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
Tahap Penerimaan Guru Pendidikan Islam (GPI) Terhadap Kaedah Iqra’ : Satu Sorotan Kajian Terdahulu: [The Acceptance Level of Islamic Education Teachers (IET) Towards the Iqra’ Method: A Review of Previous Studies]
Full text linkThis study aims to evaluate the level of acceptance of Islamic education teachers towards the teaching method of the Qur\u27an, particularly through the Iqra\u27 approach. Involving the analysis of factors such as knowledge, attitudes, environmental influences, teaching strategies, and teacher readiness, this study highlights critical findings that provide deep insight into the dynamics of teaching the Qur\u27an among Islamic education teachers in Malaysia. In evaluating teachers\u27 knowledge, the study found a good understanding of the objectives and teaching strategies of the Iqra\u27 method, although there is still a need to improve the quality of teacher education. The teacher\u27s attitude was rated as moderate, with some teachers showing a lack of emphasis on certain aspects such as the pronunciation of makhraj and fasah. Environmental influences, including workload and stress, play an important role in teaching effectiveness. Here, an emphasis on workload anagement and the development of teacher professionalism is needed. In the teaching strategy dimension, the findings highlight the need for an increase in the use of technology, a variety of learning approaches, and more effective strategies to ensure better learning. The willingness and motivation of teachers towards the Iqra\u27 method is highly valued, although there needs to be an increase in the use of teaching aids and the preparation of daily lesson plans. By detailing and analyzing these factors, this study outlines strategic steps to increase the level of teacher acceptance of the Iqra\u27 method. It is hoped that the results of this study can provide a significant contribution in improving the quality of Quran teaching among Islamic education teachers and strengthen the learning approach in the Malaysian education system.
ABSTRAK
Kajian ini bertujuan untuk menilai tahap penerimaan guru pendidikan Islam terhadap kaedah pengajaran al-Quran, khususnya melalui pendekatan Iqra\u27. Ia melibatkan analisis faktor-faktor seperti pengetahuan, sikap, pengaruh persekitaran, strategi pengajaran, dan kesediaan guru. Kajian ini menyoroti temuan kritis yang memberikan wawasan mendalam ke dalam dinamika pengajaran al-Quran di kalangan guru-guru pendidikan Islam di Malaysia. Dalam menilai pengetahuan guru, kajian mendapati pemahaman yang baik terhadap objektif dan strategi pengajaran kaedah Iqra\u27, meskipun masih terdapat keperluan untuk peningkatan kualiti pendidikan guru. Sikap guru dinilai sebagai sederhana, dengan beberapa guru menunjukkan kekurangan penekanan pada aspek tertentu seperti sebutan makhraj dan fasahah. Pengaruh persekitaran dan beban tugas serta tekanan tempat kerja, memainkan peranan penting dalam keberkesanan pengajaran. Di sini, penekanan pada pengurusan beban tugas dan pembangunan profesionalisme guru diperlukan. Dalam dimensi strategi pengajaran, temuan menyoroti perlunya peningkatan dalam penggunaan teknologi, variasi pendekatan pembelajaran dan strategi yang lebih efektif untuk memastikan pembelajaran yang lebih baik. Kesediaan dan motivasi guru terhadap kaedah Iqra\u27 dinilai tinggi, meskipun berlaku peningkatan dalam penggunaan bahan bantu mengajar dan penyediaan rancangan pengajaran harian. Dengan merinci dan menganalisis faktor-faktor ini, kajian ini menggariskan langkah-langkah strategik untuk meningkatkan tahap penerimaan guru terhadap kaedah Iqra\u27. Diharapkan hasil kajian ini dapat memberikan sumbangan yang signifikan dalam meningkatkan kualiti pengajaran al-Quran di kalangan guru pendidikan Islam dan memperkuat pendekatan pembelajaran dalam sistem pendidikan Malaysia
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

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.
