Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Improving Reading Comprehension
No full textRégóta tudjuk, hogy közoktatási rendszerünk diszfunkciójának egyik legfontosabb, legkínosabb - és következményeit tekintve komoly veszélyekkel járó - tünete a diákok gyenge szövegértése. A nemzetközi és hazai mérések 1970 óta rossz, romló, ill. alacsony szinten stagnáló eredményeket mutatnak. Elmondható, hogy az elmúlt évtizedek alatt nem sikerült a kedvezőtlen trendet megtörni, a lehangoló állapotot megváltoztatni. Ennek több oka is van. A következőkben csak néhányat említünk meg ezek közül.The first part of the paper gives a short overview of the situation and problems of teaching and improving reading comprehension in Hungary, regarding research and practice as well as results of reading comprehension surveys that have been stagnating on low level since decades. There is not much research in our country and there are only a few topics involved. Foreign countries’ research-results arrived late and their reception and implementation are insufficient. The professional discussions have been about initial reading teaching for a long time, improving reading comprehension has only recently become in focus. The next part of the paper reviews the most important prerequisites of improving reading comprehension based on American research touching upon both characteristics of each factors in Hungary and supposed reasons of Hungarian student’s low achievement. The main reasons -among others - according to the author are the traditional frontal teaching, the lack of student centred cooperative methods and differential teaching. Teachers use only one book, neglect motivating children to read. Pupils do not have enough reading-exercises in school, teachers cannot help readers struggling with difficulties. The author writes more in details about reading comprehension strategies and possible ways of teaching them, given that this is a fairly little known area in this country, even though in the States it has been a research topic for the past thirty years. Finally she makes some proposals to change the present unfavourable situation
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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

Get PDFIn the introduction, the author provides an overview of the results and problems of textcomprehensiondevelopment in primary school in the light of international and national research.Then she summarizes the theoretical consequences of the change in the interpretation of readingand text comprehension. After that she briefly discusses the results of research on readingstrategies. This theoretical introduction is followed by text-comprehension exercises that formthe major part of the paper. First the criteria for their collection, then their practical relevanceand the conclusions of their application are discussed. The exercises vary in their level andcomplexity, and most of them are based on cooperative learning.A bevezetőben a szerző az alsó tagozatos szövegértés-fejlesztés eredményeit és problémáittekinti át a nemzetközi és a hazai vizsgálatok tükrében.

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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
