    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

    PENINGKATAN HASIL BELAJAR SISWA MENGGUNAKAN BAHAN AJAR TEMATIK TERPADU BERBASIS MODEL DISCOVERY LEARNING DI KELAS IV SEKOLAH DASAR

    No full text
    Guru dituntut berperan dalam mengembangkan bahan ajar yang efektif untuk mendorong kemajuan belajar siswa. Kenyataannya bahan ajar yang ada belum mampu melibatkan siswa secara aktif dalam proses pembelajaran. Oleh sebab itu, perlu dicari solusi berupa pengembangan bahan ajar tematik terpadu dengan model Discovery Learning di kelas IV Sekolah Dasar.Jenis penelitian yang digunakan adalah penelitian pengembangan (research and development). Rancangan yang telah didesain kemudian divalidasi oleh 3 orang ahli dan 2 orang praktisi yang terdiri dari validasi bahan ajar dan Rencana Pelaksanaan Pembelajaran (RPP). Kepraktisan dilihat melalui hasil analisis keterlaksaan RPP, angket respon siswa dan guru. Keefektifan dilihat melalui hasil analisis observasi aktivitas dan hasil belajar siswa.Hasil yang diperoleh, validasi RPP diperoleh rata-rata sebesar 3,68 dengan kategori sangat valid. Validasi bahan ajar diperoleh rata-rata 3,66 dengan kategori sangat valid. Pada tahap praktikalitas, diperoleh hasil bahwa bahan ajar sudah praktis untuk digunakan. Penggunaan bahan ajar tematik terpadu dapat meningkatkan aktivitas dan hasil belajar siswa. Tingkat ketuntasan hasil belajar siswa mencapai 85%. Ini berarti bahan ajar tematik terpadu efektif dalam meningkatkan hasil belajar siswa . Dari hasil penelitian diperoleh bahwa bahan ajar tematik terpadu yang dikembangkan telah valid, praktis dan efektif digunakan sebagai salah satu bahan ajar tematik terpadu di kelas IV sekolah dasa

    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
