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
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
THAI STUDENTS’ STRATEGIES IN LEARNING ENGLISH VOCABULARY
Full text linkEnglish is the most learned language by EFL learners in multilingual countries, including Thailand. To communicate with others in English fluently, students have to learn English vocabulary. Since learning English vocabulary is difficult, it can be overcome with suitable learning strategies. One research question to be answered in this research is “What are the learning strategies undertaken by Thai students to learn English vocabulary?” This mixed-method research employed a Likert-scale questionnaire distributed to 18 Thai students, and the FGD interview was conducted via Zoom with 3 Thai students. The questionnaire contained 21 items of Likert-scale statements and two open-ended questions. The findings showed that the strategy they frequently use is the metacognitive strategy, while the strategy they rarely use is the memory strategy. It is recommended that future researcher interested in expanding this topic do extensive research to determine its trustworthiness and provide further information about the topic

Full text linkKorelasi Peningkatan Berat Badan Dengan Respon Terapi Pada Pasien Skizofrenia Yang Menggunakan Antipsikotik Atipikal
No full textSkizofrenia merupakan kondisi kronik dimana seseorang yang hidup dengan kondisi ini memerlukan terapi jangka panjang dengan obat antipsikotik. Antipsikotik konvensional (Tipik) berhubungan dengan efek samping sindrom ekstrapiramidalsedangkan antipsikotik atipikal menunjukkan potensi yang lebih rendah dalam menimbulkan efek samping ekstrapiramidal dan diskinesia tardif. Terdapat efek samping lain yang menjadi perhatian klinisi pada penggunaan antipsikotik atipik yaitu efek samping metabolik yaitu peningkatan berat badan dan dislipidemia. Mekanisme terjadinya peningkatan berat badan akibat antipsikotik atipik adalah melalui stimulasi nafsu makan, penurunan aktifitas fisik dan secara langsung mempengaruhi regulasi metabolik. Keseimbangan harian antara konsumsi kalori dan penggunaannya mempengaruhi berat badan individu, ketidakseimbangan kecil sekalipun dapat menyebabkan perubahan berat badan yang signifikan. Sebagian besar penelitian fokus terhadap terjadinya peningkatan berat badan sebagai efek samping, namun terdapat sejumlah penelitian yang menunjukkan bahwa terdapat hubungan signifikan antara peningkatan berat badan dan respon terapi. mengetahui korelasi antara peningkatan berat badan dengan respon terapi pada pasien Skizofrenia yang mendapatkan pengobatan Antipsikotik atipikal.Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian analitik observasional dengan pendekatan cohort prospekif. Sampel pada penelitian adalah pasien Skizofrenia yang berjumlah 30. Pengukuran berat badan dengan timbangan berat badan digital dan penilaian respon terapi menggunakan skor PANNS.Pada minggu ke 2 dan minggu ke 4 setelah terapi menggunakan antipsikotik atipikal korelasi antara peningkatan berat badan dan penurunan PANSS bermakna dengan kekuatan korelasi sedang (minggu 2, r=0,595, p<0,001, minggu 4, r=0,569, p<0,001). Pada minggu ke 6 setelah menggunakan antipsikotik atipikal terdapat korelasi yang bermakna dengan kekuatan korelasi yang kuat antara peningkatan berat badan dan penurunan PANSS pada pasien skizofrenia (r=0,692 dan <0,001).Terdapat korelasi antara peningkatan berat badan dan respon terapi pada pasien skizofrenia yang menggunakan antipsikotik atipikal
