Pola Komunikasi Pada Komunitas Daring Pelajar Pendidikan Jarak Jauh (StudiNetnografi Pada Komunitas Daring Mahasiswa Universitas Terbuka)
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pola komunikasi dari komunitas daring mahasiswa Pendidikan
Jarak Jauh (PJJ) atau distance learning. Walaupun PJJ membuka kesempatan bagi mahasiswa untuk
mendapatkan pengalaman belajar yang terbuka serta tidak terikat batasan waktu dan wilayah,
penggunaan moda pembelajaran ini berarti ada jarak antara sesama mahasiswa untuk saling berinteraksi
dengan satu sama lain. Teknologi komunikasi, seperti grup WhatsApp, menjadi opsi yang menggantikan
interaksi tatap muka antar mahasiswa dengan komunikasi virtual melalui komunitas daring. Penelitian ini
menggunakan konsep pola komunikasi kelompok menurut DeVito untuk memahami secara mendalam
interaksi sesama mahasiswa PJJ di komunitas daring. Penelitian ini menerapkan pendekatan kualitatif
konstruktivis dengan metode netnografi berupa data observasi interaksi dari lima grup WhatsApp
mahasiswa Universitas Terbuka serta wawancara dengan dua orang pendiri dan admin grup dari salah
satu WhatsApp tersebut. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa pola komunikasi kelompok yang timbul dari
interaksi dalam komunitas daring mahasiswa Universitas Terbuka di grup WhatsApp adalah pola
komunikasi roda (wheel pattern) dan bintang (star pattern). Pembentukan pola komunikasi di grup
WhatsApp ditentukan oleh topik pembicaraan grup. Pola komunikasi roda muncul pada percakapan
berbentuk tanya-jawab antara sesama anggota grup mengenai informasi teknis perkuliahan di Universitas
Terbuka, sementara itu pola komunikasi bintang cenderung timbul pada diskusi mengenai pengalaman
pribadi saat berkuliah dengan sesama anggota grup
Group Communication Patterns of Universitas Terbuka Students’ Online Community on WhatsApp
This qualitative constructivist research focuses on understanding the group communication patterns that emerged from interaction within distance learning student’s online community. Although distance learning has allowed students to pursue higher education without being bound by time and space constraints, this learning mode also separates students from one another. Communication technology, such as the instant messaging platform WhatsApp, becomes an option for students to replace in-person interaction with virtual interaction. This research uses DeVito’s concept of group communication patterns to analyze the communication between students as a member of an online community on WhatsApp group chat. Based on the online observation data and interviews, this research has found that two group communication patterns emerged from the online community interaction: wheel pattern communication and star pattern communication. The patterns themselves depend on the conversation topic between group members. Wheel pattern typically emerges in a Q&A type of conversation where one member would ask questions and receive responses from multiple group members. Meanwhile, star pattern communication is found only in conversations related to sharing personal experiences as distance learning students.
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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
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
