Eurostudent V: Ireland 2013
No full textWithin today’s global ‘knowledge economy’ higher education institutions have a vitally important role to play in shaping tomorrow’s citizens, leaders, entrepreneurs, and workforce; and the quality of the student experience is a primary determinant of their success in this endeavour. Nevertheless, while students are key stakeholders in higher education, the student-voice all too often remains unheard by policy-makers. This Eurostudent report makes an important contribution to addressing this information-deficit, providing a wealth of internationally comparable demographic, economic, and social data. Complementing the Irish Survey of Student Engagement (ISSE), the Eurostudent Survey gives an insight into the quality of life of the increasing diversity of students in Irish higher education, and into how this affects their learning experience. The survey was co-ordinated in Ireland by Insight Statistical Consulting on behalf of the Higher Education Authority (HEA)
Eurostudent IV: Ireland 2009-2010
No full textData for Eurostudent IV was collected via an Internet based survey of thirty higher education institutions from November 2009 to January 2010. In addition, a postal questionnaire was also used with the aim of increasing participation among part-time students who may not often access their academic email. The survey was co-ordinated in Ireland by Insight Statistical Consulting on behalf of the Higher Education Authority. Although the profile of respondents was close to the known population profile, survey responses were weighted to reflect the known population parameters of gender and full/part-time status by institution. The main characteristics of the weighted sample are: approximately 62% of students were enrolled in a University and 38% in an Institute of Technology; approximately 82% of students were classified as full-time and 18% were part-time; females represented 54% of all respondents; approximately 90% of students were domestic students and 10% were international (non-Irish); approximately 81% of students were undergraduates, 13% were post graduates (excluding PhD) and 6% were PhD students. </ul
Eurostudent VIII: Ireland 2022
No full textThe main aim of the EUROSTUDENT project is to collate comparable data from 30 countries on the social dimension of European higher education. It focuses on the socio-economic background and on the living conditions of students. It also investigates other interesting aspects of student life such as international mobility and employment during term-time. The core project provides reliable and insightful cross-country comparisons (disseminated through www.eurostudent.eu) but this report provides results from over 20,000 students attending higher education institutions in Ireland. The survey is co-ordinated in Europe by the German Federal Ministry of Education and marks the eighth such survey of its kind. Ireland is one of 30 countries which participated in the Eurostudent VIII survey, and this report continues the initiative of previous Eurostudent reports through extensively analysing the characteristics of students studying in Ireland by examining the demographic profile of the student population, the courses they are undertaking, their income and expenditure, their accommodation and employment, the route they took into higher education and the extent to which they study abroad as part of their programme. The valid survey-responses were weighted to reflect the known population parameters of inter-locked gender, age, qualification, status (full/part-time) and by type of institution.<br

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
