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
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
SEPARATION STRESS MANAGEMENT AND SMOOTH TRANSITION IN PRESCHOOL CHILDREN AND PARENTAL COUNSELING - THEORY AND RESEARCH
Get PDFMany children and their families experience the state of transition from their family's environment to the school which is the official institution of the organized state. Through the school, the wider socialization, child’s education is taking place at a time characterized by special requirements and needs and with a profound effect on the psych emotional balance of family and child who is in the early stages of their development. Through this paper, an effort is made to record the concerns that family has during the period of the children's transition to school, the preparation made by the family for the transition to an organized educational framework, the expectations of teachers during the transition, the need for a counselling process between school and family and of course, proposals for improvement in managing children's transition from family to school.

CULTIVATING PRESCHOOL STUDENTS' DIGITAL COMPETENCE THROUGH DEVELOPMENTALLY APPROPRIATE SOFTWARE
Get PDFTechnology can be a powerful and engaging tool for collaborative and creative learning, helping students and teachers to access, create and share digital content, and express themselves creatively. In this paper, we will try to refer to the cultivation of digital competence from a very early age based on research data and the developmentally appropriate use of digital tools and software based on learning theories by presenting an indicative map of digital tool use in the classroom based on the European reference frameworks DeSeCo and DigComp Edu.

ADAPTATION AND MENTAL RESILIENCE OF CHILDREN, PARENTS, IN GREEK KINDERGARTEN SCHOOLS DURING THE NEW ERA OF PANDEMIC COVID-19. TEACHERS' VIEWS
Get PDFThe pandemic of Covid-19 has invaded in our lives, with multiple and multidimensional challenges. During the close of school units in Greece at March, teachers were initially used types of distance education, while with the opening of the schools during June they had to face issues, such as the separation of classes, the observance of distances, the use of medical mask, experiencing a new, unprecedented situation. In this paper, reference will be made to key issues of adaptation and mental resilience of children and adults. Then a research carried out will be presented in schools of Primary Education of Athens during the period of June and reopening of school units and teacher’s views on the adaptation of children and parents.
