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
Pengembangan Multimedia Interaktif pada Pembelajaran Tematik Indahnya Negeriku untuk Siswa Kelas IV SDN Model Kota Malang
No full textABSTRAK Kuncahyono.2015. Pengembangan Multimedia Interaktif pada Pembelajaran Tematik Indahnya Negeriku untuk Siswa Kelas IV SDN Model Kota Malang. Tesis. Program Studi Pendidikan Dasar, Pascasarjana, Universitas Negeri Malang. Pembimbing: (I) Prof. Dr. Budi EkoSoetjipto. M.Ed., M.Si.,(II) Prof. Dr. Sudarmiatin, M.Si. Kata kunci: Multimedia Interaktif, Pembelajaran Tematik, Indahnya Negeriku Kemajuan teknologi informasi dan komunikasi membawa dampak munculnya peralatan teknologi seperti komputer/laptop dan LCD proyektor. Peralatan teknologi tersebut banyak dimanfaatkan oleh para praktisi pendidikan di sekolah. Hasil studi pendahuluan di SDN Model Kota Malang memiliki fasilitas teknologi berupa laboratorium komputer, ruang kelas dilengkapi LCD Proyektor, komputer, dan speaker aktif, namun laboratorium komputer belum dimanfaatkan dalam pembelajaran tematik. Hasil observasi dan analisis kebutuhan ditemukan: (1) pembelajaran tematik cenderung konvensional, menggunakan metode ceramah, (2) guru belum pernah menggunakan dan membuat multimedia interaktif tematik, (3) siswa kurang bersemangat dan kesulitan memahami materi karena materi dalam buku teks tematik terbatas sehingga hasil belajar kurang maksimal, (4) siswa senang belajar menggunakan komputer. Dari masalah tersebut perlu untuk segera dicarikan solusi yaitu dengan mengembangkan multimedia interaktif dalam pembelajaran tematik yang valid, praktis, efektif, dan menarik. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah menghasilkan produk multimedia interaktif tematik yang valid, praktis, efektif, dan menarik. Model yang digunakan dalam penelitian pengembangan ini adalah model ASSURE yaitu (1) analisis karakteristik siswa, (2) menentukan tujuan pembelajaran, (3) memilih strategi, teknologi, media, dan materi, (4) menggunakan teknologi, media, dan materi, (5) memerlukan partisipasi siswa, (6) menilai dan merevisi. Model ini dipilih selain langkah-langkahnya jelas dan mudah diimplementasikan juga sesuai dengan perpaduan antara penggunaan media dan teknologi di ruang kelas. Hasil penelitian dan pengembangan yang dilaksanakan pada pembelajaran tematik menunjukkan bahwa produk multimedia Interaktif memperoleh 81,5% valid. Hasil Uji coba lapangan untuk kepraktisan memperoleh hasil 87,15% dengan kriteria praktis. Kemenarikan memperoleh hasil 92,6% dengan kriteria menarik. Berdasarkan ujit test berpasangan, multimedia interaktif tematik indahnya negeriku efektif digunakan dalam pembelajaran karena dapat meningkatkan hasil belajar siswa. Hasil temuan lain dalam pembelajaran, siswa dapat meningkatkan pengetahuan materi tematik IPS yang berisi kekayaan sumber daya alam, kegiatan perekonomian masyarakat sekitar, keadaan geografis suatu wilayah,dan sejarah/asal usul kejadian suatu tempat. Agar penggunaan multimedia lebih maksimal, sebaiknya perlu memahami petunjuk penggunaan dengan baik. Materi dan program dalam produk perlu dikembangkan lebih lanjut agar dapat disebarluaskan pada Sekolah Dasar yang menerapkan Kurikulum 2013
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
