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
«Det er dette med å fange opp dei som er litt stille, og sørge for at dei blir engasjerte». Ein kvalitativ studie av lærarar sine erfaringar knytt til stille åtferd og munnlege ferdigheiter i norskfaglege samtalar
No full textI denne studien ser eg nærmare på erfaringar norsklærarar på mellomtrinnet har kring det å arbeide med norskfaglege samtalar for å styrke munnlege ferdigheiter hos elevar som viser stille åtferd. Stille åtferd hos elevar utgjer sjeldan eit problem for omgjevnadane, men kan skape utfordringar og problem for dei som har dette åtferdsuttrykket. Krava skulen og samfunnet har til munnleg kommunikasjon gjer det vanskeleg for desse elevane å utvikle seg fagleg og sosialt. Norsklærarar har eit særskilt ansvar for å sikre at alle elevane oppnår munnlege ferdigheiter. Med dette som utgangspunkt vart denne problemstillinga undersøkt: Korleis kan ein gjennom den lærande samtalen i norskfaget styrke den munnlege kompetansen til elevar på mellomtrinnet som viser stille åtferd?
For å svare på denne problemstillinga, er det nytta ei kvalitativ tilnærming, med intervju som metode. Det vart gjennomført fire semistrukturerte intervju med fire norsklærarar som alle hadde erfaring innanfor emnet og der alle arbeider på mellomtrinnet ved ulike skular. Etter at datamaterialet var henta inn, vart det tolka, koda og analysert med bruk av ein abduktiv analyseprosess.
Studien indikerer at det å nytte den lærande samtalen som verktøy for å inkludere stille elevar er sett på som positivt, då samtalen som læringsform kan sikre at elevane oppnår kompetanse i norskfaget og i det å samhandle med andre menneske. Funn frå denne studien viser at klassedynamikk og lærarane sitt syn på læringsutbytte, speler inn på kva samtaleform lærarane nyttar. For å inkludere dei stille elevane i norskfaglege samtalar, blir element som modellering, rutinar, variasjon og forventingar nemnt, og viser til at lærarane står overfor eit komplekst og utfordrande arbeid. Det å ha forventingar til fagleg nivå på den munnlege kompetansen til elevane blir framheva som viktig, sjølv om det i intervjua kjem fram at nokre av lærarane ikkje har desse forventingane. Lærarane er usikre kring kor mykje ein kan forvente av dei stille elevane fordi dei ikkje veit kva som er årsaka til at den stille eleven uttrykker åtferda si. Dette viser at det trengst meir kunnskap om desse elevane, slik at læraren kan få gode verktøy å nytte i arbeid med å inkludere dei i munnlege aktivitetar. Den lærande samtalen kan, dersom den blir arbeidd med på ein god måte, legge grunnlag for at stille elevar oppnår kompetanse i å kommunisere kunnskap og samhandle med andre, og at dei forstår eigne og andre sine tankar og idear om verda dei lever i.Abstract
In this study, I examine the experiences middle school (ages 10-13) teachers of Norwegian have, when they work with conversation to improve shy children`s oral skills. Shy children`s behaviour rarely poses a problem for the environment, but the behaviour can create challenges and problems for those who express it. The school`s and society`s demands on oral communication makes it difficult for these pupils to develop both academically and socially. Teachers of Norwegian have a responsibility to ensure that all students achieve oral skills. With this as a starting point, this issue was examined: How can conversations that are used for learning in the Norwegian subject improve the oral skills of shy pupils in middle school?
In order to answer this question, a qualitative approach has been used, with interviews as the method. Four semi-structured interviews were conducted with four teachers of Norwegian, all of whom had experiences with shy pupils and all of whom work in middle school at different schools. After the data was collected, it was interpreted, coded and analysed using an abductive analysis process.
The study indicates that using conversation as a tool to include shy pupils is seen as positive, as conversation as a form of learning can ensure that pupils achieve competence within the Norwegian subject in addition to competence within communication. Findings from this study shows that class dynamics and teachers' views on learning outcomes, influence the type of conversational form the teachers use. In order to include shy pupils in conversations within the Norwegian subject, elements such as modelling, routines, variation and expectations were mentioned, indicating that the teachers' work is complex and challenging. Having academic level expectations for the pupils oral skills is emphasised as important, even though the interviews reveal that some of the teachers do not have these expectations. The teachers are uncertain about how much they can expect from the shy pupils due to the fact that they do not know what causes the shy children to express their behaviour. This shows that more knowledge is needed about these pupils, so that the teacher can succeed in the work of including them in oral activities. Conversations that are used for learning, can, if they are used right, provide a basis for shy pupils to achieve competence in communicating knowledge and interacting with others, and for them to understand their own and others´ thoughts and ideas about the world
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

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.
