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
Review of thesis studies written on geometric thinking in Türkiye
No full textBu çalışmanın amacı Türkiye'de geometrik düşünmeyi konu alan yüksek lisans ve doktora tez çalışmalarının eğilimleri hakkında genel bir bilgi edinmektir. Çalışmada nitel araştırma kapsamında doküman incelemesi kullanılmıştır. Çalışmanın veri kaynaklarını Yükseköğretim Kurulu Ulusal Tez Merkezi Veri Tabanında kayıtlı olan ve 2000-2023 yılları arasında Türkiye'de geometrik düşünme üzerine hazırlanan 126 tez çalışması oluşturmaktadır. Tezler hazırlanan tez inceleme formuna göre incelenmiştir. Araştırma verilerinin kodlanmasında Microsoft Excel programı kullanılarak frekans, yüzde gibi betimsel istatistiklerden yararlanılmıştır. Elde edilen verilerin analizinde ise betimsel analiz ve içerik analizi kullanılmıştır. Çalışma sonunda elde edilen bulgulara bakıldığında geometrik düşünme üzerine hazırlanan tezlerin büyük çoğunluğunda van Hiele geometrik düşünme teorisinin kullanıldığı görülmüştür. En çok araştırılan konu alanının başarı olduğu ortaya çıkmıştır. Çalışmaların ağırlıklı olarak yüksek lisans düzeyinde yapıldığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Tezlerin yıllara göre dağılımının düzenli bir şekilde olmasa da son yıllarda genel olarak artış gösterdiği belirlenmiştir. Çalışmaların yayım dillerinin ağırlıklı olarak Türkçe olduğu görülmüştür. En çok tez çalışmasının Dokuz Eylül Üniversitesinde ve çoğunlukla İlköğretim Ana Bilim Dalında hazırlandığı ortaya çıkmıştır. Tez yazarlarının genel olarak kadın yazarlardan oluştuğu görülmüştür. Çalışmalara en fazla Doçent Doktor unvanlı öğretim üyelerinin danışmanlık yaptığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Yüksek lisans düzeyinde tez çalışmalarında nicel, doktora düzeyinde tez çalışmalarında ise karma araştırma yönteminin daha fazla kullanıldığı görülmüştür. Tezlerde en fazla deneysel ve yarı deneysel desen kullanılmıştır. Ortaokul öğrencileri ile daha fazla sayıda çalışma yürütülmüştür. Küçük örneklem gruplarıyla yapılan çalışmaların ağırlıklı olduğu ve en fazla 0-100 aralığındaki gruplarla çalışmalar yapıldığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Veri toplama aracı olarak sıklıkla testlerin kullanıldığı görülmüştür. Tezlerde verilerin analizinde ise en çok nicel veri analiz türlerinden t testinin kullanıldığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Anahtar kelime temalarının dağılımında tezlerde en çok van Hiele kodunun kullanıldığı görülmüştür. Tezlerin sonuçlarına göre ise farklı öğrenme ortamlarının öğrencilerin geometrik düşünme düzeylerini ve zihnin geometrik alışkanlıklarını artırmada etkili olduğu görülmüştür. Araştırma sonucunda ortaya konulan sonuçların geometrik düşünme ile ilgili çalışma yapacak olan araştırmacılara yol göstereceği ve özellikle farklı geometrik düşünme teorileri ile yapılacak çalışmaların artmasının alanyazına katkı sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir.This study aims to obtain general information about the trends of master's and doctoral thesis studies on geometric thinking in Türkiye. In the study, document review was used within the scope of qualitative research. The data sources of the study consist of 126 thesis registered in the National Thesis Center Database of the Council of Higher Education and prepared on geometric thinking in Türkiye between 2000 and 2023. Thesis were examined according to the prepared thesis examination form. Microsoft Excel program was used to code the research data and descriptive statistics such as frequency and percentage were used. Descriptive analysis and content analysis were used to analyze the data obtained. When the findings obtained at the end of the study were examined, it was seen that the van Hiele theory of geometric thinking was used in the majority of thesis prepared on geometric thinking. It turns out that the most researched subject area is success. It was concluded that the studies were mainly carried out at the master's level. It has been determined that the distribution of thesis over the years has generally increased in recent years, although not regularly. It was observed that the publication languages of the studies were predominantly Turkish. It was revealed that most thesis studies were prepared at Dokuz Eylül University and mostly in the Department of Primary Education. It has been observed that thesis writers generally consist of women writers. It was concluded that faculty members with the title of Associate Professor Doctors mostly advised the studies. It has been observed that quantitative research methods are used more in master's level thesis studies, and mixed research methods are used more in doctoral thesis studies. Experimental and quasi-experimental designs were mostly used in thesis. More studies have been conducted with secondary school students. It was concluded that studies conducted with small sample groups were predominant and studies were conducted with groups in the range of 0-100 at most. It has been observed that tests are frequently used as data collection tools. It was concluded that the t-test, one of the types of quantitative data analysis, was most frequently used in the analysis of data in thesis. In the distribution of keyword themes, it was seen that the van Hiele code was used most in thesis. According to the results of the thesis, it has been seen that different learning environments are effective in increasing students' geometric thinking levels and geometric habits of the mind. It is thought that the results of the research will guide researchers who will study geometric thinking and that the increase in studies on different geometric thinking theories will contribute to the literature
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.
