Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe 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
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
Mapping the Discipline of the Olympic Games An Author-Cocitation Analysis
No full textThe authors conducted an author cocitation analysis on prominent authors writing about the Olympics during the 1990s. Author cocitation is an established bibliometric technique that can be used to measure the relative similarities of topics written about by the cited authors. This enables a visual representation of the “intellectual space” of the discipline, in this case the Olympics, to be created for the period under review. So core and peripheral research areas are identified, along with their major contributors. The representation appears as a two-dimensional cluster-enhanced map. Subject expertise was then applied to the results to place labels on the generated clusters of authors and their topics
AN ANALYSIS OF THE TEACHER’S STRATEGY IN TEACHING READING NARRATIVE TEXT OF THE EIGHTH GRADE STUDENTS AT SMPN 2 BUA
No full textABSTRACT
Hurul Fadyla, 2024. “An Analysis of the teacher’s strategy in teaching narrative
text of the Eighth Grade students at SMPN 2 Bua.” A thesis of
English Language Education Study Program of Education and
Teacher Training Faculty of State Islamic Institute of Palopo,
supervised by Dr. Jufriadi, S.S., M.Pd and Husnaini, S.Pd.I., M.Pd.
This study is a qualitative descriptive research that aims to describe the strategy of
teachers in teaching reading narrative text. This research was conducted at SMPN
2 Bua involving eighth grade one English teacher as informants. The method of
data collection used observation, interview, and documentation. Data analysis
technique was using triangulation. The analysis results showed that the strategies
used by teachers’ are read the text, questioning, group work, application,
discussion, checking for understanding, using google lens, and fun time. The
strategy used by these teachers have gone through a research process and are
relevant to reading learning so that students in these schools get good learning
from teachers.

Modelling the relationship of internal marketing and employee performance in the oil and gas industry / Hurul Ain Zainal Abidin
No full textThis study examines the relationship between internal marketing (IM) and employee performance (EP) dimensions, mediated by employee satisfaction (ES), organisational commitment (OC) dimensions and employee motivation (EM). Data was collected by questionnaire from 264 employees of the oil and gas industry, Malaysia. The measurement and structural model assessments were undertaken using SmartPLS 3.0. Direct, indirect and total effects showed that only learning and development (LD) and empowerment (EW) as parts of IM dimensions had a significant relationship with both EP dimensions: in-role (IR) and extra-role (ER), when mediated by EM. The results showed that organisational cultural beliefs (CB), terms and conditions (TC) and internal communications (IC) were not predictors of EP, likewise ES and OC had no mediating effects in the proposed model. Predictive relevance showed ES, LD and TC had a medium f2 effect, therefore merit management’s focus. The current research provides IM initiatives that have effects on EP from employees’ perspectives. Using ES, OC and EM as mediators provides further theoretical contributions to IM and EP literature. Predictive relevant assessment allows management to focus their time and investment on things that really matter. IM as an influencer of EP emphasises the importance of satisfying the internal market in order to improve external conditions such as customer satisfaction. It is recommended for management to find the best IM mix that suits their own unique culture, characteristics and working conditions. The model can be used in different study settings with minimal modifications where necessary to cater for the research objectives
Variations on the Author
No full text“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
Dynamics of Network Formation Processes in the Co-Author Model
No full textThis article studies the dynamics in the formation processes of a mutual consent network in game theory setting: the Co-Author Model. In this article, a limited observation is applied and analytical results are derived. Then, 2 parameters are varied: the number of individuals in the network and the initial probability of the links in the network in its initial state. A simulation result shows a finding that is consistent with an analytical result for a state of equilibrium while it also shows different possible equilibria.Dynamics, Network, Game Theory, Model,Simulation, Equilibrium, Complexity
Customers acceptance on BTC Bakery single bun from 4P's perspectives / Amal Nur Hurul Ain Abdul Rahman
No full textThis study was conducted to get a general overview on the level of customer acceptance towards the BTC Bakery Single Bun that being measures from the 4Ps Perspectives. This research paper is conducted by doing the survey which is using the questionnaires as a medium in gathering data. It involved of 110 respondents that consist of the Customer of BTC Bakery within the area of Sepanggar, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. The instrument used in collecting data is by using a Likert - Scale questionnaires that have been design by the researchers itself. This research paper is using the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) Version 21. The data can be trust as the reliability of the questionnaires reaches .759 and the results showed that the Customer Acceptance towards the BTC Bakery Single Bun can be improve. Thus, the researchers have done a few recommendations towards the organizations just to give some idea upon their marketing strategies based on 4Ps Perspectives which is involved Product, Price, Place (Distribution) and Promotion
Measuring industry-science links through inventor-author relations: A profiling method
No full textIn this pilot study we examine the performance of text-based profiling in recovering a set of validated inventor-author links. In a first step we match patents and publications solely based on their similarity in content. Next, we compare inventor and author names on the highest ranked matches for the occurrence of name matches. Finally, we compare these candidate matches with the names listed in a validated set of inventor-author names. Our text-based profile methodology performs significantly better than a random matching of patents and publications, suggesting that text-based profiling is a valuable complementary tool to the name searches used in previous studies.innovation; industry-science links; text-based profiling;
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe 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
