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
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
Development of Test of Oral Proficency (TOP)
No full textBachman & Palmer (1996)의 시험 유용도(Test Usefulness) 개념을 구성하는 6가지 요소-타당도(Validity), 신뢰도(Reliability), 진정성(내용 타당도; Authenticity), 상호작용(Interactiveness), 실용성(Practicality), 교육에 미치는 영향 (Impact)을 모두 고려하여서 의사소통능력을 잘 측정하는 이상적인 평가 도구를 개발한다는 것은 결코 쉬운 일이 아닐 것이다. 예컨대， 타당도를 제고하기 위해서는 측정대상인 의사소통능력의 구성 요소를 정확히 분석한 모델이 있어야 하며， 상호작용을 극대화하기 위해서는 수험자의 능력과 시험방식간의 상호작용이 실제의 의사소통 상황을 잘 재현하는 시험방식 양상을 고려해야 하며， 진정성(내용타당도)을 높이기 위해서는 시험에서 주어진 내용(input)과 기
대되는 수험자의 응답이 모두 실제 의사소통 상황을 잘 반영하도록 고려해야하며， 신뢰도와 실용성을 높이기 위해서는 유능한 평가 인원과 평가에 걸리는 시간 및 장소 등의 현실적인 제약조건을 고려해야 한다. 이런 여러 가지 조건을 모두 완벽하게 만족하는 시험방식을 개발하는 것은 현실적으로 거의 불가능할 것이다. 특히， 다차원적인 말하기 능력을 측정하기 위한 좋은 시험의 개발은 더욱더 어렵다. 그럼에도 불구하고， 박남식외1997)의 필요분석에 의하면 현실적으로 말하기 능력의 평가에 대한 필요가 매우 크므로, 타당한 평가 도구의 개발은 절실히 요구되고 있다. 우리 나라에서는 아직까지 회화능력의 평가를 위한 체계적인 연구가 없는 바， 우리 나라 수험자들의 수험목적과 다르게 외국에서 개발된 시험을 무조건 사용한다는 것은 타당하지도 않을뿐아니라， 국가경

Six imφrtant factors to be considered in exploring a tests usefulness inc1ude the content validity, reliability, authenticity, test--test taker interacti- veness, practicality, and educational impact(or washback effect) (Bachman & Palmer 1996). It is virtually impossible to develop a perfect measurement tool which fulfills all of the six criteria, especially in measuring sophisticated communicative language ability such as oral proficiency
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.
