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
Zeit im Kontext des Studienerfolgs – eine quantitative Studie bei Wirtschaftsstudierenden
Full text linkIm vorliegenden Beitrag wird der Frage nachgegangen, inwiefern die Zeitmanagementfähigkeiten einen Einfluss auf den Studienerfolg bei Wirtschaftsstudierenden haben. Dazu wurde 2020 eine Online-Erhebung bei 490 Bachelorstudierenden wirtschaftlicher Fachrichtungen an einer österreichischen Universität durchgeführt. Die Ergebnisse zeigen u. a., dass der wahrgenommene Zeitaufwand und die Zeitmanagementfähigkeiten Ausdauer und Nutzung signifikante Prädiktoren für den Studienerfolg darstellen
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
The Community of Inquiry Framework in Online Teacher Training: Development of a Course on Academic Writing
No full textEin im Hochschulbereich bereits vielfältig erprobtes Rahmenkonzept zur Gestaltung von Online-Lehrveranstaltungen stellt das Community of Inquiry Framework (CoI) dar. Es zielt darauf ab, eine Interessensgemeinschaft zu entwickeln, um unter Berücksichtigung der kognitiven Präsenz, der Lehrpräsenz und der sozialen Präsenz die Schwächen der Online-Lehre auszugleichen. Basierend auf diesem Modell wird im Rahmen dieses Artikels die Weiterentwicklung einer Online-Lehrveranstaltung zur Entwicklung von Kompetenzen zum wissenschaftlichen Schreiben in einem Bachelorstudium der berufspädagogischen Lehrer:innenbildung vorgestellt. Dazu wurden Gruppendiskussionen mit Studierenden geführt, transkribiert und inhaltsanalytisch ausgewertet. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass sich Studierende wahrgenommen fühlen, wenn Lehrende transparente Informationen zur Lehrveranstaltung bereitstellen und ausführliches Feedback geben. Das Gruppengefühl wird insbesondere durch Diskussionen in Breakout-Rooms gefördert. Zur Förderung der kognitiven Präsenz eignet sich aus Sicht der Befragten ein praxisrelevantes Problem, das in einem durch ein offenes Gesprächsklima geprägten Online-Setting diskutiert werden kann. In Bezug auf die Lehrpräsenz ist für die Studierenden u. a. die rechtzeitige und transparente Information in Bezug auf die Anforderungen im Rahmen der Lehrveranstaltung relevant. Die basierend auf diesen Wahrnehmungen weiterentwickelte Lehrveranstaltung wird im Rahmen des Artikels beschrieben.The Community of Inquiry Framework is a concept for the design of online courses that has already been tried and tested in the higher education sector. It aims to develop a community of inquiry (CoI) in order to compensate for the weaknesses of online teaching, taking into account cognitive presence, teaching presence and social presence. Based on this model, this article presents the further development of an online course for academic writing skills in a bachelor’s degree programme in vocational teacher education. To this end, group discussions with students were conducted, transcribed and analysed. The results show that students feel noticed when teachers provide transparent information about the course and detailed feedback. A sense of belonging is promoted in particular by discussions in breakout rooms. To promote cognitive presence, students believe that a practical problem that can be discussed in an open discussion climate online is suitable. In terms of teaching presence, students consider timely and transparent information regarding the requirements of the course to be relevant. These aspects are considered in the further development of the course. The prototype of the course is described in the article
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
