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
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
Problems in Pronouncing the English Sounds Faced by the Students of SMPN 2 Halong, Banjar
No full textThis study entitled "Problems in Pronouncing the English Sounds Faced by the Students Of SMPN 2 Halong, Banjar" is intended to find out the problems in pronouncing the English sounds faced by the students of SMPN 2 Halong, Banjar. This research uses a qualitative method with contrastive analysis. The data were taken from the recorded student's voice. The researcher used recording, transcribing, and analyzing techniques. The researcher analyzed the data: 1. comparing English sounds and students pronunciation, 2. finding out the consonant, vowel, and diphthongs mispronounced by the students, 3. finding out students' difficulties in pronouncing the English sounds, 4. finding out the student's problems in pronouncing English sounds, five and drawing a conclusion. The Subjects of this research are Banjar students in ninth grade at SMPN 2 Halong. It was found that the students had problems pronouncing the English sounds of consonants (/t/, /θ/, /ʃ/, /-t/, /f, /ʒ /, /-d/), vowel (/ɒ/, /e/, /oʊ/) and diphthong( /eɪ/, /oʊ/, /ə r /). The sounds /θ/ are pronounced as [t], /ʃ/ is as [s], /ɒ / as [u], /oʊ/ as [aw], /ʒ/ as [s], while /t/, /eɪ /, /-t/, /-d/ and /ər/ are pronounced they are written. The error can be caused by the absence of the sound in their mother tongue
Pendekatan semantik terhadap kata Rajā' dalam Al-Qur'an
Full text linkRajāʼ dapat berarti berharap atau optimisme. Rajāʼ atau optimisme adalah perasaan hati yang senang karena menanti sesuatu yang diinginkan dan disengangi. Ketika sifat rajāʼ tidak dimiliki, yang muncul adalah sifat lawannya, yaitu pesimis, lemah semangat, putus harapan, tidak bergairah, malas, sedih, dan bahkan timbulnya keputusasaan. Pendekatan semantik merupakan salah satu cabang linguistik yang mengkaji tentang makna sebuah bahasa. Dalam penelitian ini penulis menggunakan metode semantik yang di gagas oleh seorang ilmuan asal Jepang yaitu Toshihiko Izutsu. Semantik Alquran menurut Izutsu adalah kajian analitik terhadap istilah-istilah suatu bahasa dengan suatu pandangan yang akhirnya sampai pada pengertian konseptual Weltanschauung Alquran atau pandangan dunia Qur’ani, yaitu visi Qur’ani tentang alam semesta. Menurut Izutsu ada dua makna yang bisa diungkapkan untuk sampai pada pengertian Weltanschauung, yaitu makna dasar dan makna relasional. Dalam penelitian ini penulis berusaha mengungkapkan makna dasar kata rajāʼ dan makna relasional serta implementasinya dalam kehidupan. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif yang berbentuk studi kepustakaan (library research). Dengan menggunakan dua sumber yaitu sumber primer dan sumber sekunder.
Data-data yang telah dikumpulakan dalam berbagai sumber tersebut kemudian ditelaah dan diseleksi serta di interpretasikan sesuai dengan masalah yang dibahas yang kemudian akan di analisis. Dari data yang telah diperoleh, makna dasar dari kata rajāʼ adalah berharap. Sedangkan makna relasionalnya akan direlasikan dengan medan semantiknya diantaranya yaitu: lafadz Allah, rahmat, liqa, hari hari akhir, Rabb, kitab, adzab, khauf dan khosirin. Pada hakikatnya konsep rajā’ dalam Alquran adalah bagaimana cara kita untuk selalu menggantungkan setiap harapan kita kepada Allah. Sebab, hanya Allah yang mengetahui apa yang dibutuhkan oleh setiap makhluk-Nya. Sebab menggantungkan harapan kepada selain Allah hanya akan membuat kita kecewa dan membuat kita putus asa. Orang yang berharap kepada Allah akan menimbulkan segala amal kebajikan seperti berharap mendapatkan rahmat Allah dengan senantiasa beriman, berhirjah serta berjihad di jalan-Nya kemudian lebih mendekatkan diri kepada-Nya dan mengucapkan ucapan yang pantas atau lembut dengan harapan mendapatkan rahmat-Nya. Suatu ibadah tidak sempurna kecuali dengan rasa takut dan harapan. Dengan rasa takut maka akan terhindar dari berbagai larangan dan dengan harapan akan memperbanyak ketaatan. Seperti takut kepada hari akhir dengan mengharapkan keselamatan serta pahala pada hari akhir, kemudian takut terhadap adzab Allah dengan selalu mendekatkan diri kepada Allah dan tidak mendurhakai-Nya
