    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

    The role of teaching English in senior secondary schools as a component of Indonesian education policy has increased. The curriculum states that the main objectives of English language education are to improve students' basic communication skills, to develop English language, or learning, interests and habits, and to introduce global culture to society. Since language education is based on interpersonal relationships and communication with others, which stem from self-knowledge and understanding, exploring oneself together with oneself can be an important professional in the field. Borg (2003) states that there are several problems related to language education that have not been studied in contact with teacher cognition. This study is about the teacher's consideration in making decisions about teaching procedures. This study uses a qualitative research design to collect data using interviews and observations.

In addition, the writer also uses semi-structured interviews to find out students' perspectives in learning reading comprehension using small groups. The data that has been obtained is analyzed using a qualitative technique proposed by Miles & Huberman. The analysis consists of three activity flows, namely: data reduction, data presentation, drawing conclusions/verification. The results showed that students find it helpful to learn reading comprehension with small group strategies because they collaborate with their group mates

    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

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    Full text link
    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
