been obtained in terms of learning thanks to its implementation. The purpose of the present research article is to identify students’ attitudes from the second cycle of General Studies of a Peruvian public university after having experienced the flipped learning in the course Language and Communication in the academic semester 2018-II. This study is quasi-experimental and of a mixed approach. A questionnaire prepared by Farrah y Qawasmeh (2018) was applied to collect the attitudes of 70 students grouped into two classrooms and developed the subject directed by the same teacher. The results show that most students consider that the pedagogical approach called flipped learning is highly beneficial for their learning because it promotes developing the necessary skills for their professional training. The results also suggest that its effectiveness depends on the students’ autonomy to develop the previous activities and the easy access they could have to the Internet.O enfoque denominado aprendizagem invertida tem chamado a atenção do corpo docente nos últimos anos, devido a nova maneira de planejar e realizar as sessões de aprendizagem diferenciando-se do modelo tradicional. Este enfoque tem sido aplicado em diversos programas de educação superior, os resultados demostram as conquistas que se tem conseguido em termos de aprendizagem graças a sua implementação. O objetivo do presente artigo de investigação é identificar as atitudes que tem os estudantes do segundo período acadêmico de Estudos Gerais de uma universidade pública peruana, logo após ter experimentado a aprendizagem invertida na disciplina de Linguagem e Comunicação no semestre acadêmico de 2018-II. Este estudo é quase-experimental e de abordagem mista. Foi aplicado um questionário, elaborado por Farrah y Qawasmeh (2018), para coletar os dados referentes as atitudes de 70 estudantes divididos em duas salas de aulas as quais tiveram o curso ministrado pelo mesmo docente. Os resultados indicam que grande parte desses estudantes consideram que o enfoque pedagógico de aprendizagem invertida é altamente benéfico para o seu processo de aprendizagem, pois promove o desenvolvimento das habilidades necessárias na sua formação profissional e sugerem principalmente que sua eficácia depende da autonomia que tenha como estudante para desenvolver as atividades prévias e das facilidades que tenham para acessar a internet.El enfoque denominado aprendizaje invertido ha estado llamando la atención del personal docente en los últimos años, debido a su novedosa forma de programar y ejecutar las sesiones de aprendizaje, lo que ha marcado una diferencia con el modelo tradicional.

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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
