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
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
Peningkatan Kemampuan Koneksi Matematis Dan Kemandirian Belajar Siswa Dengan Pendekatan Pembelajaran Metakognitif Di Sekolah Menengah Pertama
No full textSalah satu permasalahan yang terjadi dalam pembelajaran matematika adalah rendahnya kemampuan koneksi matematis (KKM) siswa SMP dan kurangnya kemandirian belajar siswa (KBS) sebagai hasil dari proses pembelajaran yang menempatkan KBS sebagai objek daripada sebagai subyek. Pembelajaran dengan pendekatan metakognitif memfasilitasi dan membekali siswa untuk membangun pengetahuannya secara aktif. Penelitian ini berbentuk kuasi eksperimen dengan disain kelompok kontrol pretes-postes, a two-phase design yang bertujuan untuk membandingkan peningkatan kemampuan koneksi matematis dan kemandirian belajar siswa SMP. Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah siswa SMP negeri di kota Bandung. Subjek dalam penelitian ini adalah siswa SMP dengan sasaran untuk meningkatkan kemampuan koneksi matematis dan kemandirian belajar siswa. Prosedur pengumpulan data dengan teknik tes, angket, obeservasi, dan wawancara. Data penelitian ini adalah (1) tes kemampuan awal matematika siswa, (2) tes kemampuan koneksi matematis, (3) angket kemandirian belajar siswa, (4) lembar observasi kegiatan pembelajaran, dan (5) pedoman wawancara, Analisis data yang digunakan adalah uji t, ANOVA satu jalur, dan ANOVA dua jalur. Berdasarkan hasil analisis data, hasil yang diperoleh dalam penelitian ini adalah: 1) secara keseluruhan, KKM dan KBS siswa yang mendapat pembelajaran PPMG dan pembelajaran PPMK memperoleh peningkatan yang secara signifikan lebih tinggi daripada siswa yang mendapat pembelajaran konvensional. Namun demikian, N-Gain KKM siswa yang mendapat pembelajaran PPMG dalam kategori sedang sementara N-Gain KKM siswa yang mendapat pembelajaran PPMK dan pembelajaran PB termasuk dalam kategori rendah, 2) Tidak terdapat interaksi antara pendekatan pembelajaran (PPMG, PPMK, dan PB) dengan level sekolah (tinggi, dan sedang) atau pendekatan pembelajaran dengan KAM terhadap peningkatan kemampuan koneksi matematis siswa, 3) Terdapat interaksi antara pendekatan pembelajaran dengan level sekolah terhadap peningkatan kemandirian belajar siswa namun tidak terdapat interaksi antara pendekatan pembelajaran dengan kemampuan awal matematika terhadap peningkatan kemandirian belajar matematika siswa.
Kata Kunci: kemampuan koneksi matematis, kemandirian belajar, pembelajaran dengan pendekatan metakognitif dan pembelajaran dengan pendekatan metakognitif klasikal
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
