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
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
THE ROLE OF ENGLISH VAGANZA COMPETITION 2016 ON CHALLENGING IMPROMTU SPEECH
Full text linkThe purpose of this study was to investigate how students’ language in the English Vaganza competition which was organized by the University of PasirPengaraian. The type of research was descriptive quantitative. Researchers used video footage of students’ performance. The research instrument used video recording. Sampling was total sampling. The sample consists of 19 students who follow the impromptu speech competition in EnglishVaganza. The data obtained comes from several raters. The data were taken from the video recording of the students\u27 performances and transcripts from each student itself. The ways to analyze data were collecting data, analyzing data, and display the results of the data analysis itself. In taking the data, the researcher used video recording and raters. In analyzing the data, the researcher used indicators in impromptu speech; say the objectives, composing contents, supporting ideas, adding stories and examples and summarizing key ideas, showing awareness of the listener\u27s needs, speaking clearly, choosing the right vocabulary and information, using tone, speed and word size thinking, complexity of the vocabulary and last showing comfort with the listener. Based on the result of the research, it was concluded that the level of speech impromptu of students in the English Vaganza competition was quite good.
 
STUDENTS’ SPEAKING SKILL THROUGH ANIMATION MOVIE
Full text linkThis Paper discusses about the analysis of Students Speaking Skill through animation movie. Animation movie is included in audiovisual media. In addition, animation movie is kind of film which involve sound, recording a series of draing of manipulating in animate object, one frame is one time. The technique of data analysis is descriptive qualitative. The steps involved analyzing the component of speaking skill (accent, fluency, vocabulary, grammar and comprehension). Besides, the students had to watch the animation movie that they have chosen before. After that in the group of work they had to discuss the story then present it in oral presentation in front of the class. The Sample in this paper was the second semester students which consist of 40 students. Based on the analysis, it can be concluded that students’ speaking skill through animation movie was in good category. It can be seen from the summary of data, 79,5% of students was in good category in comprehension, 67,5% of students was in good category on fluency, 75% of students was good category in vocabulary, 59% of students was in good category in term of grammar and 79,75% of students was in good category in term of accent
