Development of Google Sites-based Multiple Representations Learning Media on Benzene and Its Derivatives Topic
Full text linkCOVID-19 pandemic accelerated the transformation of education and forced the digitalization of education to create effective learning. The understanding of complex chemical structures and reactions holds great significance in the realm of chemistry education. Benzene and its derivatives are particularly challenging topics that require a robust representation approach. The research aims to develop and assess the feasibility of Google Sites-based multiple representations learning media on benzene and its derivatives material. The research utilized the Research and Development (R&D) approach, adhering to the ADDIE (analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation) development model. The research was carried out until the development stage. The developed learning media effectively integrated three levels of chemical representation for benzene and its derivatives, utilizing various features such as text, animation, video, 3D molecular simulation, and images. The validation conducted by content and media experts indicated that the learning media is valid with scores of 95.8% and 92.5%, respectively, with excellent category. Furthermore, the product quality assessment conducted by experts and students\u27 responses showed that media could be used practically, with percentages of 95% and 95% as excellent categories. These findings confirm the suitability of the developed learning media for facilitating students\u27 understanding of benzene and its derivatives during the learning process
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

Development of Interactive Multimedia on Acids and Bases Contextually (IMPAC) Incorporating Multiple Representations
Full text linkThe research for the development of the interactive multimedia IMPAC carries important implications for chemistry education, particularly in the topic of acid-base solutions. The contextual approach applied makes the material more relevant to students’ daily lives, thereby enhancing their motivation and engagement in learning. Research method 4D Development. Validation by media and content experts, as well as practicality tests by teachers and readability tests by students, respectively, resulted in ideal scores of 95%, 87%, 92%, and 94%. All scores were categorized as “Very Good,” reinforcing IMPAC's feasibility for broader implementation. Therefore, IMPAC has the potential to serve as an innovative and effective learning medium that not only strengthens conceptual understanding but also fosters a more engaging, interactive, and meaningful chemistry learning experience. The implication for research is to provide recommendations for teaching materials on the acid-base solutions topic
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
