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
TALKING CHIPS TECHNIQUE TO TEACH SPEAKING
Full text linkThis research aims to find the Effectiveness of Talking Chips Technique to Teach Speaking at the Eleventh Grade Students of SMK. The problem of the research is formulated “Is there any significant differences between students who are taught by using Talking Chips Technique and students who are taught by using Conventional Technique in teaching speaking to the eleventh grade students of SMK. Moreover, the objective of this study was to know whether or not there is significant difference between students who are taught by using Talking Chips Technique and the students who are taught by using Conventional Technique in teaching speaking to the eleventh grade students of SMK . This research was quantitative research, using experimental method and true experimental design. Then, the population of the study covered the entire of eleventh grade students of SMK in academic year 2016/2017 with total students were 318 from ten classes. And the sample of the study were 62 students, consist of two groups, namely experimental group (XI.9) consist of 31 students and control group (XI.10) consist of 31 students which is choosen by cluster random sampling. In this study, the writer used speaking test as an instrument for collecting the data. The data obtained from Independent t-test analysis, between the result of posttest in experimental group and control group. Based on the calculation by using Independent t-test, the writer found that t obtained was higher than t table (2,62 > 2,000) at the significant level α = 0.05 in two tailed testing. It means that there was any significant differences between experimental group and control group. So, the null hypothesis (Ho) was rejected and alternative hypothesis (Ha) was accepted. It can be concluded that Talking Chips Technique was significantly effective in teaching speaking to the eleventh grade students of SMK
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
THE EFFECTIVENESS OF USING PAIR CHECK MODEL TO TEACH READING AT THE EIGHTH GRADE STUDENTS OF SMP N 02 BUAY MADANG
Full text linkThe objective of this Research entitled “The effectiveness of using pair check model to teach reading at the eighth grade student of SMP N 02 Buay Madangâ€. The formulation of this research was there any significant difference between the students who are taught by using pair check model and the students who are taught by using conventional model to teach reading at the eighth grade students of SMP N 02 Buay Madang. The objective of this research was to measure whether or not there was any significant difference between students who are taught teaching reading through pair check model and who are taught through conventional model at the eighth grade students of SMP N 02 Buay Madang. In this research experimental method and true experimental design was used. It was involved two classes they are; experimental class and control class. The population of the research was 88 students of the eighth grade of SMP N 02 Buay Madang, and the sample of the research was 59 that taken through cluster random sampling that divided into two class they are 30 as experimental class and 29 as control class. Meanwhile, for collecting the data used reading test. After that, the data were analyzed by using independent t-test formula. And based on the results of findings, it was found that the mean of post- test score in experimental class was 68.66 and the mean of post- test in control class was 64.65. Beside that, the t-obtained was 0.000 and the t-table with df 57 (59-2) with 95% or 0.05 significant level was 2.0025. Therefore, the research concluded that the alternative hypothesis (Ha) was accepted because the t- obtained was lowers than the t- table ( 0.000 < 2.0025). It also meant that there was any significant difference between students who are taught through Pair Check Model and who are taught through Conventional Model
