    The 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

    “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

    We 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

    Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengembangkan dan menerapkan model pembelajaran etnopedagogi dalam pembelajaran kimia untuk menganalisis literasi kimia dan identitas budaya pada materi larutan elektrolit dan nonelektrolit. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan di SMA Negeri 5 Palembang pada semester genap tahun ajaran 2020/2021 dengan subjek penelitian terdiri atas 36 peserta didik kelas X IPA 1. Penelitian dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode analisis kualitatif dengan mengumpulkan data melalui observasi, reflektif jurnal, wawancara guru, laboran, dan peserta didik, serta tes literasi kimia. Pembelajaran kimia dilakukan dengan pendekatan etnopedagogi yang terdiri atas lima tahap, yaitu self-identification, content integration, collaboration, dialogue, dan reflection. Selanjutnya tahapan pembelajaran tersebut dilakukan analisis literasi kimia peserta didik. Hasil analisis literasi kimia peserta didik menunjukkan bahwa pada aspek gagasan ilmiah umum mereka dapat melakukan penyelidikan ilmiah terhadap produk budaya Palembang dengan mengidentifikasi, mengajukan pendapat untuk menjelaskan fenomena, dan berusaha membuat generalisasi temuan melalui identifikasi uji daya hantar listrik larutan elektrolit dan nonelektrolit pada produk budaya tersebut. Pada aspek pengetahuan kimia peserta didik menjelaskan pengaruh fenomena makroskopis terhadap daya hantar larutan, menyelidiki dinamika proses reaksi ionisasi larutan garam, dan menjelaskan proses kimia yang terjadi pada uji elektrolit produk budaya Palembang. Aspek kimia dalam konteks menjelaskan fenomena daya hantar listrik pada larutan elektrolit dan nonelektrolit yang terdapat pada produk budaya Palembang melalui bukti-bukti ilmiah serta memahami relevansi dan kegunaan larutan elektrolit dalam produk budaya. Pada aspek keterampilan belajar tingkat tinggi peserta didik mampu bertanya mengenai fenomena dalam uji elektrolit sederhana dan berusaha mencari informasi dalam berdiskusi tentang larutan elektrolit dan nonelektrolit. Pada aspek afektif peserta didik menunjukkan minat mengenai isu kimia yang dikaitkan pada produk budaya Palembang dengan menganalisis dan memberikan solusi terhadap suatu permasalahan. Berdasarkan tes literasi kimia peserta didik secara keseluruhan menunjukkan sebanyak 14% peserta didik mencapai level sangat baik, 81% peserta didik mencapai level baik, 5% peserta didik mencapai level cukup, dan tidak ada peserta didik yang mecapai lebel kurang baik dan kurang baik sekali. Hasil literasi peserta didik yang meningkat menyebabkan pembelajaran menjadi kontekstual dan bermakna walaupun selama pembelajaran berlangsung secara daring. The purpose of this study was to develop and apply an ethnopedagogical learning model in chemistry learning to analyze chemical literacy and cultural identity on electrolyte and nonelectrolyte solutions learning materials. This research was conducted at SMA Negeri 5 Palembang in the even semester of the 2020/2021 academic year with the research subject consisting of 36 students of class X IPA 1. The study was conducted using qualitative analysis methods by collecting data through observation, reflective journals, interview with teachers, laboratory assistants, and students, as well as a chemical literacy test. Chemistry learning is carried out using an ethnopedagogical approach which consists of five stages, namely self-identification, content integration, collaboration, dialogue, and reflection. Furthermore, the learning stage is carried out by analyzing the chemical literacy of students. The results of the chemical literacy analysis of students showed that in the aspect of general scientific ideas they can conduct scientific investigations of Palembang cultural products by identifying, submitting opinions to explain phenomena, and trying to generalize findings through identification of the electrical conductivity test of electrolyte and nonelectrolyte solutions on these cultural products. In the aspect of chemistry knowledge, students explained the effect of macroscopic phenomena on the conductivity of the solution, investigate the dynamics of the ionization reaction process of salt solution, and explained the chemical processes that occur in the electrolyte test of Palembang culture products. The chemical aspect in the context of explaining the phenomenon of electrical conductivity in electrolyte and nonelectrolyte solutions found in Palembang cultural products through scientific evidence and understanding the relevance and usefulness of electrolyte solutions in cultural products. In the aspect of high-level learning skills, students were able to ask questions about phenomena in simple electrolyte tests and try to find information in discussions about electrolyte and nonelectrolyte solutions. In the affective aspect, students showed interest in chemical issues associated with Palembang cultural products by analyzing and providing solutions to a problem. Based on the overall chemical literacy test of students, it shows that 14% of students achieved a very good level, 81% of students reached a good level, 5% of students reached a sufficient level, and none of the students achieved a bad and not very good level. Increased student literacy results cause learning to be contextual and meaningful even during online learning

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    We 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

    We 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

    Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902

    No full text
    In Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
