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
Science teachers' opinions, teaching practices, and evaluations regarding the teaching of socio-scientific issues
No full textSosyobilimsel konular bilimsel bilginin sınırları içinde yer alan, uzman
anlaşmazlıkları içeren, toplumu ilgilendirip tartışmalara neden olduğu için sıklıkla
medyada yer alan, çoklu bakış açılarına ve çözümlerine sebep olan yapısıyla bilimdeki
diğer konulardan farklılık göstermektedir. Öğretmenlerin sosyobilimsel konuların
öğretimindeki rolü önemlidir. Öğretmenlerin sosyobilimsel konular hakkındaki
farkındalıklarını tespit etmek ve bu farkındalıklarını öğretimlerine nasıl yansıttıklarını
belirlemek aynı zamanda sosyobilimsel konuların öğretimindeki deneyimlerine yönelik
değerlendirmelerini anlayabilmek amacıyla bu çalışma yapılmıştır. Bu çalışmada fen
bilimleri öğretmenlerinin sosyobilimsel konular ve öğretimine yönelik görüşlerinin,
öğretim sürecindeki deneyimlerinin ve deneyimlerine yönelik değerlendirmelerinin
derinlemesine incelenmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Ayrıca öğretmenlerin görüşleri, öğretim
sürecindeki deneyimleri ve deneyimlerine yönelik değerlendirmeleri karşılaştırılarak
görüş ile uygulamaları arasındaki benzerlik ve farklılıkların kıyaslanması
hedeflenmektedir.
Araştırmada nitel araştırma deseni olan durum çalışması yöntemi kullanılmıştır.
Çalışma grubunu 2022-2023 eğitim öğretim yılında Antalya ilinin Alanya ilçesinde Milli
Eğitim Müdürlüğüne bağlı devlet ortaokullarında görev yapan yedi fen bilimleri
öğretmeni oluşturmaktadır. Katılımcılar kolay ulaşılabilir durum örnekleme yöntemine
göre belirlenmiştir. Katılımcıların sosyobilimsel konular ve öğretimine yönelik görüşleri
ile sosyobilimsel konular öğretim sürecindeki deneyimlerine ilişkin değerlendirmelerini
belirlemek amacıyla yarı yapılandırılmış görüşmeler, öğretim sürecindeki deneyimlerini
doğal ortamında ve derinlemesine incelemek amacıyla yarı-yapılandırılmış gözlem
v
yapılmıştır. Verilerin tümdengelimci analizi yapılmıştır. Elde edilen bulgular anlamlı
şekilde birbiriyle ilişkilendirilmiştir.
Araştırma sonuçlarına göre katılımcılar sosyobilimsel konuların temel
özelliklerini açıklayabilmiş, sınıf düzeyine uygun kazanımı sağlayan sosyobilimsel
konular seçerek öğretim yapmışlardır. Öğretmenlerin sosyobilimsel konuların
öğretiminin öğrencilere kazandırdıkları hakkında farkındalıkları mevcuttur. Öğretim
öncesi hazırlık çalışması yapılmasında hemfikir olan öğretmenler, hazırlamış oldukları
materyali belli amaca yönelik kullanmışlardır. Sosyobilimsel konuların öğretiminde düz
anlatım soru, cevap ve tartışma yöntemi kullandığını belirten öğretmenler, uygulama
sürecinde bu yöntemlerin yanı sıra tartışma yöntemini de yer vermişlerdir. Ancak tartışma
yöntemini uygulamakta zorlanmışlardır. Katılımcılar sosyobilimsel konuların
öğretiminde öğrenci, öğretmen ve müfredat düzeyinde zorluklar yaşayabileceklerini
belirtmişlerdir. Öğretim sürecinde çeşitli zorluklarla karşılaşan öğretmenler
değerlendirmelerinde konu ile ilgili araştırma yapmanın önemine değinmişlerdir.
Sosyobilimsel konuların öğretiminde dikkat edilmesi gereken hususları yaşadıkları
zorluklara paralel olarak belirlemiş ve öğretim sürecinde düşündüklerinden daha az
zorlukla karşılaşmışlardır. Öğretim sürecinde çoğunlukla katılımcı rol üstlenen
öğretmenler, görüşlerini açıklamada genellikle seçtikleri pozisyonda davranış
göstermelerine rağmen pozisyon değiştiren öğretmenler de olmuştur. Öğretmenler,
öğrencilerden konuyla ilgili fikirlerini ifade etmelerini beklemişlerdir. Öğrenciler konu
ile ilgili farklı görüşlerini sınıf ortamında rahatlıkla paylaşmışlardır. Öğretmenler
sosyobilimsel konuların öğretimini yapmanın öğrencilerin dikkatini arttırarak derse
katılımlarını arttırdığını düşünmektedir. Katılımcıların sosyobilimsel konular ve
öğretimine yönelik farkındalıkları mevcuttur. Ancak bu konuların öğretimine dair
bilgilerinin yüzeysel olduğu söylenebilir. Sahip oldukları alan ve alan öğretimi bilgilerini
kullanarak bu konuların öğretimini gerçekleştirmektedirler. Sosyobilimsel konuların
öğretim modelleri, uygun öğretim yöntem/teknikleri ve materyaller hakkında
derinlemesine bilgilere ihtiyaç duydukları düşünülmektedir. Araştırmanın sonuçlarına
dayalı olarak öğretmenlere, öğretmen eğitimcilerine ve araştırmacılara öneriler
sunulmuştur.This study aims to thoroughly examine science teachers' perspectives on socioscientific issues (SSI) and their teaching, their experiences during the teaching process,
and their evaluations of these experiences. Additionally, by comparing teachers'
perspectives, their teaching experiences, and their evaluations of these experiences, the
study seeks to identify and analyze the similarities and differences between their views
and practices. A qualitative case study design was employed in the research. The study
group consisted of seven science teachers working in public middle schools affiliated with
the District Directorate of National Education in Alanya, Antalya, during the 2022-2023
academic year. Participants were selected using a convenience sampling method. Semistructured interviews were conducted to determine the participants' views on SSI and its
teaching, as well as their evaluations of their experiences in the SSI teaching process, and
semi-structured observations were conducted to examine their teaching experiences indepth and in a natural environment. A deductive analysis of the data was performed, and
the findings were meaningfully correlated.
According to the results, participants could explain the fundamental
characteristics of SSI and chose SSI topics that promoted age-appropriate learning
outcomes in their teaching. Teachers demonstrated awareness of the benefits of SSI
teaching for students. They agreed on the importance of conducting preparatory work
before teaching and used the materials they prepared for specific purposes. Teachers
stated that they employed lecture, question-and-answer, and discussion methods in SSI
teaching and integrated the discussion method into the application process. The
vii
participants indicated that they might encounter challenges in SSI teaching at the student,
teacher, and curriculum levels. Teachers who faced various difficulties during the
teaching process emphasized the importance of conducting research on the topic. They
identified critical points to consider in SSI teaching in parallel with the difficulties they
experienced, and they faced fewer challenges than anticipated during the teaching
process. Most of the teachers took on a participatory role during the teaching process and
generally acted in line with the positions they selected when expressing their views. Based
on the study's findings, recommendations were made for teachers, teacher educators, and
researchers
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.
