    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Full text link
    The 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

    “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

    Keywords : inclusion, workshop, attitudes, konwledge, competence Sunardi; Maryadi; Sugini LPPM UNS, Penelitian, DIPA BLU UNS, Hibah Guru Besar, 2012 This previously UNESCO initiated policy of inclusive education has been adopted by the Indonesian government since 2003. As a new policy, inclusion will require many changes in the existing system of education which tends to be segregative. This research investigated the effects of a workshop in inclusive education on parents attitudes, teachers’ competence and knowledge. The subjects of the study were 50 parents and 50 teachers of 25 primary schools from 25 subdistricts in the district of Wonogiri. They took part in a twoday workshop in inclusive education using active learning modes of presentation. Teachers’ knowledge was measured using a written test, while parents’ attitudes and teachers’ competence were measured using likert type scales. The results showed that: 1 The mean score of parents’ attitudes before workshop was 137,26 (SD=17.383) (already above the mid score of 105) which meant that they showed positive attitudes), and the mean score after workshop was 148,46 with a standard deviation of 15,439. A t-test for correlated means resulted in a p=0.000, which meant that the score improvement was highly significant. 2 The mean score of teachers’ competence before workshop was 334,82 (SD= 69,857) and the mean score after workshop was 372,56 (SD=72,505). Both means were below the mid score of 375, indicating low teachers’ competence. A t-test for correlated means resulted a p value of = 0.000, meaning that the score improvement was highly significant. 3 The mean score of teachers’knowledge before workshop was 57.60 and the mean score after workshop was 67.36, both were below the mastery criteris of 70. A T-test for correlated means resulted a p value of 0,00, indicating a signicant improvement of knowledge

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    We 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

    HUBUNGAN ANTARA KUALIFIKASI AKADEMIK GURU DENGAN POLA MANAJEMEN KESISWAAN DI TAMAN KANAK-KANAK SE-KECAMATAN PAGUYANGAN

    ABSTRAK Sugini, Heni, 2011. Hubungan Antara Kualifikasi Akademik Guru Dengan Pola Manajemen Kesiswaan Di Taman Kanak-kanak Sekecamatan Paguyangan. Skripsi, Program Pendidikan Guru Pendidikan Anak Usia Dini Fakultas Ilmu Pendidikan, Universitas Negeri Semarang. Pembimbing I Amirul Mukminin, S.Pd, pembimbing II Yuli Kurniawati SP, M.A. Kata Kunci : Kualifikasi Akademik Guru, Pola manajemen Kesiswaan Kualifikasi akademik adalah ijazah jenjang pendidikan akademik yang harus dimiliki oleh guru atau dosen sesuai dengan jenis, jenjang, dan satuan pendidikan formal di tempat penugasan. Sedangkan Manajemen kesiswaan adalah keseluruhan proses kerjasama dalam menyelesaikan masalah siswa dalam rangka mencapai tujuan pendidikan. Fenomena di lapangan menunjukkan bahwa kualifikasi pendidikan guru TK di Kec. Paguyangan sebagian besar non S1, pada sisi yang lain manajemen kesiswaan yang diterapkan oleh para guru TK di Kecamatan Paguyangan kurang baik. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan tujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara kualifikasi akademik dengan pola manajemen kesiswaan TK di Kecamatan Paguyangan. Teori tentang Manajemen Kesiswaan merujuk pada teori manajemen kesiswaan di TK oleh Bafadal. Sedangkan Kualifikasi Akademik merujuk pada Undang-undang nomor 14 tahun 2005 tentang Guru dan Dosen serta Peraturan Pemerintah nomor 19 tahun 2005 tentang Standar Nasional Pendidikan. Pendekatan yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah pendekatan kuantitatif, rancangan penelitian korelasi. Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah guru TK Se-Kecamatan Paguyangan Kabupaten Brebes sebanyak 50 orang. Karena jumlahnya terbatas, maka seluruh populasi diperlakukan sebagai responden. Pengambilan data menggunakan angket yang telah diuji validitas dan reliabilitasnya. Analisis data menggunakan teknik korelasi spearman. Dari hasil uji korelasi diketahui bahwa r hitung (0,351) > dari r tabel (0,284). Hal ini terdapat hubungan secara signifikan antara kualifikasi akademik dengan pola manajemen kesiswaan di Taman Kanak-kanak Se-Kecamatan Paguyangan. Dengan demikian Ha diterima. Saran yang disampaikan adalah perlunya para guru untuk meneruskan pendidikan hingga jenjang S1. Apabila guru belum mempunyai kesempatan untuk melanjutkan pendidikan hingga S1, dapat meningkatkan kompetensinya dengan lebih pro aktif pada kegiatan-kegiatan yang diselenggarakan oleh IGTKI. Dengan cara seperti ini kemampuan guru dalam menerapkan pola manajemen kesiswaan akan semakin meningkat

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    We 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

    We 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
