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
THE CORRELATION BETWEEN STUDENTS’ READING HABIT AND READING COMPREHENSION IN ENGLISH AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE
No full textThe problem statement of this research was whether there was a correlation between reading habits and students' reading comprehension skills in learning English as a foreign language. The method of the research used a quantitative approach by using a correlational design. Based on R-value (0.588), the correlation between reading habits and students’ reading comprehension skills was moderate, and the linear regression model was Y = -6.758 + 0.605X. Based on the model, it is stated that there was a positive correlation between reading habits and reading comprehension skills in learning English. It was concluded that reading habits and reading comprehension skills had a proportional relationship
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
THE SEE SUBTYPE VERBS IN ENGLISH AND WOLIO LANGUAGES: A SEMANTIC APPROACH TO GRAMMAR
No full textThis research aimed to investigate See subtype verbs in English and Wolio languages: the meanings and grammatical properties. The research is descriptive qualitative research. The sources of the data in this research include events, information, and documents. The techniques of collecting data are observation and interview. The data were analyzed through some steps: data reduction, data display, and conclusion and verification. The result shows that the English See subtype verbs identified are see, hear, smell, taste, feel, observe, notice and perceive. While the Wolio See subtype verbs identified are kamata, rango, bou, penami, namisi, and tuminda. In the aspect of meaning, the Wolio See subtype verbs do not always have the same function with English in the use. Some verbs in Wolio language have more wide semantic range, such as ‘kamata’ and ‘namisi’. ‘Kamata’ refers to become aware of somebody/something by using of eyes either in a glance or over period of time and carefully or not. In addition, ‘kamata’ also can be used to see a movie, witness the accident, and observed somebody or something. ‘namisi’ also can cover feel and perceive. Though it is a transitive and intransitive verb at once, but the passive sentence of this verb is not allowed. In addition, this verb also does not have the imperative form when it refers to ‘perceive’. Contrast with ‘tumindaea’ that has more narrow semantic meaning. ‘tumindaea’ is just used to pay attention or notice somebody or his/her speech or advice.Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kata kerja See subtype dalam bahasa Inggris dan Wolio: makna dan sifat gramatikal. Jenis penelitian yang digunakan adalah penelitian kualitatif deskriptif. Sumber data dalam penelitian ini meliputi peristiwa, informasi, dan dokumen. Teknik pengumpulan data adalah observasi dan wawancara. Analisis data dilakukan melalui beberapa tahapan yaitu reduksi data, penyajian data, penarikan kesimpulan dan verifikasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kata kerja See subtype bahasa Inggris yang diidentifikasi adalah see, hear, smell, taste, feel, observe, notice dan perceive. Sedangkan kata kerja See subtype bahasa Wolio yang diidentifikasi adalah kamata, rango, bou, penami, namisi, dan tuminda. Pada aspek makna, kata kerja See subtype bahasa Wolio tidak selalu memiliki fungsi yang sama dengan bahasa Inggris dalam penggunaannya. Beberapa kata kerja dalam bahasa Wolio memiliki jangkauan semantik yang lebih luas, seperti 'kamata' dan 'namisi'. 'Kamata' mengacu pada menyadari akan seseorang/sesuatu dengan menggunakan mata baik dalam sekejap atau selama periode waktu dan dengan hati-hati atau tidak. Selain itu, 'kamata' juga dapat digunakan untuk menonton film, menyaksikan kecelakaan, dan mengamati seseorang atau sesuatu. 'Namisi' juga bisa mencakup feel dan perceive. Meskipun kata kerja ini merupakan kata kerja transitif dan intransitif, namun bentuk pasif kata kerja ini tidak diperbolehkan. Selain itu, kata kerja ini juga tidak memiliki bentuk imperatif yang mengacu pada 'perceive'. Berbeda dengan 'tumindaea' yang memiliki makna semantik yang lebih sempit. 'Tumindaea' hanya digunakan untuk memperhatikan seseorang atau ucapan atau nasihatnya
