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
EFEKTIVITAS MODEL GAMIFICATION IN EDUCATION TERHADAP KREATIVITAS PESERTA DIDIK PADA PEMBELAJARAN IPA DITINJAU DARI LITERASI TEKNOLOGI
Full text linkStudents' creativity in science learning is still the main challenge amid the demands of 21st-century learning that emphasizes the ability to think innovatively and adaptively to technology. Low technological literacy and conventional pedagogical approaches that do not actively involve students are the two dominant obstacles in fostering students' creativity. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the Gamification in Education model on the creativity of elementary school students from the level of technological literacy. Using a 2x2 factorial pseudo-experiment design, as many as 54 grade VI students from five elementary schools in Wonogiri Regency were divided into experimental and control groups based on learning models and technology literacy categories. The results showed that the gamification model significantly increased students' creativity (F = 824.7991; p = 0.000), especially in the group with high technology literacy who recorded the highest scores. Technology literacy also makes a positive contribution to creativity achievement (F = 129.9946; p = 0.000). In addition, there was a significant interaction between the learning model and technological literacy (F = 31.3306; p = 0.000), indicating that the technological readiness of students strongly influences the effectiveness of gamification
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
EVALUASI PENERAPAN METODE SNOWBALL THROWING DALAM PENGUATAN KARAKTER BERTANGGUNG JAWAB PESERTA DIDIK PADA MATERI IPA
Full text linkRendahnya karakter tanggung jawab peserta didik sekolah dasar menjadi salah satu problematika dalam pembelajaran, terutama pada mata pelajaran IPA yang menuntut keterlibatan aktif dan kolaboratif. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi implementasi metode Snowball Throwing dalam membentuk karakter tanggung jawab peserta didik sekolah dasar. Metode yang digunakan yaitu deskriptif kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi kasus. Data dikumpulkan melalui observasi, wawancara, dan dokumentasi terhadap guru dan siswa kelas V. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tahapan penyusunan pertanyaan, pelemparan bola, serta diskusi kelompok secara efektif mendorong partisipasi aktif dan tanggung jawab siswa terhadap tugas individu maupun kelompok. Indikator karakter tanggung jawab terlihat dari ketepatan waktu, inisiatif bertanya, serta keterlibatan dalam penyelesaian masalah bersama. Meskipun demikian, keterbatasan sarana dan perbedaan kemampuan siswa menjadi tantangan dalam pelaksanaan. Penelitian ini merekomendasikan penerapan metode Snowball Throwing sebagai strategi penguatan karakter dalam Kurikulum Merdeka dan perlunya pengembangan instrumen evaluasi karakter yang lebih terstruktur untuk mendukung implementasi metode ini secara luas
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
