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
Kerangka pentaksiran pendidikan karakter untuk mata pelajaran sains Sekolah Menengah di Kota Batam
Full text linkKajian ini bertujuan untuk membangunkan kerangka pentaksiran pendidikan karakter bagi mata pelajaran sains di sekolah menengah Kota Batam. Kajian ini melibatkan empat fasa yang dijalankan untuk proses pengembangan tersebut iaitu fasa pertama dijalankan menggunakan kaedah kualitatif dengan teknik delphi dua kali pusingan yang melibatkan 7 orang pakar pendidikan karakter setiap pusingan. Fasa ini bertujuan untuk mengenalpasti komponen dan instrumen pentaksiran pendidikan karakter. Fasa kedua dijalankan dengan kaedah kuantitatif di mana soal selidik diberikan kepada 146 guru-guru sains, untuk mengenal pasti kesahan kerangka pentaksiran pendidikan karakter. Fasa ketiga melibatkan analisis dan persembahan data yang dilakukan dalam dua tahap iaitu analisis kualitatif dan kuantitatif dengan menggunakan SPSS V. 22.0 dan Microsoft Excel, manakala statistik deskriptif dianalisis menggunakan Analisis structural Equation modeling (SEM) Partial Least Square (PLS) V.2.0. Fasa keempat telah memperbicangkan, kesimpulan dan cadangan kajian. Maka hasil akhir kajian ini iaitu kerangka pentaksiran pendidikan karakter untuk mata pelajaran sains di Sekolah Menengah Kota Batam untuk mata pelajaran Ilmu Pengetahuan Alam bahawa komponen karakternya ialah cinta dan tanggung jawab, instrumen pentaksiran termasuk skala sikap dan dokumen. matematik mempunyai keadilan, kesetiakawanan dan konsisten instrumen pentaksiran dengan rakan sebaya, skala sikap dan temu bual. fizik mempunyai komponen keadilan, kesetiakawanan dan konsisten, instrumen pentaksirannya dengan rakan sebaya, skala sikap, dokumen dan bimbingan konseling. Kimia mempunyai komponen kedisiplinan, positif dan kreatif serta hormat menghomati instrumen pentaksiran dengan konseling, dokumen, skala sikap, tugas, rakan sebaya, soal selidik, portopolio dan temu bual
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
Appropriateness of Character Education Components and Types of Evaluation Instruments in Natural Sciences (IPA) High School Subjects in Batam City
Full text linkThis study aims to determine the suitability of the component of character education and the type of evaluation instruments in natural science (IPA) high school subjects in Batam City. This study involves four phases carried out for the development process, the first phase is carried out using a qualitative method with the Delphi technique with two rounds involving 7 experts in character education each round. This phase aims to identify components and instruments for character education assessment. The second phase is carried out with a quantitative method in which a questionnaire is given to 146 science teachers, to know the components and instruments of character education evaluation in science subjects in the Mengah Atas School. The third phase involves the analysis and presentation of data carried out in two stages, namely qualitative and quantitative analysis using SPSS V. 22.0 and Microsoft Excel The fourth phase has discussed, conclusions and reserves of the study. So the final result of this study is the suitability of the character education component and the type of evaluation instruments in natural science (IPA) high schools in Batam for natural science subjects that the character components are love and responsibility, assessment instruments including attitude scales and document.This study aims to determine the suitability of the component of character education and the type of evaluation instruments in natural science (IPA) high school subjects in Batam City.
