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
OUTDOOR LEARNING RELIGY: DESAIN PEMBELAJARAN AL-QURAN DAN STRATEGI PENANAMAN TAUHIDULLAH PESERTA DIDIK DI TAMAN PENDIDIKAN AL-QURAN NURUL BILAD BATUARA
No full textPenentu maju atau mundurnya suatu peradaban bangsa adalah pendidikan, baik sistem pendidikan formal, informal maupun nonformal. Namun, Pendidikan informal masih kurang diperhatikan pengelolaannya, Taman Pendidikan al-Quran adalah salah satu contoh lembaga pendidikan informal yang ada di masyarakat. Padahal TPQ dapat mendukung peserta didik dalam belajar membaca al-Quran dan memahami agama Islam yang dianutnya serta dengan pengelolaan TPQ yang maksimal dapat berkontribusi terhadap prestasi belajar peserta didik di sekolah formal khususnya mata pelajaran Pendidikan Agama Islam. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan desain pembelajaran yang digunakan dalam menanamkan tauhidullah kepada peserta didik. Metode yang digunakan pada penelitian ini adalah analisis deskriptif kualitatif, dengan teknik pengumpulan data yang dilakukan melalui wawancara, observasi dan dokumentasi. Subjek dalam penelitian ini adalah pendidik dan peserta didik di Taman Pendidikan al-Quran Nurul Bilad Batuara. Adapun desain pembelajaran yang digunakan oleh pendidik adalah Jelajah Alam Sekitar (JAS), kegiatan ini dapat menumbuhkan pemahaman tauhidullah peserta didik
Pelatihan Pembuatan Sabun Pembersih: Solusi Kemandirian Ekonomi bagi Ibu Rumah Tangga
Full text linkThis community service program aimed to enhance the economic independence of housewives through practical skills training in the production of liquid cleaning soap. The activity was conducted in Gattareng Village, Gantarang District, Bulukumba Regency, involving 24 participants. The implementation adopted the Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) method, emphasizing active community participation throughout the learning process. The training included theoretical sessions, interactive discussions, live demonstrations, and hands-on practice in soap making. Evaluation was carried out through pre- and post-tests to measure knowledge improvement, and a satisfaction questionnaire to assess participants’ responses. The results showed a significant increase in participants’ knowledge and skills: understanding of soap-making basics rose from 20% before training to 85% after the program. Moreover, 92% of participants stated that the training was highly beneficial, and 80% expressed willingness to produce liquid soap independently at home. Beyond improving technical capacity, the program fostered entrepreneurial motivation and strengthened solidarity among PKK (Family Welfare Movement) members. Economically, the training opened up new income opportunities since liquid soap is a household necessity with stable demand, easily accessible raw materials, and a simple production process. Therefore, this training serves as an effective model of women’s empowerment based on local skills, contributing to the enhancement of self-reliance and sustainable family economic welfare
The Urgency of Tolerance-Based Education: Integration of Religious Moderation and Social Science
Full text linkIn this era of globalization, the integration of religious moderation in education has an important role in maintaining inter-religious harmony. Social Studies can be an effective platform to introduce the concept of religious moderation to students. This study uses a qualitative research approach with an interview method to explore educators' strategies in integrating social studies learning and religious moderation. The results of the analysis show that the integration of religious moderation in social studies has several significant benefits. First, this approach allows learners to gain a better understanding of the religions around them, respect differences, and avoid prejudice or negative stereotypes. Second, the integration of religious moderation can facilitate interfaith dialog and build trust among learners with different religious backgrounds. Third, it encourages learners to develop an attitude of tolerance and mutual respect in building an inclusive and harmonious society. However, this study also identified some challenges faced in implementing the integration of religious moderation in social studies subjects. Some of these challenges include diverse perspectives on religious moderation, limited availability of resources, and educators' ability to manage and facilitate sensitive discussions about religion. This research contributes to the understanding of the effectiveness of religious moderation integration in social studies learning. The results of this study can be used by educators and policy makers to improve and develop religious moderation integration programs in the education curriculum
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
