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
臺灣地區長青學苑教師教學型態與學員學習滿意度之研究
No full text[[abstract]]本研究的主要目的是想瞭解臺灣地區長青學苑教師教學型態、學員學習滿意度的情形
，及二者間的關係，並據以作成建議，供老人教育有關單位參考。
為達上述目的，首先透過文獻探討，研究長青學苑的現況、特性與發展、教師教學型
態、學生學習滿意度之理論與研究；其次編擬「臺灣地區長青學苑教師教學型態調查
問卷」及「臺灣地區長青學苑學員學習滿意度調查問卷」做為本研究之研究工具；研
究樣本取自八十學年度第一學期，開辦有長青學苑研習課程的縣市長青學苑學員，共
計1307名；調查所得資料經平均數、百分比分析、t 考驗、單因子變異數分析、皮爾
森積差相關、逐步複迴歸分析之後，獲得下列研究發現：
一、關於長青學苑教師教學型態方面
（一）就整體教師教學型態而言，以學生中心型及折衷型最多，占72.5% 。
（二）就教師教學型態各層面而言（以4 點量尺計），以「個別化教學」層面之平均
數為最高（3.49）；其次是「教學彈性」層面，為3.26；再次是「教師支持」，為
3.24；最後是「學習參與」，為3.18。
（三）就不同地區、不同班別教師教學型態而言，在某些教師教學型態層面，學員平
均得分之差異達顯著水準。
二、關於長青學苑學員學習滿意度方面
（一）就學員整體學習滿意度而言，平均分數是4.53，介於「有點同意」（4 分）與
「非常同意」（5 分）之間，表示學員對長青學苑研習具有正向之態度，其中具高度
滿意者占44.8% ，具低度滿意者占26.8% 。
（二）就學員學習滿意度各層面而言，平均分數最高的是「人際關係」層面，為4.66
；其次是「教師教學」，為4.55；最後是「課程教材」，為4.44。
（三）就不同背景學員學習滿意度而言，在整體學習滿意度上，隨著性別、年齡、目
前職業、居住地區、收入、收入狀況、參與動機、參與次數、參與班別的不同而有顯
著差異。大致而言，女性、65歲以下、家庭主婦、收入在10,000元以下、收入主要來
自子女供給、參與研習班3 次以下之學員對長青學苑研習之研習較感到滿意。
三、關於長青學苑教師教學型態與學員學習滿意度之關係
（一）就長青學苑教師教學型態與學員學習滿意度之差異而言，在整體學習滿意度及
其各層面，在學生中心教學型態下之學員，其學習滿意度較在折衷型教學型態下之學
員高。而在折衷型教學型態下之學員，其滿意度又比在教師中心教學型態下之學員高
。
（二）就長青學苑教師教學型態與學員學習滿意度之相關而言，教師教學型態及其各
層面與學員整體學習滿意度及其各層面之間皆有顯著正相關。
（三）就長青學苑教師教學型態與學員學習滿意度之迴歸分析而言，教師教學型態各
層面對學員整體學習滿意度及其各層面滿意度大多具有預測力，解釋變異量百分比由
18.3% 到56.5% 。其中，對整體學習滿意度及其各層面具最大預測力的變項是教師「
個別化教學」層面。
綜合上述研究發現，本研究獲致下列七項結論：
一、臺灣地區長青學苑教師教學型態多屬折衷型與學生中心型教學型態。
二、臺灣地區長青學苑教師教學型態隨著地區、班別不同而有顯著差異。
三、臺灣地區長青學苑學員學習滿意度頗高。
四、臺灣地區長青學苑學員學習滿意度隨其背景不同而有差異。
五、臺灣地區長青學苑教師教學型態與學員學習滿意度間有差異存在。
六、臺灣地區長青學苑教師教學型態與學員學習滿意度間有正相關。
七、臺灣地區長青學苑教師教學型態的「個別化教學」層面對學員學習滿意度最具影
響力。
根據以上結論，提出本研究之建議：
一、對於長青學苑課程教材之建議
（一）、瞭解老人的學習需求。
（二）、釐清長青學苑老人教育的目標。
（三）、改善課程內容。
（四）、選擇適當的教材。
二、對長青學苑教師教學之建議
（一）、重視學員之能力與需要。
（二）、尊重學員的學習速度。
（三）、鼓勵學員參與學習計畫的擬定。
三、對老人教育有關單位的建議
（一）、編定老人學習教材。
（二）、培養老人教育師資。
（三）、建立老人教育師資任用標準。
（四）、建立老人教育評鑑制度。
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
