MeSH term explosion and author rank improve expert recommendations
No full textInformation overload is an often-cited phenomenon that reduces the productivity, efficiency and efficacy of scientists. One challenge for scientists is to find appropriate collaborators in their research. The literature describes various solutions to the problem of expertise location, but most current approaches do not appear to be very suitable for expert recommendations in biomedical research. In this study, we present the development and initial evaluation of a vector space model-based algorithm to calculate researcher similarity using four inputs: 1) MeSH terms of publications; 2) MeSH terms and author rank; 3) exploded MeSH terms; and 4) exploded MeSH terms and author rank. We developed and evaluated the algorithm using a data set of 17,525 authors and their 22,542 papers. On average, our algorithms correctly predicted 2.5 of the top 5/10 coauthors of individual scientists. Exploded MeSH and author rank outperformed all other algorithms in accuracy, followed closely by MeSH and author rank. Our results show that the accuracy of MeSH term-based matching can be enhanced with other metadata such as author rank
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
"Closing the R&D Gap, Evaluating the Sources of R&D Spending"
No full textBoth spending and tax policies have been implemented in the United States with the goal of stimulating private sector research and development (R&D). Karier questions whether current R&D policy, especially the research and experimentation tax credit, can contribute to closing the gap between nondefense expenditures on R&D in the United States and such expenditures in other countries, such as Japan and Germany. He also explores possible changes to our current R&D policy to make it more effective.
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe 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

STUDI TENTANG PEMANFAATAN BUKU TEKS DALAM PROSES PEMBELAJARAN PKn UNTUK MENINGKATKAN HASIL BELAJAR SISWA (Penelitian Tindakan Kelas di Kelas VIII D SMP Negeri 1 Lembang Tahun Ajaran 2008/2009). Dalam proses pembelajaran, pendayagunaan sumber belajar seoptimal mungkin sangatlah penting, sehingga keefektifan pembelajaran ditentukan pula oleh kemauan dan kemampuan mendayagunakan sumber-sumber belajar tersebut. Salah satunya pendayagunaan sumber belajar di kelas dengan pemanfaatan buku teks dalam proses pembelajaran PKn.
Latar belakang ini berangkat dari hasil pengamatan peneliti sebelum melakukan melakukan penelitian yang memperlihatkan bahwa proses pembelajaran PKn di kelas VIII D. Masalah dalam penelitian ini adalah dari para siswa tidak gemar membaca buku teks, dan buku teks belum dimanfaatkan secara optimal baik oleh siswa maupun guru dalam proses pembelajaran PKn, karena buku teks hanya digunakan oleh para siswa untuk bahan atau sumber mengerjakan tugas dan untuk menghapal, sedangkan guru menggunakan buku teks untuk bahan membuat soal ulangan. Menimbulkan kesan bahwa mata pelajaran PKn dianggap sebagai mata pelajaran yang membosankan, tidak menarik, dan mudah mengantuk, jika proses pembelajaran sedang berlangsung.
Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah Penelitian Tindakan Kelas (PTK) dengan prosedur yang terdiri dari tiga siklus yang meliputi perencanaan, tindakan, observasi, dan refleksi. Dalam penelitian ini teknik pengumpulan data yang digunakan adalah observasi, wawancara, studi literatur, dan studi dokumentasi. Adapun yang menjadi subjek penelitian ini adalah siswa kelas VIII D di SMP Negeri 1 Lembang tahun ajaran 2008/2009 yang berjumlah sebanyak 48 orang.
Pemanfaatan buku teks dalam penelitian ini adalah pemanfaatan buku teks dalam proses pembelajaran PKn, dengan menggunakan strategi dan metode pembelajaran yang terdapat dalam buku teks, yaitu metode ceramah bervariasi, inkuiri nilai, dan diskusi. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa dalam pemanfaatan buku teks dapat meningkatkan kualitas proses pembelajaran PKn, keberhasilan tersebut dilihat dari segi peningkatan kualitas belajar seperti siswa cepat memahami suatu materi karena telah ditugaskan oleh guru untuk membaca di rumah. Dilihat dari peningkatan segi evaluasi akhir pembelajaran, guru menilai keaktifan siswa selama proses pembelajaran berlangsung, dengan metode ceramah bervariasi, inkuri nilai, dan diskusi, serta kesimpulan yang dijelaskan oleh siswa mengenai materi yang telah dibahas. Salah satu rekomendasi dari penelitian ini diharapkan pihak guru, dengan pemanfaatan buku teks dalam proses pembelajaran PKn, dapat menggunakan aktivitas-aktivitas dan strategi dan metode belajar yang terdapat dalam buku teks atau yang dapat disesuaikan dengan situasi dan kondisi belajar siswa di kelas, sehingga guru dapat menggunakan strategi dan metode belajar yang bervariasi
