No full textهدف البحث إلى التعرف على واقع البحث العلمي في الجامعات الرسمية في الأردن والتوقعات المستقبلية للبحث العلمي في الجامعات الرسمية في الأردن خلال الربع الأول من القرن الحادي والعشرين وكذلك التعرف على التوقعات المرغوب فيها من التوقعات المستقبلية للبحث العلمي في الجامعات الرسمية في الأردن خلال الربع الأول من القرن الحادي والعشرين.
تكون مجتمع البحث من جميع أعضاء هيئة التدريس من مرتبة أستاذ واستاذ مشارك في كل من الجامعة الأردنية، وجامعة اليرموك، وجامعة مؤتة، البالغ عددهم (874) فرداً، حيث تم سحب عينة ممثلة بنسبة (50%) من المجتمع الكلي تساوي(438) فرداً، طبقت عليهم اداة تكونت من (13) فقرة لمعرفة واقع البحث العلمي، واستخلصت نتائجها باستخدام الأوساط المرجحة والأوزان المئوية. في حين تم تطبيق أداة أخرى على (20) خبيراً في التعليم الجامعي لتحديد التوقعات المستقبلية والتوقعات المرغوب فيها. وقد أشارت النتائج المتعلقة بدراسة واقع البحث العلمي في الجامعات الأردنية إلى أن درجة تطبيق مهام وظيفة البحث العلمي جاءت معظمها تمثل درجة تطبيق مقبولة، تفوق الوسط المرجح (3) والوزن المئوي (60) الافتراضيين، وان المهام التي حصلت على درجات دون القيم الافتراضية قليلة. في حين أشارت النتائج المتعلقة بتحديد التوقعات المستقبلية إلى حصول الاتفاق على معظم فقرات الأداة باستثناء فقرتين خلال الجولة الأولى، حيث تم الاتفاق عليها خلال الجولة الثانية، كما اظهرت النتائج المتعلقة بتحديد التوقعات المستقبلية المرغوب فيها إلى حصول الاتفاق التام على جميع فقرات الأداة خلال الجولة الأولى.The study aimed at answering the following:
• What is the status of scientific research at Jordanian public Universities?
• What are the expectations of scientific research at the public Universities of Jordan for the first quarter of the 21st century?
• What are the preferred expectations for the first quarter of the 21st century?
The population consisted of the teaching staff of the University of Jordan, Yarmouk University and Mu'ta University (N=874). The sample was randomly drawn from the population (N=438). The instrument consisted of (13) items concerning the status of scientific research. Another instrument was administered to (20) experts of university instruction to identify futuer expectations and the preferred ones using Delphi technique with two rounds.
The results related to examining the status of scientific research at Jordan showed that the degree of performing the tasks of scientific research was fair above the hypothesized average (3) and percentage (60). The tasks that received the hypothesized values were few. Results of future expectations indicated consensus on all but two items of the instrument during the first round, but full consensus in the second. Regarding preferred expectations of the future there was consensus on all items in the first round

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
