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
PROBLEM ÇÖZME YOLUYLA ELEŞTİREL DÜŞÜNME BECERİLERİNİN GELİŞİM SÜRECİNİN İNCELENMESİ
No full textGünümüz eğitiminin en önemli problemlerinden biri öğrencilerimize daha iyi düşünme yollarını öğretip öğretememe sorunu oluşturmaktadır. Bilgiyi zihinlerimizde depo etme zorunluluğu yaşanan teknolojik gelişmelere paralel olarak aşılmıştır. Bu nedenle daha derin ve daha kompleks düşünme yollarının öğrencilerimize öğretilmesi gelecekteki toplumumuz için dünyaya bir uyum sorunu olarak ortaya çıkacaktır. Bu amaçla birçok yeni yöntem denenmektedir. Bu amaç eleştirel düşünme öğretimini de kapsamaktadır. Bu çalışma eleştirel düşünme öğretiminde problem çözmenin bir yöntem olarak kullanıldığı bir çalışmadır. Bu çalışmanın amacını gerçekleştirmek için örneklem bir Devlet Üniversitesinin Eğitim Fakültesi İlköğretim Bölümü Matematik Anabilim Dalı Birinci Sınıf öğrencilerinden dördü seçilmiştir. Araştırmanın evreni Bir Devlet Üniversitesinin Eğitim Fakültesi oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmanın örneklemi İlköğretim Bölümü Matematik Öğrencilerinden seçilen dört öğrenci oluşturmaktadır. Araştırma nitel özellikte bir çalışmadır. Çalışmada verilerin toplanması büyük ölçüde görüşme temelinde yapılmıştır. Bunun yanında öğrenci davranışlarına yönelik gözlem yapılmış ve öğrencilerden dönütler almak amacıyla yazılı belgeler istenmiş ve bunlar da değerlendirmeye alınmıştır. Bu çalışmada görüşme için kullanılan sorular NPEC'in 2001 yılında yayınladığı uluslar arası bir broşüründen derlenmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda toplanan veriler fenomenografi tekniğine göre analiz edilmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda öğrencilerde eleştirel düşünmeye uygun bazı davranış değişiklikleri ve becerilerde gelişme görülmüştür. Sonuç olarak öğretmen meslektaşlarımın matematik dersini işlerken bir takım eleştirel düşünme sorgu yöntemlerini kullanmaları halinde öğrencilerde gerek kavramsal düzeyde gerekse de işlemsel düzeyde gelişmelerin olabileceğine inanılmaktadır.Today, one of the most important problems of education is the problem whether we can teach our students the ways of thinking or not. The obligation to store information in our minds has been overcome in parallel with technological developments. Therefore, to teach more profound and complicated ways of thinking will cause a problem of accomodation with the world in the future. With this aim, many innovative methods are tested. This aim includes the teaching of critical thinking. This study is the one in which problem solving is used in the instruction of critical thinking. In order to reach this aim, for the sample, four students are chosen among the first-year students of the department of mathematics of faculty of education of a State University. Faculty of education of a State University constructs the sample of this study . Four students chosen from the department of mathematics in primary education form the sample of this research . This research is a qualititive one. In this study, the accumulation of data is achieved on the basis of negotiation with the students to a great extent. Moreover, the observation of students' behaviors is done and in oder to get feedback from them, some written documents are asked and these documents are assessed, too. In this study, the questions used for the negotiation are compiled from an international brochure that is published by NPEC in 2001. At the end of the reserach, the accumulated data are analyzed in compliance with phenomenographical technique. At the end of the research, some behaviorial changes in students and development in skills are observed. Consequently, it has been believed that some developments can be achieved both in conceptual terms and procedural terms when the teachers employ some methods of questioning in crtical thinking
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
