Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
PENGARUH KEPEMIMPINAN DIGITAL DAN MOTIVASI KERJA TERHADAP KREATIVITAS GURU DI SMAN 1 PASAMAN BARAT
No full textSchools are required to adapt to the dynamics of the digital era through the implementation of leadership that can direct, facilitate, and inspire educators to be able to utilize technology creatively and productively. This study aims to describe and analyze the influence of the principal's digital leadership and work motivation on teacher creativity at SMAN 1 Pasaman Barat. The research approach used was qualitative with in-depth interviews to comprehensively explore teachers' experiences, views, and interpretations regarding digital leadership practices and the motivational drives that influence their creativity in learning activities. Research informants were selected purposively, consisting of the principal and several teachers actively involved in the implementation of digital-based learning. The results of the study indicate that the principal's digital leadership plays a significant role in fostering teacher motivation and creativity. The principal functions not only as an administrative decision-maker but also as an agent of change capable of building a collaborative, open, and innovation-oriented digital work culture. The principal's support in the form of training, guidance, and providing space for creative freedom has been proven to increase teacher enthusiasm in developing technology-based learning. On the other hand, teacher work motivation emerged as a reinforcing factor that channels positive energy towards the birth of new ideas
ANALISIS RASIONALITAS DAN EFEKTIVITAS PENGAMBILAN KEPUTUSAN KEPALA SEKOLAH DI SMPN 1 KECAMATAN GUGUAK
No full textA principal's managerial success is determined by their ability to make rational, appropriate, and effective decisions to achieve educational goals. However, this process is not always perfectly rational, as it is influenced by limitations in information, time, and resources. Decision-making is essentially a choice from several alternatives. This study aims to analyze the rationality and effectiveness of decision-making by the principal of SMPN 1 Guguak District based on Herbert A. Simon’s Decision-Making Model. The research employs a descriptive qualitative approach through a literature study, examining theories, research findings, and relevant practices in educational leadership. Data were analyzed using content analysis techniques from various scientific literature sources. The results show that the principal applies the principle of bounded rationality in every decision made. The decision-making process follows the five stages of Simon’s model: intelligence, design, choice, implementation, and evaluation. The effectiveness of the principal’s decisions is reflected in the implementation of policies, acceptance by the school community, and their impact on improving teacher performance and the overall quality of education. Thus, adaptive and data-based rationality is proven to enhance the effectiveness of the principal’s decision-making within the context of modern educational management
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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
