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
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

Developing Instruments for Assessing the Teaching Effectiveness of Hospitality English for Hotels at Vocational Secondary Schools
No full textThis study aims to (1) develop instrument for assessing the teaching effectiveness of Hospitality English for hotels at vocational secondary schools (VSSs) in Malang, (2) examine the validity of the instruments, and (3) assess the effectiveness of the use of the instruments.
This developmental study employed a modified model of Borg and Gall, consisting of four major developmental procedures: exploration, development of preliminary instrument, product field testing and revision, and final validation. The first field-testing subjects were 20 students from SMK Kota Batu and three English teachers from three VSSs. The second field-testing subjects were 26 students and two teachers from SMK Jenderal Sudirman in Malang. The third field testing subjects were 81 students and four English teachers from SMKN Kotabaru Malang dan SMK Singosari in Malang.The qualitative and quantitative data were collected using a questionnaire, interview, self-report, observation, and performance test. Alpha Cronbach’s coefficient of 0.7 was used to estimate the instrument reliability. Cohen’s Kappa was used to calculate inter-rater reliability for the observation instrument. Kane’ and Bachman & Palmer’s validation methods were used to examine the vadility of the instruments.
The findings reveal process and output variables of teaching effectiveness of Hospitality English for hotels at VSSs. The process variable has 14 dimensions: planning lesson, implementing a lesson plan, establishing orientation of learning, organizing and activating knowledge, teaching ways of learning, doing varied teaching, communicating high/appropriate expectation, asking strategic questions, facilitating interaction, using realistic context, creating supportive climate, assessing communication ability, presenting subject matter, and student engagement and motivation. The inter-rater reliability analysis yielded coefficient scores of 0.77, 0.82, and 0.85 for SMKN Kotabaru, and 0.62, 0.74, 0.71 for SMK Singosari for the last three meetings.The output variable refers to skills in Hospitality English for hotels which consist of eight dimensions. The reliability analysis of the eight dimensions yielded the coefficient scores of 0.94, 0.81, 0.87, 0.95, 0.87, 0.88, 0.82, and 0.88. The affective outputs refer to satisfaction, motivation, self-confidence, and self-esteem. After unreliable items were dropped, the reliability scores of the four aspects were 0.80, 0.85, 0.85, and 0.81 respectively.Using Aiken’s coefficient, the framework devised by Kane, and the concept promoted by Bachman and Palmer, the instruments under examination are valid

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
