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
Nacherfinden als Experiment: Pragmatische Perspektiven auf den Transfer von Wissen in der Lehrkräftebildung
No full textZiel dieses Artikels ist es, den Herausforderungen und Strategien des Transfers von Innovationen in der Lehrkräftebildung in der Logik des Experiments auf theoretisch-konzeptioneller Basis zu begegnen. Eine konzeptionell-praktische Rahmung findet sich bei Lau und Koisser (2023). Im Fokus steht der Begriff des „Nacherfindens“, der als Experimentationsprozess betrachtet wird, um mit der Unbestimmtheit von Veränderungen umzugehen. Hier erfolgt ein Bezug auf die Ansätze von Jürgen Kussau, John Dewey und Tanja Bogusz, um den Nacherfindungsprozess als eine gerichtete Form der Selbstaneignung zu konkretisieren. Dabei wird betont, dass Unterbrechungen von Routinen und die bewusste Hervorhebung von Unklarheiten in Fortbildungssettings eine Schlüsselrolle spielen. Diese pragmatische Neuordnung stellt den Versuch dar, den Implementationsbemühungen in Lehrer*innenfortbildungen einen produktiven Rahmen zu geben.
The aim of this article is to address the challenges and strategies of transferring innovations in teacher training in the logic of an experiment on a theoretical-conceptual basis.
A conceptual-practical framework can be found in Lau and Koisser (2023). The focus is on the concept of “reinvention,” which is viewed as an experimental process for dealing with the uncertainty of change. This refers to the approaches of Jürgen Kussau, John Dewey, and Tanja Bogusz in order to concretize the reinvention process as a directed form of self-appropriation. It is emphasized that interruptions to routines and the conscious highlighting of ambiguities play a key role in continuing education settings. This pragmatic reorganization represents an attempt to provide a productive framework for implementation efforts in teacher training
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
The Oberstufen-Kolleg provides teacher training. A concept for teacher training by action researchers at and with the Oberstufen-Kolleg
Full text linkDas Forschungs- und Entwicklungsprojekt „Fortbildung durch das Oberstufen-Kolleg“ (FOK), das in den Jahren 2023 bis 2025 von der hier berichtenden Projektgruppe durchgeführt wird, unterstützt und systematisiert den externen Transfer von Ergebnissen der Oberstufen-Kolleg-spezifischen Praxisforschung und leistet einen Beitrag zur Weiterentwicklung von Fortbildungen im Allgemeinen. Grundlage der Arbeit der Projektgruppe bilden Forschungsergebnisse zur Wirksamkeit von Fortbildungen sowie eigene Forschungen zu Fortbildungen, die durch Lehrende des Oberstufen-Kollegs (OSK) bereits aktuell durchgeführt werden. Darauf aufbauend ist es das Ziel der Projektgruppe, ein OSK-spezifisches Fortbildungskonzept inklusive Qualifizierungsstruktur für Fortbildner*innen weiterzuentwickeln und auf seine Umsetzbarkeit hin zu überprüfen. Da das OSK-spezifische Fortbildungskonzept mit seiner Begleitstruktur wesentliche Desiderate aktueller Fortbildungen aufgreift und konzeptuell diesen zu begegnen versucht, können die Ergebnisse der Evaluation der Konzeptumsetzungen wichtige Erkenntnisse für die künftige Gestaltung von Fortbildungen im Allgemeinen auch über das Oberstufen-Kolleg hinausgehend bieten.
