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
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
Komunikasi Synchronous dan Asynchronous dalam Blended Learning Pasca Pandemi
No full textBlended learning requires a robust communication pattern to create effective learning. So educational institutions inevitably have to use technology media in education. This makes a new communication that must be thoroughly discussed. So the purpose of this research is to know the perception and compare the synchronous and asynchronous communication used in blended learning in the post-pandemic period. This study uses a comparative descriptive method, data sources obtained from observations, and literature studies from various relevant sources. Based on the results of research conducted, it is known that learning with synchronous and asynchronous communication must be combined to obtain optimal learning effectiveness. To combine these two types of communication, it is necessary to pay attention to aspects related to the point of learning in blended learning because by choosing the right platform, media, attributes, and learning model, effective education will be realized
Analysis of TPACK Content in the Curriculum of Educational Study Programs in Higher Education
Full text linkThis study aims to analyze the structure and depth of Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) content in higher education curriculum documents, with a case study at the Faculty of Tarbiyah, Institut Asy-Syukriyyah, consisting of the Primary School Teacher Education (PGMI) and Islamic Education (PAI) Study Programs. The research focuses on how the curricula of the two study programs include aspects of content knowledge (CK), pedagogical knowledge (PK), technological knowledge (TK), and their integration within the TPACK framework. This research uses a qualitative descriptive approach, using document analysis, interviews, and observation as data collection techniques. Data were collected from curriculum documents used in the 2024-2025 academic year at the Faculty of Tarbiyah, especially the PGMI and PAI Study Programs. Interviews were conducted with the dean of the Tarbiyah Faculty, the heads of the PAI and PGMI study programs, two lecturers, and two students, as well as observations of lecture implementation in the same academic year. The data were analyzed using qualitative methods validated through source and technique triangulation, then interpreted based on the seven TPACK components. The results show that the curricula of both study programs meet national standards, aligning graduate profiles, learning outcomes, courses, and semester learning plans (RPS). The depth of CK and PK emerges as the main strengths: PGMI emphasizes multidisciplinary content and basic teaching strategies, while PAI emphasizes mastery of Islamic sciences and teaching methodology. Meanwhile, TK and TPACK integration remain limited, mainly appearing as the use of simple digital media and online learning systems. Integration at the levels of PCK, TCK, TPK, and TPACK is still partial and not yet systematically embedded in the curriculum. This study implies that strengthening TPACK integration in curriculum design is essential to better prepare pre-service teachers for the digital era. Future research could expand the analysis to a broader range of teacher education programs in Indonesia, and further examine the effectiveness of TPACK-based curriculum interventions in improving teaching competence and student learning outcomes
