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
Problems that pedagogical formation certificate program students think that they will encounter in their professional lives
Get PDFTürkiye’de alan öğretmeni ihtiyacını karşılamak için geçmişten günümüze pek çok farklı
uygulamaya başvurulmuştur. 2010 yılından bu yana öğretmen yetiştiren Pedagojik Formasyon
Sertifika Programı da bu uygulamalardan biridir. Alanyazında öğretmenlerin yaşadıkları
sorunlar ile ilgili yapılan çalışmalar incelendiğinde hemen hemen hepsi görevde olan
öğretmenlerle gerçekleştirilmiştir. Buna karşılık, oldukça kısa bir program ile öğretmenlik
mesleğine hazırlanan pedagojik formasyon programı öğrencilerinin öğretmen olduklarında
yaşayacakları sorunlara ilişkin farkındalıklarını belirlemeye yönelik bir araştırmaya
rastlanmamıştır. Oysa öğretmen adaylarının hizmetöncesi eğitimlerinde bu sorunlara ilişkin
farkındalık kazanmaları yaşanabilecek sorunların engellenmesi ya da daha kolay çözülebilmesi
anlamında önemlidir. Bu bağlamda, araştırmada pedagojik formasyon programı öğrencilerinin
mesleki yaşamlarında karşılaşabileceklerini düşündükleri sorunları belirlemek ve bu sorunların
çözümüne ilişkin olarak pedagojik formasyon programında aldıkları eğitimin katkısını
sorgulamak amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmanın verileri 2014-2015 öğretim yılı güz döneminde
Anadolu Üniversitesi Pedagojik Formasyon Programı’nda öğrenim gören ve araştırmaya
katılmayı kabul eden 12 öğrenci ile gerçekleştirilen yarı-yapılandırılmış görüşmeler aracılığıyla
toplanmıştır. Elde edilen verilerin betimsel analizi sonucunda öğretmen adaylarının sınıf
yönetimini sağlayamama, öğrenciler ile etkili iletişim kuramama, öğretim materyali yetersizliği
ve meslektaşları ile işbirliği eksikliği gibi sorunlarla karşılaşabileceklerini düşündükleri
belirlenmiştir. Bunlara ek olarak, göreve başlanılan yerdeki yaşam biçimi farklılığının ve okul
yönetimiyle farklılaşan siyasi görüşün de sorunlara yol açabileceği belirtilmiştir. Öğrencilerin
çoğunluğu programın özellikle uzaktan öğretim boyutunun etkisiz kaldığını belirterek
sorunların çözümü noktasında programın katkısının olmayacağını eklemişlerdir.From past to present in Turkey too many different applications have been used in order to meet
the need of branch teacher. Pedagogical Formation Certificate Program is one of these
applications used since 2010. When education research literature examined it can be seen that
almost all of the studies were carried out with employed teachers. In contrast, there is any
research to determine their awareness about problems in their professional lives with
pedagogical formation program students who are prepared to be a teacher with very short
program. However, gaining awareness about problems in professional life while a student is
important to prevent potential problems or makes easier to solve them. In this context, this study
aims to identify the problems that pedagogical formation program students will encounter with
their professional lives and to question the contribution of the training they receive in the
pedagogical program to the solution of these problems. Data of the study were collected in
2014-2015 Academic Year Fall Term with 12 volunteer Anadolu University Pedagogical
Formation Program students through semi-structured interviews. As a result of descriptive
analysis of the data students thought that they could have problem to provide classroom
management and communicate with students effectively. In addition, lack of instructional
materials and cooperation through colleagues, also differences of life style where they start to
work and different political views among school management and teachers could cause
problems. The majority of the students said that program does not have enough contribution at
the point of solving these problems as expected especially because of the ineffective distance
education part of it
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.
