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
Attitudes of Secondary School Students Towards Human Rights
Full text linkİnsan hakları eğitimi, sosyal bilgiler öğretim programlarında yoğun bir şekilde ele alınmaya başlanmıştır. Demokratik standartların yükseltilmesinde ve bilinçli yurttaşın inşasında insan hakları eğitiminin önemibüyüktür. Ancak öğrencilerimizin insan haklarına karşı tutumlarının yeterince pozitif olup olmadığı sorukonusudur. Bu bağlamda çalışmanın amacı ortaokul öğrencilerinin insan haklarına yönelik tutumlarını çeşitlideğişkenler açısından incelemektir. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu Sivas il merkezinde bulunan dört ortaokulkurumunda öğrenim görmekte olan 690 öğrenci oluşturmaktadır. Ortaokul öğrencilerinin insan haklarınayönelik tutumlarını inceleyen bu araştırmada veriler Ercan vd. (2015) tarafından geliştirilen 21 maddelik“İnsan Hakları Tutum Ölçeği” ve kişisel bilgi formu uygulanarak toplanmıştır. Veri toplama araçlarınınuygulanmasından sonra elde edilen veriler SPSS Statistic 18 paket programı kullanılarak bilgisayarortamında istatistiksel işleme tabi tutulmuş; verilerin frekans ve yüzde değerleri hesaplanmış, değişkenlerindurumuna göre aritmetik ortalama, standart sapma, bağımsız gruplar için t-testi, tek yönlü varyans analizi veTukey HSD testleri yapılmıştır. Yapılan analizlerle öğrencilerin insan haklarına yönelik tutumları farklıdeğişkenler açısından değerlendirilmiştir. Sonuç olarak; ortaokul öğrencilerinin insan haklarına yöneliktutumlarında cinsiyet, öğrencilerin kitap okuma sıklığı, günlük internete girme sıklığı, en sevdikleri ders vesosyal bilgiler öğretmeninin cinsiyeti değişkenine göre farklılıklar gösterirken; aile aylık geliri değişkeninegöre anlamlı bir farklılık göstermemektedir.Recently human rights education has begun to be handled intensively in the curriculum of social_x000D_
studies. Human rights education is very important in raising democratic standards and in training conscious_x000D_
citizens. However, whether attitudes of our students against human rights are positive enough or not is a_x000D_
discussion topic. In this context, the aim of this study is to examine the attitudes of secondary school students_x000D_
towards human rights in terms of various variables. The study group is composed of 690 students attending_x000D_
four different secondary in the county town of Sivas city. In this study which examines the attitudes of_x000D_
secondary school students towards human rights in terms of various variables, the data was collected by_x000D_
administrating 21-article HR (Human Rights) attitude scale and personal information form, which were_x000D_
developed by Ercan et al. (2015). After data collection tools were administrated, obtained data were_x000D_
processed by using SPSS Statistic 18 package programme in computer environment. In this context,_x000D_
frequency and percentage values of the data were calculated, t-test for independent groups, one-way analysis_x000D_
of variance and Tukey’s HSD test was done. Attitudes of students towards human rights were evaluated in_x000D_
terms of different variables through the analysis carried out. As a result it was seen that whereas attitudes of_x000D_
secondary school students towards human rights varied according to their gender, reading habits, daily_x000D_
internet usage frequency, their favourite lesson and to the gender of social studies teacher variables, their_x000D_
attitudes did show significant difference according to whether they have monthly family income variables,_x000D_
are not very different
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
