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
Contrastive rhetoric analysis on the Syrian conflict in CNN and Al-Jazeera selected news
Get PDFENGLISH:
Contrastive rhetorical analysis as a way of understanding different ways through writers from various cultural backgrounds which shape their discourse was officially initiated by the works of Kaplan (1966). This study tries to use the methodology to investigate the selected news reporting Syrian conflict on CNN and Al-Jazeera reported on May 2014.
This study utilizes a descriptive qualitative method which is focused on comprehensively describing about rhetorical pattern and the writer’s strategies in convincing the readers.There two phases in analyzing data. First is identifying cohesive and coherence in determining rhetorical patterns. Second is figuring out the reader convincement strategies based on three rhetorical appeals that are appeal to logic, appeal to credibility and appeal to emotion.
Findings show that there exist preferred rhetorical pattern in each news websites. Two rhetorical patterns found are English and Semitic. Another finding shows that both news websites have been applied three appeals of convincing readers. The difference found in the strategy of applying those appeal. Hence, each news website has their own way in applying those three rhetorical appeals.
INDONESIA:
Kaplan (1966) menyatakan bahwa analisa retorika kontras merupakan salah suatu cara memahami cara menulis seseorang yang mempunyai perbedaan latar belakang budaya yang membentuk pola tersendiri. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memakai teori tersebut untuk mendeskripsikan berita terpilih tentang konflik Suriah pada berita online CNN dan Al-Jazeera yang dilaporkan pada bulan Mei 2014.
Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif deskriptif yang berfokus pada pendeskripsian secara komprehensif tentang pola retorika dan strategi penulis dalam meyakinkan pembacanya. Ada dua tahap dalam penelitian ini. Pertama, mengidentifikasi konsep kohesif dan koheren untuk menentukan pola retorika. Kedua, mengungkap strategi meyakinkan pembaca berdasarkan tiga pertimbangan: pertimbangan logika, pertimbangan kepercayaan, dan pertimbangan emosional.
Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ada pola retorika pada masing- masing website berita online. Dua pola retorika tersebut adalah English dan semitic. Hasil lain menunjukkan bahwa CNN dan Al-Jazeera keduanya menggunakan pertimbangan retorika sebagai strategi meyakinkan pembaca. Akan tetapi, CNN dan Al-Jazeera mempunyai perbedaan cara dalam mengaplikasikan ketiga pertimbangan retorika tersebut
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
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
Language Variations Used in Stand Up Comedy Indonesia
No full textSociety and language are two aspects that have a very close relationship. The heterogeneous and growing nature of society gives rise to the emergence of new language variations. Register is a variation of language that appears related to the profession. There has been a lot of research on registers. But new registers are constantly emerging as new areas of life emerge. This study examines the forms of registers used by the Indonesian Stand Up Comedy community and their objectives with qualitative research methods. A total of 20 videos were carefully observed to get accurate data. The findings say the register form exists in a hierarchy of words, phrases, and shortenings. There are three types of registers, namely: technical registers, appraisal registers, and naming registers. These registers are used because they represent the context and situation in society, said Stand Up Comedy Indonesia
