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
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
The Digital Literacy of Lecturers during the COVID-19 Pandemic
Full text linkThe learning conditions due to the current COVID-19 pandemic require lecturers to have good digital literacy skills. The aims of this study were to: 1) describe the tools and applications used by lecturers in online learning, 2) describe digital literacy of lecturers, and 3) analyze factors related to digital literacy. This research approach uses a quantitative survey method with 49 lecturers at one of the largest Islamic religious campuses in Indonesia. The results of this study indicate that: 1) the tools used by lecturers in online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic consist of internet-connected laptops (63.27 percent), internet-connected smartphone devices (30.61 percent), internet-connected computers (4.08 percent) , and a small percentage (2.04 percent) use internet-connected gadgets or tablets. Applications used by lecturers in learning consist of Zoom (95.92 percent), WhatsApps (89.90 percent), Google Classroom (57.14 percent) and Academic Information System or AIS (55.10 percent). 2) The lecturer\u27s digital literacy level (63.27 percent) is in the moderate category which tends to be high with a score between 94 to 112 (94 ≤ X < 113). 3). The factor that is significantly related to the lecturer\u27s digital literacy level is the respondent\u27s basic income.Artikel penelitian ini menganalisis gambaran alat dan aplikasi yang digunanakan dosen dalam pembelajaran online, faktor-faktor dan tingkat literasi digital dosen di salah satu kampus agama Islam terbesar di Indonesia pada masa pandemi COVID-19. Penelitian ini menjadi penting karena dunia saat ini termasuk Indonesia belum terbebas dari bencana non-alam akibat pandemik COVID-19. Guna menekan penyebaran COVID-19 tersebut, maka pembelajaran di sekolah maupun perguruan tinggi masih dilakukan secara online. Kondisi tersebut mengharuskan dosen untuk segera beradaptasi dengan sistem pembelajaran menggunakan teknologi informasi yang terhubung dengan internet. Kemampuan tersebut secara sederhana diistilahkan dengan sebutan literasi digital dalam pembelajaran. Pendekatan penelitian ini menggunakna kuantitatif dengan metode survey kepada 49 dosen di salah satu kampus agama Islam terbesar di Indonesia. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa alat yang digunakan dosen dalam pembelajaran online di masa pandemi COVID-19 terdiri dari laptop atau personal computer yang terhubung internet (63.27 persen), perangkat telepon pintar (smartphone) yang terhubung internet (30.61 persen), komputer atau dekstop yang terhubung internet (4.08 persen), dan sebagian kecil (2.04 persen) lainnya menggunakan gadget atau tablet yang terhubung internet. Aplikasi yang digunakan dosen dalam pembelajaran terdiri dari Zoom (95.92 persen), WhatsApps (89.90 persen), Google Classroom (57.14 persen) dan Academic Information System atau AIS (55.10 persen). Pendapatan pokok responden adalah faktor yang berhubungan nyata dengan tingkat literasi digital dosen. Adapun tingkat literasi digital dosen (63.27 persen) tergolong sedang cenderung tinggi dengan rentangan skor antara 94 sampai dengan 112 (94 ≤ X < 113).This research article analyzes the description of the tools and applications used by lecturers in online learning, the factors and the level of digital literacy of lecturers at one of the largest Islamic religious campuses in Indonesia during the COVID-19 pandemic. This research is important because the world today, including Indonesia, has not been free from non-natural disasters due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In order to suppress the spread of COVID-19, learning in schools and universities is still carried out online. This condition requires lecturers to immediately adapt to the learning system using information technology that is connected to the internet. This ability is simply termed as digital literacy in learning. This research approach uses a quantitative survey method to 49 lecturers of the largest Islamic religious campuses in Indonesia. The results showed that the tools used by lecturers in online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic consisted of personal computers connected to the internet (63.27 %), internet-connected smartphone devices (30.61 %), computers connected to the internet (4.08 %), and a small portion (2.04 %) use internet-connected gadgets or tablets. Applications used by lecturers in learning consist of Zoom (95.92 %), WhatsApp (89.90 %), Google Classroom (57.14 %) and the Academic Information System or AIS (55.10 %). The respondent\u27s basic income is a factor that is significantly related to the level of digital literacy of lecturers. The level of digital literacy of lecturers (63.27 %) is classified as moderate and tends to be high with a score range between 94 to 112 (94 X < 113)
Hubungan Literasi Digital dengan Perilaku Penyebaran Hoaks pada Kalangan Dosen di Masa Pandemi Covid-19
Full text linkAbstrak – Jumlah penyebaran hoaks di masa pandemi covid-19 cukup memprihatinkan. Kajian Tirto.id menemukan fakta bahwa tahun 2020 menjadi tahun terburuk karena jumlah sebaran hoaks mengalami peningkatan paling tajam (133 persen) bila dibandingkan tahun 2019 dari yang semula 1.011 kasus menjadi 2.360 kasus. Fenomena penyebaran hoaks tersebut menjadi sebuah isu tanggung jawab bersama antara pemerintah, masyarakat termasuk dosen selaku insan akademis. Dosen memiliki peran dan tanggung jawab strategis sebagai agen perubahan (agent of change) dalam menjalankan tugas Tri Dharma Perguruan Tinggi salah satunya mengendalikan penyebaran hoaks melalui pendidikan. Hanya saja, tidak menutup kemungkinan bahwa penyebaran hoaks datang dari kalangan dosen itu sendiri. Terlebih lagi aktivitas dosen saat ini masih banyak dilakukan dari rumah (work from home) dengan memanfaatkan teknologi informasi (internet) sehingga berpeluang lebih sering menerima berbagai informasi hoaks. Maka dari itu, tujuan penelitian ini untuk menganalisis hubungan karakteristik responden dan literasi digital dengan perilaku penyebaran hoaks pada kalangan dosen di masa pandemi covid-19. Metodologi penelitian yang digunakan adalah pendekatan kuantitatif dengan metode survey. Pengambilan data menggunakan kuesioner secara daring kepada 49 responden. Teknik analisis data menggunakan korelasi rank Spearman. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat hubungan nyata antara masa kerja, pengetahuan tentang hoaks dan literasi digital dengan perilaku penyebaran hoaks pada kalangan dosen di masa pandemi Covid-19.
FACTORS RELATED TO SELF-EFFICACY AND ACADEMIC PROCRASTINATION AMONG FINAL-YEAR STUDENTS AFTER DISTANCE LEARNING
No full textPost-distance learning final year students have more challenges than ever before. This study aims to analyze: 1) the characteristics of final year students, 2) the level of self-efficacy and academic procrastination of students, and 3) the factors associated with self-efficacy and academic procrastination of post-distance learning students. This research approach is quantitative with survey method. Respondents were 97 students at the Islamic college. Data were collected using an online questionnaire. The results showed that: 1) the characteristics of respondents are generation Z groups (digital natives), are preparing a thesis and almost half of the respondents only focus on activities to complete their studies, 2) the level of self-efficacy and academic procrastination of respondents is moderate tends to be high, and 3) factors related to self-efficacy are age, amount of pocket money and information literacy, while factors related to academic procrastination are age and duration of internet access. Therefore, students need to increase self-efficacy and reduce procrastination in completing the thesis
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
