Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
No full text“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
No full textWe 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

Keywords: Vocabulary Mastery, Context Clues
English is one of the international languages which are used as a means of communication with each other people in the world. English becomes the foreign language which is taught from Elementary School to University. Vocabulary is very important component to be taught because by mastering vocabulary the students can learn language easily. But in fact, teaching English vocabulary in Junior High School, the writer found that most of the students got difficulty in mastering vocabulary. The teacher explained the material without giving the interesting strategy to support her teaching. This made the students got bored. So, the writer applied Context Clues in teaching English to improve the vocabulary mastery.
The objectives of this research are (i) to know whether Context Clues can improve the vocabulary mastery of the eighth grade students of MTs Hasyim Asyari 2 Kudus in the academic year 2012/2013. (ii) To know how the Context Clues can improve the vocabulary mastery of the eighth grade students of MTs Hasyim Asyari 2 Kudus in the academic year 2012/2013.
The writer conducted a classroom action in MTs Hasyim Asyari 2 Kudus in the academic year 2012/2013, especially in VIII C. This research consisted of three cycles such as planning, acting, observing, and reflecting. Each of cycles had the instrument such as observation, test, and questionnaire.
The data of this research was taken from the result of observation sheet, achievement test and questionnaire of those three cycles conducted. In the result, the students’ vocabulary mastery improves from cycle I until cycle III. In cycle I, the average score of achievement test is 62.94 and the achievement category is sufficient. In cycle II, the average score of achievement test is 76.62 and the achievement category is good. The writer ends the action process in the cycle III because the students’ vocabulary mastery in cycle III improve from the students’ vocabulary mastery in cycle II that is the average score of achievement test is 76.62 becomes 85.15. It means the achievement category is excellent.
Context Clues can improve the vocabulary mastery of the students, so it is suggested that the English teacher uses Context clues as the alternative teaching strategy in teaching English to improve the students’ vocabulary mastery. Thus, the writer suggests that a teacher should be creative, active, and always gives motivation to the students in order to create enjoyable learning in teaching English to improve the vocabulary mastery.

Kata kunci: Penguasaan Kosakata dan Context clues.
Bahasa Inggris adalah salah satu bahasa internasional yang digunakan sebagai sarana untuk berkomunikasi dengan berbagai orang di dunia. Bahasa Inggris menjadi bahasa asing yang diajarkan dari Sekolah Dasar sampai Universitas. Kosakata adalah komponen yang sangat penting untuk diajarkan karena dengan menguasai kosakata, siswa dapat belajar bahasa dengan mudah. Tetapi kenyataannya, mengajar kosakata bahasa Inggris di Sekolah Menengah Pertama, penulis menemukan bahwa sebagian besar murid mengalami kesulitan dalam menguasai kosakata. Guru menjelaskan materi pelajaran tanpa memberikan strategi yang menarik untuk mendukung pengajarannya. Ini membuat siswa mudah bosan. Jadi, penulis menerapkan Context Clues dalam mengajar bahasa Inggris untuk meningkatkan penguasaan kosakata.
Tujuan dari penelitian adalah (i) untuk mengetahui apakah Context Clues dapat meningkatkan penguasaan kosakata siswa kelas VIII MTs Hasyim Asyari 2 Kudus di tahun ajaran 2012/2013. (ii) untuk mengetahui bagaimana Context Clues dapat meningkatkan penguasaan kosakata siswa kelas VIII MTs Hasyim Asyari 2 Kudus di tahun ajaran 2012/2013.
Penulis melaksanakan penelitian tindakan kelas di MTs Hasyim Asyari 2 Kudus di tahun ajaran 2012/2013, khususnya di VIII C. Penelitian ini terdiri dari tiga siklus yaitu perencanaan, tindakan, pengamatan dan refleksi. Setiap siklus memiliki instrument seperti obsevasi, tes dan kuesioner.
Data pada penelitian ini diambil dari hasil lembar pengamatan, tes prestasi dan kuesioner pada ketiga siklus yang dilaksanakan. Hasilnya, penguasaan kosakata siswa meningkat dari siklus I ke siklus II. Di siklus II, angka rata-rata tes prestasi adalah 62,94 dan kategory prestasinya adalah cukup. Di siklus II, angka rata-rata tes prestasi adalah 76,62 dan kategory prestasinya adalah bagus. Penulis mengakhiri proses tindakan di siklus III karena pengusaan kosakata siswa di siklus III meningkat dari penguasaan kosakata di siklus II yaitu angka rata-rata tes prestasi 76, 62 menjadi 85, 15. Ini berarti kategori prestasinya adalah luar biasa.
Context Clues dapat meningkatkan penguasaan siswa, jadi ini disarankan kepada guru bahasa Inggris untuk menggunakan Context Clues sebagai pilihan strategi pengajaran bahasa Inggris untuk meningkatkan penguasaan kosakata siswa. Oleh karena itu, penulis menyarankan guru harus kreatif, aktif, dan selalu memberikan motivasi kepada siswa untuk menciptakan pembelajaran yang menyenangkan dalam mengajar bahasa Inggris untuk meningkatkan penguasaan kosakata
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe 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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn 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.
