An Error Analysis of Writing Products Made By Indonesian Islamic University Students
Full text linkThe mismatch between the grammar used in writing English and the structure of Indonesian was often the leading cause of errors in writing. This article further analyzed the error analysis of writing products made by Indonesian Islamic university students of EFL More specifically, this study attempted to describe the types of grammatical errors in written products, the frequent types of grammatical errors, and the students’ awareness of errors. Two methods, quantitative and qualitative, were applied to accomplish this. Written tests and semi-structured interviews were used to collect the data. Students’ written Production was analyzed for errors based on the Surface Strategy Taxonomy Theory proposed by Dulay, Burt, and Krashen. The findings of this study revealed that students from Indonesian Islamic universities displayed a range of errors in their written products. The most prevalent errors identified were Misformation errors within the writing products of these EFL students. The errors committed by the students in their written outputs were further substantiated by the results of interviews, indicating that, whether aware or unaware, the students struggled to recognize and self-correct their grammatical errors in their written product. This study has provided significant insights into teaching English in general and specifically in writing instruction. By understanding the types of sentence errors commonly made by students, educators can focus on critical teaching points and effectively monitor their student’s adherence to the lessons delivered
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
Term and Conditions Governing Mobile and Personal Internet Banking: Forensic Linguistic study
No full textThe Services provide an additional means for the Customer to operate accounts, conduct transactions and dealings and obtain services, products, information, goods, benefits and privileges from the Bank and/or other members of the HSBC Group as shall be made available from time to time. This research used descriptive qualitative method. This study used lexical semantics (verbal communication such as sounds,words, language and speech) in visual media. The research aim is to identified term and conditions governing mobile and personal internet banking: forensic linguistic study. This research method used qualitative by describing the data. The result shows that the previous meeting related to the AUSIT code of ethics, it has explained clearly about the things which have to be considered by the interpreter in doing the interpretation in legal domain especially the things which refers to the linguistics issues. While in Association of Indonesia Translators (HPI) code of ethics, they mentioned some different things to AUSIT code of ethics, such as how does the interpreter behave in his or her work environment. It is explained that the interpreter has to refuse any interpreting job which contrast to the legal regulation instead it is based on the law enforcer requirement. However, in HPI code of ethics also mentioned some similar things with AUSIT code of ethics, such as about the impartiality. It is explained that the interpreter should be neutral in doing an interpreting. He or she must express nothing through his or her voice, neither laughing or anything
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
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
