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
Effects of Model-based Interactive Engagement on Problem Solving and Experimentation Abilities in Learning Introductory University Physics
No full textThis study was designed to test the effectiveness of model-based interactive engagement (MIE) in tutorial and laboratory classes about Newtonian mechanics course for freshman university students. It was a quasi-experimental design of non-randomized, non-equivalent pre-test post-test control group in design one and one group pretest posttest in design two. The experimental group(N = 34, M = 7, F = 24) was exposed to MIE in both designs and control group(N = 45, M = 13, F = 32) was exposed to traditional lecture method in design one. Based on the evidence which was mainly quantitative and partly qualitative and the analyses which was also done separately on both parts of the data, three research questions were answered and correspondingly three research hypotheses were tested separately in design one and design two. The result in design-one showed there was statistically significant mean difference (M.D = 4.81) with medium effect size d = 0.73 in favor of MIE. The ANOVA and independent t-test showed MIE favored male students (with M = 17.8) than female students(with M = 6.3) with p = 0.002 0.05) between performance test and assessment scores showed no significant correlation. The result in design-two showed there was statistically significant mean difference (M.D = 2.65) with large effect size d = 0.99. The ANOVA and independent - test showed MIE improved mean score of male students and female students with no significant difference as evident from p = 0.1 > 0.05. There was significant correlation
between experimentation performance posttest scores and scores of the lab reports as one increased the other increased too (r = 0.531, p = 0.028 < 0.05). The qualitative data from questionnaire and interview of both students and teachers agrees with the findings mainly from the quantitative data except one case in design-one.Este estudio fue diseñado para probar la efectividad del compromiso interactivo basado en modelos (MIE) en clases tutoriales y de laboratorio sobre el curso de mecánica newtoniana para estudiantes universitarios de primer año. Fue un diseño cuasi-experimental de grupo de control pre-test post-test no aleatorizado y no equivalente en el diseño uno y un grupo de pretest post-test en el diseño dos. El grupo experimental (N = 34, M = 7, F = 24) estuvo expuesto a MIE
en ambos diseños y el grupo de control (N = 45, M = 13, F = 32) estuvo expuesto al método de lectura tradicional en el diseño uno. Con base en la evidencia que fue principalmente cuantitativa y en parte cualitativa y los análisis que también se realizaron por separado en ambas partes de los datos, se respondieron tres preguntas de investigación y, en consecuencia, se probaron tres hipótesis de investigación por separado en el diseño uno y el diseño dos. El resultado
en el diseño uno mostró que hubo una diferencia de medias estadísticamente significativa (M.D = 4,81) con un tamaño de efecto medio d = 0,73 a favor de MIE. El ANOVA y la prueba t independiente mostraron que MIE favorecía a los estudiantes masculinos (con M = 17.8) que a las estudiantes femeninas (con M = 6.3) con p = 0.002 0,05) entre las puntuaciones de la prueba de rendimiento y la evaluación no mostró una correlación significativa. El resultado en el diseño dos mostró que había una diferencia de medias estadísticamente significativa (M.D = 2,65) con un tamaño del efecto grande d = 0,99. El ANOVA y la prueba independiente mostraron que MIE mejoró la puntuación media de los estudiantes masculinos y
femeninos sin diferencias significativas, como se evidencia en p = 0.1 > 0.05. Hubo una correlación significativa entre las puntuaciones posteriores a la prueba del rendimiento de la experimentación y las puntuaciones de los informes de laboratorio a medida que uno aumentaba y el otro también aumentaba (r = 0,531, p = 0,028 < 0,05). Los datos cualitativos del cuestionario y la entrevista de estudiantes y profesores concuerdan con los hallazgos principalmente de los datos cuantitativos, excepto en un caso en el diseño uno
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.
