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
Decription of Students’ Learning Style
Full text linkAbstrakBelajar adalah perubahan mental yang terjadi sebagai repreentasi dan hubungan dari hasil pengalaman dalam jangka panjang. Vermunt mengklasifikasikan empat tipe belajar: meaning-directed, application-directed, reproduction-directed dan undirected learning. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menggali secara deskriptif bagaimana tipe belajar mahasiswa di FK-UNAND. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kuantitatif dengan pendekatan studi potong lintang dan mendeskripsikan tipe belajar empat orang mahasiswa. Kuesioner ILS dari Vermunt dibagikan kepada enam mahasiswa dan hanya empat kuesioner yang kembali serta bisa dianalisis. Dari hasil penelitian didapatkan: (1) mahasiswa A mempunyai tipe beajar yang tidak spesifik, mahasiswa ini lebih cenderung ke tipe undirected dan reproduction directed, (2) mahasiswa B menunjukkan lebih mahir dalam kegiatan belajar, tipe belajarnya lebih mengarah kepada reproduction dan application directed, (3) mahasiswa C mendapatkan nilai yang lebih tinggi pada tipe undirected, (4) mahasiswa D menunjukkan mahasiswa yang lebih mampu untuk melakukan self regulation, construction of knowledge dan mempunyai motivasi internal yang baik, namun skor yang diperoleh masih terkategori tipe undirected. Kesimpulan penelitian ini ialah terdapat tumpang tindih pola belajar pada mahasiswa, namun profile yang tepat ditunjukkan pada skor yang dominan. Rekomendasi untuk perbaikan proses belajar mengajar di FK-UNAND disampaikan berdasarkan hasil penelitian yang diperoleh.Kata kunci: ILS, mahasiswa, tipe belajar AbstractDefinition of learning is as changing of mental representation or associations for long term as a result of experience. Vermunt states four learning styles: meaning-directed, application-directed, reproduction-directed and undirected learning styles. The objective of this study was to explore descriptively how is students’ learning style in the MFAU. The research approach was qualitative method and apply cross sectional studies as well as concern at the descriptive of learning style of four MFAU students. The Vermunt’s ILS questionnaire was administered to the six medical students. Four questionnaires were returned and usable for further analysis. The results of the survey that, firstly, student A adopts unspecific learning process and she is more undirected and reproduction directed type. Secondly, the student B performances more advance at learning activities. Her score is higher at reproduction and application directed type. Thirdly, student C gets higher score at undirected type. Then, student D performs an expert learner due to self-regulation, construction of knowledge and personal interested, but the student is still more undirected type.All in all, it was found some overlapping of learning styles among students surveyed, the means of profile showed the dominant type of learning of each student. The results of the survey should provide advises for students and teachers to improve the learning-teaching process in the MFAU as succinctly presented earlier.Keywords: learning style, ILS, student</p
INTERPROFESSIONAL EDUCATION IN MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCE EDUCATION: REVIEWING THE PROGRESS IN ASEAN
No full textVariations 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
