Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
ICT ON TEACHING ENGLISH LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE
No full textA gale of change is blowing in the pedagogy of English Language Teaching (ELT) ICT has initiated new possibilities into classroom. The role of the teacher, the nature and the context of learning, as well as the function and relative importance of course cotent have all been challenged and redefined. This research paper aims at sharing practical experiments wth ICT in teaching English language and literature. It deals with the pragmatic aspects of using ICT with the student community of business management and humanities. The extensive use of web 2.0. components, internet, blogs, e-groups, SMSs, emails. Socializing portals, e-dictionaries, e-encyclopedia, power point presentation, webcasting, and audio-video, as teaching tools have been mad in the classroom. The student community was motivated to make use of cyber cafes and GPRS mobiles to interact with the teacher. The paper is divided in two parts. in the first part of the paper deals with the experiments carried out to develop Business English skills. The second part is dedicated in teaching literature, while the third part deals with general inferences of these experiments, its limitations and opportunitie
SISTEM NILAI KEARIFAN LOKAL DALAM MANAJEMEN SEKOLAH YANG BERORIENTASI BUDAYA MUTU (Analisis Studi Etnopedagogi pada SMP Negeri 2 dan 5 Purwakarta)
Get PDFAbstrak
Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui, mendeskripsikan dan menganalisis sistem nilai kearifan lokal Sunda dalam manajemen sekolah yang berorientasi pada budaya mutu. Metode penelitian menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan etnopedagogi yang berlokasi di SMP Negeri 2 dan 5 Purwakarta. Teknik pengumpulan data menggunakan wawancara, observasi, dokumentasi, dan Focus Group Discussion (FGD). Partisipan dalam penelitian ini adalah Kepala Dinas Pendidikan Kab. Purwakarta, Pengawas sekolah, Kepala Sekolah, guru, tenaga kependidikan (staf), siswa, orang tua siswa, dan masyarakat sekitar lingkungan sekolah. Data yang diperoleh dianalisis menggunakan model iterative Miles dan Huberman, yang meliputi pengumpulan data, penyajian data, penyingkatan, dan simpulan. Keabsahan hasil penelitian diuji dengan menggunakan teknik triangulasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa nilai kearifan lokal Sunda yang merupakan manifestasi dari nilai silih asah, silih asih, dan silih asuh (SILAS), serta nilai cageur, begeur, bener, singer, dan pinter (CBBSP) telah tertransformasi dalam proses manajemen sekolah. Kearifan lokal Sunda sebagai sistem nilai dalam praktik manajemen di sekolah dibangun melalui proses perencanaan, pengorganisasian, kepemimpinan dan evaluasi yang diinternalisasikan ke dalam visi dan misi, manajemen SDM, manajemen Sapras, kurikulum, penguatan ilmu pengetahuan, teknologi dan seni, proses pembelajaraan, kegiatan ekstrakurikuler, pelaksanaan program dan penguatan tata tertib sekolah. Sistem nilai tersebut mampu menghadirkan nilai pendidikan dalam aktifitas manajemen sekolah yang berorientasi pada budaya mutu (school quality culture). Terbentuknya budaya mutu melalui berbagai jenis program dalam proses pendidikan yang berlangsung di sekolah, keluarga, dan lingkungan masyarakat berimplikasi pada kepuasan stakeholder (costumers satisfaction) sehingga tercipta nilai kedamaian dan kesejahteraan sebagai tujuan dan fungsi kearifan lokal. Oleh karena itu, kearifan lokal sebagai sistem nilai dalam kegiatan pendidikan termasuk dalam proses manajemen sekolah mampu membentuk kinerja sekolah yang positif sehingga menciptakan iklim mutu yang berorientasi pada terbentuknya budaya mutu sekolah. Membentuk iklim sekolah yang berbudaya mutu dapat dibangun melalui implementasi sistem nilai FATE dalam penguatan nilai kearifan lokal dalam aktifitas pendidikan.

Abstract
The aims of this research is to find out, describe and analyze the value systems of Sundanese local wisdom in school quality management. The research design uses a qualitative method with ethnopedagogy approach which is located in SMP Negeri 2 and 5 Purwakarta. Data collection techniques uses interviews, observation, documentation, and Focus Group Discussion (FGD). Participants in this study were the Head of the District Education Office of Purwakarta, School Supervisors, Principals, teachers, staff, students, parents, and the community around the school environment. The data obtained were analyzed using the iterative model of Miles and Huberman which included data collection, data display, condentation, and conclusions. The validity of the research results was tested by using triangulation techniques. The results showed that the value of Sundanese local wisdom which is a manifestation of the values of silih asah (stimulating potentials), silih asih (providing affection), and silih asuh (fulfilling the needs) (SILAS), as well as the values of cageur (health), bageur (good), bener (right), singer (introspective/skilled), and pinter (smart) (CBBSP) have been transformed in the school management process. Sundanese local wisdom as a value system in management practices in schools is built through the processes of planning, organizing, leadership and evaluation that are internalized into the vision and mission, human resourse management, facilities and infrastructure management, curriculum, strengthening science, technology and art, learning processes, extracurricular activities, implementation and strengthening of program through school rules. The value system is able to present the value of education in school management activities oriented to school quality culture. The formation of a quality culture through various types of programs in the educational process that takes place in schools, families, and the community environment has implications for stakeholder satisfaction, so as to create the value of peace and well-being as a goal and function of local wisdom. Therefore, local wisdom as a value system in educational activities including the school management process is able to form positive school performance so as to create a quality climate oriented to the formation of a school quality culture. Forming a quality cultured school climate can be built through the implementation of the FATE value system in strengthening the value of local wisdom in educational activities.

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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
