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
Error Analysis On Story Telling By Participants Of Story Telling Competition In “Smart Education Center Course”
Get PDFPemahaman struktur tata bahasa dari bahasa kedua adalah salah satu cara untuk menentukan seberapa jauh seorang pelajar memahami bahasa tersebut. Pelajar mampu menunjukkan pemahaman mereka atas bahasa kedua dengan beberapa cara. Salah satunya adalah melalui kompetisi. Dalam penelitian ini, penulis menganalisa kesalahan yang muncul di lomba cerita yang diikuti oleh peserta lomba bercerita yang diselenggarakan oleh kursus “Smart Education Center” (SEC). Selanjutnya, penulis mengajukan tiga permasalahan penelitian yaitu (1)kesalahan apa yang ditemukan di lomba bercerita oleh peserta (2)kesalahan apa yang paling sering dibuat oleh peserta (3)apakah penyebab dari kesalahan tersebut. Dalam proses pembelajaran bahasa kedua, seorang pelajar terkadang membuat beberapa kesalahan dan analisa kesalahan (EA) mempunyai metode untuk menemukan kesalahan tersebut. Salah satu metode analisa kesalahan adalah Surface Strategy Taxonomy oleh Dulay (Dulay et al, 1982,hal.150). Berkaitan dengan penyebab kesalahan, penulis menggunakan teori Richard (dikutip oleh Ellis,1994, hal.58) yang membagi jenis penyebab kesalahan ke dalam tiga kategori yakni, developmental, interference, dan intralingual. Peneliti ini menemukan bahwa ada 151 kesalahan yang dibagi menjadi 91 kesalahan bentuk kata, 5 kesalahan urutan kata, 19 penambahan kata dan 36 penghilangan kata. Berkaitan dengan sumber kesalahan, penulis menemukan 50 (33%) kesalahan intralingual dam 101 (67%) kesalahan interference. Semua kesalahan dikategorikan sebagai kesalahan developmental yang muncul karena kurangnya pengalaman penggunaan bahasa kedua. Berkaitan dengan jenis umum kesalahan, penulis mengkategorisasikan semua kesalahan ke dalam kesalahan lokal karena kesalahan tersebut tidak menutup arti dari kalimat atau frasa-frasa. Penulis menyarankan kepada peneliti selanjutnya yang ingin melakukan penelitian yang sama untuk menggunakan teori dan subjek yang berbeda. Terlebih lagi, penulis menyarankannya untuk menggunakan kriteria yang lain untuk menentukan subjek. Pada penelitian ini, penulis menggunakan kelas dan jumlah latihan sebagai kriteria. Bagi peneliti selanjutnya bisa menggunakan nilai kemampuan berbicara sebagai kriteria
ERROR ANALYSIS ON STORY TELLING BY PARTICIPANTS OF STORY TELLING COMPETITION IN “SMART EDUCATION CENTER COURSEâ€
Get PDFKeywords : Error, Error Analysis, Surface Strategy Taxonomy, Story TellingUnderstanding the grammatical structure of target language is one of the ways to determine how far a learner understands the target language.The learner can show his understanding of the target language from some ways. One of them is by having competition. In this study, the writer analyzed the error which occured in story telling done by Smart Education Center (SEC) courseparticipants. Furthermore, the writer proposed three problems of the study,(1)What errors found in the story telling of the palrtcipants (2).What errors mostfrequently made by the participants? (3).What the causes of the errors were?In the process of learning the second language, the learner sometimesproduces some errors and Error Analysis (EA) has a methodology to figure themout. One of the methodologies used is surface strategy taxonomy by Dulay (Dulay et al, 1982, p.150). In dealing with the sources of errors, the writer used the theory of Richard (as cited by Ellis,1994, p.58) which divides them into three categories namely, developmental, interference, and intralingual.This study revealed that there were 151 errors which were divided into91 misformations, 5 misorderings, 19 additions, and 36 ommisions. In terms ofsource of error, the writer found 50 (33%) intralingual error and 101 (67%)interference error. All errors were categorized as developmental error occuringfrom limited language experience. In terms of general type of error, the writercategorized all errors into local error because the errors which occured did notblock the meaning of sentences or phrases.The writer suggests to the next researcher who wants to conduct thesimilar research to use another subject and theory. Furthermore, the writersuggests him to find another criteria in determining the subject. In this research,the writer used the class and times of practicing, the next researcher can use thescore of speaking as the criteria
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
