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
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

PENERAPAN METODE PEMBELAJARAN BERBASIS MASALAH SOSIAL (SOCIAL PROBLEM BASED LEARNING METHODS) DALAM PENINGKATAN KEMAMPUAN BERFIKIR KRITIS DAN KEPEKAAN SOSIAL SISWA SEKOLAH DASAR (Studi eksperimen kuasi penerapan pembelajaran berbasis masalah sosial pada pelajaran IPS di kelas V SDN Tikukur Kota Bandung)
Get PDFMasih rendahnya hasil belajar siswa dalam mata pelajaran IPS, dan belum optimalnya pelaksanaan PBM yang dilakukan guru untuk menunjang peningkatan hasil belajar siswa melatarbelakangi penelitian eksperimen kuasi ini. Dengan mengembangkan bahan ajar pembelajaran berbasis masalah sosial yang difokuskan meningkatkan keterlibatan siswa selama PBM, penelitian ini bertujuan memperoleh informasi tentang tingkat kemampuan berpikir kritis siswa pada mata pelajaran IPS setelah pembelajaran dengan pembelajaran berbasis masalah sosial; memperoleh informasi tentang tingkat kemampuan kepekaan sosial siswa setelah pembelajaran berbasis masalah sosial; memperoleh informasi tentang peningkatan kemampuan berpikir kritis dan kepekaan sosial siswa sekolah dasar dengan penerapan metode pembelajaran berbasis masalah sosial; mengetahui aktivitas siswa dengan penerapan metode pembelajaran berbasis masalah sosial selama proses pembelajaran berlangsung; dan mengetahui implementasi penerapan metoda pembelajaran berbasis masalah sosial pada mata pelajaran IPS SD. Dengan menggunakan desain penelitian nonequivalent group pretest-posttest design, penelitian ini mengambil subyek sampel siswa kelas V SDN Tikukur. Instrumen yang digunakan terdiri dari Tes dan Observasi. Data hasil penelitian dianalisis secara kuantitatif dan kualitatif. Penelitian ini mengungkapkan gambaran hasil belajar IPS siswa sebelum pemberian perlakuan yang tampak masih rendah. Akan tetapi, berdasarkan hasil analisis data penelitian, diketahui bahwa penggunaan pembelajaran berbasis masalah dapat lebih meningkatkan berpikir kritis siswa pada mata pelajaran IPS dibandingkan dengan penggunaan model pembelajaran klasikal; penggunaan pembelajaran berbasis masalah sosial dapat lebih meningkatkan kemampuan kepekaan sosial siswa pada mata pelajaran IPS dibandingkan dengan penggunaan model pembelajaran klasikal; pembelajaran berbasis masalah sosial dapat meningkatan kemampuan berpikir kritis dan kepekaan sosial pada pembelajaran IPS dibandingkan dengan pembelajaran kasikal; pada aspek kegiatan yang relevan dengan kegiatan pembelajaran, kualitas aktivitas siswa dalam proses pembelajaran berbasis masalah sosial sangat baik dan cenderung mengalami peningkatan, sedangkan pada aspek kegiatan yang tidak ada relevansinya dengan kegiatan pembelajaran, kualitas aktivitas siswa sangat kurang dan cenderung mengalami penurunan hingga mencapai tingkat mimimum; dalam aspek implementasi pembelajaran sekurang-kurangnya guru dapat melaksanakan lima langkah utama dari PMPBMS hasil pengembangan, yaitu orientasi, eksplorasi, pendalaman, penyimpulan, dan evaluasi
