From English Medium Instruction to english medium education: a forward direction for Vietnamese Universities
No full textThis chapter brings together key themes from across the institutional, practitioner and student perspectives presented in previous chapters. We argue that their collective perspectives indicate closer alignment with the concept of English Medium Education (EME) than with the more restricted notion of instruction that is inherent in the top-down EMI concept. The chapters also demonstrate that an EME approach can help to address significant issues in the implementation of EMI programs and individual courses. We therefore further argue that a way to move forward with EMI in Vietnamese universities is to actively adopt an EME approach, both in policy and practice. Using the Dafouz and Smit (2016; 2020) ROAD-MAPPING framework for analysing EME in multilingual university settings, we bring together the various EME themes presented and advocated across the chapters. These themes, in conjunction with the principles inherent in the Dafouz and Smit’s (2020) conceptualisation of EME, provide an illustration of what an EME approach might look like in Vietnamese universities and how it could help move Vietnamese tertiary education forward in a sustainable and equity manner
Perspectives on english medium instruction practices in Vietnamese universities: introduction
No full textAs an educational innovation, the English medium instruction (EMI) project in Vietnamese universities is dependent for its success on the quality of the instruction practices put in place. Consequently, this book takes the direction of moving forward with EMI—successfully achieving educational goals through EMI,enhancing student learning experiences and outcomes, and developing transformational EMI practices. To this end, institutional, practitioner and student perspectives are all brought into play, representative of the key stakeholders in the educational outcomes of the EMI project. This chapter begins by indicating the aims the book hopes to achieve as a contribution to the forward direction of EMI in Vietnamese universities. It then briefly reviews EMI as a pedagogical innovation internationally and in Vietnam, and outlines the types of undergraduate EMI offerings currently available in Vietnamese universities. There follows an explanation of the three part structure of the book—institutional, practitioner and student perspectives on EMI practices—and an overview of the chapters across the three parts
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
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
