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
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
Bokanmeldelse. Smart læring. Hvordan IKT og sosiale medier endrer læring
Full text linkSmart læring. Hvordan IKT og sosiale medier endrer læring (Smart learning. How ICT and social media are changing learning). Haakonsen believes that it is a concise, informative and useful book that makes a case for how we can and why we should use ICT and digital media more in schools. Having given a general overview of various theories of learning and teaching paradigms that have relied upon in the past few decades (referred to as ‘industrial society’), the author discusses how the learning potential of the internet and social media is not fully utilised in schools today. Krokan is concerned that ICT works on its own terms, rather than mimicking and replacing operations that have been undertaken in analogy earlier. A computer is more than a digital typewriter, and this is a point that is used in the discussion about how fruitful it can be to ensure that the internet and social media are used more often in teaching.Arne Krokans Smart læring er en kortfattet, informativ og nyttig bok som slår et slag for hvorfor og hvordan vi kan og bør få mer bruk av IKT og digitale medier i skolen. Etter å ha gitt en generell oversikt over ulike læringsteorier og hvilke paradigmer undervisningen har støttet seg til i de siste tiårene (referert til som industrisamfunnet), diskuterer han hvordan læringspotensialet i internett og sosiale medier ikke utnyttes fullt ut i skolen i dag. Krokan er opptatt av at IKT skal fungere på egne premisser, i stedet for å etterligne og erstatte operasjoner som har blitt foretatt analogt tidligere. En PC er mer enn en digital skrivemaskin, og dette er et poeng som brukes i diskusjonen om hvor fruktbart det kan være å legge mer til rette for at internett og sosiale medier kan og bør bli mer brukt i undervisning
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
Lyd som materiale i Kunst og håndverk
Full text linkMålet for avhandlingen er å finne ut mer om hva lyd er, hvordan den kan lages, hva den kan bety og hvordan lyd kan benyttes didaktisk i Kunst og håndverk. Gjennom dette utforskes det om arbeid med lyd og lydkunst kan være en del av faget Kunst og håndverk.
Teori om akustikk, hørsel (Kraus, 2021), sanselighet (Ingold 2011a, 2011b; Dewey, 1987, 2013), fenomenologi (Alvesson & Skjöldberg, 2009; Heidegger, 1977, 2000, 2007) og lydkunst (Cox, 2007; Licht, 2010; LaBelle 2010, 2012) legger grunnlaget for presentasjonen av 4 kvalitative intervjuer (Kvale & Brinkmann, 2015) med lydkunstnere som utgjør det empiriske forskningsmaterialet.
I intervjuene gjøres forsøk på å komme fram til utøvernes oppfatninger rundt hva som kjennetegner arbeid med lyd og hvilken rolle lyd spiller i deres kunstpraksis. I samtalene konstrueres materialet som legges til grunn for en stegvis deduktiv induksjonsanalyse (Tjora, 2019), videre drøfting og generalisering av funn.
Drøftingen ser på lyd fra flere vinkler: naturvitenskapelig, teknologisk, som kunst og som del av læring. Avhandlingen avsluttes med forslag til hvordan arbeid med klingende materialer og lyd kan bidra til kunst- og håndverksundervisningen i grunnskolen.
Oppgaven forankres til fagfeltet gjennom å vise til hvordan lydkunst er en del av kunsthistorien og kunstinstitusjonene, teori om sanselighet, estetiske erfaringer og estetiske læringsprosesser.
Gjennom analysen av forskningsmaterialet kommer det frem at lyd har egenskaper som gjør at å bruke lyd som sensorisk og kunstnerisk materiale kan bidra med flere innfallsvinkler til flere faglige og tverrfaglige tema, og at lyd og lytting kan bidra i estetiske læringsprosesser.
Den praktiske delen av avhandlingen går ut på bygging av fysiske, klingende objekter og går inn på enkel elektronikk. I denne prosessen benyttes begrepet fikling (Resnick & Rosenbaum, 2013; Martinez & Stager, 2019).publishedVersio
