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
Madrasah According to SKB 3 Ministers
Get PDFThe word madrasah is synonymous with the level of formal education in the religious sphere in Indonesia, regardless of whether it is under the auspices of the government (State) or under the auspices of a foundation (Private). The aim of this research is to see the background to the birth of the 3 ministerial SKB, the objectives of the 3 ministerial SKB, the civil effect on diplomas, and the weight of religious and general subjects in the madrasah. This type of research is library research (library research using a qualitative approach. The conclusions in this research are: (1) The Minister of Education and Culture (Mendikbud), outlined three important things that were taken into consideration in preparing the SKB for the three Ministers. First, that schools have a role important and responsible in maintaining the existence of ideology and basic national consensus. Second, schools function to build insight, attitudes and character of students, educators and educational staff to maintain national unity and unity. Third, uniforms and attributes for students. educators, and educational staff at primary and secondary education levels in schools organized by regional governments (2) with the implementation of the three Ministerial Decrees, it means a) The existence of madrasas as Islamic educational institutions is more stable and stronger; b) General knowledge in madrasas is increasing; c) Physical facilities and equipment are more refined; d) There is a civil effect on madrasa diplomas. The physical facilities and improvements in madrasa equipment are an illustration that the New Order government played a very important role in the development and progress of madrasas. (3) In 1976, the decision to implement the Madrasah Curriculum was issued by the Minister of Religion, said to be a follow-up to the SKB 3 Ministers the previous year. The contents of this policy: 1. Religious subjects in madrasas 30% 2. General subjects 70% without reduction. Meanwhile, Madrasah Aliyah elective program A1 (Religious Sciences) does not apply this curriculum, because religious and general subjects have balanced percentages, namely: 47% general and 53% religion (semesters I and II); 55% general and 45% religious (semesters III and IV); 65% general and 35% religious (semester V), and 60% general and 40% religious (semester VI
Breaking Racial Stereotypes through Multicultural Education
Get PDFThe purpose of this scientific study is to examine in more depth how to overcome racial stereotypes through multicultural education approaches and models. This scientific study uses a qualitative research method with a library research type. The data used in this study is secondary data, including various journals, and books on the topic being studied. The results of the study state that multicultural education is an effort to shape human character by instilling pluralistic values inclusively. In its implementation, educators and authorities can choose the approach offered by James A. Banks, Carl A. Grant & Christine E. Sleeter, and Geneva Gay. In addition, they can also decide on multicultural education models which of course must also be considered with the background or culture of the students. So that later it can provide a broader view of the diversity in Indonesia. In addition, it can achieve the goals of multicultural education optimally, namely forming the next generation of the nation who have Pancasila and multicultural characters
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
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
