    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

    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

    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

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji dan menganalisis pengaruh antara kepuasan kerja, motivasi kerja dan lingkungan kerja terhadap organizational citizenship behavior (OCB). Penelitian ini dilakukan secara kuantitatif dengan metode analisis regresi linier berganda dengan menguji hipotesis uji statistik t. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa OCB dipengaruhi oleh variabel Kepuasan Kerja, Motivasi Kerja dan variabel Lingkungan Kerja secara parsial. Kepuasan kerja, motivasi kerja dan lingkungan kerja secara bersamaan berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap OCB di Perguruan Tinggi X.   Kata kunci: Kepuasan Kerja, Motivasi Kerja, Lingkungan Kerja dan Organizational Citizenship Behavior.   Abstract: In an education institutions, solid teamwork is needed considering that the best service is the core value of College X. Employees are required not only to work according to the formal job descriptions that have been set, but also be able to do more things outside of their formal work such as helping friends in completing the work so that it will increase employee productivity and also improve company performance. This study aims to examine and analyze the effect of job satisfaction, work motivation and work environment on organizational citizenship behavior (OCB). This research was conducted quantitatively with the method of multiple linear regression analysis by testing the hypothesis t statistical test. The results showed that OCB was partially influenced by Job Satisfaction, Work Motivation and Work Environment variables. Job satisfaction, work motivation and work environment simultaneously have a positive and significant effect on OCB at College X.   Keywords: Job Satisfaction, Work Motivation, Work Environment and Organizational Citizenship Behavior

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    Full text link
    We 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

    THE USE OF PICTURE NARRATING IN TEACHING SPEAKING TO THE EIGHTH GRADE STUDENTS OF SMP N 3 JEPARA IN ACADEMIC YEAR 2013/2014

    Full text link
    Berbicara adalah kemampuan yang penting dalam mempelajari bahasa inggris. Di SMP N 3 Jepara, khususnya di kelas 8, para siswa terlihat pasif pada kegiatan berbicara. Guru hanya focus pada materi dari buku paket yang hanya berisi beberapa kegiatan berkaitan dengan berbicara. Keadaan seperti ini menjadikan siswa lemah pemahaman dalam berbicara. Hal tersebut dibuktikan dengan nilai siswa yang masih dibawah KKM, yaitu 68 untuk pelajaran Bahasa Inggris. Picture Narrating diharapkan mampu mengatasi masalah tersebut. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetes apakah ada perbedaan signifikan antara kemampuan berbicara dari siswa kelas 8 SMP N 3 Jepara sebelum dan setelah diajar menggunakan picture narrating pada tahun ajaran 2013/ 2014. Desain dari penelitian ini adalah penelitian pre-eksperimental. Penulis menggunakan group tunggal dengan pre – test dan post – test. Populasi diambil dari siswa kelas 8 SMP N 3 Jepara pada tahun ajaran 2013/ 2014. Penulis menggunakan teknik cluster random sampling untuk mengambil sampel. Dan penulis mendapatkan kelas 8A sebagai sampel dengan jumlah siswa 39. Instrumen yang digunakan adalah berupa test lisan. Hasil dari penelitian menunjukkan bahwa post –test tergolong “bagus” dengan nilai rata-rata 74.75 dan standar deviasi 9.39. Lebih tinggi dari pada pre – test dengan nilai rata-rata 53.19 dan standar deviasi 7.95 yang dapat diklasifikasikan “rendah”. Hipotesis penelitian menyatakan ada perbedaan signifikan antara kemampuan berbicara siswa kelas 8 SMP N 3 sebelum dan sesudah diajar menggunakan picture narrating pada tahun ajaran 2013/ 2014. Dari perhitungan t – test, t-obtained diketahui 19.7 dan t-critical ±2.021 dengan level signifikan(α) .05 dan degree of freedom 38. T-obtained lebih besar dari t-critical. Jadi, penulis menolak H0(null hypothesis) dan menerima H1(alternative hypothesis) karena t-obtained jatuh di wilayah kritis. Sehingga penulis menyimpulkan bahwa ada perbedaan signifikan antara kemampuan berbicara kelas 8 SMP N 3 Jepara sebelum dan sesudah diajar menggunakan picture narrating pada tahun ajaran 2013/2014. Berdasarkan hasil diatas, penulis menyarankan bahwa picture narrating efektif digunakan dalam kegiatan berbicara. Dan juga bisa dijadikan solusi bagi guru bahasa inggris sebagai teknik alternative dalam pengajaran berbicara untuk membuat siswa lebih senang pada pelajaran bahasa inggris

    We 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
