    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    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

    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

    Permasalahan yang dikaji pada penelitian ini berkaitan dengan belum optimalnya hasil belajar siswa kelas X pada Mata Pelajaran Teknologi Perkantoran di salah satu SMK di Kabupaten Bandung Barat yang diduga dipengaruhi oleh efektivitas peran guru dalam mengajar. Dengan menggunakan metode survey eksplanatori, data mengenai tingkat efektivitas peran guru dalam proses pembelajaran diperoleh dengan menyebarkan angket kepada seluruh siswa kelas X yang berjumlah 92 orang dan data hasil belajar siswa diperoleh dari nilai akhir mereka. Data dianalisis secara deskriptif dan inferensial. Hasil analisis deskriptif menunjukkan bahwa tingkat efektivitas peran guru dalam proses pembelajaran berada pada kategori cukup efektif dan tingkat capaian hasil belajar siswa berada pada kategori sedang. Adapun hasil analisis inferensial menunjukkan bahwa peran guru dalam proses pembelajaran berpengaruh secara positif terhadap hasil belajar siswa. Hasil penelitian ini mendukung teori pembelajaran yang menekankan pentingnya peran guru untuk membantu siswa mencapai hasil belajar yang optimal dalam proses pembelajaran. Kata Kunci: Hasil belajar siswa, peran guru dalam proses pembelajaran, SMK.. ABSTRACT THE INFLUENCE OF TEACHERS’ ROLE IN TEACHING AND LEARNING PROCESS ON THE LEARNING OUTCOMES OF THE CLASS 10th GRADE STUDENTS OF OFFICE GOVERNANCE AUTOMATION PROGRAM IN OFFICE TECHNOLOGY SUBJECT By: Rizki Mayadi Kuncoro 1608000 This thesis is guided by: Dr. Rini Intansari Meilani, M.Pd. The problems invetigated in this research are related to the non-optimal learning outcomes of the tenth grade students in the Office Technology Subject in a vocational high school in West Bandung Regency, which is presumably influenced by the ineffective role of teachers in teaching and learning. Through an explanatory survey method, data on the level of effectiveness of teachers’ role in the instructional process were obtained from a questionnaire distributed to 92 tenth-grade students, whereas data of student learning outcomes were obtained from the students’ final score. The data were analyzed descriptively and inferentially. The result of the descriptive analysis indicate that the effectiveness of teachers’ role in the teaching and learning process was in the “quite effective” category, and the level of student learning outcomes was in the medium category. The inferential analysis result futher show that teachers’ role in the instructional process had a positive impact on student learning outomes. The findings support the learning theory emphasizing the importance of teacher’s role in helping students to achieve optimal learning outcomes.
