No full textThis research aimed at explaining the improvement of the students’ Writing ability in writing component of organitation and writing component of content. To explain the improvement, the researcher used a Classroom Action Research (CAR) which was conducted in two cycles in which every cycle consisted of four meetings. The location of this research was taken at the eleventh grade students of SMA Negeri 1 Bontonompo Selatan with the number of the subject 30 students with 20 women and 10 men. Instruments are test and observation. The findings of the research were the result of students’ mean score in organization was 50 after evaluation in cycle I it became 63.16 data source (D-Test) it became 78.16 % D-test in cycle II, the students’ mean score of content was 50,93 after evaluation in cycle I it became 64.16 and it became 79 in cycle II. The students’ observation was 67.5 % in cycle 1 and it became 82.5 % in cycle 2. It means that Team Assisted Individualization is one of the effective teaching strategies for the eleventh grade students at SMA Negeri 1 Bontonompo Selatan to improve their writing ability in Argumentation paragraph.

USING COMMUNICATIVE LANGUAGE TEACHING (CLT) APPROACH THROUGH SMALL GROUP DISCUSSION AS A DEVICE TO STIMULATE THE STUDENTS TO SPEAK IN ENGLISH
Full text linkThis study was conducted to find out whether or not the using of Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) Approach through Small Group Discussion effective to stimulate the students to speak in English than the conventional way, and also to improve the teacher awareness to use an effective approach in teaching English, especially in teaching speaking skill. This study employed a Pre-Experimental research method with One Group Pre-test and Post-test Design. The data obtained from the test was analyzed quantitatively and then it’s result was compared with the questionnaire to know whether the students interested in learning speaking by using Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) Approach or not. The mean score obtained from Pre-test was 2, 84 and post-test were 6, 01. The data showed that the student’s speaking skills in post-test were higher than the pre-test. The data obtained from questionnaire showed the mean score 78, 67. It means that the students were highly interested in the application of speaking materials through Communicative Language Teaching Approach through small group discussion.Keyword: Communicative Language Teaching Approach, Small Group discussion, speaking.</jats:p
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
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
