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
Challenges in cultivating excellent communication skills
Full text linkGreatest jobs need excellent communicators, individuals who can directly express themselves confidently and clearly, either in verbally or in writing. It's one of the key elements of progress, so it pays to comprehend what's included and there's a whole other world to great correspondence than the self-evident. Almost everyone lays claim to having excellent communication skills, and every job requires them. Having good communication skills in the workplace is all about being able to convey information to
people clearly and simply, in a way that means things are understood and get done. It‟s about transmitting and receiving messages clearly, and being able to read the audience. This study is conducting through qualitative research study by doing indepth interview with a prominent celebrity in TV3, Ahmad Fedtri Yahya, a Senior Producer in TV3. He shared a lot of his experience regarding his talent and skills as a communicator. He portrayed himself as a very good communicator, in order to be as a role-model for the society. His talent is not limited to the public speaking icon but also in composing song as lyricist, motivator, activist poetry, and book author. This case study provided some challenges of being celebrity in the communication perspective. In addition, this study further contributes by providing comprehensive overview regarding modes of persuasion (ethos, pathos and logos), which need to recognize in terms of using these three modes in his conversation with the audience
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
Ketidakseimbangan pengaliran berita antarabangsa dan peranan agensi berita serantau / Mariah Muda
Full text linkKertas kerja ini membincangkan sedikit latar belakang tentang ketidakseimbangan pengalioran berita di antara bahagian dunia yang kaya dengan bahagian dunia yang miskin. Ia juga turut memberikan keadaan-keadaan yang membawa kepada penubuhan agensi berita nasional di kebanyakan negara di dunia dan juga penubuhan agensi-agensi berita serantau. Untuk lebih memahami kenapa kewujudan agensi-agensi berita nasional dan serantau tidak dapat mengatasi maslah dominasi berita dari agensi berita gergasi dunia, maka perbincangan didasarkan kepada Teori Hegemoni yang dilihat masih relevan dari dahulu sehinggalah sekarang
Keterlibatan audien belia awal dengan genre didik-hibur di televisyen
Full text linkKajian kualitatif ini berkisar pada permasalahan untuk memahami fenomena keterlibatan audien belia awal pelbagai etnik dengan genre didik-hibur yang dikhususkan kepada iklan-iklan kemasyarakatan yang disiarkan menerusi televisyen di negara ini. Tujuan khususnya ialah untuk memahami apakah sikap audien belia awal terhadap genre tersebut, mengenalpasti faktor-faktor yang penyumbang kepada
keterlibatan mereka, bagaimana mereka melibatkan diri, serta kesan yang berlaku pada diri audien selepas berlakunya keterlibatan.
Subjek kajian ini ialah audien belia awal dari etnik Melayu, Cina dan India. Mereka dipilih secara persampelan bertujuan, berpandukan pemilihan berdasarkan kriteriakriteria tertentu. Data dikutip dengan teknik perbincangan kumpulan fokus membabitkan sembilan kumpulan audien belia awal, tiga kumpulan Melayu (termasuk satu kumpulan bagi tujuan praujian), dua kumpulan masing-masing dari etnik India,Cina, dan campuran (Melayu, India, dan Cina) yang ditentukan melalui proses persampelan teoritikal. Instrumen bagi kajian ini ialah penyelidik sendiri, dibantu oleh protokol temubual. Setiap kumpulan dipertontonkan dengan lima buah iklan kemasyarakatan yang menggunakan pendekatan didik-hibur sejurus sebelum perbincangan bermula. Data dirakam secara audio dan visual, ditranskripsi secara verbatim dan dianalisis secara manual dengan berpandukan teknik analisis perbandingan berterusan. Tema-tema yang muncul dihimpunkan mengikut kategori yang lebih umum dan dilaporkan mengikut persoalan kajian. Bagi audien belia awal Melayu, semua peserta mempunyai sikap yang “gemar”kan genre kajian; bentuk keterlibatan yang menyeluruh, serta membabitkan tahap pemikiran, perasaan dan tingkah laku; serta meninggalkan kesan “pengingatan semula secara rujukan”, “pengingatan semula secara kritikal”, dan kesan berbentuk “tindakan fizikal”. Bagi audien belia awal India, sikap mereka terbahagi kepada tiga iaitu “gemar”, “kadang-kadang gemar”, dan “tidak gemar”, memiliki bentuk keterlibatan yang “tidak menyeluruh” (“betul-betul terlibat”, “terlibat mengikut keadaan”, dan “tidak terlibat”). Bagi mereka yang “betul-betul terlibat” dan “terlibat mengikut keadaan”, tahap pembabitan mereka ialah pada “pemikiran”, “perasaan” dan “tingkah laku”; serta meninggalkan kesan dalam bentuk “pengingatan semula secara rujukan”, “pengingatan semula secara kritikal”, dan kesan berbentuk “tindakan fizikal”. Audien belia awal Cina terbahagi kepada dua kumpulan iaitu mereka yang
“gemar” dan “berdiam diri”. Bentuk keterlibatan mereka adalah “tidak menyeluruh”namun bagi mereka yang “gemar”, ia membabitkan tahap “pemikiran”, “perasaan” dan “tingkah laku”. Kesannya pula berbentuk “pengingatan semula secara rujukan”,“pengingatan semula secara kritikal” dan kesan “tindakan fizikal” tetapi ini hanya terhad bagi kelompok yang “gemar” sahaja . Sikap kumpulan audien belia awal Campuran pula adalah “gemar” dan “kadang-kadang gemar”, menggambarkanbentuk keterlibatan yang “menyeluruh”, tetapi hanya membabitkan tahap “pemikiran” dan “perasaan” sahaja. Kesannya pula adalah “pengingatan semula secara kritikal”dan kesan “tindakan fizikal” Kesemua kumpulan etnik audien belia awal menyatakan faktor penyumbang fenomena keterlibatan adalah terletak kepada genre televisyen tersebut seperti “wujudnya unsur lucu” dan “terdapat unsur-unsur yang menyentuh hati”, kecuali beberapa individu dalam kumpulan audien belia awal Melayu menyatakan ianya berpunca daripada diri mereka juga.
Kajian ini juga menghasilkan konstruk-konstruk baru, dan penjelasan yang lebih terperinci bagi konsep “keterlibatan”, yang merupakan salah satu dimensi bagi konsep “keaktifan audien” yang juga teras bagi Pendekatan Penggunaan dan Pemuasan Media. Beberapa huraian juga turut diperolehi bagi menjelaskan konsep “penglibatan ego” dalam Teori Penghakiman Sosial, dan menjelaskan perkaitan antara tahap dan bentuk keterlibatan dengan pemilihan audien bagi maksud pemerosesan mesej sama ada di laluan tengah atau laluan pinggir dalam bentuk teks, bagi Model Huraian

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
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
