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
An Analysis of English Speaking Strategies of Hawkers at Tourism Spot
Full text linkEnglish is not only important for students to learn at school but can also be learned outside of school either through courses or autodidactically. Therefore, this study aims to analyze hawkers' English speaking learning strategies in tourist areas. This research is qualitative research with a case study method. The research data was collected through interviews with five hawkers to understand the strategies used in learning English especially speaking and a literature study to find out the types of language learning strategies used. The results showed that learning strategies used by hawkers in learning English, especially in speaking were 1) Hawkers' strategies in learning English for the first time, especially in speaking are social strategies and affective strategies. 2) Hawkers' strategies in learning English, especially speaking, are social strategies. 3) In terms of developing or improving pronunciation, they use social strategies and cognitive strategies. 4) In terms of strategies to improve vocabulary, they use memory strategies, social strategies, and cognitive strategies. 5) In terms of improving speaking fluency, they use social strategies and cognitive strategies. 6) In terms of improving accent, they used social strategies
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
Exploring the Cognitive and Social Benefits of Reading Skills Among 6th Semester Students of English Education at Hamzanwadi University
Full text linkReading is one of the four language skills that are very important to master, as it contributes not only to academic success but also to cognitive and social development. This study aims to explore the cognitive and social benefits obtained from reading skills among 6th semester students of the English Language Education Program at Hamzanwadi University. Using qualitative descriptive methods, data was collected through questionnaires (closed-ended and open-ended questions) validated by linguists and semi-structured interviews that had been tested for reliability. The research population was all semester 6 students of the English Education Study Program, Hamzanwadi University, which amounted to 120 students, with a sample of 12 students selected using purposive sampling techniques based on consistent reading activities. Data analysis uses thematic analysis through coding, categorization, and theme development stages. The findings show four main themes: (1) the improvement of critical thinking skills, (2) the development of vocabulary and language structure, (3) the improvement of social skills and participation, and (4) the formation of independent learning habits. This study concludes that reading skills significantly promote cognitive enrichment through improved analytical and linguistic skills, as well as improving students' ability to interact meaningfully with others in and out of the classroom. The implications of the study point to the need for the development of a more comprehensive reading curriculum and learning strategies that emphasize cognitive and social aspects in English language education
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
