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
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

TeacherTraining and EducationFaculty. Sebelas MaretUniversity. 2010.
The objective of this research is to know whether or not the use of realia
can improve the students’ vocabulary mastery or not. In this research the writer
limits mastering vocabulary on meaning. The action hypothesis of the research is
theuse of realiainteachingcan improvethestudents’ vocabularymastery.
The research is a classroom action research. The action research was
conducted on April 2009. This study was conducted on the fourth grade students
of SD Negeri Kalimacan in academic year 2008/2009. There were 18 students. In
this research, the researcher taught vocabulary using realia. This classroom action
research was conducted in two cycles. Each cycle consists of four steps namely
planning, action,observation, and reflection. In collecting the data,thewriterused
two techniques namely test and non-test technique. Test technique consist of pre-test and post-test which were conducted in every cycle. Non-test technique
consists of three ways namely observation, interview, documentation. In
observation the research observed the activities during the action by noting them
on field notes. The field notes were made for every meeting. The second is
interview.Theresearcherinterviewedtheteacherandthe students beforeand after
conducting the action. The third is documentation. The researcher documented the
activities during the research using photograph. In analyzing the data, the
researcher studied the field notes of observation and the result of the interview.
Statistically, the writer calculates the mean score of pre-tests and the mean score
of post-teststhen comparedthem.
The result of the action showed that the students’ vocabulary mastery
improved as shown in the result of both the observation of students’ activities
during the action and the result of the pre-tests and post-tests scores. The mean
score of tests in cycle 1 are 7.05 to 8.16. In cycle 2 the mean score of pre-test is
7.23 and the mean score of post test is 9.16. There were also positive changes in
students’ behavior in learning English. During the action, the students paid good
participation tothe lesson. Thestudentswere moreactive in joining theprocessof
teaching and learning. Therefore, it can be concluded that teaching vocabulary
using realiacan improvethestudents’ vocabularymastery
