Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
The 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
“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
PELATIHAN SEBUAH SOLUSI DALAM PEMBELAJARAN IPA TERPADU BAGI DOSEN IPA DI LINGKUNGAN PRODI PGMI
Abstrak Perubahan struktur kurikulum SD/MI sudah tentu mempengaruhi struktur kurikulum pada Lembaga Pendidikan Tenaga Kependidikan Agama Islam. Fakultas Tarbiyah dengan Prodi PGMI merupakan Prodi yang menghasilkan guru kelas pada Madrasah Ibtidaiyah (MI). Proses dan metode perkuliahan yang dilakukan oleh dosen pada PGMI pun menyesuaikan. Kurikulum pada mata kuliah IPA dan Pen-didikan IPA serta Praktikum IPA adalah salah satu mata kuliah yang harus dikuasai dan diajarkan oleh dosen pada prodi PGMI. Program pembelajaran IPA dilaksanakan secara terpadu. Pada sisi lain latar belakang pendi dikan dosen bukan sepenuhnya berlatar belakang pendidikan IPA. Hal tersebut dikarenakan pada Lembaga Tenaga Kependidikan, IPA diberikan dalam spesifikasi yang jelas yaitu: Pendidikan Biologi, Pendidikan Kimia dan Pendidikan Fisika. Pada Universitas bidang IPA terspesifikasi ilmu murni yaitu: Biologi, Kimia dan Fisika. Kenyat aan dilapangan kualifikasi dosen adalah berlatar belakang pendidikan yang memiliki spesifikasi bidang Biologi, Pen-didikan Biologi, Kimia, Pendidikan Kimia, Fisika, pendidikan Fisika serta Pendidikan IPA. Berdasarkan kualifikasi dan latar belakang pen didikan dosen tersebut, maka dalam pembelajaran dosen akan terfokus pada bidangnya masing-masing. Pem-belajaran yang demikian bukan merupakan pembelajaran IPA secara terpadu. Dari fakta tersebut maka diperlukan peningkatan kualitas profesionalisme dosen di Lem-baga Pendidikan Tenaga Kependidikan. Kualitas akademik dosen menjadi sangat penting dan menjadi tolak ukur dalam pendidikan pada suatu program studi. Pelatihan merupakan salah satu program yang dapat dijadikan untuk mempertajam pengetahuan dan keterampilan bagi dosen. Program pelatihan diadakan dengan memfasilitasi dosen untuk peningkatan kualitas pengetahuannya agar outputyang dihasilkan dalam lembaga pendidikan dapat memenuhi tuntutan stakeholder baik regional, nasional maupun internasional. Selain itujuga penyampaian materi, strategi pembelajaran dapat dicapai secara terpadu.Pembelajaran IPA terpadu akan lebih bermakna jika disertai dengan alat bantu, med ia dan metode yang kreatif dan inovatif. Pelatihan Pembelajaran IPA Terpadu pada P rogram PGMI merupakan solusi untuk memaksimalkan kemampuan dosen IPA yang berlatar belakang pendidikan Budiyono Saputro Pelatihan sebuah Solusi dalam Pembelajaran IPA Terpadu …. sarjana Pendidikan Biologi, Kimia dan Fisika serta Biologi murni, Kimia murni dan Fisika murni.

Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
We 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
We 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
We 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
