No full text[[abstract]]This paper proposes a web-based multimedia authoring and presentation framework to facilitate online pieces creation, sharing, and reuse in e-learning applications. Through the easy-to-use interface of the cutomized tools, students are allowed to create their own pieces online and then Share with friends in a very easy way. To make the presentation of the piece more interesting, the authoring tool provides the capturing mechanism that record all Significant authoring steps as synchronization information: temporal and spatial relations between composed objects. Synchronization module in rendering function enables users (author and receiver) to replay a vivid, animated multimedia presentation in a form of as close as possible to the original sense. A prototype has been implemented in a website especially designed for young student art learning, which has being conducted by the Military of Education, Taiwan, since 2003. The experimental results show that this hands-or, experience in creating and sharing indeed benefits the efficacy of web-based e-learning.[[note]]SC
Efficient methods for skimming the Web-based synchronization multimedia lectures
No full text[[abstract]]With the development of streaming technologies and e-learning platforms, more and more multimedia lectures integrating different media are accessible on the web. The massive multimedia lectures with huge and lengthy media decrease the learning efficiency. In this paper, two access modes are provided to help users to search significant information in multimedia lectures rapidly. We apply the temporal relationship among multimedia to search information in different granularities, and detect the significant segments by the analysis concerning the intonation and navigation events of lecturers to offer the user an abridged version of to comprehend a multimedia lecture. The integration of these two modes has been practically applied to Web-based Synchronization Multimedia Lecture system for facilitating the access and browse of multimedia lecture.[[note]]SC
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

No full textDispelling 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
