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
English Lecturers’ Preferences for High Impact Professional Development in Indonesia
Full text linkProfessional development plays an important role in improving both teachers’ and students’ outcomes. With various models and strategies, professional development is expected to have a high impact on teaching learning success. This study focused on English lecturers’ preferences for high impact professional development in Indonesia. With small survey design, the data were collected from 20 English lecturers around Indonesia by using questionnaire and interview. This research reveals that most of English lecturers in Indonesia expressed that they prefer seminar, conference, workshop, training, and action research to others because of their short durations and their high impacts. Then, related to technology, they said that internet helps them very much in preparing better instruction, but not in developing their professionalism. The result of this study would be very useful for government and stakeholder to take any decision related to English lecturers’ professional development.Keywords: Professional Development Preferences, High ImpactÂ
Analisis keterampilan proses sains siswa melalui pendekatan inkuiri pada konesp sistem koloid
No full textTujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui seberapa besar kemampuan keterampilan proses sains yang dimiliki siswa dapat berkembang melalui pendekatan pembelajaran inkuiri. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah deskriptif yang diarahkan untuk memperoleh informasi mengenai keterampilan proses sains apa saja yang muncul melalui pembelajaran inkuiri dan mengetahui seberapa besar keterampilan proses sains siswa dapat berkembang. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan di SMA PGRI 3 Jakarta pada kelas XI jurusan IPA. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan pada semester genap tahun ajaran 2009-2010. Subjek penelitian ini adalah seluruh siswa SMA PGRI 3 Jakarta kelas XI jurusan IPA yang berjumlah 21 orang. Siswa dibagi menjadi 5 kelompok, setiap kelompok terdiri dari siswa laki-laki dan siswa perempuan, dari kategori tinggi, sedang, dan rendah. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kedelapan aspek keterampilan proses sains siswa muncul pada pembelajaran inkuiri dengan persentase yang bervariasi dengan kategori muncul sesuai dan muncul tidak sesuai. Aspek yang muncul sesuai yaitu aspek investigasi, aspek observasi, aspek klasifikasi, aspek prediksi, dan aspek komunikasi, sedangkan aspek bertanya, aspek hipotesis, dan aspek interpretasi muncul tidak sesuai
GRAMMATICAL METAPHOR REPRESENTATIONS IN NEWS ITEM TEXT OF JAKARTA POST
Full text linkThis article aims to investigate grammatical metaphor representation in news item text of Jakarta Post. This research was conducted by applying a descriptive research design. The data were taken from a news item text from Jakarta Post entitled “BREAKING: 189 people on downed Lion Air flight, ministry says.” This article was published on October 29, 2018 in Jakarta Post sites. This text was then analyzed by coding the lexical representation as congruent and incongruent ones. From a news item text Jakarta Post, the finding is Representation of incongruent coding is only 17% of the text; the rest (83%) is congruent coding. Grammatical Metaphors representation in the text is dominated by the changes of verbs becoming nouns around 71%
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
