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
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
THE STRATEGY OF DEVELOPING STUDENTS’ TRANSLATION SKILL THROUGH ANALYSIS TECHNIQUE OF MACHINE ASSISTED TRANSLATION (MAT) AND MANUAL TRANSLATION (MT)
Get PDFMachine-Assisted Translation (MAT) is a sophisticated intellectual technology made by man as a means of instant translation. One of them is Google Translate. This research is a case study with a qualitative approach. This research is to find out the following questions. 1) about the implementation of teaching techniques by applying MAT and MT analysis in the Translation course; 2) about perceptions of students of learning techniques using MAT and MT analysis in the Translation course; and 3) about the strategy of students in doing MT. The research data collection techniques were obtained from classroom observations, interviews with lecturers on Translation subjects, and documents from the results of student translations. All of these were conducted online because Covid had not passed. The object of his research was a lecturer in the Translation subject and 10 students from the Translation class. The data analysis technique used the data credibility test through the triangulation of techniques and sources. The result and the finding of this study are that the lecturer implements the MAT and MT analysis in the translation course with various stages. Meanwhile, students have the perception that the translation technique with the MAT and MT analysis strategy is very beneficial for their translation results. The strategy carried out by students in translating is using MAT and MT analysis in addition to using special translation techniques
Teacher’s Strategies for Implementing TPACK in Teaching Writing: A Case Study at a Technical Vocational School in Malangbong
Get PDFThis study was designed to find out the EFL Vocational School teacher’s implementation of TPACK and its dominant strategies implemented by EFL Vocational School teachers in teaching writing. This qualitative case study was conducted at a technical vocational school in Malangbong using observation, interviews, and documentation. Research participants were purposively recruited for this study including an English teacher at a technical vocational school in Malangbong. The results of this study showed that teacher has good knowledge about technological advances for teaching writing, especially in the aspects of CK, PK, PCK, TPK, and TPACK. Thus, an EFL teacher must have more concern on developing the TPACK framework of mind. Several problems emerged with its implementation including students' experiences with unsteady internet connections and electrical troubles, such as occasionally occurring in teaching activity that leads to pend or even cancel lessons, and it greatly disrupts the learning process. Concerning the challenges encountered by teachers, schools must always find out ways to solve problems in teaching and understand the concepts of the TPACK framework. Thus, teaching writing using the TPACK framework can be carried out effectively
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
